Are You Sure You Want to Make Football About Politics Too? UPDATED: That's Why They Call It Soldier Field

You May Not Like That Play 

1.) Kaepernick was offered nearly a million to play this year but chose rabble-rousing over showcasing his mediocre talent. His other mediocre talent, I mean.

2.) Wait 'til the other players realize he's costing them money.

3.) What if your dentist told you he couldn't work until you listened to him rant first?

4.) If players want to make comments off the field or write op-eds, that's one thing. But they are hijacking a public event that other people are invested in for their own private purpose.  Everybody in the stadium, in America, has some beef with society. Should we all just sit down? There goes one more act of unity when we can't spare any.

5.) The Talking Heads who dislike President Trump's suggestion about firing all tried to get Officer Darren Wilson fired, even jailed--an innocent man, defending himself. And many of them incited the murder of police. Nor did they mind when the IRS was quashing dissent.

6.) Roger Goodell is a virtue-signaling vulture. He had no problem with a Salute to the Black Panthers and bashed North Carolina for their Bathroom Bill, but he doesn't send his own kids where they'll have to shower with men. Nor has he opened up NFL stadium bathrooms to all comers. But it's good enough for your wives and daughters.

7.) I'm down to watching hometeam games only. And if they start protesting, I'll pull the plug on that, too.

If you de-fun football, we'll defund you. We're not playing anymore.

Are you?


A62-63 League Game Operations Manual:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Figures: Just like The Swamp, they don't live by their own rules.

"If you guys really think #Resisting the National Anthem is the way to go, I'm all for it.

I never want you to win another election."

UPDATE: That's Why They Call It Soldier Field:

Were there even enough fans in the stands to "boo" them?


While his teammates hid like little girls, only one Steeler, Former Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva stands up for America.
