BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Ravens fans recorded themselves burning their team gear Sunday after Baltimore players were among the first in the league to take a knee during the national anthem following President Donald Trump’s harsh criticism of the practice.

At a Friday rally, the president said that NFL owners should, when dealing with a player kneeling during the anthem, “get that son of a b**** off the field.”

The president doubled down on his initial remarks over the course of the weekend, calling on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to tell players to stand, and saying those who don’t should be fired. Goodell and some team owners criticized his comments in turn...

If Raider fans follow suit, I won’t hate ‘em as much. I don’t expect it though. Raider fans are Black Lives Matter and Antifa’s constituency.

One should always wipe thoroughly after a movement.

M&T stadium is usually filled. Ravens were top ten in attendance last year in the NFL.

I have a relative who has been a die hard fan of the Raiders since the early 80s. They just posted on social media that they’re is FINISHED watching them.

This person was a fan for 30+ years.

Rush Limbaugh had it correct, the thrill is gone.

The days of thinking of these goofballs as "heroes" are behind us. The thin veneer has been stripped away.

A movement? I'd say it was the deterioration of a product from something that appealed to most Americans into a large, stinking POS. Good luck with marketing Goddell.

Anyway, the leftists have always wanted to kill football. Their genius is they manipulated the group of people, blacks, who most benefited from an NFL career, and got them to kill the NFL for them.

Jones kneeled with his players. Cone on, Jerry. Sign CK. If you don’t it proves you’re really a racist and don’t really support the players.

“There is no dividing us. I guess we’re all sons of b****,” said Terrell Suggs.

You got that right, Terrell. And your pansy-ass, arm-linking coach, too.

the left destroys everything it gets it’s hoofs onto and that’s the truth. how many cities have they destroyed all the while attacking “red states” as being uneducated and low income. Meanwhile what they never seem to mention is within those red states are usually a deep blue city that are the reason for those statistics. For example; Tennessee has Memphis.

When white fans stop watching an entertainment consisting of 80% black employees, whites will be labelled as racist...
