Absolutely Love It. History will look back greatly on these moments. Remember Owens and the other black men that protested at the Olympics? They were hated, reviled and dealing with the same type of mentality that JJ and others have posted in this thread. Now they are considered champions of human rights.

Let me make this simple for you simpletons.

1. The anthem has NOTHING to do with the troops...nothing.

2. Taking a silent knee is a sign of REPSECTFUL , non-violent dissent in American culture and history, as well as around the world.

3. The NFL PAYS teams to perform the national anthem. Yes , you read that right. It's paid patriotism. Millions upon Millions.


Why doesn't Jerry/other owners donate that money to wounded veterans, or homeless veterans, or families of the dead?

You guys really need to think about what's actually going on here before being so reactionary and angry
