For those of you who are following the NFL protests, here is some information. I have been able to determine that the following NFL teams did not have players kneeling during the national anthem this last weekend: Vikings, Bears, Packers, Jets, Saints, Jaguars, Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Panthers, Patriots, Falcons, Bengals, Browns, Cowboys, and Rams. However, the Cowboys did stand with locked arms during the anthem. I have also determined that the following teams did have players kneeling during the national anthem in protest: Bills, Dolphins, and Lions. I have not been able to get information on the other NFL teams at this time.
Just for your information, I am very opposed with the political posturing and protests by the NFL players because I see it as total disrespect for our country, and even less respect for all of the dedicated soldiers who have died defending our country. If you don't love our country, then why don't you get out!!! It is absurd for NFL players who are making millions of dollars simply because of the opportunities available in this country to demonstrate such disrespect. Personally, any team that I know that has players demonstrating from now on are on my do-not-support-or-attend list for at least a year, and I encourage everyone who feels similarly to also vote with your pocketbook. If these grossly overpaid athletes have to pay for their expressed disrespect, just maybe they may learn how to be a little humble and appreciative!
