Ok first of all it's before the game not during the game, and secondly that Maserati they bought they got with money they earned and they work for someone who they've made enough money to by 1000 Maserati's -- what you think this is some sort of handout or charity or something? And who the hell are they insulting by protesting racial discrimination and police killing black people? What they insulting NeoNazi's or something? They're not asking for sympathy from you so you don't need foo find any.

But that has nothing to do with Trump saying the game should be more violent -- despite the fact all we know about the brain injury's it causes and such, or the false narrative Trump is spewing (which it seems you may of fallen for). Trump is falsely claimed that this is somehow a show of disrespect for our country and soldiers. Do you know about the veteran who gave Colin Kaepernick the idea to kneel in the first place? or what exactly the peaceful protest is about? Now secondly - before Trump came along with his stupid hate filled speech none of this had anything to do with Trump, did it? So then Trump says the owners should fire the players for doing this....sooo NOW when they protest, they're protesting him too. See that is a bit dictator-ish isn't it? See the problem here? And you want to complain about the NFL players -- you're ticked off at the wrong people for the wrong reasons I think.

Yes this type of thing has been going on since college sports turned into a big-buck business. The football coaches are the highest paid people at colleges instead of the educators -- has nothing to do with kneeling at the NFL games though.

...again this is has nothing to do with kneeling at the NFL games.
