27 players and staff took a knee this morning from the Jaguars and Ravens. Most ever in one game.

Over 500 players have communicated to me that they intend on demonstrating today.

Who knows? Maybe Rush will be an NFL owner before this is all over.

Don’t these people realize that they live in the United States of America, and that soldiers die so that they can be free to play football?

Where are their minds and hearts?

I bet people will now not go to their games. Or better yet, get up and walk out of the stadium at this show of non-respect for our country.

Im gonna be racist and ask if there are any white guys doing this? Is this about police oppression of blacks in this country? (They dont really want to view the facts on that do they?) I cant tell you one players name from the next but havent seen pictures of anything but black guys doing this.

Excuse my naivete. I would appreciate any clarification.

Just so you are aware of my stance on the issue:

The same thought occurred to me a couple days ago. One of those things that flashes through your mind while you're doing something else (like driving) and you're not in a position to post it here.

You have to buy a ticket to walk out of the stadium

Don't give these traitors a dime of your hard earned money.

What makes it even worse, the game is in London. Why don’t these a$$wipes just stay in England if this country is so bad?

Sexton is right. The very “forgotten people” who showed up to vote for Trump (and literally shocked the $#!^ out of the liberals) are the very people who will be incensed by this.

From a political perspective, this will solidify and expand Trump’s base.

Not the Republican base, though. I’m guessing most of the Republicans will remain cautiously silent on this issue for fear of being called “racist” or something.

Heard the income tax horror stories. Off course these guys won’t put their money where their mouths are.

Wonder what the reaction of players, press, fans, the public would be if when players did this; a Catholic priest wearing the collar grabbed a microphone and led the Kneeling in prayer?

Am I mean?

I suggest that if they insist on qualifying their status as Africa-Americans they have already stated their preference. Herman Cain qualified his status as American that is also Black. I think that is more to the point.

Yes, it brings many things into sharp focus.

I would think the fight against taxpayer-subsidized stadiums for these millionaire idiots has just swung sharply in our direction.

Take a knee today...tomorrow you’ll be on both knees, begging for forgiveness.

Can’t guarantee anything.
