I had a guy come over to fix something. I had football on and he saw it. Then he went on a rant about players being disrespectful, they should be thankful, no one kneels at his work, how dare they, he would never watch another NFL game, etc. I was kind of shocked, I didn't realize president Trump had come over to fix my toilet. I believe he represents a huge section of the NFL fanbase. That is why this is an issue. the rest don't care and don't pay any attention to it.

The problem is this
The NFL fan base is largely Patriotic and Proud of the US... They see the utter disrespect shown the country by a pack of over paid left wing, lying sumbitches with no real cause They have the right to kneel at home, not to protest at your place of work. Owners have a right to not hire a cancer like copacock, an over privileged little punk. Owners know this idiotic bullshit hurts their revenue and have the right to protect their investment. The truly unpatriotic part is protesting the flag that lets the mental midgets the place to make millions. Half of which without the NFL and scholarships handed out like candy would be in prison Want to really protest the US? Move the fuck out... head to Somalia.. Show your true protest with some real skin in the game. Until you do that you're just a stupid fuck. I don't blame people for switching them off. They kneel I'm gone this year too. |

If you own a place of business, don't you have a right to discipline employees who are making your business less profitable? Again, my original question; why aren't the NBA, MLB, NHL or NCAA having protests? |

Yes, they have the audacity to be black and take a stand. A much to large part of the country has a problem with that. I find it ironic that those who cheer Trump for not being politically correct are the most butt hurt about the silent protests.
Leave it to the NFL to screw this up. They’ve gave in to Trump and I think it will embolden him even more. He doesnt give a damn what people do during the anthem. He wants to hurt the NFL. If he can play to his racist base at the same time even better. The NFL comes off bad in this and gives him a win. He’ll find another way to try to hurt them.

Why is this so difficult for people to understand? Every owner should have their team wait in the tunnel until the anthem is over and then go out. The whole thing would be squashed within the next season.
