They are all kneeling now just to piss off Trump because of what he said. Too funny. You guys realize that right? Lol. Put your boy in check and more people will stand. There was like 10 people total kneeling..... now Trump made it 100x that.
What do you expect people to do after Trump said that? I am surprised not more white people took a knee after that honestly. But they did the locked arms thing.....we'll see today.
Anything that pisses off racists, I love it.

NFL Broadcasting Stocks Slump As Protests Rise And TV Ratings Fall

During the past month the overall stock market is up more than 2% but shares of companies that broadcast NFL games--Comcast, Walt Disney, Fox, CBS--are all down between 1% to 8%.
The NFL is now a hotbed of protests--a carry over from last year that began when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting during the National Anthem, to protests this year by those who feel Kaepernick, who is without a team, is being unfairly treated by by the league, to a stronger push by some players for an increase in NFL social activism.
Towards the end of last season some felt the NFL's ratings dip would be temporary and therefore would not ultimately hurt the networks by forcing them to reimburse advertisers. Instead, the opposite has happened.
Ratings for the the NFL have been worse this season and attendance for some games has also been disappointing. The networks will pay over $5 billion this season to televise the NFL and were already facing unflattering margins on advertising profits. An article in The Hollywood Reporter reckons the drop in NFL ratings could trim the broadcaster's earnings by $200 million. Disney's ESPN, meanwhile, also continues to get hammered by cord-cutting.
It's just two weeks into the 2017 NFL season. But the trend is not good for the league and its networks. No one seems happy.

Colin Kaepernick is the Jim Comey of the NFL - he knew he was going to get sacked, so he caused a shit storm for his own self-preservation. And the idiot sheep BLM players who don't know any better have decided to follow him straight off the cliff.
It is like dating a hot chick. Most guys will put up with a headcase if she's smokin' HOT, but as soon as her looks fade that same girl becomes a lonely crazy old cat lady.
Words can't describe the self-sabotaging idiocy we are witnessing.

Dear Mr. Trump...
Dear Mr. President,
Please...
DO something about employment.
DO something about healthcare.
DO something about national security.
DON'T worry about the NFL.
DON'T worry if the NBA champs are going to visit.
DON'T tweet like some 13-year-old girl.
You are President of the United States. Start acting like it. DO SOMETHING.
Thanks for your time.
