This is the attitude to have. Time to boycott the NFL and bring these people down. The owners, coachs and players all have one thing in common, rich and spoiled. If you don't respect the nation and your shoving your foolish far left politics in the customers face then you deserve to lose the customer. Some of these places had fans booing very loudly, fans clearly agitated. Next week let's see how many snowflake hippies buy thier tickets. Will hippies money keep the money flowing that these people are used too? I don't think so. Oh that's right the people who buy tickets and by premium sports channels are the ones who have jobs, contribute to society and generally hate this protester trash to begin with. Snowflake millenials and ghetto trash do not pay for NFL tickets and premium sports channels do they? Time to teach these idiots a lesson.

Boycott the NFL!

Like with many things the hypocrisy runs wide and far.
Get a grip.

Who cared whether Tim Tebow took a knee or not?

First off, protest are legal but I don't think you meant it that way.

Those they are protesting for had legal representation. It did very little good in many of the instances.

Let's take an easy one. Look at the instance with the nurse. He demanded she do something unconstitutional. His superior demanded she do something unconstitutional or she would get arrested.

Now if I demanded that you do something like this and refusing to do so, I physically restrained you and forcibly held you against your will, I am getting arrested. The police should not be above the laws they hold us to.

The police force seems to be acknowledging the point. Why hasn't he been arrested and charged?

I agree. They are so obsessed with their hatred of President Trump that it clouds their rationale to the degree they would hand our country over to someone like Kim. Their hatred for the United States of America has gone beyond any reasoning.

And most of us don't like people hating our flag. The same flag that is draped over the casket of dead soldiers who fight to preserve our freedom to earn millions playing football.

There are other ways to display your hatred of cops.
This. Kneeling during the national anthem = "i hatr America"

It's time to contact the NFL TV advertisers like Verizon, Toyota, Ford, Chevy and McDonalds.

Yep. Let those advertisers know what you think.

I agree, wasn't anywhere near the same deal. A lot of people here don't have a problem with protests, just doing it on the field just doesn't seem like the right place or time. These guys are basically on the clock working for someone else. The average working man doing a job isn't protesting on the company's dime. That's where I take some umbrage.
