What’s the point of Kneeling if no one knows they’re kneeling

Who cares? They aren’t patriotic. They came down hard on the one guy on their team who served. They stayed in the locker room during the anthem too.

Losers.

Propaganda is good if the lies support what I want.

I,like many,many former NFL fans are at the point in life where they have a healthy net worth,a healthy income and plenty of free time...which would make them prime targets for ads by cruise lines,German car makers and breathtakingly expensive diabetes medications.

But,alas,such advertisers won't be able to reach me because

I WON'T BE WATCHING!

I remember the same thing happening with one of the receivers for the Indianapolis Colts, where the commentator said he was protesting the NA. Didn’t learn til the next day that he was actually in prayer. He was pretty pissed about it too, afterwards.

The tean was disinvited for protesting the reception.

Trump confirmed their nonappearance.

His critics are misrepresting it just as fox misrepresented the kneel.

If the Eagles weren't involved in the controversy because they weren't taking a knee during the Anthem, then why did they pick a fight with the President?

Bunch of morons living in a bubble. Do they really want to kill the golden goose?

Football wasn't always No. 1 and doesn't have to continue to be. Lessee, other major sports that ain't so major? Boxing, horse racing, track and field, tennis. And how about baseball, which used to be the National Pastime?

The picture Fox News showed was of Eagles players kneeling in prayer well before the national anthem - it wasn’t a protest. It misrepresented what they were doing, and the Eagles players had a right to complain about it.

Did they explain Brooks and Jenkins kneeling and raising their Black Power fists during the anthem?

Seems like all networks are refusing to show the time and money these players have given in the off-season to change whatever it is they are kneeling for. I’m sure these players are putting in lots of effort and personal money for training, educating, understanding, and implementing change.

It would be silly to say something is VERY IMPORTANT to you then simply kneel for a few minutes when it’s convenient and to not use the fame and fortune the NFL provides them to do something about that VERY IMPORTANT cause. So I’m sure all the racist networks are just ignoring their efforts. /sarc

I don’t like the Eagles for most not being willing to show up at the WH, but this is sloppy of Fox.

CBS calls Trump honoring out country and troops “ A FUMBLE”. I noticed they interviewed a Vietnam vet, he said he felt kneeling would be his right if he wanted. I agree it is his right and anyone else’s. However if is my right as a retired vet to be discussed by this action. But, I was brought up that there is a correct place and time for your actions. In my opinion not the right time or place. I served for that right and I didn’t get paid millions for it.

This actually points out how feckless this symbolic protest is.

Generally kneeling means one is submitting to something. Prayerful kneeling is bowing before God. One could view kneeling at the anthem as offering the ultimate bow and honor to the flag. Hence was this idea of Kaepernick’s weird.

Per player, the NFL probably has the stupidest players. Their last two NFLPA reps, Gene Upshaw and DeMaurice Smith, were both Poodles for the Commissioner, who's a lackey for the owners.

While I truly believe Roger Goodell is an anti-American, flagburning, baby-killing, gun-grabbing Progladyke, he's controlled by the owners who loathe America as much as the players look like they do (Most NFL players are functionally retarded, so they just do what their handlers tell them to do)...and, yes, I'm looking at you Jerry Jones.

Jerry Jones is a closet flagburner. He could've gone to Vietnam and fought just like my dad, but instead he stayed at home and dodged the draft...Jerry "Fonda" Jones got his riches while thousands of Americans died in Southeast Asia.
