NFL Team "The USA KNEELERS"
Posted on 09/27/2017 6:28:52 PM PDT by Hojczyk
According to the Chronicle’s Connor Letourneau, Sports Illustrated’s Executive Editor Steve Cannella said that Kaepernick was excluded because they wanted to focus on “the news of the weekend.” While helping to promote the message of “unity,” they felt central to the NFL’s protests.
Though, the real reason why the SI cut Kaepernick out is because of Donald Trump. Beneath it all, the sports media knows how wildly unpopular Kaepernick is, and how toxic the mere mention of his name can be. Let alone an image of him assuming the kneeling position for which he will forever be remembered. Therefore, the only way they can win publicly is if they paint Donald Trump as a malicious assaulter of free speech.
If Trump were to be portrayed, accurately, as an assaulter of Kaepernick and the disgraceful conduct of him and his clones. Then the media has no chance, because the public hates Kaepernick. The only way they can win is if Trump is made to look like a fascist. It’s literally the same playbook MSNBC uses, because there’s literally no difference between Sports Illustrated and MSNBC.
Those inconvenient truths, that Kaepernick and his message are toxic to the American people, and that Trump’s criticism of him was based on his conduct, not an assault on free speech. Represent a two-headed Kraken that threatens to sink the sports media’s ship of lies before it even sets sail.
SI’s cover was meant to be a statement of unity and solidarity against Trump. Instead, with the omission of Kaepernick, all it shows is that Trump has already won.

Maybe they see a sponsor leaving the NFL, and they don’t want to lose their own advertisers?
Seems simple to me.
All that pic will do is inflame the Big Sports (BS) customer base even more.
They’re united against middle America and the working man.
I can understand one man in a high public position making a statement about a perceived injustice, but a whole bunch of copycats and their employees doing the same thing smells very bad. Kind of like Astroturf.
A team meeting of Mensa it isn’t.
Yep, virtue signaling isn’t very deep. It make the person (I guess) feel better about themself while actually accomplishing nothing. Throw in some sanctimonious smugness and you have the daily life of a liberal. All self absorption/congratulation with nothing done.
“A Nation Divided / Sports United”
I don’t think “Sports is United” on this. I’m sure there are many athletes, black, brown, and white alike, who do not agree with the crap the black players are pulling, but they are too cowed to say a word against it. The only reason the owners and coaches sign on is to keep their black agitators happy and from going out on strike.
You’d think the nation was 90% black with the influence they wield.
Even when you don’t see him, he’ll always be there.
He’s the Tom Joad of NFL kneeling.
Does anyone still subscribe to SI??
So who are they trying to kid? This locking arms is “a sign of unity” with their Black teammates who are accusing White police officers of being bigots who murder Black men without cause. Is that what Jerry Jones believes? It is shameful.
The facts are illustrated by Chicago. So far this year 520 Blacks have been killed, and only 9 were killed by police…the majority of them being in self defense.
Even for SI, Kaeperdick was too damn ugly to make the cover.
Same with Popovich.
The Saddam Hussein look alike does make me laugh. I’ve been told that he is the owner of the Jaguars.
Saddam Hussein meets Salvador Dali.
Where is the bull shit leader of his own movement?
