They took a knee before the anthem and before the flag was unfurled. I’d ask you what the problem is, but I don’t want an all caps rant. LOL
NFL GO TO HELL !!!
Simple solution for millions of offended former Cowboys fans......
TURN THE TV OFF.....don’t watch the traitorous scum
Hockey season is starting soon! Oct. 4 :)
I think fans can send a big message buying Hockey team attire and accessories and watching those games instead of football.
Spouse went to a Hockey game last year and said it was very enjoyable. Daughter and son have had same reaction, so I think we will become a hockey family :)
From their website:

The NHL’s 2017-18 regular season will commence Wednesday, Oct. 4, with a four-game slate, highlighted by the Pittsburgh Penguins raising their fifth Stanley Cup championship banner before facing the St. Louis Blues at PPG Paints Arena. The 1,271-game regular-season schedule - 82 games per team - will conclude Saturday, April 7, 2018.
Go Stars!
Oh, please. What was the knee for then? If it was anything at all political, then you just don't get the problem:
We do *not* want politics shoved gratuitously in our faces before, during, or after a sports game.
You want to make a political statement? Then do it on your own time! Not during a sports game which you sell to me as entertainment.
YOUR POLITICAL SPEECH IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT TO ME!
These multi-millionaire players have *many* more forums for expression than all of us rank-and-file guys; so they're not being cheated of their First Amendment rights when we say Shut The F**k Up And Play! And we do not have to Shut the F**k Up and Watch.
Blackhawks for the win ;)
Jerry Jones thought he could play both sides of the fence on the issue. Screw him and the rest of the kneeling knuckleheads
“YOUR POLITICAL SPEECH IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT TO ME!”
Bingo!
They didn’t kneel during the anthem or while the flag was unfurled. They stood for flag and the anthem. Are you knickers wound so tight to be offended by that?
What’s blowing over is the NFL.
By playing both sides, he came down on the wrong side. He doesn't get it either.
NFL football is sold as entertainment. THEIR POLITICAL SPEECH IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT TO ME!
Why is that so effin' hard for them to understand? STFU and play, else you're just another perennial-whiner nuisance of which I get plenty of all week long in real life.
That pic might remind some people of Tim Tebow and not Colin Kaepernick.
This is how Sovereign He is-
Someday, Jerry Jones and all of us will meet the King of Kings..and every knee will bow..and every tongue confess.
Billionaire and Millionaires on their knees for the public to see.
For whatever the reason they give, His Word predicts this will happen for all mankind.
What a sight to see the secular NFL have men bow the knee.
a sign of submission to the King of Kings.
Not in your lifetime.
you know that something is going to knell during this, don’t get your hopes up.
knell?....Not sure what you mean?...

Well, with all due respect, standing arms linked in league solidarity is not the same thing as having hand on heart and singing the anthem.
I had kids who were athletes from age 7-22. Regardless of the sport or venue, prior to every event, the National anthem was played and or sung, and all players and spectators placed their hand over their heart.
As I have noted, Sunday was Gold Star Families Day—Of all the days to not show proper respect for the flag and our military...Sheesh!
Seems to me the league proves they are not patriotic unless they are receiving money from our tax-funded military.
Guess my knickers are wound pretty tight, but then I have many friends with kids serving—one of mine would be had they not been hit by a drunk driver who gave them a medical disqualification to a military academy...so yeah, I am offended by NFL.
Oh, and isn’t Dallas where the 6 police officers were killed by BLM shooter?...Of all the teams to show solidarity with BLM and supposed offenses by the legal system...Wow.
Bravo!
