Here is some words of wisdom my Grandfather once said...........Ba ck in 1984 when the Detroit Tigers win the World Series , 2nd baseman Lou Whitaker and out fielder Larry Herndon wouldn't stand for the national anthem because they both proclaimed to be Jehovas Witnesses and it was against that religion to acknowledge any type of holidays , birthdays or any anthems that praised our nation.......... Grandad said something to me I never forgot.     He said "if it weren't for what the National Anthem stands for , those guys would still be picking cotton down in Georgia "!     A true genius of a statement .....

Take a look at why Mr. K and others have an individual right, if not obligation, to not stand:

Your grandfather was right to a degree.  In actuality however, had it not been for American nationalism and christianity -on which the anthem is based- black men would have been equal.  Don't choke. 

It doesn't mean some wouldn't have been picking cotton, but right along side of them would have been your grandfather's ancestors.

This video shows the officer more clearly shooting an unarmed man down ... in cold blood.  I would like to think regardless of one's political persuasion, no one can rationally support this.

...... On the other hand there was Pat Tillman - anyone sticking up for this clown should think of that.

Most know Pat Tillman pursued his dream:  have a license to shoot to kill.  It was a game for him.

What about the white cops that were TOTALLY INNOCENT  and killed by moron blacks?
 Just this week a black guy in a car purposely ran over 3 white cops! (in Arizona)


  Should the white players kneel in protest?


BOYCOTT THE NFL UNTIL THEY RESPECT OUR COUNTRY!

Let these protesters visit a VA hospital and see what defending our flag means to those patients.  

So unless you visit a VA hospital, you can't protest? Great logic there, chief.

“I would tell [a player protesting the anthem to] sit inside the clubhouse,” Tony La Russa told “The Dan LeBatard Show.” “You’re not going to be out there representing our team and our organization by disrespecting the flag. No, sir, I would not allow it. … If you want to make your statement you make it in the clubhouse, but not out there, you’re not going to show it that way publicly and disrespectfully.”

Iowa congressman Steve King went after Colin Kaepernick on Tuesday by claiming the San Francisco 49ers quarterback's activism is "sympathetic" to ISIS.

"I understand that he has an Islamic girlfriend that is his fiancée, and that this has changed him and has taken on some different political views along the way," he told Newsmax TV's Steve Malzberg. "This is activism that's sympathetic to ISIS."

Steve King is an imbecile.

Your grandad sounded like an uneducated dolt. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I'm boycotting everything NFL or NFL sponsored, too. There is a facebook site for this under Boycott NFL 2016. If enough people boycott then we'll see a change happen fast. Hit the NFL in the wallet and let's see if they still allow this hypocritical "freedom of expression".

Is it time for Roger Goodell and the NFL to hit the panic button?

Last week’s Sunday Night Football matchup drew in its lowest ratings in seven years (Monday Night Football didn’t fare any better) and last night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings fell even further. According to Deadline, the primetime portion of last night’s game scored a 13.7/22 in Nielsen’s metered market ratings as the Vikings went on to beat the Packers 17-14. Not only is that down 18% from last year’s ratings, it’s also a 9% dip compared to the SNF opener just last week.

 The NFL’s decline in the ratings is becoming more of a true pattern and less of a passing phase, especially as the National Anthem protest continues onward.
