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.
Than put on a MAGA hat and let’s get to work?
Then put on a MAGA hat and let’s get to work..?
But it does to a large segment of America.
So - your move NFL.
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.
These fools still don’t comprehend the size and intensity of the sh!tstorm they’ve stirred up.
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.
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.
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.
go back to the country where u came from u ungrateful scum....
Leftists want me to believe the kneeling is NOT about disrespecting America and the flag, but that Trump saying they should stand means he wants black people in the fields picking cotton.
Got it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please kneel to dishonor America during the playing of the National Anthem".
I thought they were protesting the third stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner?
the NFL protests are “not about disrespecting” America and the flag
Good grief. Really honey, just because I slept with the neighbor lady doesn’t mean I intended to disrespect you or our marriage. How dumb do they think we are?
Defenders of the NFL?
More like defunders of the NFL.
The owners could have nipped this in the bud.
Now their ill-advised decision and cowardly acquiescence will cost them bigly in the pocketbook.
