I don't think anybody is upset about the protest itself,but by what it means. It's disturbing to have people with such disdain for their country amongst you. Ita like they want to believe that they're picked on and hunted. Like they want to bury their heads in the sand because finding a solution to their cultures problems is too hard. They found a scapegoat, the police and Trump, It's their falt that the biggest danger to black folks is other black folks.

This is what the NFL rulebook says about the National Anthem.
The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.” ........

Millionaire crybabies?

The team owners are just the same, they should all give one year of their millions of dollars in earnings to help what ever in hell they think they are helping while acting stupid when the nations anthem is played.
the people that goes to watch the teams they represent are there to be entertained no to hear about political views.
Repercussions will follow.

Maybe they should protest 9/11, PRISM, CIA operations, FBI entrapment, how about the fractional reserve banking system....
You guys pretend like you can't be upset about more than one thing at a time. What a simpleton way of living.
"Protest police brutality,"
"WHY ARENT THEY PROTESTING THE HIGH COST OF MIIIIILK," is what you sound like.

They're protesting that Blacks are only 13% of the population, but they're forced by "the man" to commit 51% of the homicides in America.

That's not entirely true.
Those homicides are committed by mostly males so that's 6.5%
Then factor in age groups taking out kids and over 45 and you're left with 3% committing 51% of homicides.
