GREEN BAY, Wis. -- On Thursday night, Green Bay Packers players say they will be linking arms in unity during the national anthem just like they did at Sunday's game. And quarterback Aaron Rodgers hopes fans will do the same.

"This is about equality. This is about unity … and starting a conversation around something that maybe a little uncomfortable for some people," Rodgers said.

Packers fan Meghan Kempen is not a fan of the protests.

Were you and I in the same bar at lunchtime, crying with Brett when he ‘retired?’

Yeah. It took me a LONG TIME to get over that; the b@stard!

I’m 100% over Aaron, now. 100%. I’m having my tattoo removed and everything. ;)

(I’m STILL going to sleep in my Reggie White jersey, though.)

What a bunch of d*cks. I mean, REALLY? And I’m going to have to take this up with Coach. He’s not catching the LEAST little bit of flack over all this stupidity - but come tomorrow? He’s gonna!

The Leftist objective is destruction of a mainstay of traditional American culture, the NFL.

So far, so good.

But the amazing thing is that the vehicle for that plan is to use the very people who make a lucrative living from the NFL...!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

it all becomes clear when you understand this attack was set in motion by MB jihadist Linda Sarsour establishing her honey pot relationship with colin kaepernick.

By linking arms they are supporting BLM and making a political statement. My second year of being done.

The best benefit of the boycott is harming the networks. They are the evil ones. The NFL is just a wimpy organization I have a choice not to give my money to.

He’s a flaming liberal from Berkley.

To be fair, he disowns his Alma Mater - so we can disown him too.
Go Bears.
(and it is spelled Berkeley).

They are trying to pull the fans into it. Thankfully, only a few useful idiots fell for the arm-linking crap.

I hope that the reality of the opinion of real Americans hita these guys in the bank account like a ton of bricks.

Did players do the linked arms BS?


Yes. And as far as I could see, not a single one took a knee.

Disrespectful and selfish on the part of the Packers asking fans to link arms, when they hopefully want to have their right hands over their hearts.
Way to create more divisiveness, Rogers!

These players are linking arms against God, my country and my family.

Really, in Connecticut? Where?

That's fantastic! There are still *some* patriots left here in The People's Republik of Connecticut.

Excerpt from your link:
After Sarsour’s call for jihad at the Islamic Society of North America dinner earlier this summer, she nally stated something that I agree with: most Americans do not understand what the term means. If more Americans understood the term, they would realize that the host for one of America’s favorite shows, Teen Mom, was using her star power to bring Islamic Supremacy to the United States. Non-Muslims often mistakenly believe that jihad equates to a violent tragedy on the September 11 scale. This is not correct. The truth is that every Muslim has a personal jihad, many of them non-violent, but they all lead to the common goal of Islamic supremacy.

One person’s jihad may be to travel to indel lands and dress, talk and act like the host country, (which they would NOT be allowed to do in an Islamic country), all the while making the host country feel like Islam isn’t a threat, and secretly laying the groundwork for a later Muslim takeover. Kaepernick’s girlfriend is clearly a master of this form of deception. There is no other explanation for someone who lived in Saudi Arabia and does not speak out about that country’s human rights atrocities but devotes her life to ghting so-called injustices in America. Period.

Another bone-head move - pay respect to the Anthem/Flag and then do the stupid arm-linky thing. Girls will be girls - and so will NFL players.....(many apologies to girls the world over....)

+1 means I liked that comment. It means the same thing as the ‘like’ button at facebook.
