George, how long do you think a CNN anchor would last if he refused to read the teleprompter’s criticism of President Trump?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Here’s an idea, any team with a kneeler should be assessed a 15 yard penalty to be enforced by the opposing team at any time during that game......

You tell’em brother! Don’t let the man tell you what to do! You and your homies don’t need Whitey’s country - full of racists that just wannna keep a Black man down and all. Start your own league and show’em what being down with the struggle means. And BTW GFY!!

ungrateful bastards, plain and simple. Where would you be making this kind of money and fame in the world and why? because this is a great country that allowed you to live your dream. Those who want to kneel stay in the locker room until the national anthem is over no one wants to entertain your arrogance.

My right not to be subject to left-wing nonsense supersedes my interest in anything NFL.

Not with my money, you don’t!

These comments by “former” office holders, of whatever the variety, are really meaningless. Mere weak egos trying to remain relevant after a fairly lackluster tenure in their “former” position.

Show me the “kneel” clause in the Constitution, and then we’ll talk about “rights”. Liberals define “rights” as what they “want” to happen at any given moment.

Coach could throw a rainbow flag.

My rules are more important than your rules. Only one problem, it has not been about rules why America stopped watching.

The players union has a right to be as stupid as they want.

The league is run by idiots too.

The first day Colon Kapnernick did this he should have been benched for the game and all players told “NO POLITICS ON THE FIELD”

That would have been the end of it.

My right to boycott the NFL supersedes your right to kneel.

How the heck do players have a “right” to do this on someone else’s time, dime, and property?!

Cuz if players DO have a “right” to do this on their employer’s time and dime, and someone else’s property, then Katie bar the door....

Maybe they can play for the NFL league in Liberia or wakanda or any of those other first world African countries

If they refuse to stand for our national anthem, our boycott of the NFL will continue.

It works both ways. You have no respect for America, we have no respect for you.

And our money won’t go to players who look down on our country and who insult us.

What goes around comes around.

Hopefully the union and players call Goodell’s bluff and protest like crazy—on the field.

_Then_ the owners can finally get around to finding a spine somewhere, firing Goodell, and then firing a bunch of players.

Georgie sounds like he has been seriously concussionized.
