Honestly I don't have a problem with them kneeling. I don't really see how that is "protesting". Sitting on the bench? Yeah, that comes across as being a spoiled brat. But kneeing and staying silent during the anthem? I just don't understand how that's "protesting". It's become a fad now, though, and is just stupid to see. But I'm not outraged by it like other folks. These are the same folks that sit on their couch or do something different at home when the anthem is on. So they lose credibility with me instantly with their hypocrisy.

Why don't they take some of their millions and actually do sometime besides sit down and insult our nation and our flag? They have free-speech but its the working class patriotic americans that pay the bills and if they go too far ..they can go get a real job as they destroy the NFL ...because me and millions of others are not going to watch these clowns continue to disrespect our flag
Legendary entertainer Wayne Newton weighed in on the handful of NFL players, led by 49ers second-string quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who are disrespecting the American flag and everything it stands for by refusing to sit during the National Anthem.
He had a message for them if they don't like America, "Get the h--- out!" said during a Monday appearance on FOX & Friends.
“I think every American has the right to say anything whatever it is that freedom offers us. However, during the National Anthem is not a time or a place to show that kind of thing,” Newton said. “And I have no tolerance at all for it. And I support their right to say what they believe and how they believe it but that’s the wrong place and time,” he declared.

I agree with you with the first sentence. They feel "oppressed" but have no problem taking millions from the employers of this country that make them " oppressed". Going back to the whole kneeling thing, though, I noticed a lot of athletes still had their right hands over their hearts, eyes closed, and other acts of respect. How is kneeling disrespectful if they are quiet during the anthem, they have their right hand over their heart, eyes closed, and some even mouthing the lyrics? It's one thing to just sit on the bench like a spoiled brat. But the situations I just provided show no sign of disrespect to me. Just my opinion. So Honestly, I really believe this a media thing. Making it more than it is to distract us from something bigger behind the scenes. Which isn't that much of a surprise, because that's what they do.

Those emojis are exactly how I feel when watching the Dolphins. I'm so over losing to the Patriots....and everyone else who ever played the game...ever. (Disclaimer: no this, of course, does not include the time period when the 72' Dolphins were dominating football)
Literally getting more frustrated as I watch this Miami - NE game...
