League leadership, team owners and coaches have let this get out of hand, loss of revenue will solve it.
So it’s finally beginning to penetrate their thick skulls that a backlash would eventually hurt them in the wallet.
Too late.
What the NFL doesn't understand is that people have had enough. They will not settle for anything less than 100% participation of every player standing erect and still for the anthem. No kneeling, no locking arms, no stretching, no nonsense.
The league doesn't have the smarts to enforce its own rules and the players don't have the brains to get back in line, play the game, and cash the checks. The league will start to bleed cash and the game will never be what it once was.
People have to understand that at black colleges, in Black Studies curriculum, and in conversations in many black households, the repeat the lie that American history is nothing by oppression, rape, and enslavement of blacks. They refuse to see that it was this country who ended slavery (and it was Christians who led the charge). They refuse to see God's plan for America, the goodness of our Constitution, and the incredible blessing is it to live here.
They want it both ways. They want to hate America, and yet they want to personally profit from it. They want all the luxury, and none of the sacrifice and respect that accompanies being an American.
This is what the black racists believe:

Too little too late, besides, we already know how the kneelers feel about out anthem, our flag and us.
Never again, they showed their lousy Marxist hearts.
Aaron Rodgers gay link-a-thon is just as bad.
Same message to the patriotic fans -- FU.
It’s dead to me even if they all stop protesting.
They hate white people and America.
Eff them.
They are not fooling anyone.
They are still protesting and still going to lose viewers.
BS. Cam Newton gave a “black power” salute after a TD and players from teams across the league took a knee.
And the stadiums were pretty much full everywhere.
Americans will have their bread and circuses.
A friend watched the Air Force Academy vs. the UNM Lobos today and said not only did some Lobos take a knee, but 2 of the Air Force Academy players took a knee.
I was shocked. I also wouldn’t want to be those 2 players. I doubt they get away with it. As for the Lobos, we live in Albuquerque and I’ve already written to the head coach and UNM’s brand new athletic director expressing my displeasure.
Same here. Especially when what they are protesting is one big lie. I have found other things to do today.

Just uttering the word “NFL” (not really a word, but you get the idea), makes my skin crawl. I will never, ever watch again.
I think we need to reconceptualize what a win looks like. Is it every NFL player standing with their hand over their heart because they are ordered to? And then we go back to watching them? Nay. We should burn it down to the ground because they have showed us who they are: vipers and anti-Americans.
They don't even know what Americanism is. We should teach them. Fck em.
I believe the guy playing the anthem on his harmonica (awful rendition) was on his knee but the cameras did not show it. However they did show him rising after he finished. The NFL thinks we are all stupid.
Marshawn Lynch should have stayed on the bench today. It would have been less embarrassing. His stats show he had 9 carries for 12 yards in the Oakland Raiders loss to the Broncos. He’ll be very lucky if Pres. Trump doesn’t skewer that loudmouth with a Tweet for his poor performance.
