These posers who hate America need to be escorted to the nearest border and given the boot.

Hopefully, the league will fail. What a bunch of pathetic, anti-American racist losers.

They should leave America and stay there.

They should all be informed collectively that they don’t have the choice.

They are from now on prohibited from being on the field during the national anthem and will not be allowed to disgrace it, the flag or the country.

I’d rather they kneel in their locker rooms than kneel on the sidelines. Missouri/Kansas fans are likely to boo them back into their lockers anyway. That won’t look good on national tv.

This happened to a Steeler player a year or two ago. A former Army ranger, he decided to stay in the locker room as a compromise between kneeling (upsetting his Army bros) and standing (upsetting his teammates). It didn’t help ultimately.

Now what would really be great is if stadium security then walks off for the opening kickoff through at least halftime.

“I used to respect sports stars, back when they were Americans and role models for the kids.”

Back when he was in his prime playing days John Unitas lost a ton of money on a new bowling alley he invested in. He knew his name on the alley would pack the place.
One problem.
Because he was JOHN UNITAS the Maryland Alcohol Control Board wouldn’t give him a license to serve beer. They claimed that John Unitas selling beer would be a bad example for kids.
Without beer he couldn’t draw adults and the business languished for a year before he closed the doors. It took him years to pay off the debts.

Alex Karras was a big name for the Detroit Lions in the 60’s. He was suspended for betting on games.
Alex countered that the NFL was after him because if he took his wife out to dinner there would usually be a mob connected fan who would pay the bill and stop by the table for a brief chat and autograph.
The NFL warned Karras to stay away from underworld figures. Karras replied that it was impossible to go in public in Detroit at that time without coming into contact with mob connected people. It was impossible to operate a business in Detroit without dealing with the mob. Karras refused to sell his business, saying the Ford family had more contact with mob members than he did.
The next year he and Paul Hornung were suspended for one year for betting on games. Part of the agreement for Karras to play again was that he sell his interest in a restaurant because mob figures liked to frequent the place.

Even if Karras and Hornung had bet on games their treatment was tough compared to the way the league kisses the asses of the criminal element actually playing these days.

Commissioner Roger Goodell is the worst of all, figuratively fellating the third rate backup Kraperdikhead.

ESAD, you steroid spiking enemies of America.

It was a couple of decades ago that some sports writer made fun of fans who say, “We won.” It wasn’t “we,” he wrote; it was 22 black guys who, if they were aware of your existence, would hate you.

This isn’t new, and it’s time to wrap it up.

I’m happy to report that the B-2 bomber scheduled for flyover tonight is staying in its locker room due to weather, but I’m unhappy to report that it was going to fly over in the first place. None of our military should be participating in any way with these games where the flag and the national anthem are subjected to such institutional disrespect.

Take a Texan player, mash him up with some mayo and salmon —————. Take the Chief and put him on the floor for kitty to toss around and play with.
