Why don’t both teams take a knee for 5 minutes before the kickoff, thereby delaying the game?

I say this not to tell them how to protest, but because I suspect those who claim the players are disrespecting the flag would still find a reason to concern-troll.

Maybe that would expose the hypocrisy and allow us to actually focus on the player’s message.

I’m wondering if Pence has gone to any more football games. He would be obligated to leave if any players took a knee, which means he pretty much doesn’t get to go to any more live football games. Unless he goes in disguise, but that might be difficult to do, with mother and a security detail along. Just wonder if anyone has caught him at any more games.

Why do they let prisoners play football anyway?

Seriously, how can there be any holdouts after what McNair said? I counted five players standing in a clip on Twitter.

Bowed head and holding hands with his teammates who are kneeling - I’m actually ok with that, though it would have been great if they all kneeled.

I was going to say much the same, but you said it better.

How many white players took a knee? We need the white guys to do it, too.

I see only one (#50) kneeling in the picture, but I also see only two standing. How many are on the team?

I have been standing up to conservatards who bitch about NFL players taking a knee, by noting that I am extremely offended by the fact that innocent unarmed American citizens are being gunned down in the streets by perpetrators who are allowed to get off scott-free.

I sometimes note that the victims are victims solely due to their skin color and that the perps go free solely because of the color of their clothes.
