Three NFL Players Took a Knee on Veterans Day
Terror Trends Bulletin ^ | 13 Nov 17 | Christopher Holton

Posted on 11/13/2017 6:41:25 AM PST by LSUfan

Three NFL players, including Eric Reid, took a knee on Veterans Day…and I have HAD IT with the NFL. The league and its players are being dishonest AND dishonorable in this case and, though this is not directly related to Jihad, I feel compelled to comment on this whole stupid saga.

NFL players are trying to change the facts of their disrespect for the flag and the national anthem after the fact. Colin Kaepernick started all this and his protest was NOT misunderstood, despite what the players may say today.

At the same time he was drawing attention to himself with his disrespect for the flag and the anthem, he was going around WEARING A FIDEL CASTRO T-SHIRT.

Fidel Castro was no champion of human rights. He was a Communist dictator. So, no one can tell me that this all started as a misunderstood effort to bring attention to police brutality or oppression or any such nonsense.

That is all a pack of lies.

Kaepernick was and is simply an anti-American Left-wing agitator and those who have followed in his path, particularly Eric Reid, should rightfully be categorized as such until such time that they rebuke Kaepernick and his demonstrations.

So, is Eric Colin’s butt boy or is it the other way around - Obama may be dining with them both ...soon.

Anyone know what the viewership was yesterday , as there was a planned protest of not tuning in.

I for one did not watch a single game in support , including not watching the Cowboys who are a team I have followed for years.

A bullet to the back of the head would have been fitting.

If an NFL player takes a knee in a stadium and nobody shows up or tunes in to hear it, does it make a sound?

If TV doesn't show it; did it REALLY happen?

The photos I happened to see indeed did show players on various NFL teams standing up, but without holding their hands on their hearts as required by the protocols of NFL regulations.

HAve they gotten fined?

The ‘flyover’ was done with F-35 stealth planes.

I didn't see them either.

That 'Whoosh' sound was kinda neat though...

Why? For allowing the NFL thugs to show their true colors?

This is the TIP of the iceberg.

"Have they gotten fined?"

Nope.

To add insult to injury, it was reported by Rush that former Democrat VP Joe Biden was interviewed on live TV by Matt Lauer during the NFL Pats/Bronco halftime program.

Who's next.....Hillary, Pocohauntus, Booker, Moochelle? Are the skids already being greased for potential Dem presidential candidates to be given invitations to appear on NFL halftime breadcasts?

Why the heck is a political figure being interviewed during a halftime show in view of the ongoing politicization of the games and players themselves?

What's next in the National Felons League path of self-destruction !!!
