Here is a way you football lovers who just can stop going to the games can show your patriotism, If a player disrespects the flag or national anthem, disrespect them by turning your back on them and chanting "YOU TAKE A KNEE I TURN MY BACK ON YOU" or " YOU DISRESPECT MY FLAG I TURN MY BACK ON YOU" or "YOU TAKE A KNEE I GIVE YOU MY BACK". If a few hundred people started this in the stands of the next NFL game I think it would spread through the stadium, quickly, then lets see what those players do when 50000 people are chanting that in opposition to them. It would be especially effective if the people had flags on the back of their shirts. I would love to do it but I can not afford a ticket. In case someone wants to help me I live in Tampa area.

HMFICDICK Originally Posted by HMFICDICKThe NFL players that knelt down during the national anthem did so in protest of racial injustices, they should be applauded. The people that actually disrespect the flag reside in the White House, you have a bigot president that supports prejudice toward anyone not a white male. Plus you have the president and the Republican Party supporting child molesters which is not something our country should stand for. What actually should happen at games is that everyone should turn their back on the flag until those promoting racism in our government are rooted out. People that protest in whatever form are hero’s if the cause is worthy, certainly equal rights for all is a worthy cause.

First of all 70% of NFL players are black, so there's no racism there. But since the real reason was because of Police brutality those players that opted to kneel should ride along with the Police Departments in the city they play in. I am pretty sure they would come away with a different point of view. In fact any team that signs on Kaepernick should pay him for one year what a five year rookie cop makes in the city that represents his team. His contract should also include he ride along with the police twenty hours a month, that should be enough to get his sorry black ass straight. But we all know he won't sign a contract like that for two reasons money and he's too much of a chicken shit to face the police on their turf.

Hey Penis Breath, the point is that there is a time and place for demonstrations..When it is the president of the United States that is stoking the flames of racism and then he is supported by the rest of the Republican Party , it makes sense to say “ I don’t want to live in a country that is led by a bigot” so they targeted the flag. You can argue weather it was the best way but there is no arguing the cause. The cause should be respected and supported.
We don't care what the cause is OR EVEN IF WE AGREE WITH THE CAUSE...you don't do it during the national anthem, weddings, funerals, church events, kids Birthday parties or any other civilized gathers..
It's a very stupid and counter productive thing to do. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

Over 50% of the NFL are felons. Over 60% are black and MANY have half a dozen or more babies by MORE women than they are marreid to. Add to that, NOT ONE seems to spend a damn dime of their OWN money helping out in da hood.
