The NFL would prefer the players’ now-ubiquitous protests take a back seat to the action this season, but it looks like the league won’t get its wish.
If anything, the players seem ready to take their social critique beyond sitting during the national anthem.
Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, who is among the ranks of NFL players to sit during the anthem, celebrated a sack Sunday afternoon with a single raised fist.
Bennett was the first Seattle player announced during pregame introductions before the home opener against the 49ers and ****received one of the loudest ovations.**** (NFL fans are becoming pretty much anti-American)
Then he took what’s become his usual seat on the bench during the national anthem.
Protesters supporting Bennett, who says he was subjected to racial profiling and excessive force when Las Vegas police detained him last month, gathered outside the stadium.

Now there you have some action BattleBots is the greatest.
the players all make way too much money. Eff the NFL!
Nice to know unions are still anti-American.
Look for the union libel...
Imagine the Vikings with only big Nordic guys with beards.
Yep, it’s either Spanish broadcasts or having one of the butch announcers in the booth. Screw the nfl. For a lot more reasons than these 2.
“,,,loudest ovations ,,,,,, perhaps there was some descent and disapproval in all that noise”
Seattle, One of the most leftist cities in America. It was cheers.
I wish the arab (muslim) slavers sold us slaves in the same condition as the ones sold in the middle east.
The quality of the NFL product isn’t too bad. The DC-LA was pretty good to watch. Too bad the can’t shut up and play.
Unfortunately they won’t feel it until 2021/2022 when their owners have to renegotiate the television network contract. Hopefully their salaries will be cut in half about that time.

No, they are going to destroy the Alamo and turn it into a multicultural shrine courtesy of George P. Bush.
But the major networks and advertisers are feeling it now. Praise the Lord!
Rush dodged a bullet.
Yeah, and you sound like a BLM antifa member.
Hope the NFL sets a new record for lowest superbowl TV ratings ever. And, I hope they double-down on their stupidity and teams take on heavy losses.
I’ve been a lifelong NFL fan, been to many games, etc. but my level of tolerance for anti-american, bigoted, overpaid thugs is wearing thin. High school football is more entertaining - and there’s not a damn commercial every 5 seconds!

Worth repeating!
We should have picked our own cotton!!

NO! The white guy, #68 center Justin Britt has his right hand on the shoulder of Bennett to show his support for the protest.
