    More than likely, it is about the money and less about the ad being a political statement.

    But there is no soft and gentle way to put this Steve, but you need to get over this. Continuing to be outraged over something so minuscule is not just embarrassing yourself, it’s embarrassing your party. This needs to be said over and over, while slapping you in the face over and over (every conservative for that matter) until this simple message is burned in your mind.

    Kneeling doesn’t disrespect America.

    Not the sharpest tool in the shed, ted.

    So you claim to be ignorant of the political issues associated with this. Wow. Why do you even have opinions?

    Great decision by the NFL to refuse such an obviously "Political Ad".

    I actually find it hard to believe that any self-respecting American would be proud to stand for an anthem of a country tha has a constitution that would facilitate the election of an UNPREPARED RACIST MISOGYNIST IMBECILE (like Trump).

    It is a blessing that Flag-Burning is "protected speech".

    Any country that would elect a MORON (like Trump) doesn't deserve to have it's flag respected.

    Period. Case closed. :salute:

    Disrespecting the Anthem? :roflol:

    Nobody Cares. :bored:

    As much as your side likes to claim that Democrats hate the national anthem, that's a whole lot of talking out of both sides of your mouth. You Republicans love to lay claim to the Constitution, America, the flag, and the military and your ad nauseam argument is that Democrats hate all of these

    You also like to lay claim to whiteness because, you know, Democrats hate whites, which means they hate themselves, so Republicans have a monopoly on whiteness. :roll:

    Something tells me that the second statement is the only one that will draw your attention.

    Isn't kneeling during the anthem a political statement?
