NFL thought
 
U idiots who want to take a knee. Take a knee in churches and Thank God you live in this great country of ours that Allowed you to make the millions you do for playing a sport. Taka a knee next to the coffin of a real man who died serving his country so trash like u could protest our anthem. We will no longer watch or support you and will teach our grandchildren about respect and what a real Role Model is. Boycott NFL. They are stinking up the fields. Trump is right again. Fire you All !

Obviously, you have no idea what the First Amendment to the US Constitution is all about.

Boycott the NFL? With the billions of dollars spent by sports fans?

You must be daft!

If The Trumpanzee cannot get his Mexican Wall paid for by the US (after promising Mexico would pay for it), cannot repeal or replace ACA, cannot explain a tax reform that will work, YOU think he can get an effective boycott on NFL?

You definitely are daft!

My friend. By their own hand and that of Disney's ESPN, etc the NFL is beginning to stand for "No Fans Left."
What the players and sportscaster are bringing to sports is division. What sports fans want is entertainment and unity. They do not pay to watch sports for political reasons or to watch over paid man-children throw tantrums and acts of disrespect.

The NFL commissioner is over paid $30 million dollars a year and he can't keep his players in check and he does not have the guts to deal fairly and effectively with players like Tom Brady that was about as innocent in the crime he was alleged to have committed than OJ Simpson

I have predicted this push back by the public against thug sports. This kneeling is just the catalyst.

Attendance/ratings are down, and about to plummet.

Apparently, you do not understand the Constitution. When you work for someone else, you have no Freedom of Speech, period. They are entertainers, getting paid millions and have children watching them. They are just plain stupid because they are defending a scumbag, not a black man.

I will not watch pro football until the owners put a muzzle and leash on these steroid saturated apes.

Quit playing the National Anthem and then see how they protest. On the field if they do anything UN-sportsman-like, they get a fine. Let them do their protest on the field. Let them pay for it.

affald 09-24-2017 12:08 PM

Liberals have no clue about the constitution. Look at antifa.

Your boss can tell you to shut up or be fired. Any of you ever read an nfl contract?

Trouble is many liberals were never employed.

Time to support our President. Boycott all professional sports until all owners and players toe the President's line. In fact maybe we should consider who we play golf with, who we allow in our church, and which neighborhood we live in. Opposing points of view have no place when we know we're right. Time to remove ourselves from these bums. Either these people are "good Americans" or not. If you're not a Trump supporter time to consider another country.

I actually have a bigger problem with the 2 not 1 Presidents of the past (one on 9/16/1974 Ford with restrictions, second on 1/21/1977 Carter removing restrictions) pardoning 210,000 DRAFT DODGERS who either burned their draft cards refused to serve, go to Canada or Deserting, during the Viet Nam Conflict.. How do you think our Viet Nam Vets felt? What about Hanoi Jane how much money does she make a year? How many of you go to see her movies or watch Janes Netflex Hit Show? What about the beloved Cassius Clay - DRAFT DODGER who went on to become Muhammad Ali, his conviction was over turned because he became a Muslim. He's to me is still a draft dodger, what was his net worth, was he shunned? How were our MEN IN UNIFORM treated when they retuned home from Viet Nam? These are the things that bother me and still bother me! If any of you Evading Draft Dodgers are living in the Villages now my advice to you is SHUT UP, you're still scum!

Gotta love it when libtards go to extreme on EVERYTHING. I am waiting for the idiot libtard that tries to claim 1st Amendment rights when he is charged with yelling "fire" in a theater. Wow, can you imagine a soldier telling his boss to shove it and then claim his free speech? There is a time and place for everything. I bet if these cretins were fined by the owners every time they disrespected the flag, the National Anthem and our military, it would stop real fast. Blacks are treated better here than in any other country, INCLUDING their African countries. A millionaire protesting is about as credible as Tal telling someone how to do his job.

Trump sure knows how to toss out the red meat, doesn’t he ? Do you think Trump gives a $hit what these players do ? He looks for any devisive topic to rally his troops for his own ego boost. What a total POS he is

He is smarter than that. He is trying to distract people from the deepening Russian connection investigation into how they beat Hillary Clinton's political machine.

Trump Tweet, NFL Response Escalate Drama of Sunday Games
Image: Trump Tweet, NFL Response Escalate Drama of Sunday Games

Members of the Jaguars team kneel for the US national anthem Baltimore Ravens v Jacksonville Jaguars NFL game, Wembley Stadium, London, UK - 24 Sep 2017 (Rex Features via AP Images)

Sunday, 24 Sep 2017 01:07 PM

The owners of the Baltimore Ravens, the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and other teams on Sunday joined a chorus of NFL executives criticizing President Donald Trump's suggestion that they fire players who kneel for the national anthem.

The statements, including those from Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, contrasted a morning tweet from Trump and further escalated the political drama of the league's game day, which was expected to be one of the most-watched for non-sporting reasons in years.

Bisciotti said he "100 percent" supports his players' decision to kneel during the national anthem. At least seven of them did, joined by more than a dozen Jacksonville Jaguars, before the teams played at Wembley Stadium in London.

Other players linked arms — and Jaguars owner Shad Khan joined them, standing between tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Telvin Smith. He called it a privilege to do so

Well it obvious that for the NFL money means more than honor and respect. and so the Antfa tactics prevail at the NFL

And the Chicago Bears stood for the National Anthem. Kudos to the Bears for being good examples for our children by showing respect for our Country, Flag, National Anthem and our Military. I say this because it is rare that I can say anything positive about that city and I am glad to see something good coming from it for a change. The Bears have my respect, whether they win or lose the game.

perhaps you should check the contracts of each player and find out exactly what clause, sentence, or paragraph will address their behavior during the national anthem. It is interesting that until 10 or so years ago, NFL teams did not even take the field until after the national anthem, and it was a financial deal made with the US Armed Forces that had the teams take the field before the national anthem to hopefully increase the number of people who would enlist.

Yet I feel sure you voted for a four times draft dodger who had a "foot problem" but also at the same time played sports. Who then boasted that avoiding STD was his "personal Vietnam". "I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” he said.
Do you think he was a very brave soldier?

Of course there are rules, but when people break or challenge them to appeal to the very principles those rules are intended to maintain, we should, even if grudgingly, respect that. For my own part, I never cared much for this whole kneeling business, because I always figured it would spark exactly what has happened here; that is, we’re not having a conversation about police shootings, we’re having a conversation about kneeling. But there are a lot of things I don’t agree with that I recognize people have the right to do. And that leads us to the other idea of patriotism, which is that love of country doesn’t mean love of symbols, but of the principles in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Seems the two chuooch sons can haul boots on go to Africa an shoot wild life.

Guess they are only able to shoot at live things that aren't able to shoot back.

Google it, you'll see them holding up their kills disgusting!

I too think you COULD stand for 3 lousy minutes, but I do not think kneeling is a disgrace.

Can't tell you the hockey games I've been to when I have seen men NOT remove their hats, durning the NA.
