Here's something to kneel about.
You can’t make a stand by taking a knee.
Especially since it is in their Official Rules!!!!
On pages A62-63 of the league rulebook, it states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition.”
Glad to see the Cowboys all standing for the National Anthem, do not like the kneeling and protesting at work - I would be fired, on your own time fine, on the clock, go to work.
The issue is, what exactly are they kneeling about in the first place? This whole thing goes back to Ferguson and the whole “hands up, don’t shoot” fabrication. These people are propagandizing as many American people as they can into believing the narrative that cops are deliberately and indiscriminately shooting down innocent young black men all over the country, which is utter nonsense.
This weekend dramatically exposed the NFL’s support for BLM and to show they’re not going to stand for a flag that represented such injustice. Make it be known the NFL supports cop killers of BLM and the violent thugs of ANTIFA who are also connected to BLM.
This would be like the NFL in the 60s/70s supporting black panthers or weather underground or something like that.
The NFL is now supporting or in unity with two groups who are just as violent and radical.
Why?
The NFL players handbook specifically srates that ALL players MUST be on the field for the playing of the Nationsl Anthem, ALL players MUST stand at attention for the anthem, and even describes how they must stand.
I’d like to see a list of all NFL players who decided to take a knee, along side of a list of those same players that details what they have done outside the stadium to help their communities.
And that doesn’t include mandatory team functions.
If NFL players and owners think the US is so suck, they should pick a better country and move there.
NFL players drank the communist koolaid provided by BLM and the mainstream media! Steelers coach persecuting #78. NFL should provide mandatory civics classes as part of revised football training. Dumb jocks need to acquire some understanding!
Cowboy team last night a stunt, just that!
Hope players can play soccer. It is the global communist’s preferred sport!
‘...he does not think it is “too much to ask” for NFL players to stand for the anthem.’
we are in the process of making it ‘too much to ask’ of any black to observe the most minimal of standards...
He’re the deeper question - what is it that Trump is sliding in under the radar while he has everyone distracted with the NFL protests?
No more taxpayer assistance for the NFL.
Would any other country in the world pay their players the US values them at? They would be nothing without the average American going to their games.
I say: “If they take a knee, give’em the FINGER!!”
