Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the National Anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag & Country. No leadership in NFL!

It's just nice to live in a country where everything is running so smoothly that our President doesn't have anything better to do than to worry about a football player taking a knee.

Personally, I would never think about being that disrespectful. However, I do respect the freedoms that this country provides for all of its citizens.

And isn't it nice to live in a country so smoothly run that our President has nothing better to do than to worry about a couple of numbnuts kneeling during the National Anthem?

Whataboutism.

Besides, he’s the big swinging nuts. Would you rather him tweet while taking his morning shite, or send a pallet full of cash to Iran?

Your outrage is pathetic.

The company decides that. It's their freedom to run their business as they see fit.

And the people can choose not to support said company.

Funny how only FIVE people knelt yesterday as oppposed to the many a few weeks ago, huh?

But keep thinking you’re winning.

Bless your heart.

Nice try, Tx. If the Dems weren't saving their meager money for lawyers...maybe you'd get a check.

It's far more than merely "football player taking a knee"....and Trump Nation knows it. BLM/Antifa/Prog Movement is the real issue, and Trump is delivering the 'Clint Eastwood' kill shot by DEFINING them as what they truly are.....ANTI-AMERICAN.

Remember Alinsky..."isolate, define...discredit...destroy". Those poor Players don't even realize what is coming down.

Oh well. I like football; it's a good thing. We'll grow out of this...and Professionals will learn to not mix their Product with their Politics. Less they are willing to suffer the pay cut.

Stadium seats don't mean much.

Considering average game attendance cost is probably somewhere around $150 per person with tickets and concessions, thats a nice chunk of change to be losing on every home game. 20k empty seats would be in the ballpark of $3M in lost revenue every game.

The rapid decline in their television ratings will be what really hurts them.

This will hurt too, especially once the networks reach their tipping points on it and either demand the NFL puts an end to it or starts trying to restructure the TV deals in light of rapid ratings decline. If anyone can force the NFL end the protests and admit they were wrong to allow it in the first place, its the TV networks who makeup the biggest chunk of league revenue

You're making my point.

Those aren't issues. Those are distractions from the issues meant to stir up the Drama Queens and keep us all distracted and divided.

Intelligent, mature adults are laughing this off as the sideshow that it is. I certainly don't expect the poliboard to follow suit or even comprehend it.

Once again, Trump and the establishment are playing us for the fools that we continue to show them that we are.

Most of the occupied seats were paid for before those Players jumped in, TP. The NFL Brass knows what is coming next year...less they can pull a rabbit out of their hat. I don't think the Players do...yet; but when it comes Draft time...I think they will. Putting big money down has now become highly speculative and risky. Contracts will be re-negotiated; they will have to be.
