I can't wait to see the amount of players who will be kneeling for the anthem tomorrow. That sight of unity will truly be great to witness.
What Colin Kapernick has started in the NFL and nationwide truly is legendary, and the vary people who tried to shut him up by keeping him off a NFL roster has made the matter better by making him a mayter and shining a brighter light onto the causes he's fighting for. It's remarkable. -
How about they not play?

The rebel flag and ? flag is the biggest disrespect to the flag.
Ppl that endorsed those flags right and killed ppl who stood behind the American flag.
White ppl are truly idiots. Truly -

http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/249685/nfl-players-respond-to-president-on-social-mediaPackers president Mark Murphy:
"It's unfortunate that the President decided to use his immense platform to make divisive and offensive statements about our players and the NFL. We strongly believe that players are leaders in our communities and positive influences. They have achieved their positions through tremendous work and dedication and should be celebrated for their success and positive impact. We believe it is important to support any of our players who choose to peacefully express themselves with the hope of change for good. As Americans, we are fortunate to be able to speak openly and freely." -

Curious to see if any Cowboys player has the nuts to kneel Monday night, despite Jerry Jones emphatically saying it wont happen on his team. I already know it wont be Dez.

Seahawks president Peter McLoughlin released this statement in response to President Donald Trump's comments: "We fully support our players' use of their freedom of speech and peaceful action to highlight the existing racial and other divides in our country. Our players completely respect the military and veterans of our country; however, they believe these issues need to come to the forefront."Cardinals coach Bruce Arians reacted Saturday to President Trump's comments made last night about how he thinks players who protest should be treated by NFL owners: "I thought the commissioner had a great statement and I agree with it. I’ve been in locker rooms for 25 years, and some of the most reputable men I’ve ever met wear that uniform and to even get to overcome the things in their life to get to the NFL is amazing. What they’ve done in the last month for hurricane relief victims speaks volumes of what we’re all about in the NFL. And I’ll just leave it in that."A statement from Steelers president Art Rooney II regarding Donald Trump comments:
"I believe the Commissioner made an appropriate statement, and I have nothing to add at this time."49ers CEO Jed York tweeted his response to President Donald Trump’s comments about the NFL on Saturday afternoon: “The callous and offensive comments made by the President are contradictory to what this great country stands for. Our players have exercised their rights as United States citizens in order to spark conversation and action to address social injustice. We will continue to support them in their peaceful pursuit of positive change in our country and around the world. The San Francisco 49ers will continue to work toward bringing communities, and those who serve, them closer together.”Statement from Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank following the comments from President Donald Trump: “We are at our very best when we are working together, building unity and including everyone’s voice in a constructive dialogue. Creating division or demonizing viewpoints that are different than our own accomplishes nothing positive and undermines our collective ability to achieve the ideals of our democracy. The NFL has historically been a strong catalyst for positive change and I’m proud of the way our players, coaches and staff use that platform to give back to our community and strive to be good citizens making a positive impact on this and future generations.”Raiders owner Mark Davis had no comment on Donald Trump saying NFL owners should fire a player who "disrespects" the American flag. Davis did, however, maintain his stance that he wished players would not protest while in uniform, though he would not punish players who did protest. "The Raiders have always stood for diversity and rights," Davis said last November, "but I just don't think they should protest while in uniform. This is not a police state. If there was an issue, come talk to me. Hell, I may go and stand up there with them."Statement from Chargers owner Dean Spanos on Donald Trump's comments regarding NFL player protests: "I wholeheartedly agree with the commissioner's statement. The NFL and its players, more than anything, have been a force for good. What our country needs right now is a message of unity, civility and mutual respect."Jaguars owner Shad Khan is in London with the team and spokesman Jim Woodcock said Khan would not have a separate statement regarding President Trump's recent comments about players that protest during the National Anthem. "Commissioner Goodell's statement speaks for Mr. Khan and the Jaguars," Woodcock said. Khan is one of seven NFL owners who donated $1 million to Trump. -
