6 bills kneel for anthem

Funny how these guys all claim to have some "great cause" that they abanded after only one week. It proves that they felt as if they were in the wrong (disrespectful). People arguing in their favor have compared their acts to other civil rights greats. I'll tell you that they don't compare in the least. True agents of change who believe in themselves don't give up after one week. Just typically political agitation that both sides love to engage in these days.

True, and soon the great patriots who were so insulted by the disrespect to the flag can go back to making beer runs during the national anthem. However, last week's mass kneelings were a direct response to Trump's attempts to divide the NFL, and didn't really have anything to do with the protest's original meaning.

Correct. Only a small number felt the call to kneel a few weeks ago. Others were doing whatever they saw fit outside that (ranging from nothing at all to big community involvement). Last week was simply showing unity against very ugly comments. if anything I think drives comments point towards him not getting any of the nuance because he's too revved up about it himself.

Im sure ownership cracked down hard behind the scenes, big $ at stake.

My thoughts exactly, but then it means that these players aren't the revolutionaries that many wanted to portray them as. They are just pawns in the endless political agitation that both sides continue to inflict upon the country.

To be fair, we should probably have this in PPP

Last week, about 180 NFL players didn't stand for the National Anthem. This week? 11.

I think Shannon Sharpe had a point. Last week wasn't about a devotion to social justice. It was fading out until Trump attacked the "shield". That is why there was push back

I guarantee it didn't Trump much. Stupid way to "push back".

Three minutes of commentary and analysis on the players and the anthem to start the Seattle-Indy game.

 

I DON'T NEED THREE MINUTES OF COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS ON THE NATIONAL !@#$ING ANTHEM!

Right, who would have thought that the melody of an old British drinking song would become such a highly analyzed event.

There's almost nothing better than a cup of coffee on a cool morning and when I say cool I mean anything below 60 degrees. If it's not that cool outside - I'll gladly go inside to my 69-70 degree air conditioning - and I'll say "Alexia, play some birds singing".

It just amazes me that so many people are getting their panties all tied up in knots over this, but the corporate media is happy to fan the flames.

The media has been doing this to Americans for years. Keep us poor folk arguing about stupid stuff, while we continue to get robbed blind everyday.
