    Bottom line: don't believe a word the NFL says. They're out for the moneyed interest of the owners and damn the truth.

    Let's be real real about 1 thing here. Most of current kneelers are protesting Trump, not the vaguely defined racial injustice.

    SEEN ON FACEBOOK: “The NFL’s ratings are dropping faster than Bill Clinton’s pants in a trailer park.”

    Watching healthy young men inflict chronic traumatic encephalopathy on one another may be one of America's cherished pastimes, but it's encouraging to see social consciousness take precedent over profit.

    Angry, hyper-partisan, authoritarian White guys demand a lock-step conformity from their entertainers in their rituals. If the pre-game song had traditionally been acknowledged by a reverent communal genuflection, they would enthusiastically approve of the gesture. It is the non-conformity of the observance that has them in a tizzy.

    In any event, their insistence that, in America, a peaceful exercise of free expression should be vanquished by corporate greed reveals curious priorities.

    Of course, given the rapaciousness and concomitant image-manipulation obsession of the National Football League, the fact that moral consciousness has trumped avarice is a pleasant surprise. Concerning Trump's hysterics over the matter, Firehouse Strategies, a GOP firm, concludes from new polling: "[V]oters overwhelmingly (64%) say that the President should focus on other issues."

    He'll need to contrive better petty diversions very, very soon.

    You're exactly right, but I didn't think that was a secret?

    This may be true but it still paints the same disrespectful picture. Protesting against President Trump was obviously considered more important than respecting the Nations Anthem.

    It's offensive to many.

    And calling NFL players "Sons of Bitches" was more important to our POTUS than the 3,000,000 Americans without power in Puerto Rico.

    And I bet you still scratch your head wondering why half the Country despises the man.

    So you want thousands of young black men to stay poor instead of taking known risks which will undoubtedly improve their lives?

    The PotUS can only do one thing at a time now? Gee when Obama was in office you guys were constantly reminding us how the job was that of a Multitasker. Half the country can despise him as you say, but the other half likes him it seems.

    The Man won on a message of nationalism and Populism...what kind of fool thinks after seeing that, that this is the time to start disrespecting your Nation??


    Displays like the NFL, and posts like yours illustrate just how out of touch "half the Country" really is. No wonder you lost the election.

    The Man won because Democrat voter turnout was lower than the last 2 elections. If you really think he won because his message resonated with the Country, than I need to introduce you to my Wife, Scarlett Johansson. She is an expert in all thing elections related.

    Displays like the NFL mean nothing to people like me. If I am there, I stand, but I don't care if you stand, sit, kneel, take a **** while the National Anthem is being sung. I didn't pay my hard earned money to watch everyone stand for our national anthem. I paid to watch a sporting event. Nothing more. When the players decide to not play the game, then I will be angry.

    Kinda the same way it annoys me to be behind somebody that can't drive for ****. Idiots are annoying. Entitled elitist idiots are the worst.

    At the end of the day the POTUS will still be there, the NFL may look dramatically different. Good Luck with that Wally.

    Nope, the NFL is just fine. The league will far outlast the current piece of sh1t in the WH.

    I never said they wouldn't, just their salaries will likely look drastically different.

    They have had their worst week in 11 years.

    And this right there shows you have absolutely no point, are simply trying to stir up trouble and tell things that are not true to posters to get a rile up out of them with stupid memes, pictures and slogans.

    Pretty pathetic, but the NFL is going to tank, want to make a SIG bet based on this time next year?
