I remember when taking a knee in football was one of the most satisfying things in this life. It used to mean one of two things: a well-deserved respite from the grueling grind of sweltering practices during the hot and humid late summer weather of the pre-season or the final magnificent moments before a looming victory in America’s most popular sport. …
No, this isn’t really about “free speech.” If a group of NFL players used the field to protest against same-sex “marriage,” abortion, or some other wicked perversion held dear by the left, I’m almost certain that many of those now yammering about “free speech” would quickly revert to “shut up and play.” Also, where are these First Amendment champions when it comes to real speech infringement—such as what we are witnessing all across America’s college campuses? What this is really about is why a group of attention-seeking, privileged multi-millionaires have decided to use company time to disrespect their fans and their country. In other words, why do they kneel? …
Again—as shockingly few are willing to point out—they kneel for a lie! As I’ve noted before, the lie is this:
"There’s widespread and institutionalized racism inside America’s law enforcement agencies, and black Americans are especially targeted. This racism has led to the deaths of a disproportionate number of innocent black Americans. In order to stop this heinous activity, we need more gun control legislation, more wealth redistribution, more job and education programs, [and the like] and thus Americans need to elect more Democrats."
The unpopular fact is that black Americans are much safer in the presence of law enforcement than they are in black communities...

All you post is his stuff.
Got any thoughts on that?
Hmmm, click on “humblegunner” and one gets “This account has been banned or suspended.” Got any thoughts on that? And whatever happened to Michael Berry?
Not really.
So how much do you make by ripping off traffic from Free Republic?
FR is a tremendous “aggregator” of respectable conservative work. Again, Mr. Thomas work has long been posted here, from his own site, American Thinker, Patriot Post, etc.
Thanks for the post. It was a good read.
Welcome! Thanks!
You’re fooling nobody, Trevor.
It’s nice that you’ve been identified though.
We were getting a little short on scummy blogpimps around here.
You don’t know near as much as you think. Keep trying though! I don’t mind.
Geeze yer dumb...
Fire anyone showing any disrespect
Hire. A new guy
If they had done that with the couple of fools who started this, we wouldn’t still be talking about it, and the NFL would’ve saved a lot of $$$.

Great post! Lots of good information at the site. I gave them a click, well worth it.
Keep on posting!
Excerpt only is the corporate policy of the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL. Why? Because they want the clicks, same as bloggers.
I support the bloggers. I do not support the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL. I click on blogger links and other publications that I like. I do not click on LEFT MEDIA CARTEL links, F’em.
I would be more upset if FR was a click farm for the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL, God forbid.
Some people just dont get it.
72% of the players in the NFL are Black.
That right there is proof that Whitey ain't keeping anyone down due to skin color!
Thanks! My feelings exactly!
I suppose it makes them think they are actual doing something about a real problem. Almost nothing is further from the truth.
Trump swayed NFL owners on anthem rules, Kaepernick case depositions reveal!
The Wall Street Journal obtained depositions from NFL owners, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as part of a grievance case filed by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
According to Jones’ deposition, reviewed by the Journal, the president personally told him, “You can’t win this one.”
“This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump reportedly said in a call with Jones. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.”
The feud between the White House and the NFL began in September 2017, when during a rally, the president suggested that if a player knelt or refused to stand for the anthem, the owner should “get that son of a b—— off the field.”
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross reportedly said in his deposition that he thought Trump “changed the dialogue.”
“I was totally supportive of [the players] until Trump made his statement,” Ross reportedly said.
Owner of the Houston Texans Bob McNair said he thought the president’s comments were inappropriate.
But McNair, Ross and Jones all reportedly acknowledged that the protests were financially hurting their teams.
Excerpted, go to the link below for full story on how we and President Trump kicked their $orry A$$es.
Any Freeper, who posts that our protests were not impacting the NFL owners, needs to have their brains MRIed to check on their brain injuries or they were/are paid NFL Trolls.
