Good question. To me, THE most OUTRAGEOUS act was for the "kneel" to take place in...in...ENGLAND! TWICE!
Sorry for the shouting...

“Unity” with sociopaths—think I will pass on that one...

They’ve jumped the shark, and need a graceful dismount so as to not be eaten.

I think you are right. i don't think these clowns ever anticipated the amount of blowback they are getting. They really opened a can of worms, and are trying to figure out how to close Pandora's box.

Agreed. Anyone looking for thoughtful insight from Brady regarding anything other than football, is going to be looking for a while...

Yes, they'd burn the flag - and then assert (without cracking a smile) that "it has nothing to do with a lack of respect for the flag or America!"

Yes, by all means: Fart in church during the raising of the Host, and then claim that "no disrespect was intended... we only wanted to draw attention to an important problem blah-blah..."

Regards,

Not a word is said in the media about the three Cleveland Browns who gave the black power salute during the National Anthem! I wonder if it would even make it into the media if they burnt a flag.

It’s up to We The People to burn their NFL tickets and not go. Nothing the NFL does at this point, IMO, will undo their disrespect. Nothing. Let them rot.

Because the players know that burning the flag, would end just about all support for them and push themselves to the political fringe of society.

No different than our #FakeCongress. Both groups are made up of liars, thieves, liars and perverts. Both groups have had a real job and couldn’t find a job outside of their current occupation.

if I ‘played football’ for the Cleveland Browns, I think I’d do well to keep it as secret as possible...

Brady has already been sacked more times in 4 games this year than in all of last year.

He needs those players to do a better job, so he is catering to them.

That’s what I have always thought; the games should start with a flag burning then everyone will be happy, standing cheering etc.

I saw a story where the flight crew on the Saints charter waited till they were cleared to taxi but instead of taxiing, they walked off the plane. Left the Saints sitting on the ramp. The flight crew, being ex military jet jockeys, took their opportunity to show how they felt about the flag/anthem protests.
