Multiple Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars players knelt on Sunday during the playing of the national anthem at the first NFL game since President Trump called for players who take a knee to be fired.

Video and photos posted to Twitter shows players kneeling and locking arms as the anthem played.

Trump has faced backlash in recent days from after calling on NFL owners to fire players who kneel during the national anthem.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now,'" Trump said at a rally in Alabama on Friday. "'He is fired.'"

Trump’s comments brought rebukes against Trump from multiple NFL players, the head of the NFL players’ union and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who called Trump’s comments “divisive” and said they showed a “lack of respect for the NFL.”

Several NFL executives have also spoken out against Trump and reaffirmed their players’ rights to peacefully protest.

But Trump on Sunday doubled down on his comments, calling for players to be fired or suspended for not standing during the national anthem and hitting the NFL for not telling players to stand.
If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!

...NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S.

Poster Comment:



I did my best to get those Twitter pics to show here.

Notice that "Shad Khan" (what a cute nickname), the Jaguars owner is a Paki immigrant and Sunni Muslim who joined his team in publicly disrespecting our country.

Notice that they traveled overseas to disrespect our flag and anthem. But both teams stood for the British anthem!

A little reminder.

Breitbart: NFL Denies Dallas Cowboys’ Request to Honor Fallen Police with Helmet Decal, 8/11/16

The National Football League has denied a request by the Dallas Cowboys for players to wear a sticker on their helmets to show support for the Dallas Police Department that lost five officers in one terrible attack last month.

The “Arm In Arm” decal was to have been worn when the team opens its preseason schedule during the upcoming bout with the Los Angeles Rams.

But Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told the media that NFL officials said every team “must be uniform” and the stickers were nixed. Jones said the team will “respect their decision” and drop the plans to show support for the Dallas PD.

The idea for the sticker was spearheaded by Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. The team had hoped the decals would help them stand side-by-side with the police after a gunman murdered five officers during an ambush and shootout. On July 7, shooter Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed Dallas police as a Black Lives Matter protest march wound down, killing five and injuring nine others.

. . .

A bit more:

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has been getting drilled over a graphic image he shared on social media — a disturbing illustration that depicts a hooded man slitting a police officer’s throat.

The NFL player has since apologized and removed his post, but the Internet archived it — as the web does.

. . .

The NFL was more measured in an official response to the post. “The image was inappropriate and insensitive,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told TheWrap via email. “He realized this, took down the post and has since apologized.”

The Browns’ reaction was harsher, however, calling the post “extremely disturbing,” “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”

Here’s the club’s full statement: “We have spoken to Isaiah regarding his extremely disturbing and unacceptable social media decision. It was completely inappropriate and we have made him aware of our high level of disappointment. Isaiah has apologized but also knows that just an apology is insufficient and that he must take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post.”

According to to Cleveland.com, Crowell’s post went live after two African-American men — Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — were fatally shot by police, but before five police officers were killed in Dallas on Thursday night.

Isaiah Crowell

People working real jobs have been fired for less grievous "mistakes". "Sorry" don't hack it, especially when everyone knows he's not. Fire his black ass.

You'd feel better if white said "fire his white ass"?

Did you post that while you were #TakingAKnee or something?

Polling from Friday on the NFL protests.

Rasmussen: 34% Are Less Likely to Follow NFL Because of Protests, 9/22/17

If you read it all, the reaction wasn't terribly strong but it was there. This poll was done before Trump's sonofabith remark and the current firestorm. So we have a baseline poll here to compare to when Rasmussen polls it again, probably next weekend.
