Or they are all just ignorant...of that they think they are kneeling for..?
I'd guess...most have no idea what they are kneeling for...or against.
Sheep....
Ironic, isn’t it?
When these players take the knee to protest America, they are heroes.
When Tim Tebow takes the knee to thank God, he’s vilified.
The double standard is appalling.
Jesus can’t come back soon enough.
When I was a kid, I rooted for the Cowboys.
Never thought I would say this, but the Cowboys are providing aid and comfort for terrorists, BLM.
It should blow cold over ANYONE who revokes his citizenship in support of terrorists. BLM is terrorist. Sitting down during the National Anthem is revoking one’s citizenship. Frankly, I think states should pass laws that they no longer have the right to vote and need green cards to work.
this photo hurts my heart
“this photo hurts my heart”
There are many similar photos out there. One I recall had a woman (widow?) “taking a knee” next to an obvious military grave. Completely heart breaking.
I wish someone could hack into those Jumbotrons at the arenas during games and play a long slide show of these photos while the over-privileged, ungrateful, whiny, SOBs are on their knees. It might give them something to think about. It should be easy for the fans to draw logical conclusions.
The ONLY sane thing to do is to boycott the NFL.
Easy for me to do because I never watch it anyway.
Hubby was a diehard Steelers fan but says he will not watch any NFL this season.
I hope folks who are bi+ching and threatening to do that will indeed stick to their guns.
Sadly this kneeling (and bobbing) protest will spill over to and ruin college football as well.
I agree.
Looking at all the coaches and owners coming out today to defend, its clear they know this can’t be allowed to continue week to week.
The ONLY - only solution is two teams lined up across from each other, hands over hearts, helmets under arms, every team, every player, next Sunday.
If they can’t get there, take the NATIONAL out of the logo, take the bonus pay out of the budget, and get ready for refunds to advertisers.
They have no defensible ground for the behavior we are seeing on the field - legally, ethically, morally, or financially.
Only one solution - two teams respecting the American Flag next Sunday. If those idiots want to speak, they can open their wallets and buy a commercial - they’ve got the cash.
But they WILL stand next Sunday, or they are toast.
Everything you say is true about the NFL, but I think the kneeling stunt is the tipping point.
It’s about more than just the Anthem.
The common man doesn’t relate to today’s athletes. He can’t afford to go to the games, and he pays high cable bills just to watch it on TV, and who are these athletes and owners he’s supporting?
“Nah.....Hearing Steelers player Alejandro Villanueva apologizing for his “mistake” is like watching a POW giving a propaganda confession video.....watch and see for yourself...it ain’t real.”
In that case, I would have accepted and respected the typical leftist “apology”, “I’m sorry if anyone was offended.”
He worked very hard to convince us only he was at fault.
He’s no Jeremiah Denton.
// You fellas kneeled in a show of solidarity for what??? You still have disrespected the flag and the blood of this soldier cries out from the ground against you: //
Exactly. What a powerful photo. Thanks for posting.
Someone else posted it on FR and I grabbed it to show the absolute hatefulness of disrespecting the National Anthem and the flag.
You are correct. They absolutely believe they can run rough shod over everyone. They really believe that.
Exactly what I posted the other day (vanity). They still don't get it, but they are about to understand. Once they understand, they can no longer fix what they have broken. Trust.
They stood with their little arms entwined, still making a statement of defiance. Right hand over the heart. That’s what is acceptable.
Sorry I was out of town. Those houses are really white elephants.
Can you imagine the total operating costs on the top house for the next 30 years? Property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and upkeep. How long would it take you to paint it? Clean it? Cost to re-roof it in 30 years? These guys would be better served getting a normal house they could have a chance of retaining after retirement.
They have been doing it for years. Bullying, name calling, and threatening anyone that stood up to them. That is what political correctness was all about. It has been working for them a long time. If you say anything we will call you racist, sexist, bigot...and get you fired/sued.
