But in this situation if the team decided that we, all of us, were going to wait in the tunnel while the national anthem is being played, that was the protocol that should have been followed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Did Kaepernick follow the rules?

On that basis, Fox Sports 1’s Skip Bayless agreed that Villanueva — a former Army Ranger with a distinguished service record in Afghanistan — should not have come out for the Anthem.

Skip Bayless' face looks kind of dirty.

I think former US Army Ranger Captain Alejandro Villaneuva should wash Bayless' face off with the nearest concrete block wall...

Tom Brady said that what President Trump said was “divisive”.

What Tom and his ilk fail to see is that the Kaepernick kneel is what is “divisive”. It is not divisive to stand at attention for the national anthem. It is courtesy and respect for all who have fought to defend that flag. Yes, mostly white folks for sure, but many black folks as well. Thousands and thousands of those folks paid the ultimate price with their lives. Is that “divisive”, Tom?

Forget the country Tom. Look to your own NFL rule book. You taunt another player or show too much celebration , or don’t stand for the anthem you are supposed to be penalized. Which is more “divisive” Tom, “taunting” another player or not taunting? Do you condone ridiculing your teammate for a botched play? No, that is “divisive”. Yet you can not allow your fellow teammates and fans to honor their country by standing for the national anthem. Instead you encourage a minority of your teammates to “taunt” them and their beliefs.

Spoiled rotten hypocrites, all.

Hmmm Interesting.

A former US Army Ranger with 3 tours is being accused of violating the sanctity of UNIT COHESION.

Yet, when one IN THE MILITARY speaks out against homos, cross dressers, weirdos in general - in the name of UNIT COHESION - he is ostracized and if high enough in rank may be summarily dismissed.

Skip you ignorant slut, please read the NFL rule book.

What Villanueva did was follow the rules. That is what you do in the military if you are given an unlawful order.

You are bleeding out of your whatever over the only guy who followed the rules?

Go bang your head against your desk until you pass out.

We voted on it and it was unanimous.

Choose your team.

Villanueva did. He just didn’t chose the Kneelers. So he will be drummed out.

Funny thing. I know more about which players and teams disrespected our country by what they did and said, than I know about what they did on the field during the game. I do not know who won games or what the standings are and now I don’t care to find out.

Skip Bayless is and always have been a cuck that always sides to the other side in these “morning Debate” shows.

Hence there is no reason to watch these sport shows as the Left’s definition of “Freedom Of Speech” is you can speak your opinion as long as you agree with the liberal line.

SENATOR Alejandro Villanueva

Jealous NFL pkayers, are you??

Alejandro Villanueva has a Senate seat waiting for him.

He does not need dirtbag players. Lol

Villanueva means new house, but new Senate seat will do just fine.

NBA and NFL are destroying black culture. Black kids all think they’re going to be pro stars and so they ignore the things they need to be doing instead to improve themselves as people.

Sports in general are given way too much importance in our society. It’s time to evaluate all our priorities and get our heads on straight for a change. Starting with the long overdue demise of the NFL and the NBA.

Villanueva is the only player who deserves to play. All the rest should be fired for not honoring their country and its flag.

"Teams, they always take the military mentality, because it’s all for one, one for all. Whatever we decide to do that’s what we’re going to do. He went on his own. I get it. He was in the military. I commend him for his service."

Shannon Sharpe is an insincere idiot!

Football, on the friendly fields of strife, is nothing like real war where men lay down their lives and commanders lay down their men's lives for that Star Spangled Banner and the Nation of Freedom it represents.

Bayless should change his name to Clueless for not seeing the double standard of “doing things as a team” after players were allowed to make political statements against what the majority for what the team was doing. Shannon Sharpe is just being the consistent race baiter that he is.
