Three Miami Dolphins players mirrored one of the NFL protests from last week as they kneeled for the U.S. national anthem but stood for “God Save The Queen” at a game in London.
Kenny Stills, Julius Thomas, and Michael Thomas all kneeled for the national anthem in Wembley Stadium, while the rest of the team stood with their hands over their hearts. The Dolphins’ opponents, the New Orleans Saints, kneeled prior to the anthem but stood with linked arms during the anthem.

They aren’t Dolphins! They are PIGS!
These turds are losing .
Thugs pure and simple.
+1
...been watching The Cup instead, hoping to catch a glimpse of a Raptor flyover since Trump is down in Bedminster today...(12 miles south of me)
Shutout 20-0.
The drama queens try to make up for boring play by getting down on all fours and lifting a rear leg on an imaginary fire hydrant.
I’m thinking of switching to something more exciting, like cricket or soccer. Or curling. They really get after it with those little brooms.
Anyone else find it both sickening and funny at the same time after learning that Russia manipulated these people with fake news to spark these protests in the first place?
To stand for “God Save The Queen” is another insult.
How many of these kneelers could tell you that the National Anthem was written during the Battle of FortMcHenry while the British were bombing the United States in the War of 1812? If any, it only makes their standing for the British National Anthem after “taking a knee” for the Star Spangled Banner all the more insulting. I am at Fort McHenry as I type this. I will sing the National Anthem ( along with a YouTube rendition ) at the time the Ravens may be “taking a knee” at the stadium.
Look at the number of tweets calling for Kaepernick to replace Cutler.
Maybe this is part of the ploy.
Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.
The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago “direct action” resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.
The grant includes $2,500 for CopWatch, a program that trains volunteers to follow and video police, and $15,000 for teen training, part of the group’s commitment to “develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata.”
Apparently Mr. Kaepernick is also a fan: He retweeted a July 16 message wishing Shakur a happy birthday.
That NFL decision gave conservatives a rare opportunity to take a whack at Black Lives Matter and the manipulations of Obama’s collusion with the media Instead pundits are letting the media divert that direction to “cum bye ja” and a dozen other directions. Because it diverts the focus away from media complicity.

The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continung political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags. One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.
*(At the time the media avoided any reference made to “For Trayvon” as their reason given for those murders by the culprits mainly gang members. Of the I think the figure (10)is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.
IF THIS IS BROUGHT UP WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED. WATCH HOW FAST THIS GETS SHUT DOWN
Why watch any of it? Especially if you are watching through cable or satellite, as those systems *know* what you are viewing at any given time and therefore add you to their viewer totals, which the NFL uses as evidence that “people are still watching” and to set advertising rates.
Watching as little as fifteen seconds gives them the ability to claim you as a viewer.

Only Tebow can save NFL now. I hope he sticks to baseball. If he returns to NFL, ratings will start going up again.
I am at Fort McHenry having my one-person demonstration of patriotism. While facing the flag flying high over the Fort, getting ready to accompany a beautiful YouTube rendition of the National Anthem, a four plane flyover roared above. I guess it was going to Ravens stadium....to be insulted or greeted with admiration.... I don’t know.
i see these maggots are continuing the crap ex president obama did by going around the world basically ‘apologizing for America’- By kneeling for anthem, then standing for God save the queen, they are sending the message that they believe America is garbage, and England is great- that Americans are scum, and other nations are more honorable than us-
Way to go dolphins- way to disrespect your country!
“How many remember the word ‘knelt’?”
I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Maybe it’s raciss’; everything else is these days.
Hereby; in light of their genuine display of servitude, I proudly present to Her Majesty the Queen, Supreme Monarch of the United Kingdom, the gift of these three strong young men.
Your Grace...may they serve you well.
I was at the Presidents Cup on Friday. The people in the stands surrounding the first tee stood for a robust singing (no announcement, no leader)of the National Anthem. Everyone stood, with people like the 20 or so Aussies who sang fun songs they had written for each player, skipping the hand over the heart part. Everyone showed respect. It was a wonderful day.
