STANDERS - 11
KNEELERS - 1

Of the 12 NFL teams that stood during the National Anthem on Sunday while the opponents knelt, 11 won.

The only kneeling team that won against a standing team was the New England Patriots, who beat the Houston Texans by three points in a game that had no business being that close.

In the NFL, winning matters.

Teams that tear themselves apart with this protest nonsense are having a hard time winning. What team owner would not want to be on the side that wins 92% of the time?

When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired in at least 10 deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near on in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags.One notable case is Christopher Lane an Australian murdered in Duncan Oklahoma. (I think the figure is more like 20 racially inspired murders)

Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. Abd because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority.Which resulted in cops being murdered in cold blood.

THIS IS NEVER BROUGHT OUT WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED...

The NFL has been a garbage sport for years. No one even mentions that having to make up some dumb rule to stop kneeling is completely lame, just like the dumb rules that penalize/fine faggoty celebration displays.

The NFL players can’t or won’t simply self police themselves, and that makes it a garbage sport.

These are all big Democratic run cities. They have taken millions from taxpayers to build these stadiums. Less people are going to support entertainment such as sports when it becomes too political. That means less revenue for entertainment sports events, foolish enough to tolerate political protests during the National Anthem.
