Even the singer of the Anthem took a knee!

Meghan Linsey, the singer performing “The Star-Spangled Banner" at Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans game in Nashville, took a knee on a field with no players present after finishing her rendition of the national anthem.

How I hope that the rebellion against the NFL seen on SigForum is seen throughout the country. This stuff is just anti-American, there's no other interpretation in my opinion.
I look forward to hearing what happens to attendance and ratings.

The Left has politicized everything. You can't escape it going to movies, watching TV, going to a concert, going to a football game.

“As a team, we have decided we will not participate in the national anthem. We will not stand for the injustice that has plagued people of color in this country. Out of love for our country and in honor of the sacrifices made on our behalf, we unite to oppose those that would deny our most basic freedoms. We remain committed in continuing to work towards equality and justice for all.

Respectfully, The Players of the Seattle Seahawks.”

Dear Redskins,

I have been a lifelong diehard Redskins fan, attending games since the 80's. Thanks to your players kneeling I will not attend a single game this year, I will not buy anything with the Redskins logo on it or that contributes to the Redskins bottom line in any way. You are playing with fire by allowing your players to protest the National Anthem. You are quite likely to burn yourself in the process. Maybe you should take a clue from Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. That is how a real true American handles a situation like this. Mr. Snyder you are the adult in the room, take control of your team.

Sitting during the National Anthem is not standing up against anything. Don't be a coward. Tell your employees if they want to stay on the team to stand at attention during the singing of the National Anthem. This is the way you show unity.

If you want to protest, I'm fine with that. Protest any way or time that you or your players feel fit, other than the hour over the 16 game season it takes to sing the Anthem. That leaves 364 days and 23 hours to protest without spitting in the face of those that died protecting the flag or folks like me who just plain love America.

Any money I may have spent on games or merchandise this year is off of the table. It remains to be seen if I turn off the TV too. I counted six people kneeling down during the Anthem, please tell your players they are pissing off the fans that pay their (and your) paychecks.

Thank you,

Jesse

The Jerry Jones stuff isn't true. I've seen at least two versions of his so-called statement. They appear to be made up.
