Baker Mayfield Reverses Course, Will Stand for the Anthem
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/20 | Dylan Gwinn

Posted on 09/12/2020 5:54:50 PM PDT by Pining_4_TX

Browns quarterback said not once, but twice, that he would kneel during the anthem this season. However, a message from the Miami Dolphins seems to have convinced the young signal-caller that the path to “real change,” doesn’t lie with on-the-field gestures.

People commenting on this at Breitbart seem to think he was wonderful for doing this. BS! His agent probably told him to find a way out, and if you read what he said, he is still spouting the lies they all are.

They are throwing the police under the bus, because they are a bunch of cowards. It makes me furious. How many know the facts or even care? None of these players have the guts to stand up for the truth and for what is right.

And there is no black national anthem. There is only the American national anthem. What's next? The Hispanic or Asian national anthem?

What a bunch of spineless weasels. I hope the NFL dies and these overpaid jerks lose their fat paychecks.

The BLM movement is nothing more than a Blame Lighter Melanins racist movement.

During a lovely, solitary, long Harley ride today, I stopped to get something to eat.

I was seated in the bar and four TV’s were silently tuned to various football games.

The pathetic little pods of people in the stands made the vast rows of empty seats pathetically obvious.

I ate my salad and drank my wine with a nice side dish of Schadenfreude! :-)

The NFL is dead to me. And death is permanent.

It’ll take years before the NFL repairs this damage - if they ever do.

Don’t give a $hit if he does somersaults during our Anthem . . . I won’t watch the Browns for any reason. He’s garbage.

I guess Baker heard from the home folks in Cleveland and Oklahoma. Too late dud.

At least one NFL Player understands that kneeling is killing the league. Is he acting in self-interest? Sure. But at least he will stand. Now when the rest of the players follow suit I might consider watching a game.

These reports are very entertaining!

They are also standing for the so-called black national anthem. Even as they stand for the only real anthem, they are still spouting lies and making excuses for teammates who don’t stand. I am (or was ) a huge OU Sooner fan, but Mayfield can go fly a kite. He is a coward and a sheep. I hope no cops show up to provide security at any NFL games.

I get it, I’m pissed too, but if anyone puts a ding into the slop that the NFL has become I’ll support. Let’s see what he does tomorrow. For sure, I won’t be watching.
