The NFL players are at it again - taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their outrage at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love...... .....Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!

Per the current CBA, players only get 48.5% of NFL revenue.

Didn't the nfl say they would fine players who kneeled? I took it as less of him threatening the players and more of a "look what i convinced the nfl to do!" Idk where he got the suspension part from though.

This is a free country one where out anthem is optional. I love living in a country where I am not forced to recite a loyalty oath. Despite Trump wanting to change that.

I know you are a troll but they are not kneeling because they are oppressed.

The NFL is not the government.

Unless Trump tries to pass legislation that forbids kneeling then it's not a first amendment issue.

I wonder how many demanding this would be screaming in anger if people had to do any other kind of ceremony to "something else".

The insistence do this is a simply spitting on the very concept of a free democracy and all America claims to stand for and only serves to continue an indoctrinated cult that doesn't question their leaders.

The reasons for these protests have been clearly explained hundreds of times.

Saying that the players are "unable to define" what they are upset about is just a veiled way to say these are just stupid black athletes.

So back when Kaepernick did it, if no one complained and just ignored him, would this still be a thing?

Or hell is President gossipy trump never tweeted anything about this and shared his disgust over it, would it have just died off?

It's like that simpsons treehouse of horror episode man, just don't look, just don't look.

I don't care what people do during the anthem.

I'm confused. Are they kneeling in the middle of the game? Or is the anthem played during the game?

I don't understand how Conservatives can wish for legal action to be taken place against Facebook and YouTube over them banning Alex Jones while at the same time wishing NFL players should receive fines or be fired for exercising their own free speech. I wish they'd make up their minds regarding companies and speech.

Can you not infer my meaning? They're not there to be activists rocking the boat and turning a routine patriotic ceremony into a focal point of division between the fans and the NFL overall.

It's the same thing with injecting SJW attitudes into Star Wars. It brings it down.
