Well, I guess disrespecting the flag will help protect their life then.

No world government is perfect. And without patriotism, no nation will thrive. Ponder that for a moment and you will realize that this is a dangerous path.

If Hilary Clinton had won, will these people be so cocky on the field of play?

Sports is supposed to unite all irrespective of political, religions or ethnic background. Must everything be politicized? Trumpers stand while never-Trumpers kneel?

Well, seems football is the new political arena my friend. They can keep kneeling. Their knee, their problem...


They didn't start it mind you.

Trump brought politics into NFL with his comments.



And the message of my post wasn't to promote anarchy.

It's to also see things from the athletes point of view.

And that's the only stage they feel they will be seen worldwide.

At least they aren't taking extreme measures like some groups.

Look at the stadium again. The crowd is on their feet.

The fallout of this, has seen most NFL games nearly deserted.

Stop talking uninformed rubbish. I watch the NFL, and nobody is deserting anything. Stop dreaming.

It feels like the time of civil right movement in America at the moment. From the word go, anyone with eyes truly open knows trump is a staunch Kkk and their fundamental pledge in thier evil coven is to ruthlessly enslave and estaminate blacks and others they deem inferior.

It's a funny thing. Always said black people and Africans who support Trump are mentally ill. Republicans have been called racist for decades, but at least their politicians have learnt the art of the dog-whistle: coded, subtle messages and actions that implicitly target minorities and people of colour. Trump doesn't even bother with this art of deflection. His appeal to the worst impulses of his base is pretty brazen.

These imbeciiles can't seem to understand something is very wrong when a President is fixated on open criticism of black sports figures that oppose him, but cannot even denounce white supremacists, neo-Nazis and KKK marchers. Mentally ill, sick individuals. grin

That is the crux.
The double standard exhibited by Trump makes you wonder how he got in as POTUS in the first place.
Trump supporters over here who don't know the nuances of the political scene over there will rush to condemn the players without getting a factual base for their argument.

To all those who are supporting Trump , do your research properly. The same President states that there were some fine people from KkK, Nazi groups and so on. Kneeing down when the national anthem is being played is not disrespecting the flag. The flag was not burnt with fire , or step on, or used as a rag or pissed on by the NFL players . The problem with we blacks is that we cannot just be unified for once. I am sure if Hitler was alive, some folks will still be supporting him. Black people are getting locked up in record numbers, maltreated like slaves overseaS and someone will be typing na them, afonja, ipob. Tribalism is as bad as racism. Shine your eyes well, say no to racism, tribalism or any form of injustice.

Even burning the flag is not an offense in itself over there in the US.
It's only a misdemeanor.
So says their supreme court.

http://thelawdictionary.org/article/is-flag-burning-illegal/

Trump is as infantile and senile as they come. Looking for attention wherever he can garner it.

As for the uninformed, leave them to still be that way. I'm glad there are people out there who can appreciate the subtle nuances of political issues.

What does respecting your country mean? Worshiping a Flag? Or Anthem? They're just symbols, if you disrespect the content of that anthem, you're the one disrespecting. The people kneeling are saying stay true to the anthem that gives freedom to all. Trump came out so harsh against people not standing for an anthem but it took him forever to condemn the Fazis, kkk and white supremacists, he dodge service to the US army 5 good times, there's nothing patriotic about the Orange thing, he only use that narrative to justify racism and his disgusting leadership.

Americans are burning their season tickets, cutting cable subsrcriptions for NFL games and burning their NFL paraphernalia.

Nice going guys.

This is what happens when you overpay a bunch of idiots to run around and hit themselves.

No worries, statistically, most of these players will be broke in 5yrs

Of course that's what the Dotard wants. He'll be the loser at the end. Every day he is Building his legacy as the worst American president ever... Now Americans appreciate George Bush Jr. A divided America only reflects who Trump is, anything he touches gets destroyed.

During Bush era...all sports champions visited the white house and even cracked jokes with president bush...I remember how Bush standing beside shaq and was feeling intimidated by his height.. lol
but this trump is just one pathetic human being.
Sad that some people from a particular section of the country keep embarrassing themselves on facebook comments of cnn pages...

Dont mind that guy. Stadiums are still full to the brim. Trump has lost a good amount of supporters since he became POTUS.

One of Trump's biggest supporters in the NFL -- Robert Kraft, billonaire owner of patriots also released a statement saying he was disappointed in the president's comments.

Liberal idiots are still butthurt of their hilary losing that they started employing 3rd world tactics like rioting using extreme groups like ANTIFA and the Soros controlled BLM.

Trump is standing up for America and Americans and their values.

The idiot who started all this was abandoned by his black American father and grew up under the comfort of his white mother's parent's home.

For him to claim racism is affecting Black America is a big idiot.

How many black american charities has he donated to? He can't give back to the hood because he NEVER GREW UP IN THE DAMN HOOD!

And guess what he has no club as his contract was not renewed by his current club and nobody wanted to hire him.

That dude just like all the confused mulattos with black fathers is a compound confused idiot just like Obama

What an idiot..
The guy that started it doesn't even know who his father is. His black father impregnated her mum and left even before he was born. Her mum who doesn't want a black kid gave him up for adoption not long after he was born even though her mums parent was insupport of her keeping the baby.

He was bought up by his adopted white parents who he now only knows as his parents. His real mum has spoken out against trump as well by saying she is now a bitch since trump called their sons "sons of bitches".

His real mum has been trying to make comeback but he has been ignoring her.

Stop spreading lies.

They're not butthurt about anything, there is nothing happening now that has anything to do with loosing election, it has everything to do with having a Lunatic or a mentally unstable person has a leader of a great nation like America, talk about 3rd world tactics, have never seen an American president that deployed that more than Trump, very decisive, say any trashy thing that comes to his mind, very vindictive and focus on petty things that you won't believe a president will get busy at. If he just had 10% Class, nobody will even remember he won an election, but everyday, they're reminded, a major disaster happened...an they will need to endure it for a while.

You are talking trash.

Why did he not scream racism when a white owned club employed him and paid him $20million?

It is when he is losing his placement to a white guy purely for merit that he remember racism.
