On Sunday, I hope every @NFL player takes a knee in solidarity w @Kaepernick7 against the white supremacist who squats in our White House.

Poor Snowflakes - the American Flag triggers them and the National Anthem throws them into Hysteria.
One thing is for sure - I called this in the early posts, that the whining would soon start and this would be
- "The Outrage of the Day"

Nothing more predictable than Snowflakes and Leftists.

Using the terms triggered and snowflake in your post makes for a questionable intellect given that no one protesting is triggered by the American flag and throwing out snowflake is about as childish as revoking an invitation you never gave in the first place

Default Trump's words about race

A Black football player who exercises his right to free speech (no matter how offensive his actions may be) is labeled a "son of a b---h" that should be "dragged off the field", but yet Nazis marching through the streets of an American city are called "good people on both sides"?

What do Colin Kapernick, Jemele Hill, and Stephen Curry have in common? They are all Black people who spoke out against racism and got attacked by Trump for doing so. And still people insist that Trump is not a racist

What part of Colin Kapernick is Trump racist against? ... the white half or the black half?

He didn't say any "black" player.. he said "ANY" player who disrespected our flag. You're the one who is trying to make it about race.

Default How to De-Politicize the National Anthem

Keep all the players off the field until after the anthem is played.

Keep the politics away from the game without jeopardizing anyones 1st Amendment rights.

Funny how he only talked about one group. If it smells bad, well that just shows the truth about the POTUS

Professional sports has always created a podium for athletes to make political messages. What they're doing is as American as apple pie...

Just don't tell the protesting players that kneeling is a sign of greater reverence than standing with one's hand on one's heart. Subjects kneel to their monarch. Slaves kneel to their master. These players are so ignorant they don't even realize what they are doing.

The league, and their owners need to communicate to their players that the First Amendment does not apply to private employment, and they can be de-activated, disciplined, fined, and/or fired for not abiding by their rules of conduct. The USE of the team name, jerseys, venue, airtime, sponsors an FANS should not be allowed.
