And if Thomas and others follow the lead of their peers on the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens last week at Wembley, after kneeling during their country’s anthem, they will stand and show respect for the British anthem.

Americans showing more respect for a foreign country’s anthem than their own.

The very idea feels like a betrayal to the USA.

The columnist wrote this before the game today. But as expected these three clowns kneeled for their country's anthem but rose for the British anthem. Then they went out and got shut out by a bad Saints team. Justice.

Sorta like Renouncing one’s Citizenship?

“Sorta like Renouncing one’s Citizenship?”

That is what it looks like to me.

[txnativegop]

that is what it should be, but isn’t.

[HLPhat]

It’s a “special relationship”.

Set up and sold out.

[boycott]

They’ve paid such a heavy price. I am sure those meatheads could have become CEOs of major corporations or doctors instead of a bunch of whiny wild beasts. No other way most of them could make it in a civilized world.

Because it is.

Troll them mercilessly. Remind them of the traitors they are. Encourage them to pack their trash and leave.

Players stood for GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, whose ancestor Queen Elizabeth I had a ship’s captain JOHN HAWKINS, who got rich capturing slaves for shipment to the Americas. Q E I even gave Hawkins a Coat of Arms with a bound slave on it!

Then they knelt down like good little SLAVES when the Anthem was played, not wishing to honor those 700,000 White Boys, who slaughtered each other to settle the slave question.

Don't these geniuses realize that it was Britain that introduced slavery to America? It sure seems odd that they think that the US flag/anthem 'represent' slavery to them, yet they honored the Union Jack and God Save The Queen.

There's no danger in these guys ever splitting the atom.

[butlerweave]

so deport them when they get back

As well as being “the land of the free and the home of the brave” we’re also apparently the land of the ignorant and the home of the ungrateful.

NFL players are not widely known for their outstanding mental agility.

“. . . not wishing to honor those 700,000 White Boys, who slaughtered each other to settle the slave question.”

I get your point. But I’m not sure the war was fought to free slaves.

Their ancestors were enslaved by Muslim slave traders, African chiefs, and then transported to North America by British, Portuguese, and Spanish slave ships. Slave trade was abolished January 1st, 1808 by the US government, a government that had only been in existence for 21 years.

They stand for the British national anthem, which represents over 200 years of slave trading. A nation that had a class system until after WWII.

These are under-educated individuals who have been sold a bill of goods. They have swallowed the socialist propaganda hook line and sinker.

I for one am thrilled that my ancestors got on those boats, willingly or unwillingly, and ended up in this great nation.

[fortheDeclaration]

I am glad they got defeated 20-0.

[LouAvul]

Haven't we had enough about these millionaire ghetto fools and their seeking attention? I swear, sometimes there are six threads on one page dedicated to this trash.

Leave it alone. I can't stand sports. I can't stand the illiterate fools who play sports. And I can't stand reading about either.

[NohSpinZone]

Then, move on.

LOL, you could also put the Pope in there and it would still work.
