You know what might be a neat idea..see if administration would have a section for the mentally impaired..or maybe they already have a leftist's collum ...he should check..

Why should anyone decide what another man should protest? It is a football field not a cotton plantation. If your concern is black on black violence work to reduce it.

I can see the stadiums are all but empty, looks like the mall during Trumps swearing in. Why kid yourself the NFL is making money hand over fist.

Because they were hired and paid $ to do otherwise.

Have you ever had a job?

Could you stop work and go run around and protest like a fool anytime you wanted to?

Were you allowed to embarrass your company by acting like an idiot while in a company uniform?

If you own an NFL team perhaps you will negotiate a clause in the next contract coercing players to stand for the anthem, if you don’t your opinion is irrelevant. I think it is a pretty good bet you don’t hold season tickets to one of those luxury suites and catch your football from a broke down sofa in a trailer, or a barstool. I am sure that your not buying a Cowboys t shirt at Walmart will bring the players to their knees. Oh wait, that’s what you have your panties in a bunch about in the first place.

The Hillarites never will address black on black violence...just as you show your true racist by shunning a real question on a real black problem...maybe if the ghetto monsters start defecating on the flag...then they would have your support..

As usual, the pink tranny can't see the forest for the trees. It has never been about their right to protest. It is about when and where. They are employed as actors on a stage and the employer can dictate if protests are allowed on their stage. And the customers can decide that they don't want someone's private protest pushed on them, and decide to not attend the games, not watch them on TV, or support their sponsors. And the protest itself is so trivial and misguided as possible.

That's fine. You continue to support them and I'll continue my protesting their protests by refusing to spend one more cent on anything NFL and we'll see what happens.

You obviously do not possess a modicum of understanding of how ridiculous you are.

Pro football is entertainment. It is paid for by fans. Without fans there would be no advertising, no ticket sales, no product sales nor endorsements, no stadiums, no salaries,....nothing. All of that comes from the fans including all broadcast contracts.

Every second they spend on the field is my time. As a fan I pay for it. I do not pay them to high light their personal preferences. That includes what they wear, eat, drive, religious beliefs, political opinions, what they do or do not like about anything. I pay them to play football. That's all. During game time that is what they do. Nothing else.

They have broken their agreement with me to only play football on my time and conduct the rest of their lives on theirs. They have violated my trust and I have fired them.

Currently nearly 70% of America feels as I do and that number is still growing. You will soon see the results in one of two ways. One could be the loss of revenue forcing the NFL to reconsider its position. The other could be the players themselves to reconsider.

Either way this will stop and it is already too late for many people who are done with pro football forever.

Now I suggest you ponder why you support a gaggle of millionaires who think of all possible ways to protest and show their opinions they choose to do so by disrespecting our national flag and anthem during live on field broadcasts. 168 hours in a given week and they choose to deviate from their jobs during the 3 hours they are to be in front of me doing the job I pay them to do in front of me.

Your position is ridiculous, untenable, and is why you are perceived to be a troll.

Docadhoc Loc: Elsewhere

It is not what they protest, it is WHEN they protest.

You are correct. It is a football field. It is not a town hall nor a bully pulput. It is for playing football. Nothing else.

You make my point for me and obviously agree with me.

Tell that to the Dallas Cowboy ownership. His players will either honor our country or wake up playing for the backyard gang in Elephant Butt Montana.

Dumbskittle, it is an NFL league rule that they may not disrespect America during the national anthem.

Just like they are restricted in what they can place on their game uniforms.

Just like they are restricted on what clothing they can wear in the post-game press conference.

I'm guessing this is the first time you've ever actually watched the NFL, hoping to see somebody disrespect America, right? Obviously you don't know much about the league.

Its called "respect". I know thats hard to understand, since you are a Liberal.

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

They ARE disrespecting this country. And they dont to make it "just for all". They areracists that are just upset that cops are shooting blacks who draw guns on them. They just want the cops to take the bullet.

This is all about the black moron who brought racism back, after MLK put an end to it.

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

BS! Their gesture is that cops are racist because they wont allow themselves to be shot by black thugs who pull guns on them.

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

BS! More whites are killed by cops, than blacks by cops. This is from the FBI statistics. SO..it is about black racism.
