        Fact is way more people are mad about the kneeling than approve of it. Get over your high and mighty selves and realize right or wrong that most fans want players to stand.

        Ah capitalism, isn’t it great? Fans don’t want to see political garbage with their sports. It’s really that simple. 168 hours in a week. Choose a different time and place.

        @NFL #missingthepoint, if you don't stand for your rights, you'll fall for any injustice!

        If you can't force kids to stand for the pledge in school, this would be illegal as well. Refer to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_State_Board_of_Education_v._Barnette … andhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/227 …

        No other sport has this issue & they play many more games. If u want to protest that’s fine but u don’t need to do it at the expense of the flag or anthem. Owners have agreed to provide $90 million over 9 years for players to fight social injustices, that’s called a good start

        Police brutality was a sham cause that was not a real issue for anyone who looked at the statistics.

        You can't tell others why they are protesting. Sorry. You can't.
