Are we surprised football players don't know their history? I guess they forgot the part where whites and blacks fought together in the Civil War. Or maybe they forgot whites and blacks marched with King and sat in lunch counters where customers would pour food on them right before getting arrested. Yeah let's throw all that progress out so we can have 2 national anthems. If blacks make up 12% of the population and hispanics make up 20% should they have an anthem too? I'm sure KING would be happy that blacks are being segregated again. What a joke the NFL and it's players have become.
It’s not ok for law enforcement to not be corrected. But it’s also not wholesome to reject the Entire country with a verve of total distain , entraining children insidiously against the
very core foundations that afford inclusive shift for all to embrace. Adults in charge are not committed to harmony first!
It all smells like exactly the opposite. With cortisol administrations as the wishful end result. Ha. Really boys and girls. Really. Wheres the dream?
If a known athlete from USA turns a back on our nations flag or takes a knee.
It's not like they changed their minds about Country Liberty and Freedoms of citizenship.
They never were inspirited Americans for the highest good of all consents of constitution and inscriptions of liberty for all.
They are actually being flushed out as the tenders of social damages against all races and creeds.
I’m grateful and glad to see them. Please let them all be known to the world.
It's fine with me.
I appreciate them identifying themselves for all our countrymen's
Future considerations.
As surety where placing our children's hearts and minds in the hands of integral Adults in charge in all areas of administration . It’s a good thing.
I thank them for identifying themselves out loud for this world of ours to remember and record.

This guy should be extradited out of this country me and all of my friends have not watch football for I guess two years since that Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem disrespecting our country everybody quit watching football that is condoning and disrespect our national anthem and all Americans quit watching NFL go to boxing it's 10 times better anyway boxing is not a game like football Rocky Esterline ex-pro boxer founder of boxing vs UFC best fight predictor of all times !!!!!!!!!
Clowns don't want to honor flag or anthem then they can just leave the country in my opinion
Nothing is More Anti-American that taking a knee, turning your back or raising your fist when our National Anthem is played before a sports game.
Google: Mariners put a lot of thought into National Anthem decision
The BLM/ANTIFA Democrat party is behind the disrespect for our National Anthem. Why? The answer is easy.
The BLM wants to destroy America.
"The goal of socialism is communism." – Vladimir Lenin
Google: BLM co-founder admits they’re “trained Marxists” who want Trump out of office
"Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors leaves no doubt about the group’s underlying ideology as she proudly proclaims: “We’re trained Marxists.”
Google: What is another word for Marxist?
Marxist: Noun. A person who supports or believes in the principles of communism.
"BLM, you killed 8-year-old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta. She didn't do nothing to nobody." Who is speaking for her or the other 8,000 Black men, women and children who are murdered in Democrat run cities?
It sure isn’t the BLM run Democrat party.
Where is KING Obama, Moochelle, Al Sharpton, Reverend Wright, Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, Jesse Jackson, AOC and so on? Democrat politicians only pretend to care about Black people when it is election year.
If the BLM wanted to make a DIFFERENCE in the violence against BLACKS, they would STOP killing 8,000 of their own Black men, women and children each year, but they say and do NOTHING!
Isn't it IRONIC that when someone who loves America wears a MADA t-shirt or ball cap, exercising their 1st Amendment right, that they are attacked by several BLM/Antifa thugs?
Why won't Kaepernick take some of his MILLIONS of dollars and go to Democrat cities and take a knee against Blacks murdering other Blacks if he cares about violence against the Black race?
America is waiting for his answer.
Isn't it IRONIC that when someone who loves America wears a MADA t-shirt or ball cap, exercising their 1st Amendment right, that they are attacked by several BLM/Antifa thugs?
Raise a fist now too? Sinister.
Are they taking the money as well?
I knew it all along…real men Stand for something. Hey, can my daughter try out? She has more heart!
Let's fast forward to 2020.
Multiple cities with rioters and protesters… when kneeling wasn't enough.
RIP George Floyd.
How disrespectful.
In middle school. They made me get up… it’s a free country we should be able to take a knee, stand or sit after all it’s a free country isn’t it ?🤦♂️
I'm Australian I understand why these players are kneeling, when black people get the respect and treatment as white American's then I'm guessing they will stand in respect to the American flag that has looked after them, since afro Americans aren't being treated as equals. Well it guess this is showing Americans something needs to change. I don't know the whole story but I've heard of many horror stories relating to black people in the US, just an outlook on how people outside the US, view the US
How dare you
I like the Confederate flag in the South but if I like that. Consider races
can't do that in hockey folks, you do that, you're out of the game. Why isn't the same in the NFL?
Y'all do notice that kneeling has nothing to do with the flag or the veterans, it's about police brutality . Saying " well it's still automatically disrespectful" is like you having an opinion and your mom calling it disrespectful.
Your in deep shit Coljn.Papa John is pissed.I don't see a happy ending for you!Watch your back,he's still out there.YOU MADE A HUGE MISTAKE!!
Omg why are white Americans so racist? I actually can't believe what I'm reading here in the comment section. You know what? Fuck America! Make America Great again? You fucking morons were never great. Just a shithole full of racist! I hope Trump will be elected again and again so I can witness how much worse America can get. People living like in a third world country but believe they've it better than in Africa. You don't know shit! People in Africa have it better than you racists!
ESPN…we want our fans to be separate from politics, unequal
and uninformed…thank you very much…
I strongly disagree with them, but if you won't do what you believe in because of what OTHERS think of you, then you're a pussy. Good for these guys for fighting for what they believe in. I don't care if they ARE uneducated, stupid, whatever. They're still people and they are choosing to use their individual agency to push for what they believe in. Good for them. Anybody who wouldn't fight for what they believe in… those are the ones I can't respect.
I want to commend these brave, courageous players….who STOOD for their national anthem.
When NFL players decided to take a knee during the National Anthem me and some friends of mine took a knee in support of them. We will not buy any of their gear, not pay for any NFL event, or any extra for a "TV Package". How do you like us veterans now you ungrateful, uneducated, over paid jerks!!!!
Police brutality; while, it is uncalled for, and not acceptable has nothing to do with respecting the flag of the United States of America. You stupid liberals say not to paint with a wide brush, but this is the widest brush painting I have ever seen. Disrespecting the American flag, and all who have fought and died for this country!!! Oh so you see a white cop beat up a black man, and you connect that directly to the American flag? Talk about stereotyping!!! But the liberals will say this is okay because they are "sharing their feelings". Well I share my feelings towards them in this way…"Woe unto you that you would disrespect the war hero that gave his life so you could have the opportunity to make millions of dollars to play a game; while, his war brother is homeless on streets of New York. Woe unto you when you stand before God almighty and his righteous judgement is brought upon you". For as Jesus has said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I pray that in some way you may be reached by a Jesus loving christian that will share the gospel with you, and you will be saved. Believe this with all your heart – John @ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". Jesus saith unto you, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Hahahah go fuck ur self America your sport is only a big show
This is old news BUT there is something I wanted to say. This dumbass who started this whole protest shit was I guess protesting for Black rights and for how they get treated. Fine. That is fine. BUT the only issue I have with that is A, you are disrespecting not only your own country but also the men and women (this also includes black people) who are fighting to keep YOU safe everyday so YOU can play football. Alright and B, he did this while, and I cannot express this enough, he was a black man playing in a game dominated by black men and could not…..I do not know…..maybe start some kinda charity? Maybe do a different kind of protest? The whole thing to me was a complete and utter waste of fucking time. Like there is no reason and the fact that some teams actually supported this and would fine players who refused and would stand is downright fucking nasty. Fuck this guy honestly.
I’m British. And when I hear the US national anthem I stand and place my hand on my heart out of respect.
So Americans. you must be really dumb to let people dis-respect the anthem and flag? So if my eggs are bad at the Kwik-E I go and protest the flag or Anthem? what fucking morons USA
