and the networks think not showing the Anthem will make the anger the fans feel go away?
FAT chance of that.
Gee, I guess that means nobody will be able to find out if the players protested or not.
No, but it will deprive these protesting SOB's of their opportunity to spit in the faces of millions of fans.
Additionally, through the grapevine, the fan base will find out which teams and players protested.
Thus, the players will experience the negative results of their shameful actions, but will get no positive benefit, by virtue of not having their unpatriotic virtue signalling broadcast to millions of NFL fans around the country and the world.
The arrogant, spoiled, selfish, ignorant, misguided, un-American, millionaire NFL players don't even realize that they are serving as useful idiots for the extreme Left.
By broadly disrespecting and insulting their own fan base, they have truly opened Pandora's Box, and will now be reaping the consequences of their foolishness and stupidity.
The kneeling NFL puppets are collectively a bunch of "bubble boys". It's incredible that they chose to act in total disregard of their fans—as if the fans didn't even exist.
These clowns act as if their multimillion dollar contracts magically drop out of the sky like manna from heaven, instead of being directly related to the quality and enjoyment factor of the entertainment product which they present—a game played on a field with an oddly-shaped inflated ball.
Their ignorance as to where their money actually comes from is breathtaking. But they will learn quickly enough, as the NFL experiences a steady decline in viewership, game attendance, merchandise sales, and—ultimately—player salaries.
Stupid is as stupid does. They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind...
The NFL is quietly desperate for a solution.
Trump blew the lid off their elitist, PC, crony capitalist thinking
