Not what Jones said on TV yesterday.
The NFL can go screw.

Tom Basile, host of radio show “Sunday in America” summed it up fairly well;

“Roger Goodell and team owners are playing with fire. In an effort to pander to their own players’ politics, they’re insulting a broad cross-section of Americans who are sick of the politicization of everything. But perhaps more damaging for the NFL is that fact that they risk exposing a tax scheme that will further enrage fans and potentially jeopardize their entire business model. The last thing Goodell wants is people talking about the NFL’s tax-exempt status and taxpayer subsidies.”

Not only am I not watching any NFL games, I’m giving serious consideration to taking my NFL-related hats, shirts and other paraphernalia and donating it to the local battered women’s shelter.

Perhaps some good can come out of a group of people that refuse to shun the thugs, rapists and even murderers among them.

I was so proud when in that first Sunday night game, not one of the Cowboys sat or knelt during the anthem, but now they have to pull this crap.

If some Freepers JUST have to watch the NFL I hope they at least find a nice illegal stream on the internet and buy some bootleg merchandise. Its the very least they can do.

You know, kneeling without disrespecting the Anthem and the flag doesn’t bother me.

That kneeling will turn to praying, and then the Left will despise it. You watch.

When NFL players prayed they tried not to cover it.

um.. I am confused at all the hate..

“During the national anthem, the Cowboys stood locked arm in arm but nobody took a knee or appeared to have any sign of silent protest.”

so they STOOD during the anthem ... wasn’t that the point? that they are free to protest, just not during the anthem?

Welcome to the World Football League.

I think it’s time for Christian football players to start praying during the national anthem. Put their palms together and close their eyes. It’s all free speech and right to make a statement right?

I’m driving liberals crazy by telling them Trump won. He said locking arms and standing ok. As soon as the PA announced said “please stand to honor America and National Anthem” they all stood up. LOL!

Trump is renting what little space is left in their heads.

Don’t get me wrong, I gave up the NFL Sunday at 0935 EST fter witnessing the London sh!tshow.

No one on the entire Cowboys team stood up? There's not a single real man among them. Not one.

As for the people booing in the stands -- what good does that do? Try not showing up or not buying anything at the concessions stands. Hit the jerks in their wallets or you can expect more of this.

Who do these elite rich people think will join the military and risk their lives if these elites continue to show contempt and hatred for those who do the job now?

The NFL, the owners and the players made one huge mistake. They threw America down the drain. May their season and future be disappointing and unproductive.

What the Cowboys did before the anthem totally negated what they did during the anthem.

Tried to split the baby in half.

Didn’t work in Solomon’s time and it doesn’t work now.

To hell with the NFL.

Including dem Cowboys, who could have stood up for what was right, in a city where BLM killed FIVE COPS!

Americas Team is now Kaepernicks Team.

Pathetic.

What useless sop-filled tripe. Can’t remember any opening single act from the old
“Gong Show” that jumped to the stage with anything lamer.
Get the hook.
