    Not sure what constitutes a conspiracy past once is an accident, twice is a coincidence & there are no coincidences......
    but Trump tongue lashing those that don't stand for the anthem is about as ridiculous as Kaepernick taking a knee in that American tradition of the Bush administration taking a knee to Islam for 9/11 & then doing a patriot act for ethnic cleansing.

    They cared enough to make a thread about it, which means they were looking for a reason to be mad.

    Oh assuming now?....looks like some cared about football some don't. Some cared about the kneeling issue some don't. Those that don't really care about the issue at all......well, I don't see them in here.

    Only to comment on how pathetic and contrived the right wing stance is on this subject.

    Paid-for-Patriotism. Love it when the right wing shows the hypocritical nature of their true colors.

    Awww but you love those that disrespect the Flag and Anthem. But don't call them Hypocrites for saying they love their country and fellow man.

    And I love it when the leftists show just how much their smart powers.....just aint there.

    In case you missed it, it's not disrespectful to kneel to the flag/anthem. That's a false construct from a bunch of butthurt hypocrites who sit on their asses at home drinking swill beer and eating Cheetos while claiming some faux moral high ground.

    Smart powers? What was smart was leaving a little cared for controversy to die a natural death, not injecting your Orangeness' opinion into the business of a private corporation and their rules.

    You people are all the same. Sit and drink your swill, eat your fried corn garbage and try to dictate what patriotism looks like while wiping the grease from your chins.

    Losing 30% of revenue? You guys and your fake news, you're hilarious. NFL revenue will set a new record for the 2017 season, as it has every previous year.

    2014 - $11.09 billion
    2015 - $12.16 billion
    2016- $13.16 billion
    2017 - estimate > $14.0 billion. We should know the real number later this month.

    Did you NFL haters not hear about the big deal with FOX last week for Thursday night football? Five years at an estimated $3 to $3.3 billion dollars. (11 games per year at approximately $55 to $60 million per game). To put this in perspective, this is what the networks paid for the previous 4 years of Thursday night football:

    2016 & 2017 - $45 million per game
    2014 & 2015 - $37.5 million per game

    Hell, I'd say NFL revenue is doing just fine. As for TV ratings, yes, there is a hit but then again, traditional TV ratings are taking hits everywhere. There are no more valuable properties for TV than sports. And yet NFL revenue keeps going up. Nothing lasts for ever but I'd say the NFL is a damn good money bet......

    Edited to add - just a great, great game last night.

    Imagine that... I guess when you throw enough dollar signs at someone's face, they'll denounce that "equal rights" and "racism" real quick. If those doods were for real then no amount of money would have kept them from kneeling. Cowards.

    There are a whole bunch of veterans that puts that stupid **** in the real context that is.

    What you were unable to figure out was those that brought their tissue issues into their professional world. Thinking they can push their tissue issues off on others.

    You people huh....let me know when you ever put your ass on the line for this country and bleed for it. Left pieces of yourself in another country. Until then your nothing more than a waste of space.

    *you're.

    Actually, as far as veterans go, there are quite a few of them disagreeing with you and yours.

    Go on, keep drinking that swill and eating the Cheetos. It'll all be better.

    And, please do continue with the personal insults.

    Let the hatred flow through you.

    America seems to be fine with or without this. This is the equivalent of writing a story of "no one called Africa a shithole today."

    A very tiny minority does not make a majority.....does it?

    You people isn't that what you said. So don't whine when you bring some insult. You get what you give.

    Yep, patriots for grabbing money and nothing else. It's a damn shame that they could be bought off like that, but I'm not surprised in the least as I already knew they didn't care about the poor black man or blacks in general.

    That's why you're not a lib... That whole Charlottesville incident never would have happened if a certain group of people didn't feel like they had to insert their opinion into everything they disagree with.

    Whats even funnier.....is that their tissues existed when BO the Peep their Special Man was running the show. Why didn't they kneel? Why didn't they make that an issue then.

    To make it even worse.....the left didn't care for Bush Jr. Their tissue issues were there. Why didn't they kneel?

    So really....it was about the left bringing disrespect in any ways they can.
