The black power fist during the anthem was frowned upon long before Trump. No surprise that race monger Jenkins tried to bring it back into fashion
But I sure do remember Tebow being threatened by the NFL if he kneeled, yet those poor black guys?

I don't. I remember Tebow doing a lot of kneeling, not getting criticized much, but also not kneeling during the anthem.

Color me shocked. Fake news and manufactured outrage.

Tallies of Fox stories on Obama during his 8 years always hovered around 50-50 in terms of positive/negative.
Got a source for that, or is this anecdotal?
I don't take extreme sides, as both the far left and far right are generally illogical and ridiculous. If anything I lean right. To me, it's as plain that CNN is heavily left as it is that Fox is heavily right. If your views are biased from the beginning, you may not be able to notice.

Don't fall for the "Trump is petty" bullshite that idiots like Salmon are trying to peddle. We already know Trump is building leverage on this issue with NFL owners based on statement by Jerry Jones. This is just another move to put pressure on the league to bend the knee.
y'all act like we don't know what Trump is doing

Imagine the what the average football fan thinks when he sees the president step in and make the spoiled millionaires respect their flag - even when the owners and league are too scared to do it themselves? The optics are glorious.
the average football fan is tired of all this bullshite

Theres a specific rule now that says players CANNOT go to the ground in celebration. A KC Chief was flagged for praying after a TD
quote:
The officiating crew for the game penalized him for "falling to the ground on the knees.” The National Football League has a rule, and players are "prohibited from engaging in any celebrations while on the ground." The 15-yard penalty is assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

That rule was changed in 2017. It was enacted in 2006. When Tebow was a freshman at UF.

And the NFL said the ref was wrong.
quote:
An NFL spokesperson had to clarify that the refs got the call wrong because “the officiating mechanic … is not to flag a player who goes to the ground as part of religious expression.”

Tebow wasn't celebrating plays, from what I remember, he was protesting abortion - ie, not during play, but also not during the Anthem.

Fake news should be exterminated no matter where it is spread. Granted, one moderate news channel doing it versus 7 far left channels will make headlines all day long.

why didn't the team want to come to the white house
please answer the question..
what is the reason?
protest the President, right?
so there you have it....unless someone wants to correct me...
So the Eagles boast, "fake news"..we didn't protest the flag this year, but refuse the honor of going to the white house?
so it sounds like the Eagles have a few racists on their team?
let's hear the real scoop because the story isn't that fox got this photo image all wrong...
the story is some players don't like Trump...
Protesting the president is pretty much like protesting the flag...probably worse!!

Did you feel the same when Tony Stewart and other nascar drivers didn’t go to the White House in 2011?

This shouldn’t be in the President’s jurisdiction. It is between the fans, the players, and the league. Why is the government involved? Oh yeah, because Trump is trying to score political points completely outside of his realm

I am talking about an invitation to the white house from the POTUS to honor your championship
you don't think that's as disrespectful as taking a knee and not even knowing why you're taking a knee?
