Agree. W-E-A-K!
wonder if other fans booed today?
Freedom of speech does not extend, of course, to the Confederate flag or Confederate statues. Or anything to do with traditional Southern culture. Or conservatives speakers on college campuses. Or conservative students.
>>but the black man finally ruined football. <<
And they are teaching these anti-Americanism stunts to their 8 year old black Pee-Wee Players.
...I lost a lot of respect for Brady on this one...
I never had any respect for the NFL. Ever. Its just a business like any other. And the players are just high paid, self important employees. Who needs ‘em?
That comment???? You’re kidding, right?
Really?? And still so many of these thugs took a knee during our National Anthem?? Appalling.
Suicide is bad ass...too.
If the NFL is a truly racist institution that enslaves black men, then how can any of these players with a clear conscience continue to play for the white Massas? Oh right. Principle is easily sold $. Let’s see how passionate they are about their cause when salaries tank.
I haven’t seen any stats, but it would be interesting to know what Trump’s vote % was among NFL season ticket holders and dedicated NFL fans who watch every weekend?
Man of Steel = you.
LOL
If that comment makes me a hardass then this country has truly become a nation of wimps.
Besides, you know I use an angle grinder.
There are many places that players can use to express their political opinions beside the football game. Athletes have the media at their beck and call. They can call press conferences or make their comments when they are being interviewed. It is not necessary to politicize sports. It is rude to interrupt the enjoyment of football fans with a gesture that is very offensive to many people. The anthem and the American flag are symbols of the country and should not be disrespected.
Just gettin' the young'uns ready for Helter Skelter, is all.
Yahoo comments are very telling.
...
Almost nobody supporting the turds.
That is what the left always want to smash and destroy everything.
This was NFL weekend to honor Gold Star Families...Really wish that Brady had cared more about Gold Star Families than his thug teammates hypocritical outrage.
Really?? And still so many of these thugs took a knee during our National Anthem?? Appalling.
I stand corrected...sort of.
Another poster stated it was an executive order and the NFL league observed it...
However, ACTUALLY, IT IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY...
What I found when I looked was that The last Sunday in Sept. is “Gold Star Mother’s Day” as per article:
http://www.dailyrecord.com/story/opinion/2017/09/22/gold-star-mothers-military/105851554/
Most people dont realize there are two mothers days each year. The one held in May is a day to show appreciation and love for Mom. We send her flowers, give her gifts, or take her out to dinner. It is a joyous day.
The other Mothers Day is held on the last Sunday in September Gold Star Mothers Day. It is not a day for celebration. It is a solemn occasion. It is a day we pay tribute to those mothers whose children died while serving this nation in the armed forces.

Oh, and this was an Obama proclamation in 2011...Boy NFL really knows how to WIN WHEN DISSING THE MILITARY!!! GOLD STAR MOMS NO LESS.
Yes, but all this results from weak leadership, first on the part of the coaches, and then the owners. Jerry Jones solved the problem quickly.
I did not know that. Thank you for the information and links.
