In San Francisco...
The Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions were among the other teams who had individual players kneel or remain seated during the national anthem.
The New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars kneeled before the anthem and then stood, while the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders collectively stood for the anthem.
Among the players to kneel or remained seated during the anthem were Seahawks defensive ends Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and Frank Clark; Lions linebackers Steve Longa and Jalen Reeves-Maybin; Bills fullback Mike Tolbert and cornerback Shareece Wright; and Dolphins tight end Julius Thomas, safety Michael Thomas and wide receiver Kenny Stills. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews, who said he would continue kneeling until Trump apologized, was not on the field for the anthem on Sunday.

Catalonia was an example of actual fascism and trump is a public official and should really have shit to say about private affairs of private employees in the NFL exercising their right to free speech. that's for private supporters to decide.

It would have been taking away from their message - a rather important one - and just making it about Trump.

Fighting for the flag is good, fighting for the Constitution is what Men are for.
Trump is no man.

Oh, hi
Can you tell me where in any time in history was there a populous country with a healthy, happy population and a growing economy that lived according to anything like your conservative libertarian ideology?

Agreed. A very few players took a knee or some other action in protest against cops brutalizing black people before Trump stepped in. The collective actions last week were not about that but a rebuke of the president's attacks on members of the brotherhood of profession football. Team owners who aren't very friendly to liberal politics were involved because it was in their interests to stand with the players rather than with Trump. After last week, it's more or less back to a relatively few resuming their protests against cop brutality on black people.
With about half of NFL fans completely missing the point of the player's protests, I don't think the owners are very happy about all of this. They just want the money to come flowing in. I have no idea what is going to happen next except the bosses will look out for their own interests.

Considering the left won't admit that people know exactly why the players protest, yet still boycott the NFL, is ironic.
I'd like to know who the little red devil on Trump's shoulder is. Someone had to tell him to do this. The media is playing right along. That one Steeler's guy isn't.
When you don't see anything wrong with either argument about kneeling and don't watch sports, it's very interesting to watch.
