With the NFL getting an early start this morning due to a game in London, all eyes were turned the league’s way to see how players would react to President Donald Trump’s attacks on NFL players protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. And as expected, a bunch of players knelt as the Star Spangled Banner played, while other players — and Jacksonville Jaguars’ owner Shad Khan — linked arms in solidarity.

There needs to be a navy seal team standing behind every NFL team during the playing of the anthem. They would stand, they would sing, they would do whatever the seals ordered them to do.

I'm going to take this opportunity to post a pic of the talented Maria Bartiromo, since it was said on her show.

Shad Khan is probably one of the most pro-military owners in the league. He was MAGA and he's probably done more for the military than Huckabee, but he linked arms with his players...

In that case, let's just change our flag to a swastika and be done with the charade that this is still the "land of the free."

for some fricking reason you posted the bs leadin

Here is what Huckabee said:

I wish that some of these players that get on one knee to protest this country and all the sacrifices that make it great would get on both knees and thank God that they live in the United States of American where they make over $2 million on average to play a game for heaven’s sake

Not really sure how satire would play out in the theater of the absurd but, no, I was serious. I would love to see navy seals impose their will upon these spoiled pricks. Just for laughs.

I'm just one but there are 2,500 seals. Should take all of 30 seconds to bring these NFL dogs to heel.

I think I have heard about places where the military is/was used to stifle free speech, can't quite place which countries they are/were...

How the Hell is it not the land of the free? The government can't do a darn thing to these pampered millionaire athletes for protesting. There is no lost freedom there. The NFL and /or owners have every right to restrict these demonstrations if the player wants to stay in their employment however. Again, that is up to the players and owners...no lost freedoms there either so you tell me how this has ANYTHING to do with freedom and how our society limits their freedom to be an arse?
