kimber Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Seriously? That what the POTUS should be concerned with at this time? Maybe N Korea, the Health care plan and tax reform might be a little more important? Stay on the golf course where you can do ,less damage.

sportsexpert Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Trump is a pure joke. Trump makes bad situations worse. Now the kneeling for the anthem is against police discrimination and against Trump. Remember the rough them up comment Trump made to the police? Pure joke.

ginger Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Do they want to play football or do they want to play politics? I KNOW! Let's ask Cam Newton about the best chance he had to help his team get the Vince Lombardi Trophy? How'd that work out for him? Let me find that thread.

M_Sable Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Many years ago during the Vietnam War, I decided to sit during the Pledge of Allegiance, in protest at Homer Brink School. My teacher ignored it, but pulled me aside after class and asked what that was all about. I explained my reasons. He corrected me, gently. The Pledge of Allegiance is not a snapshot of what exists...it is an ideal that we should aspire to. We are human, and not perfect. I will proudly say the Pledge even if things are bad, to try and be better. The NFL folks have every right to choose what they do, but I think that it is divisive and misguided. I have spent a lot of time in the last few years overseas in foreign countries...we are blessed and don't even know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sad. I'd rather watch this than the last 2 minutes of the game that's on now. Those boys think they're making history, they aren't. Nobody will remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19April1775 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Now that more details are rolling out it is being reported that a WHOPPING <sarcasm> 12% of NFL players actually took a knee or sat. 3 teams elected to not leave the locker room. When you add those players to the total, only 23% of NFL players shunned the national anthem this Sunday. #Fakenews sure was going out of their way to make it sound league wide. What a joke the left wing is. 23%!! WTF! The democrat party and their minion parties are not dying, they are dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 President Trump says locking arms is ok. It's not to me. Stand at attention with your hand over your heart like you're supposed to. In my own home, if I hear the National Anthem I stop what I'm doing. STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Bluestar Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I keep asking the same question about all this and have yet gotten an answer. If what you're protesting is ONLY about minority injustice regarding the Police then why has there never once(as far as I know) ever been a protest at any Law Enforcement Buildings? Local cops? Federal Buildings? Anything? I love football and anything to do with it but it's just gotten to a point where it's become a sideshow with the "game" actually being the understudy to the whole Circus....who's playing at halftime? Let's do a new sexy intro to SNF or MNF....Superbowl Halftime show? WHO THE FUCK CARES? I tune in to watch the games....NOTHING ELSE. Carrie Underwear can shake her ass all she wants, don't care. Former Crack Dealer and now new Liberal nominee for the President Jay Z is snubbing the Superbowl? WHO THE FUCK CARES? Stick the Iowa Marching Band in there....same thing, you're killing 30 minutes... Keep playing games with the people that support your league. Those who buy your OVERPRICED tickets to your games, 8 dollar hotdogs, 10 dollar beers, 100 dollar jerseys and on and on... I don't know if everyone who says they've already stopped watching NFL games will continue to not watch after this weekends circus show but ratings are down and continuing to fall. So you want to play around with that? Failing ratings will cause advertisers to dump you....add that to empty seats in your stadium and guess what? You're folding....Think I'm wrong? Check out the numbers on now Los Angeles (San Diego) Chargers....barely sold 25,000 seats last week......You're playing with fire....keep supporting these chucks and see where it gets you.

ginger Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 lol...^which reminds me of a story...My first Irish dancing competition...Feis at Yonkers Raceway... 10 o'clock in the morning, I had completely screwed up my reel, missed my cue. The jig competition wasn't until much later in the afternoon. It was sooo hot out and my costume had long sleeves. I did not want to dance, I wanted to go home. One of the girls ahead of me in class gave me a pep talk. I won. First place. I couldn't believe it when I saw my number at the top of the board. And then, they played the National Anthem and of course I stopped. but then something else happened....I found my mother in the crowd to tell her I won. I remember tugging on her sleeve, "mom, mom, I won." but she was ignoring me. I tugged on her sleeve again and she says "SHHHH they're playing the Irish National Anthem." OOPS!

Property & Casualty Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I wonder what the per knee taken cost is, in terms of lost revenue to the league, the networks, the players. It has to be 5 figures. Its even more difficult to assess what its costing the left in terms of votes. I hope they never stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There was an old woman Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The NFL actually has a protocol for the National Anthem.It is to be played before every game Players and coaches must stand at attention Helmet is to be held in their left hand and their right hand is to be placed over their heart. What they are doing should be considered insubordination and they should be fined If they keep it up they should be fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This NFL protest thing is "irrelevant" in the greater schemes of things like Harvey, Peurto Rico destruction, etc. I remember the first time I said the pledge and sang the Anthem and My Country tis of Thee. First grade. On stage, hand over heart. I knew my mother was going to be there to see it but I was surprised to see my father in the audience as well."Dad what are you doing here?" He took a half day off, took 2 trains all the way back to Queens to make sure he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
