Raiders Fans of course won't care, personally I think Americans should just not buy tickets or watch telecast games of any team of any sport that has these SJW protesting America and its National Anthem.

If they are so unhappy making millions and living extravagant lifestyles here than they should renounce their citizenship and move their sorry asses to a country that better meets their moral standards. Of course no one else will pay them the ridiculous amount of money they get here and maybe they are already muslins.

This crap will start spreading to college games, as well.

........I agree. The NFL has become the symbol of the HATE AMERICA FIRST crowd.

That’s enough for me, and millions like me, to want to see the demise of the NFL and the sooner the better.

Also, it’s not as much as this lone, young, ignorant black man as it is NFL top leadership who are so stupid they cannot SEE what these type of very public actions by their players are doing to their goose that has been regularly laying golden eggs.

I happened to be in a sports bar last week, and they had a football game on. I found myself starting to get into it again.

Then this big turnoff hit like a bucket of ice water.

As a Seattle Seahawks fan, I was sad that he signed with the Raiders.

Now that he’s done this, I’m glad...the Raiuders deserve him. Hope he busts both his knees. Bastard.

75% of NFL players are broke 3 years after their football careers end. I assume the breakdown is probably 50% white players, 90% black.

Lynch sat out a year and then came back to play. It wouldn't surprise me if the reason he came of retirement is because he's broke.

Wonder how long they would keep sitting/kneeling whatever if they got absolutely ZERO attention for it? I’d say not long..

Now, if we could only have politicians quit stealing our taxes for these perfumed princes.

$63M+ for the Jags JumboTron. For *HOW* many games\yr?? Nope, handed over via crony capitalism instead of solving the St. John’s River ‘problem’ (aka desalination plant)

[JimRed]

What he is doing is figuratively pissing on the blood that many, some under terrible circumstances, shed for that Anthem. And Flag.

And (1861-65) for HIS FREEDOM.

Excellent post and I heartily agree. It is nonsense supporting this anti American behavior.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Too late for me, after 50 years of watching, I’m done.

[Not A Snowbird]

He stood with Seattle. Pictures coming out today confirm it. This is the only time I’ve seen him sit.
