I don't begrudge these football players from protesting what ever it is they are protesting.
But, one, they are professionals. They are acting way below anybody's professional standards in kneeling. It's nothing but childish.
Two, they are at work for their employers and most importantly, the fans who help fund their salaries. No employer lets their employees act out politically in the workspace without being stopped or shown the door.
They should protest after the game, outside the stadium, without NFL clothing or logos on. Their problem is that they are doing it in a way that rubs it into patriotic Americans faces while at a sporting event that are expensive to attend.
Three, they should not be kneeling in disrespect for our flag, the National Anthem and America, if they are protesting something else. They can't have it both ways.
They can't kneel in protest during the National Anthem, disrespecting both it, the flag and those who put their lives on the lines to insure these whiners have the chance to get wealthy by playing a game and then claim they are not disrespecting those things in the same breath.
This whole kneeling thing is a great example of mass hysteria. No one does the right thing. They just follow the lowest common denominator and make fools of themselves in the process.
Trump is the adult who started the conversation as to why these guys were dissing the flag and country. Are there no adults in the NFL? Roger Goodell is not. He's part of the problem. Somebody needs to stand up to this and come down on the side of standing, not kneeling. Holding the right hand held over the heart and not clenched in a fist held high. Face the flag, be still, stop talking and show respect.
Must no be taught anymore because a whole lot of people don't know what it means anymore.
You’re right. They are supposed to be Professionals. Professio means you do your job whether or not you like the boss, the guy next to you or the job itself. dont do the job....don’t get paid.
