Kneeling? Raised Fists? In Locker Room? No News!!
self ^ | 8/27/18 | self

Posted on 08/27/2018 11:32:18 AM PDT by Hennible Cobb

Once again, the news -- national, local, TV, newspaper, radio -- is totally devoid of any mention of NFL protests during yesterday's games.

As I pointed out last week, this is overt propaganda by omission. The drivebys understand painful reality. If they publicize such sorry behaviour, it undermines political correctness. And it means fewer votes for progressives.

I defy any Freeper to come up with any story, pro or con, regarding player protests yesterday.

Not there.

We should be able to hit the Freeper coconut telegraph to tell us whether they were protesting last weekend from Freepers going to games.

Because they (the Democrats) already control the NFL and are funneling millions to leftist causes. Publicizing this helps Trump.

Not to mention the prominent story about NFL players standing to honor McCain all over the place yesterday...

Nobody has "freedom of speech" on COMPANY TIME!!!!

And, the clowns who pretend to sustain the protest in the tunnel or the locker room are cowards, trying to have it both ways.

Do it on your own time or find a sponsor for your act.

The “flip side” of “Freedom of Speech”, is the “Freedom to listen, or not”.

There is NO SPEECH that matters if it is ignored, or countered with other “free speech”.

If your “free speech” is ignored, it’s as pointless as going to Death Valley in the heat of summer and complaining about the heat.

IF no one cares what you’re saying, even if you have the complete freedom to say it, it is of no consequence.

Who’s listening?

I've seen no mention of player protests because I've seen no mention of the NFL, period.

Even here in the New York City metro area I couldn't even tell you who won the Giants-Jets preseason game.

Well they want attention. If they don’t get it perhaps they will get back to work.

Have watched zero NFL activity this year. Don’t intend to.

The NFL and Roger Goodell

Go to Hell.

I sure hope that no FReepers watched the NFL yesterday, and that no FReepers watch the NFL until they start firing some of these overpaid assholes for disrespecting the USA!

My guess is that one or two firings will be enough!

As to no National Anthem being televised at the start of the games, a total boycott of the networks involved is my game plan!

Good. If no attention is paid it will die a lingering death.

College football fan here. Never cared much for the NFL since I grew up in Alabama where college football is second only to God. Well maybe third to only God and that other activity God set up when he made Adam male and Eve female. :)

Don’t ban the NFL, conservatives. You’re falling for a media trap. Remember when the leftists were intent on banning the NFL and you told them no way? So they changed tactics and started highlighting the few NFL protestors to make you hate the NFL. If I was an NFL fan I’d go to the games and all. And I’d sing the national anthem so loudly they could hear me from midfield. And what few NFL players “protested” with their anti-white folks protest, I’d boo even when they’re getting a touchdown for my favorite team.

As it is, you NFL fans who love God and country are falling for a trap the leftists built to make you hate something they were trying to ban to begin with.

It won’t make news. Covering the locker room for kneeing is like sending the Goodyear blimp to a domed stadium. Great shot of the walls. But no shots of the interior. I guess it’s the thought that counts. (Or doesn’t in this case)

I could care less, if they all came out tomorrow and stood it wouldn’t matter to me. I know the players and the owners hate the country and the fans and are quite comfortable with their FU to US. FU right back to them!

I am awaiting the beginning of college football, that is my football hit, every Saturday.

Not yesterday but Saturday night. Two kneelers, both Dolphins. https://www.collegian.psu.edu/opinion/columnists/article_39197510-a999-11e8-a3c3-f350cc245e44.html.

Kneeling is not a big deal to the msm. Lowering the flag at the w.h. is.

The MSM wants to run the country. They will tell us what to think and when to think about any subject. The advertisers target the left wing crowd.
