Colin Kapernick seems to be building a coalition within the NFL as other athletes like the Broncos’ Brandon Marshall who took a knee [btw he just lost a sponsor] and it’s rumored the Seattle Seahawks team will not be standing for the National Anthem at their game on 9/11. (Do we even have to say how disrespectful that will be if the team follows through?!)

If the US is so bad why are they all here? What I said to Kapernick, that he can get the hell out, applies to anyone really who agrees with him thinking the US is oppressive. It’s so oppressive here these guys can act like complete jerks disrespecting our nation while being paid millions to play a game! Nice to know these players support a cause, Black Lives Matters, which is a communist backed group. A group who conveniently leaves out the fact those who they are protesting on behalf of are/ were criminals… then again the truth never seems to matter anymore to the left.
There is a simple solution to this spurt in anti-American sentiment coming from NFL athletes who support Kaepernick. The question is do all of you football fans, offended by what is going on, have the balls to BOYCOTT the NFL? This means not attending games, watching them on tv (incl purchasing special game packages from tv providers), buying jerseys, trading cards and various memorabilia? It also means going after advertisers and sponsors (ie Nike, Under Armor, Gatorade etc), putting it to them for supporting athletes who show disrespect to our nation.
Money talks, if you want to send a clear message to the NFL best way to do it is by hitting them in the wallet.
