    I guess they can't Blackball too many players ... look what it's done to the QB stock. We got stiffs getting paid a lot of money to lose games.

    Liberals are much too principled to be honest, I'm afraid.

    There is a better case to be made that people like you actually hate America.
    During Vietnam, did the protesters hate America? No, they were against a war that was sending their kids( and the kids being sent) off to a war that had the rules stacked against them. Same happened in Iraq. Same in Afghanistan. If the nightly news showed those wars like they did Vietnam, we would have been out a lot faster.

    The NFL doesn't take orders from the President.

    I guess because President Trump doesn't think America is great that means he hates America. Because President Trump doesn't like soldiers who are captured, he hates our military and veterans.

    President Trump needs to focus on his job and not bring politics into sports.

    Their fan base will only erode to the number of Trump supporters who follow his orders to a tee.

    That's exactly how I feel... I'll tune my tv into the Cowboys tonight in support of Jerry Jones, for about 10 or 15 minutes.

    Those were the same lame excuses that were being made during the Civil Rights Movement.

    Same customers are upset, but most of the customers are not.

    How many plays do you think the average NFL team runs?

    Nonsense. The great majority of the fans, the owners, the league, the union support the players and boo Trump.
    Good of you to admit it.

    I read nearly $500,000,000 worth of players kneeled for the anthem this weekend.

    Now that Trump has made it quite clear he doesn't like the kneeling, it seems the left thinks this is the patriotic thing to do.

    I hope critical lefties tune in to watch the kneeling so the beleaguered NFL can boost their collapsing ratings.

    I can tell you what they've now done. They've taken away the "police brutality" of it and focused it on a protest against Trump.
