Well, it’s about really about Patriotism and respect for your country.

But I guess people with low IQs don’t get that.

No, dumb Aussies, it’s about disrespecting our National Anthem, our flag, and the members of the military who fought and died defending the flag so that these over-paid semi-literate fools could have the freedom to play a stupid game!

The article is drivel.

It would be racist to refrain from condemning the players knee action because most of them are black.

The moron who wrote this article things ratings are down because of how America treats its minorities. No, it’s about how these minorities, black and white millionaires treat the fans who love this country.

They got it a year ago and stuck it in their cubicle right over their monitor. The level of outrage on our side has become high enough that they can now pull out the race card and use our outrage to “prove” that we are all secret klansmen.

This is cultural cleansing, to scare the weak-minded over to their side out of fear of being denounced as a racist.

In any communist revolution, this is almost the time for them to strike for real.

Coincidentally, Kaepernick became socially aware after losing his starting job. By that time he had already banked $40 million.

Nobody treats minorities worse than minorities.

If it is about race, why have Jim Brown, George Foreman and Franco Harris all come out against the protests?

Actually, it is most likely about money. The NFL broadcasters are also the same broadcasters who broadcast 98 percent negative stories about Trump. They have lost 200 million on the NFL ratings so far, and Trump just tweet torpedoed them for even more losses, with zero collateral damage on our side.

His critics think he is impulsive, however there is a lot of evidence that he is patient and smart enough to wait for maximum damage.

Make no mistake, President Donald Trump’s spat with some of the most prominent sporting stars in America is not about patriotism, or even sport. Despite his protestations, it is about race.

Dear media,
Sorry. 100% wrong once again. Go to hell.

Yours,
Prav.

Bull. They hide behind race but its about traditional values and respect for our flag and all it stands for vs. liberalism and hatred of Trump.

We wouldn't expect the Aussies to understand out culture and heritage, but the Pisttsburgh Kneeleers should know better.

Every kneeler and BLM should learn from this:

It's 12 minutes long, but well worth the viewing. Some may need a tissue.
