I hope the burning of NFL gear lasts longer than the “We’re more popular than Jesus!” moment the Beatles had fifty years ago.

A microphone needs to be shoved in the faces of every Democrat for their response to the players sitting during the national anthem.

Come on democrats, do you support America or not? Let’s get it on record.

Yep, slight correction if I may though, it Anthem(s). Plural.

Excellent point. Democrats are using the NFL as surrogates in their battle against American culture. It keeps their hands clean, and the NFL was dumb enough to fall for it.

Buffalo Bills Security employee who has worked for the Bills for 30 years watched the Bills misbehave on Sunday.

He immediately pulled off his hat——his ‘Security’ shirt & walked off the job.

I hope he finds another job real soon. I applaud his actions.

I lost all respect for Mike Tomlin this past Sunday.

Who the hell does HE think he is—telling a decorated military veteran not to stand & sing the National Anthem.

He can take his black ass back to the ghetto, IMO.

Do you notice that they never mention what they are protesting!

They are protesting against the police!

This fan revolt has been brewing for a long time.

Tired of paying exorbitant prices to pay billionaires who pay a bunch of millionaire hoodlums, and also have them rape the taxpayers for their stadiums.

This was just the final straw.

Today? It’s a collection of millionaire players, a millionaire coach, a millionaire general manager, led by a millionaire owner. The system only works...as a pyramid scheme, if you, the common working man, are willing to pay $131 for an average Chicago Bears home-game....to watch a marginally competent team in 2016 achieve a 3-13 record. Is it really worth it?

Ummmm, you left out the part where taxpayers have to subsidize their millions of dollars worth of stadiums...
