LOL! What page are we supposed to be on again? Okay, enough of the crap. I'm done with both sides at this point. I served, they dishonor that. That's okay. Will I watch their efforts? Nope. I'm okay with that. Isn't there anything just a tad more serious than this? Oh, like maybe getting some power back on in Puerto Rico? Just a thought.

The issue is, what exactly are they kneeling about in the first place? This whole thing goes back to Ferguson and the whole “hands up, don’t shoot” fabrication. These people are propagandizing as many American people as they can into believing the narrative that cops are deliberately and indiscriminately shooting down innocent young black men all over the country, which is utter nonsense.

This weekend dramatically exposed the NFL’s support for BLM and to show they’re not going to stand for a flag that represented such injustice. Make it be known the NFL supports cop killers of BLM and the violent thugs of ANTIFA who are also connected to BLM.

This would be like the NFL in the 60s/70s supporting black panthers or weather underground or something like that.

The NFL is now supporting or in unity with two groups who are just as violent and radical.

Lying B@stards!

The flag represents the entire country, and not just the President.

For the record, I agree 100% with President Trump.

It goes back to the black panthers, tommie jones, John Carlos, and the 1968 olympics.

What sides are you referring to?

I served, they dishonor that. That's okay.

Why is it okay?

There is no dialogue. What it is is a spit in the face of all of the fans who have made it clear that they will not tolerate disrespect of their flag, anthem, and country.

Marketing 101: Know your customer. If you piss off your customer, you will not have one. Then who is going to pay your million dollar salaries? Who is going to lose? Not the customer (all those old white guys). The ones losing are the players, owners, announcers, and sponsors. We keep our money.

As far as I know, the only color fans see on the field are the colors of the jerseys.

Has anyone asked Colin Kaepernick what was up with the Fidel Castro shirt? Seems like they just glossed over that.

I’m not burning my Redskins paraphernalia. I’m giving it all, hats, jerseys, t shirts, all of it, to the Salvation Army. And I have a ton of it. My wife and I were married for 30 years and every gift giving event included at least one redskins themed item. Every time she couldn’t think of what to give me I got a new redskins hat or shirt or socks. I’m cleaning it all out this weekend. I’m gone and I’m not coming back.

These clowns don't know what they're protesting about.

I heard on the radio this morning that one of, (IIRC), the Dallas Cowboy players said that he was protesting what he thought was Trump's poor way of dealing with Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

That’s a good start. My wife and I prefer 9mm ourselves.

Yep, I predicted that they were going to make Puerto Rico Trump’s “Katrina.”

Poor Kaepernick. He’s what 11% black and the only black attribute he got is the hair? I’d be pissed at the universe too.
