FULL TITLE: Defiant NFL players continue to kneel while others raise their fists hours after Trump warned them to stand for the national anthem while Oakland Raiders' Marshawn Lynch arrives to stadium sporting an 'Everybody v Trump' T-shirt

Roughly 30 players on the San Francisco 49ers knelt during the national anthem Sunday, with a standing player placing a hand on the shoulder of a kneeling player in front of him.

Just one week after more than 100 players took to their knees during the The Star-Spangled Banner, smaller protests could be seen as the NFL games kicked off on Sunday.

Just 11 players knelt or sat during the anthem in the early slate of games with most players protesting ahead of the anthem.

But in another en masse protest, nine Seattle Seahawks players sat on the bench while the anthem played.

Others raised their fists in the air during the national anthem for a second straight week as they defied a fresh demand from President Donald Trump to stand.

In a unique protest, Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch arrived for his team's game against the Denver Broncos wearing a T-shirt that read: 'Everybody v. Trump'.

I don’t know what these idiots are protesting. The only institutional racism that exist in America today is against white people. Or are they expecting everyone else to clean up their communities, they themselves destroyer, while they do nothing? It does not matter what we do to help, it will do no good. If they want a better life and communities they must do it for themselves. Of course the would destroy the progressive cause in this country.

At the siege of Fort McHenry at Baltimore in 1814, the British Congreve rockets failed to sunder the American defenders. This and cannon shot against the fort. Morning came and the flag was still there and replaced by an even bigger one. I just learned that a man escaped slavery. He turned down an offer to join the British as a free man. He enlisted in the American forces.

He was Frederick Hall, aged 21 years. He changed his name to William Williams. Of the four defenders killed, this young man was one. African-American of mixed race.

Food for thought.

If they were really honest, they’d take a knee to protest domestic violence.

Separate from everything else, you must remember that Marshawn Lynch is an idiot.

What pathetic ingrates and losers these worthless players are. I hope the league suffers for a long time. Their failing would not disappoint .

I have to be honest... I don’t give a damn any more. The NFL is nothing to me, now.

If it is on and I am surfing through the channels, I will simply think to myself that that is the show that only fools watch. Idiots watch that show and the entertainers on that show are haters.

Oh and don’t whine and complain about brain and other crippling injures because I don’t care. I have no sympathy for you because I am not interested and if you don’t like it find something else to do.

Enough said. So long.

while others raise their fists

This is exactly what I posted that these greedy self serving black thugs would do, start using the black power pose. Never fails, bash America because it has caused all of the woes of the poor down trodden black and they got called on it. Now they will switch to "black power" fist and start bashing whitey and our white President.

This is what you get when colleges (and High Schools) pay the bills and fake the grades because one has athletic abilities - uneducated morons who think their crap don’t stink.
