BREAKING NEWS: American football stars drop to their knees during national anthem at Wembley in protest defying Donald Trump after he said sportsman who 'disrespect America' should be SACKED

Players from Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens dropped to their knees as national anthem played

No players were kneeling during the playing of 'God Save The Queen', which followed the US national anthem

President Trump had stoked tensions by saying NFL players who protested should be sacked by their team

American football stars took a knee in defiance of Donald Trump at Wembley Stadium today after he said sportsmen who 'disrespect America' should be 'fired'.

Players from both Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens dropped to their knees as the national anthem was played prior to the match in London.

No players were kneeling during the playing of 'God Save The Queen', which followed the Star Spangled Banner.

They did so after President Trump had stoked tensions by saying NFL players who protested during the national anthem should be sacked by their team.

At a rally on Friday night the president said: 'Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bi*ch off the field right now... he is fired.'

He was referring to a controversial string of protests started by player Colin Kaepernick last year when he sat or kneeled during the anthem to highlight the treatment of black Americans.

Players on both teams and Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who were not kneeling, remained locked arm-in-arm throughout the playing of the national anthem and 'God Save The Queen'. Khan donated $1million to Trump's inaugural committee last year.

[plain talk]

They must kneel before Zod and obey their master.

The world never took to American football for good reason. Now maybe they will. The Liverpool Jaguars. LOL.

Very clever post!

If the damn media would stop showing and promoting this crap, it would end when the attention has been eliminated.

But that's their job. Reporting controversy. Creating it if necessary.
The more , the better they like it.

[EliRoom8]

Trump’s fault, eh?

[discostu]

The fault of everybody complaining about for the last year and a half. It’s attention seeking behavior, anybody who’s spent more than an hour with a 5 year old should know the most effective way to combat attention seeking behavior. I had worked last year too, but then people started griping again and renewed their attention.

***FANCOTT ALERT*** battle stations.

Trump is making people remove their masks, so we know which side they really are on.

He’s doing a valuable service for this country.

..... Time to put our money where our mouth is and Boycott the NFL and divest ourselves of any NFL Sports stocks we own.

[Disestablishmentarian]

>>You would think “real Americans” would organize some counter-protests welcoming back these teams with “traitor” signs and “just leave” signs.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Boycott the NFL” and “Support the Red White and Blue” demonstrations at every game, from now on, might help crystallize patriotic support for a lot of things.

I!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!!@$^&*. That’s all I got to say. You get the picture.

The idiots don’t know though that England colonized a good chunck of africa.

There's so much the idiots don't know. They become muslims, yet it was the muslims who sold them into slavery. They vote for Democrats, yet it was the Dems who were the KKK. They hate the whites but it was blacks who sold fellow blacks to the muslims and to the tens of thousands of black slave owners.

The players are slaves to the NFL and the team owners who buy and sell them just like slaves. Now the team owners are afraid of a slave rebellion so they are pandering to them. We'll see how this all turns out.

So you’ve learned about positive reinforcement and behavior modification from some teacher education class? I’ve taught in the classroom for 35 years. Big deal.
What Trump did was shine a light upon some disgruntled Americans who are getting paid millions of dollars (by American hero-worshippers/suckers) while insulting this nation.
Here’s an idea. We could just turn off the television for the first five minutes and pretend that none of this happens.

[Chode]

everybody google #dienfldie or dienfldie or die nfl die and see if we can get it trending in it's search engine

[OldGoatCPO]

Ok, anyone want proof these multi-millionaire oppressed POS were passed through college without attending class, here it is. What fooking thought process led these over paid asshats to the conclusion that during wartime, (we are still at war with thousands in harms way) disrespecting our nations flag and anthem on foreign soil, while honoring the foreign nation's flag and anthem was going to piss the country off at Trump? They lack the critical thinking necessary to realize they are now further alienated from the people who fund their outrageous pay to play a game. Done with NFL including the Pack. The NFL is now on par with Jane Fonda in my book. That very flag will lay across my coffin, while taps is played because I spent a life time protecting it. This is not political, it is all about respect. Go to a veterans event if you want to see how real diversity works. The bonds of service to ones country transcends race, religion and sexuality. My Grandmother use to say only a dirty bird craps in it's own nest. Well the NFL just took a huge dump in our nest.

Ladyjane...excellent post!

[discostu]

I’ve learned about it from REALITY. Again all you have to do is look at last year. The people who didn’t like the kneelers lost interest, and shortly after so did the kneelers. By Halloween it was just Kaep and a couple of his teammates. Now Trump turned it into a Twitter feud with the players and more players that ever will kneel this weekend. What Trump did was give the attention whores what they craved: lots of attention and a defined participating enemy to rally against.

[EliRoom8]

See #88 please. He says it better than I do.

[discostu]

He’s wrong. Trump is engaging in pointless twitter beefs that accomplish nothing. Meanwhile he has yet to get a major piece of legislation to the floor much less passed. He did great in the executive order phase of the presidency, but since then it’s been a lot of one armed guy in a rowboat.

The solution to this problem is easy - - STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT ALL THUGBALL GAMES.
