If you’re planning to watch the Super Bowl but you can’t stand the NFL take-a-knee protests, you may want to root for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Not a single Eagles player sat or knelt during the national anthem, one of just seven teams with perfect non-kneeling records, in a season that saw 684 such incidents, according to a study released Thursday by Sports Pundit.
The other Super Bowl LII team, the New England Patriots, landed in the middle of the pack with 17 incidents of anthem sitting or kneeling, wedged between the Buffalo Bills with 16 and the Cleveland Browns with 20.
Still, neither of the Super Bowl teams was in any danger of catching the leader: the Seattle Seahawks, which easily scored the most episodes of sitting or kneeling with 156, followed by the San Francisco 49ers with 110.
Both of those teams play in the NFC West. Oddly enough, the division’s other two teams — the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams — had zero take-a-knee protests.

I am PRAYING very hard that Philly wins, the state won Trump the election, God Bless their team today!!!!
I took the prop bet that the Eagles have more penalty yards than the Patriots.
Excellent point!
Yep.

I doubt that GOD is concerned who wins the game.
The game is no different then the final match in Wrestlemania.
God’s too busy following the English Premier League, anyway.
The Eagles have one of the anthem kneeling ringleaders on their team this year.
The NFL keeps trying to burnish its image, and I’m still not listening. I hope the National Felons League fails miserably.
Nice catch! So they didn’t kneel but gave the black power salute instead. A pox on all of them. I hope cops stop answering calls in the ghetto. Let them keep shooting each other.
I did not know this fact. Thanks for giving me new respect for my home town team! Fly Eagles Fly. (Though I’m not watching)
I am not watching. Don’t care who wins. The NFL already lost.
Shouldn’t matter which player on which team took a knee or not: what matters is that the NFL, as an organization, supported and condoned the kneelers, so all NFL teams are equally complicit.
Some of the Eagles did display black power clenched fist salutes during anthems, so they are not all clean on this.

This issue is not about individual players and stand v kneel headcounts. IT IS ABOUT THE NFL ALLOWING PLAYERS TO DECIDE WETHER TO STAND OR KNEEL. No player has a right to set employment conditions. The league took millions from the US Military to have anthem ceremonies for which the players and the teams honored the American military and were required to stand at attention on sidelines with helmet in hand. The league refused to enforce the rule and hid behind the first amendment . It isn’t a first amendment issue it is a working conditions issue. The league is now SJW. They have ruined their product and shit on their customers. they will get what they deserve. Free people, free markets. If the product is no longer worth watching, the customer will no longer buy it.
Interestingly, Justin Timberlake, the half time entertainment was quoted as saying “I will never let my son play football” The league will be eaten alive by embracing PC cultural marxism. “When the revolution comes “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
they lost. bummer.
