Three Miami Dolphins players mirrored one of the NFL protests from last week as they kneeled for the U.S. national anthem but stood for God Save The Queen at a game in London.
Kenny Stills, Julius Thomas, and Michael Thomas all kneeled for the national anthem in Wembley Stadium, while the rest of the team stood with their hands over their hearts. The Dolphins opponents, the New Orleans Saints, kneeled prior to the anthem but stood with linked arms during the anthem.

[[Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality,]]
No sorry- that’s not true-
colin took a knee because he hates this country- he made that perfectly clear by his comments- many view the other football players who ‘show solidarity’ with him as hating this country as well-
I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, he said.
He made it perfectly clear he does not respect this country or it’s flag- and he is using a few cases of possible police brutality to justify his hatred of all police and this country- He was teaching children to hate cops and this country fro crying out loud- He didn’t ‘expand to support cop killer’- He stated right from the beginning he hated cops- all cops- wearing socks showing cops as pigs-
Colin is no hero of the supposed oppressed- He is a country and cop hating whiner-
Little Pigs BBQ is in Asheville, NC.
And Kehoe, what are you doing this Sunday?
FReeping.

F’em.

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!!
I am also watching the Presidents Cup.
Beautiful views and a good old fashioned US butt whupping!
Kneeling in England while standing at attention for God Save The Queen? They should learn how to curtsey while they’re at it.
That’s it. I’m done with the Miami Dolphins for good.
Blissfully unaware aware that African slavery was introduced to North America by the British. And that the vast majority of imported slaves came into what is now the US under the British flag.
Ouch, who cares.
Only 2 NFL teams these days - Crips and Bloods
Guess they gotta stand for the Queen whose ancestors imported slavery into the Americas
They assuming the position of subservience
But
I Don’t think she’s gonna knight them for siding with the Brits of 1814
It’s an exceptional “snoozefest” when these Londoners are used to seeing 90 minutes of non-stop action between Spurs and Chelsea. A nil-nil draw after 90 minutes plus of attacking can leave a body sweating. Just because they don’t score every time doesn’t mean that that assault on the goal isn’t as exciting. I spent five years going to first-division matches all over England. The Thrill of my lifetime was standing on “The Kop” at Liverpool watching a 0-0 tie against Leeds United.
Maybe they should become British. Go away already!
How about if the NFL players ‘dis’ the Queen etal, the BRITS may not invite them back.
Wonder how many owners/coaches/advisers have put this warning out.
The only way it stops is when it starts hurting financially.
If one MUST go to the game because ticket already paid for, at least don’t spend ANY money in the stadium.
The ONLY thing worse than an empty seat is one where the patron is not spending a sou.
In that respect if one uses that strategy, better to not resell or indicate you are not going.
Commie bastards!
True, and that is who we want to hurt since they supported this anti-Trump attack.
Saints stomped the Dolphins 20 to zip. I wonder how many Saints (if any) took a knee ...
