But yes, the owners can nip it in the bud if they choose to. They too are cowards.

[GnuThere]

I hope the U.K. crowd boos them, but they likely won’t.

[SoFloFreeper]

:-) Awesome.

Louisiana, take away your subsidies.

Bankrupt this anti-American set of millionaire crybabies.

[dangus]

No saints will kneel at the game. Saints kneel at church.

[WatchOutForSnakes]

This thread is based on a totally misleading title and as a result is full of terribly uninformed comments.

[pollywog]

Thank you!!!

Life long Lion’s fan here and I must admit i’m looking forward to missing the game this week,at this point i’m not willing to settle for anything less than the NFL being put in their place!

[gunsequalfreedom]

The person posting this did not print the whole statement. They will kneel BEFORE the anthem, and stand for the anthem.

I picked that up. It makes no difference. In effect, what they are saying is we are supporting those that are disrespecting the flag by kneeling.

There is no middle ground when it comes to our flag. You can't please both.

Reasons A Passport May Be Revoked

The Department of State, in accordance with the Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations 51.60-62, and 51.65, will revoke passports for the following reasons:

1. Passport was obtained illegally or fraudulently
2. Non-Payment of child support
3. Passport was misused or changed/altered
4. Passport holder’s Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship is cancelled
5. Certain drug trafficking convictions
6. Those convicted of sex tourism

Some of the players might fail on #2, #5, or #6.

I assume that if your passport is revoked you can’t get back in the USA....not sure though.

Thanks. This is the link:

But the form is not that one expects. Let me suggest that you read up in the FR "how to" section on it. No disrespect intended.

(Forgive me for not checking my own spelling/mistypes)

[imardmd1]

Thanks for your kind hint. Boy, was I ever dimwitted on this one! I guess I’m not very familiar with the teams’ cities, eh? Duh!

[tumblindice]

In England? They really are ‘taints!
Don’t come back you phaggots.

The team will kneel on Sunday as a protest to the National Anthem. They will not kneel during the National Anthem.

Local news is Louisiana is calling this a National Anthem protest.

Basically, the police/sheriff organizations are opposed to what is going on because the origin is from PIGMAN.

My priority is "God, Family, Country".

Entertainment from "Hollyweirdos" is not a priority to me.

Nor is entertainment that mocks our flag, country, military and police.

If you complain about this misleading, then the Active Shooter thread earlier would be misleading as well.

There may not have been an active shooter at the Air Force Academy. Just that it was thought to be one.

As for me, I BACK-THE-BLUE

You can always back idiot football players who disrespect our country.

It is still basically a National Anthem protest. If one kneels for 5 seconds or 5 minutes, it is still a protest.

[topher]

I should have used that BLUE CRAYON:

I BACK-THE-BLUE

There. I used my BLUE CRAYON...

“They will be standing for the anthem and the flag.”

“...will be...” But they have knelt before. It was orchestrated, and they knew better. It wasn’t a mistake. And in London, unless praying — truly praying, NO KNEELING. They need to do it on their own time. Hands over hearts, singing the song.

Hey Drew,
Your saints and the entire NFL Can go to hell.
Not one minute of tv time at my house you ungreatful pieces of horse crap.

[Joe Boucher]

Goes to show you how stoopid these nfl thugs are.
Over the centuries England has been far worse with regards human rights.

[j. earl carter]

but have American teams always played in London? Seems odd.

They have been doing this for years(they've done this in Mexico City as well). They are trying to get people in the UK interested enough in American football to have an expansion team in London. It won't work and is a dumb idea, but, as you have seen, the people who run the NFL aren't all that smart.

There was a game in London last Sunday, too. It involved the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens most famous player is a guy named Ray Lewis (now retired). Lewis was standing on the sidelines in London and took a knee with the current Ravens players during the anthem. This is relevant because Lewis is an actual murderer of black men. I didn't see it of course, but it would have been a stunning act of hypocrisy to behold.

Knowing how Europe works, the CTE issues are now going to make the NFL in Europe a non-starter.

sports talk radio must read this site....they raised the issue of passports revoked (but not the possible reasons....maybe just a coincidence).
