NFL players, coaches, owners lock arms, kneel during national anthem

NFL players across the league knelt, locked arms and even refused to come out of the locker room during the national anthem Sunday. They were joined by coaches and even owners.

It is believed to be in response to President Donald Trump's comments and tweets this week on protests during the anthem.

There's an easy solution: STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES. The National Anthem's NOT played before the Emmy's start - or for that matter before ANY Hollywood white liberal elite event. Why should it be played before a thugball game?

That's the goal of the thugs...

[Dilbert San Diego]

Are you liberal?

[The Toll]

Hard to call something a “National Anthem” when we aren’t really a nation any more. I don’t mind. I hate these integrate bastards so much, I have no desire to share anything with them other than nerve gas.

[eyeamok]

Obviously the National Felon League has become a “Political Organization”, it is high time to Revoke their Anti Trust exemption!!!

Looks like owners and players have chosen Kapernick instead of
fans. Too afraid to be seen kneeling outside the dressing room,
they hide outside the eyes of TV and fans.

[Old Yeller]

Any fans who continue to feed this monster with their money, are idiots.

According to an insider, many owners are privately angry and want to terminate contracts but can’t say so publicly. The ‘let’s get along’ PR is exactly that.

Goodell, as usual, shows no initiative, creativity or leadership and is hiding under his desk hoping it goes away while he conveniently blames the president.

I would love it if the stadium sound team would put the anthem on a loop and barricade the audio controls.

[Leep]

Say that again. I run down the field ,catcht that odd shaped ball and avoid getting tackled.

For this you pay me a crazy amount of money?
America sucks!

As the lobs would say ‘Trump just gave his supporters the dog whistle to stop supporting the NFL.
The question is ‘who does Trump hate?’ The media!!
Who does the fans boycott hurt financially the most? The media! Trump is so brilliant and think six moves ahead of the MSM and others. Too bad CNN does do more games for less money.
This move by Trump is a win win for Trump and Trump only. His base loves him and he hurts his enemy the media. This is delicious.

[Old Yeller]

Fans will walk.

Not if their team is winning.

There's an easy solution: STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES.

That's what they want.

Singer takes knee after singing national anthem in Detroit

Once there were no black players —I’m not in favor of that.

Later the outrage was there were no black quarterbacks —they got that.

THEN the big complain was there were no black coaches —they got that.

THEN the complaint was there were no league office staff —they got that.

And now..?

The system is falling in on itself.

They took Football Rhodesia and turned it into Football Zimbabwe.

They give off EVERY indication of not knowing who their customers are, or harboring OPEN CONTEMPT for them.

Remember this is coming from ESPN. ESPN will be fighting to survive financially in this year and next year.

There is a simple way to help ruin ESPN/Disney/NFL and save money.

#1. Cut your cable or satellite tv and use the internet to stream your tv shows. ESPN and Disney get a huge share of your monthly cable payment. They lose those $’s when you cut your cable.

#2. Use Sling Blue TV to stream some of the channels you want to watch. Sling Blue does not carry any ESPN nor Disney channels. So ESPN/NFL never get a penny from you again.

#3. By cutting your cable, you will probably have at about $100/month savings. So now you and your family can have fun on the weekends with your savings and free time save by not watching the hate America NFL thugs.

Bye, bye NFL. I want a game, not a lecture.

Romans
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

No, the goal of the thugs is to disgrace the country by pissing on the National Anthem. The easiest solution is to take away the song so they can't piss on it...
