The National Football League is bracing for possible widespread player demonstrations during the national anthem at Sunday’s opening games, in what would mark a high-profile escalation of a protest movement over concerns of racial injustice in America.
The games fall on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which the NFL plans to commemorate with appearances by military personnel, first responders and two U.S. presidents. That backdrop could further animate a fierce national debate set off last month by quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the anthem.
Officials with the NFL Players Association, who have been providing its union members with guidance on what protests are prohibited under the labor agreement, expect that players on several teams may pursue some form of protest.

ONLY the Obama DOJ has the power for the ”justice” they demand.
Obama, Holder and now Lynch have yet to challenge a single instance of a law enforcement officer killing a black man.
Wonder why the BLMers never protest Obama, or Holder or Lynch????
hmmmmm.
It will be the end of the NFL
After eight years of this jug-eared nitwit in the White House, black Americans are realizing that nothing has gotten better for them. Obama even tries to go so far as to flood this country with Latin American immigrants who have replaced blacks as our largest minority group.
that’s why its called the negro football league
I am preparing to not watch a single NFL game this season.
Good point.
Football is the black man’s game. Are you gonna give up watching? Hell no! If they wish to demonstrate who’s got the upper hand it’s fine by me.
Bush did not offer them the soft bigotry of low expectations
Well he has commuted prison sentences for many of them and pardoned many of them. He has made race an issue all of this crap is because of the stupid president.
FUBO
Time will tell. If it kills the game, I won’t even shed a tear.
Let’s see what happens tomorrow. It could be the last day I watch or care about the NFL & Cowboys.
Far be it from Barack Obama to really purpose to help black people. It’s like the faux war on drugs. Suppose everybody did kick the habit; now where’s the chaos and activity to be milked?
So were a lot of people who somehow thought he was a great president. Unfortunately some folks are very easily influenced and swayed.
Maybe the National Football League should rename itself if it can’t respect the National Anthem.
Now Seahawks say they will stand for the
anthem, with arms interlocked
It’s worth noting that Barack Obama’s black ancestors were not American slaves. His father was from Kenya, so he probably has the same disdain for black Americans that many recent African immigrants have.
There is simple disdain and then there is cynical using.
If you’re a hack politician like Obama who has never held a real job in his life, then “cynical using” is the way you operate every day of your life.
