NFL players stand  for "God save the Queen" and kneel for  "Star Spangled Banner"


 The NFL game played in London on September 24,2017, the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars  where players took knees during the US National anthem, yet stood for the British national anthem, "God Save the Queen," was an embarrassment to any patriotic American.  
Hall of fame football player
Ray Rice taking  2 knees
tells press he wasn't
protesting , but rather
praying. He said this
after he found out many
of his endorsements were about
to be taken away from him.


What does England think? What do other countries think of this blatant act of disrespect by U.S. Athletes?? I bet Isis is celebrating with high fives and grape juice!

The sad part is many of our soldiers watch these football games. How do you think our service men and woman stationed and watching from overseas and Afghanistan felt? Here they are fighting for our country and they see these disrespectful thugs kneeling for a sport they play and make millions for.  Thugs, that's right! Did you know on average there is an NFL (National Felon League,SIC) player arrested every 7 days?

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted on 09-24-17, "If only NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell cared as much about domestic abuse and traumatic brain injury as he does about disrespecting America."

An analogy that many NFL players may be able to comprehend. Comprehension is tough for many of them since many have suffered multiple concussions over their careers. Here goes; Kneeling for the anthem is the same as rooting against your team. When you kneel against the anthem and flag, the anthem and flag is basically your team, your team being your country, America.   How many players would kneel against their own football team? 
LeSean (Shady) McCoy
of the Buffalo Bills
displays a total
lack of respect for the United States
of America by stretching during
the National anthem prior to the
Denver Broncos game at
New Era stadium in
Orchard Park, N.Y.


How many NFL players would want their own team to loose a game? Similarly, when you take a knee during your country's national anthem on a world wide stage you are rooting against your country. 

Protest all you want on your own time. A good majority of us want our Sundays back without politics,  do your jobs, then go home and  be political all you want.


Maybe now the players can comprehend?

Please no snowflakes telling me I don't understand that America was founded on the right to protest, I get it? I was once a snowflake myself until I melted and  became a deplorable.One definition of deplorable is unforgivable, so yes, I am unforgiving to all the disrespect I have seen around the National Football league in reference to our flag and the national anthem.

I also get you don't root or vote against your team,(country) that's being a rat, a traitor, even  treason. 


I don't agree with everything President  Trump says, however I agree these  players kneeling and stretching during the US national anthem should be fired, plenty of guys willing to play for a fraction of what these multi millionaires make. 

God help America

P.S. 
I DIDN'T WRITE THIS BUT I, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS AGREE ...
This letter says it all, please take the time to read it....
An open letter to the NFL players,
You graduated high school in 2011. Your teenage years were a struggle. You grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Your mother was the leader of the family and worked tirelessly to keep a roof over your head and food on your plate. Academics were a struggle for you and your grades were mediocre at best. The only thing that made you stand out is you weighed 225 lbs and could run 40 yards in 4.4 seconds while carrying a football. Your best friend was just like you, except he didn’t play football. Instead of going to football practice after school, he went to work at McDonalds for minimum wage. You were recruited by all the big colleges and spent every weekend of your senior year making visits to universities where coaches and boosters tried to convince you their school was best. They laid out the red carpet for you. Your best friend worked double shifts at Mickey D’s. College was not an option for him. On the day you signed with Big State University, your best friend signed paperwork with his Army recruiter. You went to summer workouts. He went to basic training.
You spent the next four years living in the athletic dorm, eating at the training table. You spent your Saturdays on the football field, cheered on by adoring fans. Tutors attended to your every academic need. You attended class when you felt like it. Sure, you worked hard. You lifted weights, ran sprints, studied plays, and soon became one of the top football players in the country. Your best friend was assigned to the 101stAirborne Division. While you were in college, he deployed to Iraq once and Afghanistan twice. He became a Sergeant and led a squad of 19 year old soldiers who grew up just like he did. He shed his blood in Afghanistan and watched young American's give their lives, limbs, and innocence for the USA.
You went to the NFL combine and scored off the charts. You hired an agent and waited for draft day. You were drafted in the first round and your agent immediately went to work, ensuring that you received the most money possible. You signed for $16 million although you had never played a single down of professional football. Your best friend re-enlisted in the Army for four more years. As a combat tested sergeant, he will be paid $32,000 per year.
You will drive a Ferrari on the streets of South Beach. He will ride in the back of a Blackhawk helicopter with 10 other combat loaded soldiers. You will sleep at the Ritz. He will dig a hole in the ground and try to sleep. You will “make it rain” in the club. He will pray for rain as the temperature reaches 120 degrees.
On Sunday, you will run into a stadium as tens of thousands of fans cheer and yell your name. For your best friend, there is little difference between Sunday and any other day of the week. There are no adoring fans. There are only people trying to kill him and his soldiers. Every now and then, he and his soldiers leave the front lines and “go to the rear” to rest. He might be lucky enough to catch an NFL game on TV. When the National Anthem plays and you take a knee, he will jump to his feet and salute the television. While you protest the unfairness of life in the United States, he will give thanks to God that he has the honor of defending his great country.
To the players of the NFL: We are the people who buy your tickets, watch you on TV, and wear your jerseys. We anxiously wait for Sundays so we can cheer for you and marvel at your athleticism. Although we love to watch you play, we care little about your opinions until you offend us. You have the absolute right to express yourselves, but we have the absolute right to boycott you. We have tolerated your drug use and DUIs, your domestic violence, and your vulgar displays of wealth. We should be ashamed for putting our admiration of your physical skills before what is morally right. But now you have gone too far. You have insulted our flag, our country, our soldiers, our police officers, and our veterans. You are living the American dream, yet you disparage our great country. I am done with NFL football and encourage all likeminded Americans to boycott the NFL as well.

P.S.S.
Here are some fun facts about the hypocrites over at the NFL:
In 2012, the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his blackout to avoid glare and made him take it off.
In 2013, the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.
In 2014, Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.
In 2015, DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure" eye black for breast cancer awareness.
In 2015, William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem...)
In 2016, the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.
In 2016, the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression???
Feel free to copy and paste, I did!

NFL = "National Felon League" Over paid, under educated, and disrespectful of the very country that is responsible for their outrageous earnings! Get these spoiled jerks out of our country if they won't stand for our American Flag and anthem. Football is a farce, boycott the sponsors and the teams. Shame on them for insulting every American!

Kit Ellison said...

One player last month went to his knee because he had just heard his brother was killed in Iraq. He was praying for his brother and others who were injured or had fallen. That is understood, I might have done so myself. The rest need to be fired and sent to play ball with Isis!!!
