KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raised his fist through the national anthem before Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium, as the team interlocked their arms.

The Chiefs won't be alone in their demonstration during the Star Spangled Banner on Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks have said they also plan to stand and interlock arms. Their opponent in the game, the Miami Dolphins, plan to take another approach.

Dolphins running back Arian Foster told ESPN's Bob Holtzman that he plans to take a knee and raise his fist during the national anthem. He said some of his teammates will join him. Foster said Dolphins players met on Friday and agreed to make their own decision on how to handle Sunday's anthem.

These antics are the equivalent to a thumb in the eye during a game. Do they expect to diss us and get us to help them?

If I owned one of these teams it would be: do anything other than stand and be respectful for the national anthem or you’re fired. I don’t care how “good” a player you are.

It is a thumb in the eye to the fans and the country. It is time to send these overpaid idiots back to wherever they came from.

If the BLM millionaires intend to hi-jack the NFL to crap on the police, then I have no intention of watching any NFL coverage this year. The NFL needs to see a dramatic drop in tv ratings before it will take this seriously.

These guys don’t know what they are doing. Nothing but spoiled ingrates showing their real character. Wait till they get cut from a team, lose their paycheck, and have no skill other than playing ball; then see what “income inequality” means.

NFL says no player commemoration of 9-11, and no tribute to real warriors, the Dallas police slain by thugs.
But a raised fist by prima donnas to protest on behalf of the Treyvons, that’s OK.
Enjoy the games, boys. I’m done with them.

What if you went to a football game and saw them playing football? I will not go to any games for as long as the supporters of thugs turn them into #BlackLiarsMatter rallies.

It only shows just how ignorant they are.
If they were not slamming heads on a football field they would be in some ghetto slamming heads.

They all suck

That’s the bottom line right there. Goodell needs to act or be replaced.
