Get off of the NFL drug folks! It’s killing you! (MeneMeneTekelUpharsin)

We need to help rehabilitate folks until the NFL non-patriotic infection is healed!"

The NFL infections are like an addicting combination of the worst African STD's combined with a DC Swamp brain killing meningitis with new infections every weekend and on Thursday night. That doesn’t include the countless hours of re runs each week before and after each game which re infects the NFL victims even on non game days.

I guess the fact that President came right out and called them “Sons of b!tches” was still not strong enough signal for them to modify their behavior.

There is no honor in mob action.

NFL = Not For Long

This is the part of the story where the NFL kisses my ass.

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. -Will Rogers

The NFL is gonna have to learn this one the hard way.

700 gun deaths in Chicago in 2016, private sector one and all.

2010-2015, 93 deaths related to officer use of force.

700 compared to the 15.5 average.

Of those gun deaths, nearly 50% involved minority officers.

Something like 8 deaths per year involved White officer involved shootings.

700 vs 8

And so they kneel during the national anthem to protest how they are unfairly treated, while killing each other nearly 100/1 over the amount “White” officers do.

These men are not only failing America with their seditious acts, they are also betraying the very people they profess to be protesting for.

“STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES.”

Kind of like “let them have their gay marriage”, then they’ll leave us alone.

Or “let them have Amnesty”, “let them have the courts”, “let them have our guns”, “let them have their rigged elections”. “let them have complete control of government”...and, finally, “let them send us to the camps”. At least it does end there.

You go or watch = you pay and enable them to kneel and spit on our flag and veterans going back to 1776!

Some will, some will tolerate any idiocy, ignore any insult, just so they can watch their “hero” carry a flipping ball.

Even when that hero is giving the black militant power salute.

One should never make heroes out of those who hate you personally but will take your money. When you no longer have that, they have no use for you. If you didn’t give it at the box office, they would take it from you on the streets.

STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES.

Respectfully, I completely disagree.

To remove our Anthem from athletic events would be gifting the anti-American progressives with exactly what they want; and

It would take away a patriotic moment that we (especially younger ones) really and truly need.

I was listening to Fox this morning on car radio, and not sure who said this, but he said, (paraphrased) the American flag was good enough to drape on the coffins of returning heroes, the least these players could do is honor the bravery and memory of those who gave their lives. It was powerful statement and truth.

Good points...I'm just so tired of the antics and drama of liberals... Guess you're right... we need to keep fighting them.

Good plan. Cable free since 2007, havent missed it.

I suggest a change to number 3: take your savings and support conservative media.

Kneeling is a basic human position where one or both knees touch the ground. It is used as a resting position, during childbirth and as an expression of reverence and submission.

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?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Unfortunately not playing the national anthem is exactly the outcome they want. A borderless world society.

Another solution would be like colleges have done at games l have attended recently: do the national anthem while the teams are still in their locker rooms before they come back on the field for kickoff.
