NFL Players Kneel, Raise Fists During National Anthem in Preseason Games

It’s not imagination, it’s reality, are you out fighting for Chicago? Do you fight for ever injustice? Do you donate to every cause? Or do you pick a few to concentrate on? There are many causes I support, but I can’t fight them all, not enough time or money.

That's all they have left. "The players aren't sincere."

Kaepernick sacrificed his career and millions of dollars. He now spends all of his time working with organizations dedicated to improving lives for the poor & disadvantaged, to whom he has also donated over $1 million.

What a hypocrite.

Several NFL players raised their fists or took a knee during the national anthem at preseason games on Thursday night, reigniting the social justice protests that provoked the wrath of President Trump last season. Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, who had promised earlier this week that players would soon let their stance be known on a new anthem policy, raised his fist, along with cornerback De'Vante Bausby. Jenkins and other Eagles players wore a T-shirt during pregame warm-ups that read, “More than 60 percent of prison populations are people of color” and “Nearly 5,000 kids are in adult prisons and jails.” Several Miami Dolphins players also joined in the protest, with defensive end Robert Quinn reportedly raising a fist as wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson took a knee.

Patriots stand, blow away kneelers and fist raisers for their treason.

That's the kind of headline I want to see.

it's one of the few times we actually demonstrate we are all Americans -
regardless of the divisions of race, economy, party.

It's not like there aren't 10,000 other ways to protest.

Boring. You don't get to dictate that, & where or when they can protest.

That's your opinion on it. It may not be mine or theirs.

The NFL is privately owned. These brainless goons have only as much 'right' as the owners tolerate.

They have more opposition than support and you know it. Shitting on the flag is not cool and no one IRL will get on board with it. Easy to say it hidden behind a computer screen, but a despicable position to actually own.

If the NFL gets hit in the wallet, it will all end. Guar-on-teed.

If you think the owners are going to crap on their cash cows over the anthem, you're crazy.

of course it's "my opinion". WTF are you saying?
my "opinion" is E Pluribus Unum is all but non-existent in today's society.
We sure as hell don't need no Russians to "sow discord". we do a bang up job ourselves.

So lets just keep this 1 American ceremony for all Americans - their are zillions of ways to protest otherwise

Trump is the most divisive leader we've had. You'd have more credibility if you took him to task more for pitting groups against one another.

It's a friggin' sports game. It's not the "one thing we have." Break out the tissues, snowflake. They can protest whenever they want.

For such a strident Trump critic I would think you’d know him better. Perhaps what you ‘know’ is a caricature.

Trump would like nothing better than to pardon some people on the kneelers behalf. Politically, it would be a deep shot over the center fielders head.

And you know what the dirty little secret is? Well, it’s not a secret actually—they just think it is. The players are more concerned out depriving Trump of political points than getting people pardoned and out of prison.

Let that thought sink in. Have I said I don’t take the kneelers seriously on this page yet? Or was that the last page?

Re: the bolded, you cannot be serious. No doubt some NFLers are trump supporters so why haven't they taken him up on his offer?

The ANTHEM is one of the few remaining we use we have to express a national unity.
It has that value -not the "sports game "

Trump/da resistance / all of that /occupy 99,9% of our time.
Set aside a few moment for E Pluribus Unum.. sometimes we forget we are all in this together for the long run
