The greatest unifying force in the country is the symbol of its freedom, and that aint the NFL.
Everyone that is placing themselves and their organisation above the flag of the United States is in for a very rude awakening. And I'm loving it!
They are crapping on the US Flag.
The flag represents every man, woman and child, living in each of the 50 states (the stars) and it also represents our struggle to throw off the chains of King George. (the thirteen stripes)
The US Flag also was being flown by the Union Army as they defeated the slave-state democRATs of the Confederacy.
These are things the filthy oppressed-millionaire “kneelers” might have learned had they actually attended all the college classes (that we paid for) to get their “degree”.
Kraft knows that 80% of his players who are making him a fortune are black. He would rather patronize them than respect the flag. Its in the end all about the bucks for the owners. Doubt any would say, “I’d rather fire my best players ( who earn me loads of money), than disparage my heritage.” The only question is will they in fact losea significant number of football addicted fans.
Does he think Trump supporters give a flying rat’s a$$ what he thinks?

The whole time the owners were whistling past the graveyard and trying to balance their players (their employees) concerns with their customer’s (the fans) concerns.
Trump has simply shined a spotlight on the problem and now we can no longer pretend.
They are all terrified of being called racist. Black privilege is real, IMO.
Kraft’so team is now the UN-PATRIOTS
Sports should not in involve politics. It is entertainment. Players made it political. If I want politics I follow the news. Follow FreeRepublic.
So much for loyalty. With friends like Bob Kraft, you don’t need enemies. Obviously, his business means more to him than his country.
“Our players are intelligent, thoughtful and care deeply about our community...
...
Some are, most aren’t. There’s no reason to read beyond that false statement.
Well, that takes care of the so-called Patriots.
Was a fan of that team, but no longer.
FU Robert Kraft!
Then you, Mr. Kraft, should tell your players to keep their politics out of the game, sir! We didn't bring politics into the game, your low-IQ players did.
My employer would fire me for making a political protest on company property.
Which means it makes all the sense in the world to mix the two...NOT. Look in the mirror, Mr. Kraft.
Respect is earned.
Demanding the President, or us, to “respect” those who deserve none is absurd.
The NFL owners and players are part of the privileged elite in America. The owners and the player’s union are in their safe space where they can act without immediate negative consequences. Trump is exposing them as spoiled elites. —Good for Trump.
Trump has (again) struck a nerve. Pro football has been in decline as entertainment for some time. The NFL and the NBA have made choices they will regret.
Sports unifies
Politics divides
Kraft supports political expression on the sports field
Therefore he is FOR divisiveness on the field.
Obviously Kraft is a very confused man.
Let’s rewind the tape and see how each of these “free speech advocates” treated Tim Tebow and what the sports media had to say about proclaiming Christ as his Savior.
Shameless hypocrites.
Furthermore, why is it President Trump cannot express his opinions?
Except for the many NFL felons who scored 11 on the Wonderlic test.
How many teams made it through last season without at least one player getting arrested or failing a drug test?
There are many good people in the NFL, but let's not pretend they are all choir boys.
Remember OJ Simpson and Aaron Hernandez?
Just saw on Fox News that most of the players kneeled for the National Anthem and stood for ghe British Anthem in the week 3 game in London earlier today.
BOYCOTT THE NFL
