Jerry Jones and the entire Cowboys team take the knee

I mean, it kind of sounds like you might cry.

Do you see any irony at all in your stance on this, after months of "snowflakes" and "PC" and all of that? Are you really super crazy offended?

Excellent point....why doesn't trump applaud the anti pc athletes?

QB play in the league is awful - particularly backup QB play. If Kaep didn't protest, he has a job in minutes.

Which is why Trump's words were all the more mystifying, and those who say "the NFL brought this on themselves." They were intentionally steering clear of Kaep.

and no NFL team supports Kapernick, which is what we have seen since teams have been assembling rosters,

so which is it, I'm confused?

Incorrect. As the season progressed, we saw athletes taking a knee in support of Kap. Then trump took to using his tiny hands to weigh in on Twitter.
 
As a side note, most NFL owners don't pay taxes.

That's why most are racist right wing republicans and support dump.

Imagine the revenue we could collect as country if religion and big corporations paid taxes.
 
Trump Says NFL Ratings Are ‘Way Down’ Because Of Protests. They’re Actually Up.
More people are watching top NFL games than ever watched “The Apprentice.”

Not only are ratings for NFL games not “way down” as Trump claimed on Twitter early Tuesday, they’re actually up.

The weekend’s NFL ratings were 3 percent higher overall than for the same weekend last year, a league spokesman told HuffPost Tuesday. And ESPN’s Monday night game was up 63 percent, compared with the Monday game at this time last year.

NFL games constituted seven of the top 10 most-watched TV broadcasts this week, with football sweeping the top five most-watched shows, outranking even the Emmy Awards, in ninth place.

This week’s most-watched show, Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys, raked in 25.96 million viewers.

As far as the flag is concerned this is what Kaepernick said:

Colin Kaepernick: I won't stand 'to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people'

This is the issue.

Jones won't disrupt this by taking a knee during the anthem.

I won't give kudos to team owners who don't support Kaepernick.

Sure, the flag is so sacrosanct that some wear it to cover their ass.

So, which Kap defenders will step up and defend that statement? Does the Steelers organization stand behind it? The Cowboys?

Those who defend his statement are taking a knee DURING THE ANTHEM.........all others are supporting the oppression of Blacks to save face for the flag.....and grandstanding.

Not sure why I hear him covering this gem from our past...but I can see it.



The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers in the instant replay
There will be no pictures of young being
Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of
Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a red, black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and
Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant
and Women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised

Thank you. :0)

Listen Thingy Wingy, I don't care how much they make. Just saying, when you look a gift horse in the mouth, you get what you deserve.

Instead of valuing their good fortune in making millions doing a task which doesn't require a brain is their problem.

Clearly the stereotype of the dumb, brainless athlete is spot on. If people were paying me millions to do that, the last thing I'd do is shit on their flag and country. Dumb! LOL!

Freudian slip?

It's their business, not their country. A business that affords them the privilege of not paying taxes on billions of dollars they make. In fact, what exactly do they contribute to society besides entertainment?

Extremely lucrative employment for thousands of gifted athletes who might not enjoy such prosperity otherwise?
