It's NOT about the flag or anyone's patriotism. It's about bringing attention to this country's continued racism. Quote:
Here's something else to think about. Here’s What Many White Christians Fail To Understand About The NFL Protests Quote:

Tebow appeared to be praying! I doubt Kapernick prayed.

The majority of us stand for the national anthem and kneel when we pray. Its called respect, humility and appreciation for the fallen who have given blood and treasure to preserve this Union.
What we are witnessing in the NFL stadiums is narcissistic over paid man-children who show no appreciation to a nation that has provided them an opportunity that they would not have had anywhere else. Many would be walking the streets or employed in menial jobs. some unfortunately in jail. Personal Best Regards: |

If everyone would write their congressman to sponsor a bill to eliminate the tax favoritism for the NFL perhaps we could hit the owners who could stop this where it would hurt them the most. In their wallet. And if they lose that, they wouldn't have as much money to pay these jerks who show no respect for those who died to protect them.

There is only one NFL Commissioner. I would write these on occasion along with the baseball, basketball, and other major sports officials. History of the NFL Commissioner - Wikipedia

Totally agree!
In every job I had over my entire working life, there were guidelines and expectations of behaivor. In not one of those jobs would I have been allowed to advance my own agenda on my employers time. The NFL players are employees .. nothing more, nothing less, although they seem to think they are a whole lot more. I too blame the NFL. I'd be saying, "You're on my clock, on my payroll and this is how you will act while that is a statement of fact. You want to do otherwide, don't bother to dress out because you won't be playing!" |

Totaly agree> Way overpaid players (employed by NFL) protesting at a game is crazy. The only way the NFL will get the picture is not attending or watching the games so it hurts their pocket book. I think if most of us protested something on our Employers time in front of millions of their paying customer we would be out on the street quickly.
