    It’s all about the ratings.

    NEW YORK (World News Bureau) –


    In a recent polling of 585 NFL players, nearly all of them were unsure of exactly what they were protesting. Here's a sampling of responses to the question: "What are you protesting by kneeling during the National Anthem?"


    "Pretty sure it's against Nazis - especially the white ones."


    "We're protesting America becoming capitalistic instead of equal."


    "I'm protesting against Trump saying black lives don't matter."


    "We're against global warming and the police.."


    "We're showing the world that we care about, ah, things such as... such as...ah, freedom from suppression?"


    "Me and my fellow players are protesting the Constitution of Independence because of what it does to people of color."


    "We are displaying our right to stand up by kneeling for our beliefs."



    "We are protesting Trump, because he, you know, keeping the black man down."


    "Myself is kneeling to show that just because I'm American don't mean I got to act like one."


    (All above comments are from National Football League players with 4 years of an American College “Education”.

    Average player salary $1,900,000.

    Thanks for sharing that slewfooter. I want to say how much I should laugh, but its incredibly sad. These are the people that have lots of the wealth in our country too. There are many well-educated people that can't pay their rent.....

    I wonder if this soundbite is legitimate.

    Cursory research shows that it might be but all it takes is for one survey misinterpretation to get carried by multiple frigne outlets.

    Which might be what we have here.

    Might be.

    Then again, it could be legit.

    Give them a mic. You'll hear no coherent words coming out of their mouths.

    They may as well be headless chickens running in circles in the streets.

    I hope people know this isn’t a real news source.
