Ravens Take A Knee, Get Booed, Then Stand For National Anthem

The Ravens faced a bit more scrutiny for their national anthem protest on Sunday in Baltimore.

Last week, some Ravens took a knee and locked arms with while the anthem was played in London before a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Today, the team decided to go the Dallas Cowboys route a la "Monday Night Football."

The team came out before the anthem and took a knee to a chorus of boos from fans at M&T Bank Stadium. Then the team stood for the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner."

Be funny when tickets to NFL games can be had for $10 on StubHub, if the Dindus start buying them and going to the games.

Isn’t the minimum for 2 people to attend a game a few hundred dollars for tickets, parking and a couple small warm beers? What a rip-off. To top it off, they disrespect the USA and you. How pathetic. You have to be of little brains and too much money to attend .

I might would have gone to the game just to boo if I had a free ticket. Certainly not going to pay to watch them disrespect the flag.

As far as I can tell, the thing they’re really protesting is the fact that they’re black.

They should get a race change operation then.

If you can change your sex, you can change your race too.

But if that’s not good enough enough to solve their little problem, they could opt for a species change operation, and become squids or mosquitoes or whatever.

Tax payer funded surgery for the perpetually dissatisfied booooooyyyyyy!

Their antics are still an “up yours” gesture to their fans and America. These guys STILL think they are the center of the universe. Screw the HFL!!!!!!

Man, I’m really on the cutting edge. Last year I won four club level really expensive Ravens tickets. I think they were $200+ each. I wasn’t at all busy on game day I just didn’t care. I gave them away.

They may well do that but at the price, the teams will not be sustainable. Salary cuts and such are in the forseeable future.

Do these idiots think that they can have it both ways, by kneeling before the anthem, then standing at attention when the anthem is actually playing????

Then they will say they are standing for the anthem, without addressing that they carried out their ongoing half assed protests by kneeling.
