Damn Trump took his big brass balls and dragged them right across the NFL's faces! 
"JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- The Jaguars organization has apologized to the city of Jacksonville for how they handled the national anthem protest before their game in London against the Baltimore Ravens.
In a letter obtained by First Coast News, Jaguars president Mark Lamping told the city's Director of Military Affairs Bill Spann that "...we were remiss in not fully comprehending the effect of the national anthem demonstration occurring on foreign soil has had on the men and women who have or continue to serve our country. Similarly, we today can better appreciate how standing for God Save the Queen may have been viewed negatively by our armed forces in Jacksonville and beyond."
The letter goes on to say "The notion never entered the minds of our players or anyone affiliated with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but today we can understand how the events in London on September 24 could have been viewed or misinterpreted. We owe you an apology and hope you will accept it."

Too late.
Shitty team
Protesting the American anthem on foreign soil
Muslim owner
they have nothing going for them. They're leaving Jacksonville for London in the next few years.

Apology not accepted

What an embarrassment that was. Going to another country and doing something like that is a disgrace

Fukc 'em - Fukc 'em all.
I wish I were still an NFL fan so my boycott of all their actions would register on the ratings.
I am now disinterested in any professional sports - except golf and tennis. The rest can drown in their own offal.

I don't buy it as they continue to do it.
They knew exactly what they were doing, just like the Saints players this weekend that kneeled during the tribute to the slain police officer.
Complete disrespect.
