The posturing, the sitting and the never-ending kneelings from football players, whining and crying about our President, Donald Trump, who is rightfully tweeting about their disrespecting our anthem is really annoying.

They and their supporters are too stupid, ignorant or uneducated to know that this country was founded on freedom and respect.

And if they and their dumb ass supporters and little dumb jerk poor boys don't like it, then they should push for an amendment to end all types of dissent that they don't like.

But short of that, the football players and the idiots should STFU

Let's look at the reality of our history. The fact is that the large majority of our population is very tolerant. One could say too tolerant to a flaw and that is a major reason the libprogs have gotten to where they are today.

The average person has opinions of course, and will provide them if asked, but usually prefers to keep quiet about them for two major reasons. One being no one likes having someone ram their opinions at another and don't want to be seen as that type. The other is that the average person knows what they think and why, ut feels that arguing about it and being forced to defend their position is distasteful.

Oh, on some issues, a person will find it easier to be vocal but generally unless the issue is extreme and passion generating they keep pretty quiet.

Now we have extremely wealthy athletes dishonoring our national flag and anthem. They say that isn't their objective. Their opinion is irrelevant. It is how their action is taken that is pertinent.

Strike 1.

Sports are entertainments. Watching high paid participants behave as they are is not entertaining.

Strike 2.

Now the NFL under Goodall has decided to back the dishonoring of our national emblems and attack our president.

Strike 3.

If the NFL doesn't come to its senses, and soon, the average tolerant quiet person will have the impetus to act. It has begun already with ticket sales etc down markedly. If the NFL persists in creating this scenario of the NFL vs America, the NFL will have committed financial suicide.

Now we see it begin to spread to MLBB. America's pastime.

The tolerance of America is being tested. What we are seeing is graphic evidence that grown men who are paid large sums of money for playing games, somewhere have lost their common sense.

I hope they regain it before the point of no return.

It is not a wise choice to spit on the hand that feeds you.

If Trump were to force the issue this could have a very negative backlash on the NFL. The NFL is currently exempt from antitrust laws — an exemption that has been challenged numerous times in recent years — and their growing political protests could see the exemption stripped once and for all, putting an end to the monopoly that has yielded them billions of dollars annually.

Our 'National Anthem' and our 'American Flag' are much more important than infantile privileged overpaid brats, whiners, and crybabies and the game they play that is there sole support. When the people who love America understand this, they will quit supporting the NFL, or allow this antipatriotism to destroy the patriotism in generations to come. It's our choice, and complacency is it's own act of acceptance, so do what you will, you are shaping the young minds of those who it will be depended on in the future to defend this once great nation and it's people, from all those who wish to destroy it and us, by taking a knee and destroying the respect of what patriots should hold dear.

This is happening on purpose. You see, NFL football unfortunately is one the pillars that hold OUR country's society together, that and BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, HOCKEY, ETC.
Sports, bread, circuses, MOM, apple pie, the girl next store, fast cars, rodeo, Norman Rockwell. REAL America with real people is what we used to want; NOT swamp creatures.

This is happening now as a coordinated attack on Conservative American values of the Republic with a BLACKhole shadow empire vacuuming our established morals, ethics and decency. All being sucked down into a HI-TEK memory hole to be deleted a few generations from yesterday's. The POINT SINGULARITY seems to be upon US. According to THEIR own SCRIPTures, the World is SCHEDULED for a RESET of EPOCH proportions.
