Ed Orgeron On National Anthem Protest: 'We Stay Out Of Politics'

Amen

Actually you need to do your Research. Prior to 2009 only the primetime games didn't do the anthem with the players on the field. Meaning Sunday night and Monday night. The anthem was still played in the stadium. In all other games the teams were on the field. Stop watching CNN clown.

Finally, a comment that is refreshing and spot on. Geaux Tigers

Love it!!!!!

Continued: with him and several players started protesting. Now it had all but died down until dum dum did what he do best incite calling these men mothers bit@hes and pissing off the masses. Now since (like Lebron said) the bum did what he did more players are protesting than when Kap first started and believe me Trump has his own agenda. And you all can't or don't want to see it Trump is trying to find ways to get the media and America's attention away from that investigation and that war he's trying his best to start. And peaceful protesting was what made this country what it is today and to not allow the freedoms that the flag represent then you are disrespecting the flag and the country.

Rabble rabble rabble rabble!

Hands up don't shoot did not happen. Kaepernick started protesting to make his bitch happy.

Yea let's just erase everything in this country and start from scratch

If you blacks hate it here so much then move. A hell of a lot of people are really fed up with your incesant whining and complaining when your race is off the charts as far as the percentage of violent crime committed vs the percentage of the overall population. Why is only the few deaths in confrontations with Police your concern? Especially when the dumbasses resist arrest? Take yourselves seriously first.

Tend to agree but good luck If you say it in the open public. Honkies don't mind trampling on free speech and the potus using executive order tweets until it is their free speech. Praise Jesus and Fred Sanford

It was more of a potus protest

What else would you call kneeling (or sitting) specifically during the National Anthem? :Dunno:

Protest on your time....sounds like you're saying don't protest about racial inequality when I'm watching cause I'd rather pretend it's not still happening.

Look. If black lives matter so much then why doesn't even one of these "concerned players" show up in Chicago and put in some time with Community outreach? Why isn't there concern for thousands of black murders every year committed by other blacks? Why doesn't the black leadership in this nation show outrage at the fact that 12% of the US population (blacks) commit 53% of murders? Why aren't black leaders and these players involved with their own community when over 80% of the murders committed by blacks are against other blacks? By the way, tell Mr Guice and all the rest of the concerned people that Alton Sterling was a 4 time felon and was not supposed to even have a firearm. He resisted arrest 3 times and was finally shot. He had a gun in his pocket and hey guess what a bullet has no problem going through a pair of jeans and killing someone if the trigger is pulled. The police officers were exhonerated as were the police in Ferguson and in Baltimore. So what is the cas tat has so many of these prima dona hypocrites so up in arms about. It is complete bullshite.

Everything Stripes said is correct. Sad, but true. As for racial inequality in sports, approximately 80% of all NBA players are black and 75% of NFL players are black. That means a paltry 20-25% are white. How is that equal? It's called double standard, people.

He gone

Agreed. Even though I am not personally offended by this often misguided and misunderstood protest, I stand and take my hat off to our troops and officers.
