Bunch of rich athletes protesting nonexistent grievances.
if I'm not a complete fucktard.
exactly as the Founding Fathers intended.
Helps if you include the work "black" rich athletes - makes it all the more palatable when screaming unpatriotic assholes for failing to stand for the anthem when hiding behind a draft deferment.
Will they have to bow before members of congress, the NFL owners and Potus as well ?
You just described congress, Potus and most state legislators.
Guess NFL owners finally realized that millionaire black guys complaining about oppression wasn't the marketing victory the Democrats claimed it would be.
Do we need more symbolism in this country ? Forced acts of patriotism which don't mean a thing.

The NFL is dead they are trying to salvage the brand but it will never happen.
They should have stayed with the All American Boy next door image.
Back to basics - what is the purpose of playing the anthem before sports games, races etc. ?
Going to guess that's a MAGA hat by the color
Don't think so, try looking up the history of the anthem and forced patriotism.
There would not be an "issue" if the people kneeling were white would there ?
It's funny how leftist are fine with conservatives being kicked off Twitter/Facebook/Youtube "because it's a private business", then totally do a 180 when it comes to the kneeling issue in the NFL.
Were the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles during the war Anti-American ?
Were the riots and demonstrations (sit down strikes etc.) at GM during the late 1930s Anti-American ?
Going to guess the Mother of all Anti-American riots was the Civil Rights Movement followed only by the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the Vietnam War Protestors who didn't support our troops ? Yes ? Close ? I think it's pretty close.

What's even more disrespectful than the act of kneeling is the decision to punish those who kneel. We are a nation of many stripes and colors. Our opinions and beliefs are varied, and our tolerance of those differences forms the bedrock of our identity as Americans.
Democrats: Twitter and Facebook, as private entities, should be free to censor, shadowban, and eliminate ordinary people's User accounts of unpopular speech.
Also Democrats: The NFL and their franchises, as private entities, has no business requiring their paid employees on company time to stand for the flag or stay in the locker room.
We all understand that the "kneeling" in public during a football game is to get attention paid to an issue where it would be ignored otherwi
Goran_K saysYou're kidding right?
Not in the least.
What issue would that be?
Not really. Since one group are Employees on Company Time, and the other group are ordinary people using a service.
The horrible oppression of 6 figure+ ball players, that people spit in cop's faces and get away with it, and that everybody is trying to storm into the USA for theAmeriKKKan Nazi Abusequality of life.
Look at everything they advertise on TV, is ANY OF IT worth having? .....My God, did you see what poisons are going into McDonalds fries?

Just remember, when Tim Tebow prayed, it caused Left Wing outrage
"How DARE you mix religion with the national pasttime!"

As a result the NFL announced it would punish religious displays on the field with fines/suspension.
Then a Muslim player did it, after the rules were changed, but the NFL bowed to Left Wing Outage and didn't pursue Penalties.
Now the Left Wing's attitude can be summed up as:
"Ban Non-Islamic Religious Sentiment displayed on the field, but allow extremist, divisive Political sentiment. But definitely no prayers to Jesus!"
