Players and teams that protested the National Anthem in week 6:

Dolphins vs. Falcons

Kenny Stills, Mike Thomas and Julius Thomas stayed in the locker room for the anthem but came out to rejoin their team after it was over. All members of the Falcons stood for the anthem but 10 did not interlock arms.

Packers vs. Vikings

All members of the Packers and Vikings stood during the national anthem. The Packers linked arms as a team once again.

Lions vs. Saints

All members of the Lions and Saint stood for the national anthem. The Lions linked arms for the anthem for the second consecutive week.

Patriots vs. Jets

All Patriots and Jets players stood during the national anthem. Jets players linked arms. The Patriots players put one hand on their teammates' back and another one on their heart.

49ers vs. Redskins

Six 49ers players including Marquise Goodwin, Eli Harold, Arik Armstead, Joe Williams, Eric Reid and Donte Johnson took a knee for the national anthem. The Redskins all stood for the anthem.

Bears vs. Ravens

All members of the Ravens and Bears stood for the national anthem. There was no moment of prayer at M&T Bank Stadium like there was two weeks ago. Fans booed the players during the prayer.

This post will be updated as Sunday's games continue.

Wonder if the Denver Donkeys will take a knee again. I will need someone to tell me because I changed the channel the first time they did it and have not watched a Felons League game since.

Trump critic Aaron Rogers out for the season, broken collarbone.

Nobody cares what they do, the NFL is over.

I think Denver has a bye this week. Cowboys too.

Those of us not watching pro football thank you for this weekly update.

Wonder what the NFL would do next week under current contract arrangements if any player turned to the stands and flipped everyone the bird?

Trump’s apology to the NFL

‘’l understand you’ve taken exception to my calling you sonsofbitches. l’m sorry. l apologize. l ask you to note that l did not call you anti-American thugs, low-life gangster wifebeaters, or pampered ignorant unpatriotic ingrates. But l did say sonsabitches. No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue... l apologize.’’

Prayer... Right! That's what they were doing.

The idiots won't learn. Linking arms, hands on backs and any other crap done during the anthem other than standing with hand on heart is now the same is jumping up and down on the flag and spitting on it.

Nobody cares about your football player ignorance, NFL players. You've already shown you know nothing about American History as well as nothing about Police Shooting Statistics and facts with your antics.

Which wouldn't matter if you didn't hate on America. It's the Hate America stuff nobody likes and in fact makes them dislike you. The NFL and perhaps Football itself was killed by some America Hating Commies who took advantage of Celebrity Ignorance.

If only you weren't so ignorant and gullible, NFL players.

“...Nobody cares...”

My feelings exactly. I no longer want to watch any of it; don’t care who wins or loses.

It’s over.

[raiderboy]

The anti American movement has fizzled and the “Sons of Bitches “ have FAILED!!

[KC Burke]

Nobody cares what they do, the NFL is over.

Ditto

In spades

Don't know and don't care.

Check with me about the NFL in four years, but until then, don't bother.

No, please enjoy. He is paid to entertain us and I find it very entertaining.

Perhaps in his time off, he will find time to protest the cops, or perhaps try to support his allegations with some actual data.
