NFL players across the league knelt, locked arms and even refused to come out of the locker room during the national anthem Sunday. They were joined by coaches and even owners.
It is believed to be in response to President Donald Trump's comments and tweets this week on protests during the anthem.

NFL just died.
Goodell isn’t a coward...he’s complicit. A millionaire elitist Leftist.
These players....are disgusting and pathetic. Don’t watch NFL myself because it’s boring as piss.
I’ll stick to the NHL, no wankers disrespecting their country.
NFL players who do this look like petulant little children.
They just dissed 63M deplorable, bitter clingers - that can’t be good.
I look forward to not watching Pink Month.
Terry Kath Was tragic.

“I’ll be amazed if the fans have the willpower. Watching sports is a powerful social drug.”
Bread and circuses come to mind.
“What if they had a Super Bowl and nobody cared?”
If they don’t stop this now, the Super Bowl is going to be a monstrous SHTF moment for the NFL...and their advertisers.
Let them revive the negro league and see how many people watch it.
A silly question but, can we deport them?
All because of the lie that is Ferguson and Black Lives Matter.

And because of two illegitimate Interracial confused people. Obama expressed in his books a lot of confusion about his race. This grew into a hatred for this nation. Colin K. Was a Christian with shallow convictions until he was easily swayed by a hot muzzie girl.
The confusion of both of these men born into relationships without a father is expressed in rage and hatred for all that is normal to most of us.
Looking forward to reading about empty bleachers at NFL gmes.
With the gigantic payrolls they have team owners can’t/won’t absorb significant drops in cash flow for extended periods.
Their costs are pretty well locked in long term but revenue can drop fast even with all the prepaid season ticket holders and broadcast contracts.
They count on attendance to drive revenue from parking and concession sales.
If season ticket holders don’t show up and others aren’t buying tickets they will see profits drop quickly.
This season will be suspenseful in a number of ways.
1. Rush and his Steelers
2. How far will this go in MLB?
3. Revenue losses in NFL with sponsors, owners like Kraft, et al?
4. Will any NFL players connect the dots between their paycheck and paying fans, fans merchandise sales, sponsors paying them for endorsements?
5. Will any coaches who support the U.S. and Trump battle their owners? Belicheck vs Kraft
6. Any owners who support Trump speak out?
7. Players vs players in US vs commie anti-Trump, anti-US? E.g., the one Steelers
Get out the popcorn.
All I know, is supply and demand basic economic laws apply here...however, the stupid owners will lose as their guaranteed contracts violate economic principles to their detriment.
I’d love to see some teams fold and players cry and Goodell and owners.
My heart is for the hurt food and merchandise vendors.
The irony is that the NFL is the one professional sports league that is composed almost exclusively of US citizens.
MLB has Latinos and Asians
NBA has Europeans
NHL has Canadians and Russians
I LIKE YOU!!!! Nice !!!
I so am never watching the NFL, so far almost year.
Now I maystop watching MLB
You’re right. We need to fight them straight on... Shaming them is not possible...
You’re right. We need to fight them straight on... Shaming them is not possible...
What’s next? Burning the US Flag on the sideline of professional sports games?! freeper AzJoe
Un-fn-real.............may they lose more fans and that money they seem to have no problem taking from their white fan base.
