Too late. They didn’t give a damn about our flag or our country, but they ARE concerned about losing money. Too bad.

Yes!!!

They are doing this reluctantly because it’s costing them money.

Not because they are sincere, and love this country.

Sorry NFL too late.

I see them announcing “strong encouragement” to stand (and link arms if desired) for the anthem while respecting players’ First Amendment “rights” that “forces” no one to do anything, and an approving (or disapproving) quote from Cupcake Kaepernick’s BLM manager.

They will then claim victory and bash Trump.

And, this was THE take-away from this whole debacle. How blacks in this country truly feel about the country -- and its people.

Sorry, NFL, but I don't think you can walk this back. When the mask comes off, it is impossible to convince people that they weren't seeing the true face.

Yep, go to another country and try, just try, to make a living, a good living, a living that makes you a millionaire, in that country. Can't be done. So, do you really think there is another profession/job that you could do that would pay you so well with so many benefits???

I know these guys are not all that intellectual; but, I would have thought that they could have connected their salaries, with the people in the stands and watching on telelvision. Unfortunately, for them, that does not seem to be the case. They insult the country, the flag, it's citizens, and they still think they can demand the big bucks? Children.
