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

The Olympics was a world wide sporting contest in another time. Long before the internet. For fukk sakes, you have council people kneeling now. Kids in their living room watching the game kneeling. It idiotic. Most haven't a clue. They are just desperate to be part of something.

Some race baiting pig from BLM says so? Cops killing blacks? Please! Cops kill more Whites than other color. Where are the protests? LOL. Blacks killing blacks is huge problem but no one seems to care. Why? Because they rather push a false narrative. Race baiting and divisiveness grabs more attention from unhinged liberals and the MSM. They are allergic to facts. Allergic to reality.

It has everything to do with respect. Everything. Fans don't want to see these millionaire losers put themselves ahead of the game. They are there to escape politics and all the other shit in their lives and watch a game. If you can't wrap your head around that, then its hopeless.
