Gosh, what a shame. I feel sorry for those millionaires, and their billionaire owners.

The players’ “message” — the reason for their “protest” — isn’t “lost” at all to the fans and other respectable Americans. Their message is loud and clear — you might even say it’s “black and white”.

Don’t the realize that Joe Lockhart is the worst possible guy to send out there and say “this is not political”? He was Clinton’s henchman and a POS. FFL made a(nother) huge mistake when they hired him.

"....More than 200 players either knelt or used other means as expressions of unity last weekend. Lockhart said such actions are not a protest against the anthem or the flag....."

Well then, Joe, if they're not protesting the flag and National Anthem and in turn America, what are they protesting? And why are they disrespecting the flag during the National Anthem by kneeling?

They can't have it BOTH ways. You can't disrespect the flag and country during the National Anthem, by kneeling and then claim, like Lockhart does, "such actions are not a protest against the anthem or the flag...". WTF?!

So which is it, Joe? It shouldn't take a true patriot more than a millisecond to know that standing at attention, with your hand over your heart, facing the flag and not talking during the National Anthem, is the only logical option the NFL has? Joe, you hesitate? Again which is it?

The Libturds have painted themselves into a corner again and can only get out by making themselves look bad now. They do it every time when they reflexively jump on Trump's chum when he throws it out to attract the media sharks and liberal and GOPe cockroaches.

Players message was based on a false narrative by Colin Kaepernick!

The NFL says the message players and teams are trying to express is being lost in a political firestorm.

No, the message is coming through loud and clear.

The NFL needs to take their mother for a flea dip.

On the other hand, the fans' message is being heard loud and clear.

This is called "winning."

No...We get the real message loud and clear...You kneeling at the Anthem is a protest of America...And raising your stretched arm into a fist is a protest against White America...We get it...

You were just too stupid to think we’d sit back and take it...
