45 advocates forced ritual in NFL...

Anybody whose ever been to a game and seen the lines at the concession stands during the anthem will quickly surmise that all this angst against the players is nothing more than self serving jingoism.

"America -- love it or leave it!"

Yeah, fuck off.

Maybe the Moron-in-Chief should worry about things like, you know, getting timely assistance to the Americans in Puerto Rico who have no electricity, little fuel, and are running out of food and water.  Fuckhead.

And are facing a immanent flood from that dam breach . And the standing water is likely to breed disease

I remember when two US Olympians made a raised fist salute at the Olympics....and 'Murrica lost its shit as it does so easily.

I can remember George Foreman waving a small American flag in the middle of a boxing ring after winning the Olympic gold medal when he stopped a commie opponent in two rounds.....and America cheered.

Nothing's holding your commie ass here. You can pack your shit and move out of the country at any time if you hate it here that much.

Thanks for proving once again that you are the dumbest fuck on the entire board.  How did the WLB miss you for his administration?  You would have fit right in with his nazi/klan crowd.

The last surviving daughter of civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King served up a history lesson on Twitter over the weekend in response to those who were angry over NFL players protesting during the national anthem.

Bernice King said people didn’t approve of her father’s protests, either.

Yes, they did, except for Villanueva. Now Villanueva has the highest-selling jersey and the Steelers are all scrambling to do damage control. They say they'll all be out for the anthem next week (not that I'll be watching anymore). Lots of people posting videos of burning their Steelers stuff. This really hurt them. Didn't hurt Trump at all, at least not in flyover country, and he knows it.

Um actually if you check the latest news, he actually called what he did a mistake and wish he had not done it. 

And if you actually checked the latest news, Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers Quarterback, also reversed himself and now says that he wished the Steelers would have taken a different approach to the National Anthem before Sunday's game....and yes, many fans are burning their teams' sportswear.

Ben Roethlisberger said Monday he wished the Steelers had taken a different approach to the national anthem before Sunday's game at Soldier Field.....
The Steelers were one of three teams, along with the Seahawks and Titans, that opted not to take the field for the anthem before their game. 

The Steelers' decision proved unpopular with many of the team's fans, who went on social media to voice their displeasure and even posted videos of themselves burning Steelers merchandise.
Roethlisberger issued a statement on his personal website Monday saying he regretted the team's decision to miss the anthem.

If people exercising their 1st amendment rights is that triggering to you, you're free to move to another country as well, y'know.

The fucktard thinks he is a "True 'Murrican."  The kind that think the only thing in the fucking constitution is the 2d Amendment.

As my son said... Steelers lost to the Bears. They have more to worry about than a stupid fucking anthem.

There's certainly more for 'Muricans to get their overly patriotic panties in a twist about than whether or not football players stand for the anthem.

This bill is getting more attention with the protests. Loss of taxpayer-subsidized stadiums would have the owners changing their tune.
