Three NFL players, including Eric Reid, took a knee on Veterans Day…and I have HAD IT with the NFL. The league and its players are being dishonest AND dishonorable in this case and, though this is not directly related to Jihad, I feel compelled to comment on this whole stupid saga.
NFL players are trying to change the facts of their disrespect for the flag and the national anthem after the fact. Colin Kaepernick started all this and his protest was NOT misunderstood, despite what the players may say today.
At the same time he was drawing attention to himself with his disrespect for the flag and the anthem, he was going around WEARING A FIDEL CASTRO T-SHIRT.
Fidel Castro was no champion of human rights. He was a Communist dictator. So, no one can tell me that this all started as a misunderstood effort to bring attention to police brutality or oppression or any such nonsense.
That is all a pack of lies.
Kaepernick was and is simply an anti-American Left-wing agitator and those who have followed in his path, particularly Eric Reid, should rightfully be categorized as such until such time that they rebuke Kaepernick and his demonstrations.

I took a knee as well. Have not tuned into a single NFL game for so much as a glance.
Have you seen the new NFL “patriotic” commercial? Several players state they love the country and honor veterans. Nope, sorry, noting buying this play to bring back fans.
Actually I am grateful to be boycotting NFL because spending time with my daughter and grand daughter playing games and we watched a darts tournament and we ALL had fun - not just my son-in-law and myself. THANKS NFL!
If an NFL player takes a knee in a stadium and nobody shows up or tunes in to hear it, does it make a sound?
Who were the three?
“Taking a knee”?
Isn’t that what serfs, peons and slaves do to show “respect” for their MASTERS?
Free people don’t kneel...
Guess they’re not counting all the locked arms and those waiting until after the anthem to take the field?
We, my wife and I, will not watch or have anything to do with the nfl and we will continue our 100% boycott of all NFL advertisers till every kneeler is FIRED.
I’ve been happily boycotting the NFL for over a month now. Don’t miss it a bit.
F the NFL. Don’t watch it! Don’t support it in ANY way. They are bending, don’t quit the pressure until they BREAK!
Football is for entertainment, NOT POLITICAL PROTESTS!
Hollywood as well! SHUT UP and sing, SHUT UP and play, SHUT UP and act. Just STFU.
Goodell MUST GO!........................
Yes, and the one yesterday where they eating with troops and wearing combat colors, wearing the same expression as the boy who's been told he has to play with his little sister.
The difference between the oversized lunks chasing a ball for a living and the MEN serving was quite noticeable.
I wouldn’t know as I’m never watching or having anything to do with the nfl ever again, but that which is stolen from me.
Who would see it?
