Lets Have OUR OWN PROTEST
 
Im over the Anti-Americanism going on now. There is nobody playing in the NFL who is "oppressed." And if you dont love this country, please get on a boat and get the **** OUT.

If the Saints sit down during the Anthem, then I quit football.

I am PAYING CUSTOMER. you are a PAYING CUSTOMER. We pay these whiny ass ******* millions of dollars to play a game.

ENOUGH! The NFL is not the government. It is a BUSINESS. It has the right to tell its employees how to act. WE pay them. They work for US, if we will just exercise that right.

Bring a little AMERICAN FLAG to the game Sunday, and lets all show them who we support. Im tight on time, because i have a business, but please pass this along to all the other boards... I dont know if this has a chance, but Lets wave our flags in the Stands Sunday, just to show them a little glimpse of who we are....

I cant do anymore than this... The rest is you.

And any player who sacks Kaepernick, should stand at attention and salute.

I love what Brees said when Kap first did the protest thing.

Literally calling him a hypocrite;

“Not that he wants to speak out about a very important issue. No, he can speak out about a very important issue. But there’s plenty of other ways that you can do that in a peaceful manner that doesn’t involve being disrespectful to the American flag.”

“The great thing about this country is that we have the freedoms that allow you to speak out openly about any issue. So I’m not commenting on the issue itself because any person has the right to speak out on any issue they want. That’s the great thing about being an American. But the American flag is what represents those freedoms.”

Like, it’s an oxymoron that you’re sitting down, disrespecting that flag that has given you the freedom to speak out.”

Hell yeah! That's a great idea! Obviously I live in BFE, but if I was going to the game I'd bring a flag! Good hell, they should start giving them away at the door. That'd be badass!!

I don't understand how RG does not suspend these idiots for "conduct detrimental to the game", the same excuse he uses for other stuff. This is truly conduct that is unbecoming.

I agree with Sky. If you don't like what the flag represents which is giving you freedom when you came here or continued freedom if you were born here GET THE f**K OUT and see how many other countries would let you do that without chopping your head off!

He wouldn't get away with it with most countries without some type of punishment ,some being severe. My dad was in WWII, my brother Vietnam, my son in Afganistan, I have no respect for anyone that desicrates the US. Freedom comes with a price. Brave people lost their lives. This puke might as well pissed on their graves in my eyes, totally unacceptable.

Why not play the anthem while the players are in the locker room? That way nobody sees him kneeling or sitting.

Or count standing as a participation grade, if a player does not participate, he can't dress out, if a player does not dress out, he cannot be on the sideline before the game begins. Simple as that.

So in effect, no rights are "violated" and no cameras see him acting the fool. He'd have to find another, less stupid way to protest.

In about 10 years, we will lucky if they play the national anthem at all because OMG we will be afraid of offending all the anarchist clowns like Kaepernick out there. America needs to grow a pair and ditch this PC crap.

P.S. - that is a great idea SkyMike, everyone pulling out there flag on a stick and waving it at the end of the anthem would be cool.
