        Protesting police brutality against black people, not the anthem. Don't perpetrate the rhetoric conservatives/racists want to promote.

        Members of our military gave their lives so US can be a fair and just society. These players protesting the racial injustice , not the anthem. Trump knew he could get his based riled up about the Rich Black athletes and obscure the true issue

        It should cost every player who kneels. They are disrespecting our flag plus the men and women who fighting for us. If not these players might be making the big bucks😡

        No they are not. Racist may think that but only because they are not listening. They don’t want to talk about the REAL issue for the protest

        taking a knee to raise awareness is the perfect way to exercise freedom of speech - this is what our country stands for (even in the age of #Trump).

        That headline is misleading. They were NEVER protesting the anthem.

        As an @NFL GM this would be a huge red flag. I'd be looking for guys that loved playing football.

        Character important as well . Someone that ignore a major issue of his race just because it doesn’t apply to him , doesn’t have much

        So he'll make a wonderful Community organizer. I'd want someone that's main concern was shutting Gronk down that week.
