Offensive and Divisive claimed Mark Murphy. I guess having a Packer player give the black power salute is not offensive.

Only a leftist loon would consider spitting on our flag and taking a knee to be a “Dignified” act..what the hell has happened to our country has everyone gone insane. If these same people hate America so much, think we are so evil that’s fine they are free to LEAVE AT ANY TIME

President Trump spoke for the fans
We are offended
Let them run the NFL as a social justice group and see who pays to watch that sh!t

It’s this simple:

Athletes, actors, entertainers, and the rest of the elite have the right to protest and say the most vile crap they want. It is their right.

We, the people (including the President) who enrich them with our hard earned and highly taxed entertainment dollars have the right to reject them.

Therein lies the rub. The elite see this as a one way street.

Donald Trump basically stood up and did the equivalent of telling the world that McDonalds hamburgers taste like dog droppings. It doesn't get much more humiliating than that, and McDonalds would have to respond even if they knew damn well that their hamburgers were made of 5% real beef and 95% dog crap.

I'll tell you what has these owners so upset. It has nothing to do with Trump's allegedly "divisive" and "offensive" comments about telling an S.O.B. player that he's fired. It was his suggestion that maybe fans should just walk out of the stadium.

This is the end of the NFL.

Vince Lombardi would have beaten Kapernick and his ilk to within an inch of his life for not standing for the national anthem and then benched him for the rest of his career.

“divisive” and “disunity” and “disrespect” are embodied in the words and behaviors of SJW a-holes like Kaeperdick and his ilk.

It is hilarious to see Goodell and other NFL bureaucrats try to attack President Trump on such grounds. Trump is OBJECTING to the people who have been divisive and disrespectful. It is the SJWs who undermine “unity”....

Green Bay Packers are owned by the city, yes?

which means that the CEO is most likely a political putz.

There was a NBA player who tried this in the ‘70’s. He was Muslim and refused to stand for the anthem. He said he couldn’t because of his religious beliefs and that the flg stood for oppression. He was suspended without pay. He gave up after one game and stood from then on.

Smith added, “The line that marks the balance between the rights of every citizen in our great country gets crossed when someone is told to just ‘shut up and play.'”

Disclaimer: I used to love NFL football. I haven't watched a game in the 21st Century.

I would like to read about more, many more NFL players taking a knee. People like Smith should tell the fans to shut up and buy tickets or watch the games on TV.

These guys are just going to keep digging.
They don’t get it, and they are phony cowards if they do happen to get it.
Wait till all the lawsuits come.
They are about to be cannibalized.
They can’t fire anyone!

“As Americans, we are fortunate to be able to speak openly and freely.”

Very true. And President Trump, and everybody else, is fortunate to be able to speak openly and freely about what is said openly and freely by others.

It looks as though the Leftists fools think, if they speak first, can express themselves unopposed.

Watching football commit suicide rather than respect the USA. What the hell does the NFL or the national anthem have to do with local police shootings? Not a damn thing.

Bender, are you going to keep posting your stupid NFL threads. Or are you going to join the rest of the patriots here in boycotting these ingrates?

A Circuit Court judge ruled against an assistant coach who prayed before a game and was terminated. The judge said his Constitutional Rights were not violated because he was representing a employer.

So, the owners support the disrespect of the US flag? Fine, how about Trump and Congress remove their anti-trust and other protections? Seems like great timing.

The Packers used to have a player who had the nickname of Prime Minister Of Defense. He was well known for his on the field greatness and just as well known for his off the field personal life mentoring and ministry. The man grew up with odds against him but rose up of his own efforts to become the man he was. The Packers president CEO could do the team and professional sports a huge favor by seeking out men like the late Reggie White over some brainwashed overpaid dimwits believing they are entitled to disrespect our nation and those who died for her by their childish sit down strikes. Spoiled Arrogant Millionaire Athletes using the camera for their flag disrespecting agenda are disgusting. Owners need to clean out their clubs.
