Re: NFL preseason sees kneeling, raised fists, during national anthem

And I see cam Jordan has taken to twitter to pick a fight with Trump.

The NFL is going to go the way of the Dixie Chicks if this doesn't stop...


Why does the protest have to be during the national anthem???

Kneel during the coin toss. Go to the 50 before/during/after halftime and kneel, raise your fists, or pull your pants down around your ankles. Lay flat on your backs during the 2 minute timeout. Or refuse to leave the field after the game until you've had a full fledged protest march.

AGAIN WHY DOES YOUR PROTEST HAVE TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE ANTHEM.???


I know I'm small potatoes in the NFL budget but I will not buy merchandise, Sunday Ticket and will not attend any more live games while this continues. And I'm sure I'm not alone...

False. We live in a world completely driven by tv and social media. They could get noticed any number of ways. They are getting noticed now, you're right about that, but the response has been overwhelmingly negative. They're actually hurting their already misguided cause. At this point I have completely written off anything these guys do to bring "awareness" to their "cause." Its a hollow sham of a cause to begin with, filled with half truths that are further distorted to fit an agenda. When it comes down to it, the biggest thing holding anyone down is themselves and how they choose to live their lives. And the biggest outside factor holding black folks down today is the democratic party and their own so called black leadership. Who, for decades now have been filling the minds of black people with the idea that you can't get by based on your merit. You need a hand out, you need special treatment because you're not equal. F*** that dude, we're not living in civil war era America, nor in a segregated America. That s**t is in the past, just leave it there and let it die. But the democratic party and the black leadership refuses to simply let the wounds heal and the scars fade. They've been picking the scab off for years and applying new salt to the wound. They've kept black people under their thumbs as a political tool for all these years. They don't care about you, they don't have your best interest at heart, they ARE your modern oppressors. You had a half black Democrat president for 8 years, wtf did he do for black people? F***in nothing. I'm not trying to say the Republican party is perfect or anything. Indeed, the older I get the more I realize that our entire political system is corrupt and rotting from the inside out. But it's not the Republican party, or the cops, or white people in general who are trying to keep black folks down anymore. That ended decades ago, as it should have. Your precious left and your so called leaders have taken up the cause, and you're blind to it. I hope and I pray that one day black peoples eyes will be opened to who their oppressors actually are. Until then I will continue to ignore these protests as the misdirected and misguided garbage they are.

I usually sit during the anthem. Not in protest, just comfort. Why are the concession stands open during the anthem if this is such a big deal?
