Some of the team plans seemed more haphazard than Week One’s careful coordination. The Tennessee Titans were in the middle of pre-game warmups when the song started, causing the team to rush to the sidelines.
Titans linebacker Rashaan Evans, safety Kenny Vaccaro, and defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney took a knee, while defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons held his right fist in the air. Titans left guard Rodger Saffold knelt with center Ben Jones with his right hand on Saffold’s back. Right guard Nate Davis took a knee, as right tackle Dennis Kelly’s rested his left hand on Davis’ right shoulder.
Similarly, the Detroit Lions were caught heading toward their locker room when the anthem started. About 20 of the Lions turned and faced the flag from their end zone, with several kneeling.
The Philadelphia Eagles were out on the field during the national anthem, reversing last week’s decision to stay in the locker room during the song. The team remained on the sideline, with cornerback Darius Slay and safety Rodney McLeod kneeling and defensive tackle Malik Jackson and running back Miles Sanders raising fists. Several members of the Los Angeles Rams also kneeled.
In Dallas, defensive tackle Dontari Poe kneeled again, the lone member of the team to do so. Dallas owner Jerry Jones has expressed misgivings in the past about the practice, although his attitude has softened in the last few months. The live crowd in Dallas, where 50 percent capacity in the 80,000 seat venue is permitted, had no reaction to Poe’s protest.
Both the Cowboys and their opponents, the Atlanta Falcons, also had to scramble when the anthem started unexpectedly.

I’m just screwing around.
I don’t believe I have the power of eternal condemnation. :)
“NFL to be renamed No Fans Left”.
Or: Not for Long.
“They can go to another country if they want to disrespect this one.”
My wife keeps saying this even though I tell over and over that their goal is to destroy this country, which can only be done from the inside
Run away ! Run away !
Doesn’t that say it all !
How can anyone still support professional sports, when they are carrying the water for Marxism ?
It’s very troubling.
Today in Wisconsin on a Federal highwy, I drove by a sign that said, “ NFL GO TO HELL”..
;)
People in charge of the sound were effing with the commie clowns.
If you get your TV from any paid source instead of from an antenna, you are supporting them whether you watch them or not.
ff
Or do they only care when they can score woke points from it?
Sitting on the bench during the anthem is even more disrespectful. But I don’t watch and would not consider spending a cent on their games or products. Never again!
Not watching the NFL even though I have a Packer certificate.
