We watched the entire rally as well. No kneeling at Trump rallies.
What's this thing called 'NFL'??
The thing that turns me off is that there is absolutely no self-policing. You can do a swishy celebration dance or chest slapping display after a meaningless play and nothing will happen, the players don’t care about that crap or the actual rules of the modern era sport don’t allow men who actually do care to do anything about it. Garbage.

There was such an easy out for this.
It was work time. The players are there being paid and they working for the owners. That’s all the owners had to say.
Instead then owner’s family jewels crawled up their insides to their tonsils, and they started talking two octives higher as they cow-towed to their jerk players.
This isn’t a big thing, but I’ve always enjoyed the game. It reminded me of a military operation trying to take ground. Some quarterbacks and teams were masterful at it, and it was a pleasure to watch them.
About four years ago the Redskins were getting heat to change their name. Instead they seemed to say screw you, and they didn’t budge an inch. I respected that. During the process I was in a curio shop, and I saw a Redskin pendant. I purchased it to make a small statement in favor of the team name, hoping sales might make a difference.
If it had’t worked, I’d still have the pendant to remember a better time in the U. S.
Now I wouldn’t watch a game if it was on in the room. I just don’t care. The players and their sorry ass pussies who own the team, and the NFL leadership, and ESPN, have completely destroyed the game for me.
It used to be a way to relax, enjoy an afternoon or evening with the boys. Now it’s an afternoon or evening with Leftist radicals who have no idea how life works.
If they tried real hard, they would know why more officers are in the Black communities. They would know why those officers take no guff. They would realize that black gangs and Hispanic gangs bring trouble to their community, and to themselves.
Instead they blame it on police officers who would gladly sit in the police stations of America, if there was no crime.
Duh.
I sill say...

The trend in the big three pro-sports is to make it easier to score. Because modern casual fans don’t grasp the enjoyment of watching well played defense, and they want the biggest audience. If it isn’t scoring, it’s boring to them— nothing exciting is happening for them. Both NFL and NBA have the offense in control of the ball, and it looks like someone is being mugged if they play well played defense to a casual fan. MLB is lucky that the defense having control of the ball looks good.

Why watch a bunch of steroid-enhanced people beating each other up? I was busy watching a “Last Man Standing” marathon on TV. Much better entertainment!
I was leading into talk of the pendant I purchased when I made this comment.

More words were added between "...isn't a big thing..." and the mention of the purchase of the pendant, making it seem like this phrase was addressing the kneelers. It wasn't.
It was meant to address the purchase of the pendant.
THe Hill called Kraperneck a “free agent”. Those who live in really call him “unemployed”.
There is a difference between slanted news and real news. Someday The Hill might learn what it is.
That's what I've always thought even when I used to watch. Another team offers a player a dollar more and off they go...
I wouldn’t know
NIKE-enough said.
won’t matter to me.
they do not exst in my world anymore.
Too little, too late. I will never watch an nfl game again.
The NFL is damaged goods in so many ways. Its a horrible product that gets worse ever year.
Correct!
I have NO interest whatsoever!
What’s wrong with them? are they trying to make the other players look bad? The Players Association will have to have a talk with them!
I heard a rumor that one team won and the other lost.
My guess is they lost viewers after that Niki ad aired... regardless of kneeling by players, NFL is just dumb
A lot of the NFL player have contracts with NIKE. Kneeling now can cost them their own money so they don’t want to kneel anymore.
I only watch the Eagles.
