Bengals players lock arms during national anthem

They are not fooling anyone. The NFL aired a "unity" ad. The Eagles did the "lock arms" thing too.

We know what's really on these BLM racist players minds. They said so when they marched with them:

So what is it? A different form of disrespect?

[familyop]

They show once again that they are in favor of segregation.

[Persevero]

Bengals. . . Eagles. . . .Patriots?

Any others?

[Persevero]

So this is a bad thing? It seems to me if they stood it was a good thing.

[Gay State Conservative]

Standing is good...locking arms may also be good.Hard to tell.

Yeah, the Eagles and their owner and management locked arms too - in opposition to mean Trump - I vote we start keeping the record book on all these players by how many mistakes they make - how many passes they drop, how many interceptions they throw - after all, we’ve got to make sure no one forgets how imperfect they are.....

[Skywise]

Look - if they want to protest and make a statement they can do it after a touchdown or raising the fist after sacking the white quarterback.

Making ANY statement during the national anthem is disrespecting the flag and the anthem for your own personal gain.

BOSTON (CBS) — Several Patriots players took a knee during the national anthem ahead of Sunday’s game at Gillette Stadium.

You will see locked arms when you see your ratings tomorrow.

Much simpler response from all of us. Don’t turn on NFL on TV ever again. Dry up their revenue.n Let’s put the NFL out of business.

[txnativegop]

and their advertisers put under as well.

"So what is it? A different form of disrespect?"

Yep. They're technically obeying an NFL rule to stand while continuing to stand against our nation and all who gave to it. If they are not standing with their hands over their hearts, they're defying us.

The NFL wants to fool us into continuing to give our money and time to its disrespect for America, its desire to change our Anthem and to divert our respect for members of our military forces and our country to corporate owners and their designated favorite groups (LGBTQ, BLM, feminists and others). Consider some of the social problems that have manifested in spoiled, rich families over the past few decades. They want America to bow down to those pathologies.

They got booed and heckled to “stand up.” No doubt the fans weill be called racist or what not now.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

It was more than “several.”

I watched the National Anthem before the start of the Patriots - Texans game at Gillette Field in Foxboro, Mass.

About a dozen black “Patriot” players took a knee.

Tom Brady stood, with his hand over his heart and his head bowed.

A number of black Texan players stood with their arms locked together.

Many fans in the stands at Gillette Stadium booed the kneeling players at the conclusion of the National Anthem.

I clicked off the TV before the first quarter began.

Great solidarity for our National Anthem and for our Country. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings!

[Old Yeller]

If it weren’t for their ancestors being brought over to this country, if they were even alive, they would be in Africa running from Bengal tigers.

[Persevero]

Sorry about the “Patriots.” What a joke of a name.

See comment #14. "Locking" their arms in their refusal to salute will not fly in our country.

No more revenues or time to the NFL or its disrespectful tricks. No excuses.
