The NFL's season opener is almost here, and players from both the Texans and Chiefs are discussing possible protests to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement, including both teams staying in the locker room during the national anthem.
"#Chiefs and #Texans players have been in talks about a joint demonstration before tonights NFL kickoff game that makes a statement on racial injustice and shows unity, per sources," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.

This... stuff... has been getting more talk and publicity than the game its own self. Which of course is the point.
To paraphrase Laura Ingraham, “Shut up and play”...
Idiots.
SPORTSBALL!
The cowards should pack their bags and go home.
Liberalism is able to get previously sane people to self-immolate.
It really shows us who has weak minds and low integrity.
They could stay in the locker room for the entire game! In fact—forever, as far as I’m concerned.
A business owner that cannot control his employees soon loses his business. These highly paid entertainers are purposely alienating paid customers. The owners lack testicular fortitude and deserve to suffer.
Id like to see the players say they wont play unless Antifa and BLM can start burning things, first in the field, then throughout the stands.
What good is a BLM/Antifa protest without fire?
Wearing a mask too .... LOL
They don’t deserve to even have the anthem played before they go play a kids’ game for millions. I think they should abolish it from professional sports entirely.
Actually there was a college team who did this last week in a game. All of them took a knee before lining up for the first play from scrimmage, which got them a delay of game penalty. Not only was it an insult to the opposing team, it also showed that playing football was really just not all that important to them.
Stay there and don’t bother ever coming out
Who cares what they do? They already made themselves irrelevant.
When you s&#t where you eat... you shouldn’t expect applause, while you try to capitalize on your own stupidity.
Besides, there is no applause if the theater is empty!
I wish they would. In fact, I wish every single team would do that. The media are in a frenzy over what each team will do. If they all stay in the locker rooms, the media have nothing to talk about.
How about you just don't come out, period.
So, who cares. Stay in the locker room and lose some more spectators.
Dumb a$$es!
Lock the door.
They should all be sitting on the crapper and flush at the same time to show how they really feel.
I used to respect sports stars, back when they were Americans and role models for the kids.
That train left the station over 20 years ago. I haven’t watched a game for better than 15 years. Today I have NO respect for any one of the dick-heads. What a bunch of moronic idiots. They are big and can run fast. I have no clue why they think this makes them knowledgeable about anything else. Dumb-a$$es!
There will be no one in the stands. Who will be outraged? The cardboard fans seated at the fifty yard line? lol Don’t play the anthem. Don’t give them a chance to manufacture drama. I don’t care what’s going on in their little hearts and heads. Just throw the ball, run and hit each other.
