Yes it is a psychological ploy to have you perform a new act which precludes the traditional one, eventually changing the culture and history. This has been done with holidays, the “hug” greeting instead of the handshake, renaming, language, statues, etc. I agree that locking arms is at least as bad as the kneeling, it is the Nazi salute all over again and is creepily cultish.
I hope you're right and I'm sure you have the best of intentions in the above, I personally think this country is too far gone.
You are just projecting. Drudge is a news aggregator. Freepers post articles here all the time from the other side.
The only way the NFL can ever end this foolishness is for every PLAYer to stand at attention for the National Anthem, with his right hand placed over his heart every time the anthem is played. After a decade, or so, fans may start to forgive them.
Great list, only one I was not sure of.
Seems “When my president ordered that words ‘one nation under God’ be removed from the pledge of allegiance” Didn’t happen
My biggest complaint in the past about sports figures in general is that they interview like politicians. They talk but don't say anything other than canned script: "the other team put up a good fight... we gave 110%... blah... blah... blah"
This new chorus line nonsense is the same thing. It means absolutely nothing.
The way out which they are miserably failing to find is to release a statement that says:
1) Kapernick was wrong.
2) The NFL was wrong to allow him to F up the game.
3) Distractions of a political nature will not be tolerated going forward.
They can't logically make the case that all these muscle-bound unicorns are united and yet honor their prior claims that Kapernick was brave for being independent and breaking well-establish NFL rules as well as cultural norms.
He clearly stated he was protesting the flag and America because racism. It's not possible to jive that with the current phony we-love-America and unity BS.
Rodgers is a master when it comes to reading defenses. He sucks at reading a cultural offense - the long O type.
Well... at least someone is building a fence. It's a shame all those burly brain deads are not American patriots. Because an oaf-fence made of guys that big might just work on the border.
I DID NOT BEND TO LEND A KNEE WHEN MY pRESIDENT TOOK FROM ME:
MY GOD
MY HISTORY
MY FOUNDING FOREFATHERS
MY CHILDREN
MY PRIDE FOR COUNTRY
MY HEALTH
MY HERITAGE
MY INABILITY TO TO PASS MY GRANDINHERITANCE TO FUTURE
GENERATIONS.
“...like that will fix everything.”
Agreed.
Linking arms with Democrats is far more wrong than even doing so with brain dead football players.
That is not a protest vote. It is treason against logic.
Obama got his cut from the NFL when they put a former justice department lawyer into the NFL as a form of Social Justice Outreach coordinator - you can smell the stinch of Obama all over this one - CHANGE for Chumps.
“Packer deadbeat Q/B, Aaron Rogers looked none too happy that the fans rejected his plea to lock arms”
He went to Cal - Bezerkley, total Libertard. I doubt he has an original thought unless it came from his Cabana Boy whispering in his ear while greasing him up. Olivia Munn was a beard and now she is out of the picture.
I went to ESPN.com and no outward headlines of the NFL Protests mentioned on their Home Page nor in the NFL Home Page. Of course I cut Spectrum Cable/TV/Phone this week specifically citing ESPNs political coverage - and my desire that they need to stick to SPORTS.
Ehh, the winter weather will do that.
(Written from Minneapolis, close enough.)
My son, who is in his lower 30s tells me that with social media as it is, the democrats and media can’t hide any more.
Already they are spreading the lies about Trump Tax cuts. You have to cut everyone’s taxes esp corporate. But these idiots will make you think only the rich get the breaks.
CAN SOMEONE HERE TELL ME WHY MCCONNELL IS NOT GOING TO A MAJORITY VOTE ON THINGS? THIS IS AGGRAVATING.
1 Stand facing the flag
2 take off your hat/helmet
3 put your right hand over your heart until the last note of the anthem.
Anything else is a stupid protest taking precedence over honoring flag and country.
Aaron Rodgers wants us to stand up and lock arms to show unity???
WTF is a matter with???
WE ARE UNITED against Colin Kapernick, his puppeteer, and all of Colin’s imatator’s
He has been that since his inception.
