Before checking for any video, let me guess.

They are black?

As far as the NFL is concerned, I did a while back.

They just showed two or three New England players raised their closed fist during the Banner.

Aligning themselves with muzzie t-errorist.

I could picture this BS when Roselle was running things.

Kate Upton blasted these players on Twitter:

Now the libtards are going after her. I’ve tweeted my support for her comments.

Surprised Belichek would allow that - if he did.

Besides also Oakland, have any other NFL teams pull this stunt?

You sound like my kind of fan! :-)

This crap is spreading to college football, high school football, and even kid football.

This is more of the fruits of Obama's sick presidency.   Right now, I can't see a way to quickly eradicate this nonsense.   Maybe instead of our National Anthem, they should play "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum!" before each game.

I have less respect for these coaches than I do these idiot players. Can you imagine a Lombardi, or Bear Bryant allowing this kind of crap. They would be protesting from the damn locker room!

Free agency ruined the NFL. They have the attitude that that don’t have to listen to coaches and the coaches have their hands practically tied because they have to play these players making millions of dollars or the owner will flip out.

Regardless of all this, these coaches need to get their balls back from the owners and make their football players understand we’re here to play football not politics. Leave that crap out of this stadium or your ass won’t be here!

It would be teats if the Country turned off the NFL for at least one week.

>> Every Seahawk player and coach stood, arm in arm, for the Anthem.

You seriously believe that was honorable? LOL... that prevented the players from kneeling.

No, not really, but it was better than sitting or kneeling, like the clown dolphin players did.

They were going to all sit, but the ones with the bigger endorsement deals and those who think this protest are BS likely balked and said they were going to stand. Plus the mostly negative feedback they got from the fans prompted them to stand with their arms locked since they wanted unity and not a few malcontents sitting.
