NFL star Mike Evans kneels during anthem to protest Donald Trump
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 13, 2016 | Matt Young

Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans, who starred at Texas A&M and Galveston Ball High School, took a knee during the National Anthem before Sunday's game, but he didn't do it for the same reason as some other players in the NFL.

Evans explained after the game that he kneeled during the anthem for the first time this season because Donald Trump has been elected president.

You may want to consider that most of these players aren’t very bright to begin with, so what do you expect? Apparently this poor guy favors a crooked and corrupt administration and was hoping that Hillary as crooked as she is will follow suit and continue along the same line. A lot of folks on the left were hoping for the same including Gyorgy Schwartz who been funding many of those demonstrations and riots. You can just about imagine how disappointed he must have been, having bet on the wrong horse along with the Saudis as well as many others, who have lined the coffers of the Clinton Crime Syndicate with bribes. That alone made it worth to me seeing Hillary lose.

I was delighted to see that there still was a good portion of the public bright enough to see things for what they really are and voted to put a stop to some of that crap.

FTNFL!

After years of watching televised sports I finally boiled the excitement down to its essence: hockey fights.

Go to hockeyfights.com and you will not be disappointed. Because they’re on skates, there are rarely any injuries and it’s fun to watch designated fighter behemoths flailing away at each other on the ice.

But then, there have been no national anthem protests by members of the NHL. Hope it stays that way. Maybe hockey is worth watching for its own sake.

Keep it up illiterate college graduate millionaires who’s lifes contribution of tangible value to the world is running, jumping, throwing, and catching. Don’t worry, somebody else will cure cancer, or blindness or expand humanity to the stars, or just simply keep your water, and electricity flowing while you are doing super important running....schmuck

Is he even black? He just looks Puerto Rican. I did hear him on the Bucs radio show one day and I will say he sounded pretty ghetto so I figured maybe he was black but he is definitely mixed as he’s pretty white for a black guy.

Dear NFL bosses: We don’t pay $200 to watch someone insult us or thrust his politics on us again net our will. It’s very disrespectful. FYI.

I like the idea of liberals kneeling before Trump.

‘I win. I always win.’ <<<<

TRUMP SHOULD SAY THAT!!!....Talk about throwing liberals for a loop....he should suggest they pi$$ their pants in protest!!...He'll come and talk to them individually and calm their fears for those that do!!!

Another nail in the NFL’s coffin and one more reason why I haven’t watched and will no longer watch ANY NFL games.

“Idiot. So when Trump is president he’ll stop kneeling?”

Yes. It’ll be post-season.
