To all players participating in these protests:

You are all cowards. Rather than protest in front of a government building, because you are protesting government actions, you safely protest in your owner’s stadium.

Cowards.

Clearly the gloves have come off of Obama’s Machine.
The infiltration started in 2004 and has now gone full on racist at the NFL.
Oh are they in for a surprise next week.

It will be interesting to see how much advertisers will be willing to pay during this seasons superbowl!

“Next step.... coming out onto the sideline without your team to stand in honor of the flag and National Anthem will be considered a “protest”. Imagine looking forward to seeing one “brave” soul daring to honor the flag...”

You mean like this?

Hatteras, I just returned from visiting my Dad’s gravesite at the National Military Cemetery. Rather than watch those who dishonor the flag, I chose to honor those who revered it.

I saw your response and then to see there was one Steeler who stood for what is right.

The players are employees, paid to perform for the fans. They should protest on their own time.

This issue is becoming a big distraction from important issues such as the size and scope of government, the federal debt, the Fed, foreign policy etc.

Allejandro Villanueva (a steeler) did exactly that. He’s a West Point graduate, and a fine patriot for defying his teammates.

You are correct. I was being generous. Most of them would be in jail for something.

Fans who object should remain at home and watch a good movie.

I did not think it was possible for me to despise the Steelers more than I already did but this foolishness showed me I was wrong. I am glad they lost.

His lips are moving, and he’s saying the words of the anthem.

The NFL was attacking the anthem, so conservatives are pushing back.

Were liberals behind the NFL in the first place? Yes.

We have so many enemies within now. The “delusional left” I see not an accident, but a carefully planned take-over by communists who realized the revolution was never going to happen, so they began the “long march through the institutions.” Over 40 years, they purposely took over education, churches, entertainment, news and a lot of law. Their toxic anti-freedom beliefs permeate everything and are made possible by tens of millions of useful idiots.

My point about muslims is how the sequence of events set in motion by 9/11 brought us to where we are today. I don’t believe our horribly divided nation in 2017 was planned by moslems, but they could not have wished for a better outcome in the attack in 2001. The confluence of subrosa communism, moslem jihad, useful idiots, a permanently aggrieved minority (no matter how much we give them), and now serious external threats has brought us to a very perilous state. If we were nuked by the NORKs today, I think half the nation would say “we deserved it — let’s surrender.”
