Today the TV is off in my house.

I decided to watch something else as well and write an email to the NFL asking why they are doubling-down on this colossal stupidity.

I know it probably won't do any good as the NFL is probably run by and full of leftists. You can tell it is because it's part of their diseased brains thinking they can use anything and everything to advance their cause. They also don't care what they destroy in the process of advancing their cause. The NFL is just their latest victim.

Okay. That High School is barred from any later pro players entering the new football league. That is how you cut out the cancer.

And far more of us white football fans are getting killed by the cops. And yet we understand the neccessity of community policing, which is why we protect their lawful behavior.

... while publicly showing a mass protest against Trump personally. Not a Trump win.

This stuff has upset me very much...more than I expected it to as I’ve got pretty broad shoulders to take a hit.

But I spent my whole childhood and adulthood without my father and the pain of that never leaves entirely. He died serving in our Military when I was just 4 yrs. old. ....my Uncle also lost his life as a Marine serving....my two sons have served and one still does only as a civilian for the Veterans Administration...saving us tax payers millions because he’s good at what he does!

When I see and hear all this going on with these players, their owners, and such regarding their utter disrespect for our Anthem and Flag I cannot express in words how deeply this cuts.....worse that the media and others are supporting this nonsense.

It would have been better had this come from an enemy...and right now that IS just what they are! What they are not is Americans....because the word ‘National’... federation league (NFL)....which represents ‘our nation’....means nothing to them.

Let the all go to Britain and serve the Queen!!!!

Grown men walking around in Jerseys pretending they’re in beer commercials. Screaming at the top of their lungs for a bunch of fake heros.... It is retarded

Well said. I've been in the garage for two years now that I've quit watching football - building stuff way more fun and no commericals

Then why did they take a knee? They did so because President Trump called out the entire NFL for disrespecting America. This is more an adult temper tantrum because someone bruised their ego..............SCREW the BASTARDS!!!

This is a true fact. What makes a man raised with so called "white privilege" be so easily manipulated to change his whole way of looking at the world. Why is he so vulnerable.

I have a theory if you'll have a listen and not get all racially butt-hurt. It goes like this.

Recent converts to any cause become fanatics. This is because they are striving to prove to themselves and others that they are sincere in their new beliefs or practices. For example: Recently out of the closet gays are some of the most aggressively flamboyant of all the gays. People that quit smoking are some of the most ardent and aggressive anti smoking Nazis. Those who become Christians in prison are fanatical about it and have to tell everyone.

(side-note observation: if somebody tells you, "have a blessed day, nine times out of ten they are ex convicts or members of alcoholics anonymous. It just seems to be a particular phrase they all have in common.)

You also find this phenomenon in light skinned blacks or blacks who have been raised around mostly white people. Often times, they over-black themselves to prove their blackness, not only to themselves but to other blacks.

Kaepernick, thanks to his girlfriend, is a recent convert to Islam and black separatist ideology. He was raised by white people. Therefore, he is eager to prove to himself and the world that he is true in his beliefs and to establish his racial bona fides.

In this case, the sickness spreads. Now others look at Kaepernick and see a martyr. In an effort to prove their racial solidarity, they follow his lead and it spreads.

I fully expect this to become the norm across the board within the next few weeks. It will spread all across society. We will see members of Congress taking a knee in the halls of power very soon, like we saw hands up don't shoot.

This culture was is far from over.

I hate the leftist media.
This was prior to the National Anthem.
They stood for the National Anthem.
///////////////////////////
Its a leftist league. This league would not allow Dallas to honor the fallen cops with a decal on their helmet. Jerry Jones caved in, just like he’s caving in to his ignorant players by kneeling. This league didn’t even let Tim Tebow take a knee. Its not just media its greed, corruption, and decadence, lusting for power and control. the useful idiots and the marxist revolutionaries crushing freedom with political correctness.

“I cannot express in words how deeply this cuts.....”

I feel ya. The left’s march to destroy the fabric of our society has been wildly successful. They’ve infiltrated & corrupted all of our institutions...Churches, schools, media, gov and now our pastimes.

Trump uses twitter so effectively, I wonder if he’s changing the nature of the presidency. Will the next president be criticized for hiding behind his press office and speaking only to reporters?

And how unusual are the rallies Trump has after he is safely ensconced in office? This populism could be game changing.

Because this continues on in mass...(and it took no time at all for Hollywood and the Media to jump on the band wagon)....it’s all about the leftist agenda still moaning that they lost and wanting to keep their base engaged with “something”...”anything”.. that can be used to oppose President Trump and this country.

They really aren’t Americans anymore...if they ever were to begin with.... Dead set on ‘Making this country in their own image”....rather than abide by the Great America it is. But nobody is interested except those oddly enough who have millions to lead their charge.......and that is interesting.

I think you are on to the heart of the matter. They have several problems.

The game is boring. Bring back the roid monsters
