Check out this winner brought to you from the Jeff Bezos/CIA sponsored Washington Compost, claiming the Russians are behind the NFL protests on the Anthem:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/lawmaker-russian-trolls-trying-to-sow-discord-in-nfl-kneeling-debate/2017/09/27/5f46dce0-a3b0-11e7-ade1-76d061d56efa_story.html?utm_term=.56a4415d5362 

So basically they took an old article, replaced the word election with NFL and said, yeah, lets go with this. LOL. MSM is so ridiculous.

Respect the flag.... it is that simple.....   why?  people gave their lives so we can have the privileges to have the rights that we have....   They still want to collect their money though but can not respect the ones who gave their lives so they can.....

I stand for the anthem when it is played but I won't spit on the constitution when someone is exercising their constitutional rights.

It's not their constitutional right to protest during the national anthem before a NFL game. This has been covered 521 times but democrats can't seem to grasp it.

If people did not fight and die and risk their lives there would be NO rights.... therefore it is a privilege to have these rights.... respect and honor those who allowed you to enjoy these rights.... That is why you stand and honor the stars and stripes......want to protest yet collect a paycheck? other ways to protest.... don't play then , but if I don't play I don't get paid so let me protest the symbol of my paycheck....   not to bright...

So let me get this straight ,some people served, some fought and some died to give these players the right to exercise their 1st amendment right to free speech but they are wrong to do it.And what in the world do paychecks have to do with it?And why would service members take an oath to "support and defend " the constitution if they didn't expect people to exercise their rights?

If it were not for them, we were not be having this way of life, the privileges we have....   sacrifices were made for us.....   its funny how people protest yet don't sacrifice....   go on hunger strike, player strike but that won't happen because it will effect them directly....   stay in locker room or something......

It's not their constitutional right to protest, during the national anthem, before n NFL game. 

The owners should fire them.

So what hours does  the constitution keep. I must have missed that part when I read it. Here the whole time I thought it was 24/7. Silly me.By the way I'm still looking forward for the 521 links.

Workplace rights and the Bill of Rights aren't the same thing. 

Democrats can't seem to grasp this simple fact.

NFL players can't wear pink cleats year round. 

Americans are free to pick the color of their shoes. 

See the difference?
