Draggingtree Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 offsides for the kneel-in View all posts from this blog By:William Murchison | September 27, 2017 Let's not stress out, shall we, while endeavoring to make sense of the fuss and foolishness over mass NFL boycotting of "The Star-Spangled Banner." That would be because the fuss and foolishness themselves make no sense: save as a window for viewing the lunacies of 21st century life. Are we a nation or a holding room for fifth-grade showoffs? The uninhibited juvenility that goes on all around us, dawn to dusk, makes heads spin in wonderment. That overcompensated athletes famous for neither moral nor historical understanding can reduce the nation to fingernail-chewing is the first worrying sign. Are we supposed to treat the Pittsburgh Steelers like the members of the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention—visionaries, keepers of the national conscience? Does free speech today mean telling Francis Scott Key to take a hike? https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/offsides-for-the-kneel-in/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ and Why Revisionist History Is Dangerous Those throwing a fit these days need to take a look back at how and why Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem in 1814 by Fr. George Rutler | Updated 27 Sep 2017 at 9:14 AM The current mania for tearing down statues and stifling free speech by cultural ingénues ignorant of history and logic has reached a stellar absurdity in the demands to censure “The Star-Spangled Banner” on lame claims that it is racist. If ignorance is bliss, then those who indulge their revisionism must be in Nirvana. Francis Scott Key penned the words in 1814, later set to an English song “To Anacreon in Heaven,” a tune that is a challenge to singers, as even Renéee Fleming confessed after performing it at the 2014 Super Bowl. http://www.lifezette.com/faithzette/star-spangled-banner-revisionist-history-dangerous/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 BREAK UP THE NFL’S CORRUPT DEM MONOPOLY Why it’s high time for the NFL to take a knee. September 26, 2017 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism. An Army recruit starts off with a salary under $20,000. Thousands of active duty military personnel are on food stamps. Millions of veterans rely on them to feed their families and themselves. That’s how we treat the best of us. Here’s how we treat the worst of us. An NFL rookie’s minimum salary is $465,000. And the majority of NFL players are usually bankrupt a few years after retirement because they blew through most of their money. Dozens of NFL players are arrested every year on charges ranging from murder to rape to animal abuse. 2017 was a banner year for the NFL with three times as many arrests as last year. Along with the usual drunk driving and disorderly conduct arrests, there were 7 arrests for assault/battery, 6 for drugs and 5 for domestic violence. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267970/break-nfls-corrupt-dem-monopoly-daniel-greenfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 10 minutes ago, Draggingtree said: Megyn Kelly Opines on NFL National Anthem Controversy --- and She's Dead On Hmmmm. For somebody that said she wasn't going to be political, she got political real fast. I disagree with her on this point. They are not doing this on their own time. The NFL is their employer. If the NFL says it is against 'Company' policy, to protest on company time, then is against company policy and they can hit the road if they don't like it. After all, they are all such outstanding citizens and super geniuses that they can qualify for a big bucks job anywhere right??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Here’s How Much Money the NFL Rakes in From Taxpayers The National Football League is now plunged into politics as players throughout the sport kneel for the national anthem and President Donald Trump continues to rebuke them publicly. Undoubtedly, the situation has left many fans and non-fans of the league conflicted or angry. This fiasco may, however, open the eyes of the public to a serious and generally unchecked issue: billionaire NFL owners sponging enormous amounts of money from taxpayers through crony capitalist schemes. The fact is that a business that raked in $14 billion in revenue in 2016 is heavily subsidized by local, state, and federal money based on dubious claims about stimulating the economy.

Geee Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 NFL player: Don't come to the game if our protest upsets you NFL players are sounding off about fans who are mad at them for kneeling during the national anthem. What they're saying is revealing. The Tennessean: Don't come to the game. That’s the message a couple of the Titans' star players have for any outraged fans threatening to turn their back on the team, after the Titans and Seahawks remained in the locker room during the national anthem before their game Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

Geee Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Why Dale Earnhardt Jr. Is Wrong To Call Anthem Protests On Company Time A ‘Right’ Racing giant Dale Earnhardt Jr. jumped into the political fray this week by posting a tweet opposing NASCAR owners who said they’d fire any employees who kneel during the national anthem. Follow Dale Earnhardt Jr. ✔ @DaleJr All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable-JFK 6:54 AM - Sep 25, 2017 Hundreds of thousands liked his tweet, praising him for pushing back against NASCAR’s “racism” and defying owners who echoed Donald Trump’s call for the National Football League to fire players who disrespect the flag. One of those owners was racing hall of famer Richard Childress, who has been Earnhardt’s car owner for years. He said any protest will “get you a ride on a Greyhound bus.” “Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in,” he told the Associated Press. “So many people gave their lives for it. This is America.” Owner and fellow Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty agreed, saying any protester who works for him will be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 NFL players are free to express themselves as long as it fits the PC narrative. By DrJohn 5 Comments Wed, Sep, 27th, 2017 Roger Goodell is a loathsome hypocritical dirtbag. It turns out that there are specific rules for decorum prior to NFL games. From WaPo: Here’s what the game operations manual says regarding the national anthem, according to an NFL spokesperson: 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. Note that this is NOT from the NFL rule book, but from the NFL operations manual, which is not available to the public. But worry not, millionaire snowflake football players, the NFL is not going to enforce the rules: http://www.floppingaces.net/2017/09/27/nfl-players-are-free-to-express-themselves-as-long-as-it-fits-the-pc-narrative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Trump: I Think NFL Owners Are Afraid of Their Players Thursday, President Donald Trump told "Fox & Friends" Pete Hegseth that he believes that the NFL's owners are too scared of their players to take any sort of action on the national anthem protests. Trump said that he's friends with many NFL owners, and that he's spoken to them about the protests. He said the owners are "in a box" and "afraid of their players," which Trump thinks is disgraceful. About 150 players did some sort of protest during the Star-Spangled Banner during last week's NFL games, and three teams stayed off the field for the anthem altogether. ______________________________________ I think this is very true- but they better start being afraid of their viewers. The viewers pay the bills, the players are 'takers'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flag "symbolizes all the blood, sweat and tears that have been shed so that we as Americans can raise our flag, across our nation," the LFL said in a video. http://www.chron.com/national/article/All-woman-football-league-responds-to-anthem-12234644.php?ipid=hpctp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 NFL risks billions in publicly funded stadiums as millionaire players stage kneeling protests American taxpayers shelled out billions of dollars to build the stadiums that National Football League players are now using to stage their kneel-down protests of the national anthem. The players say they have a right to express their displeasure with racism in the U.S. with their protests, but lawmakers say the NFL could be risking its access to the public trough if the team owners don’t get a grip on the situation. “These protests are spitting in the face of the people who paid for that stadium,” said state Rep. Steve Drazkowski, a Republican in Minnesota, where the NFL’s Vikings team just opened a stadium built with more than $500 million in local and state financial assistance. “It will create buyer’s remorse among the taxpayers.” With figures adjusted for inflation, Minnesotans will pay out nearly $1.3 billion over the next 30 years for the stadium.

Draggingtree Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Killing the NFL and Wearing Its Skin as a Jersey Member Victor Tango Kilo September 28, 2017 29 COMMENTS According to the way smarter and funnier than me David Burge, this is how the Progressive Left works: 1. Target a respected institution 2. Kill & clean it 3. Wear it as a skin suit, while demanding respect This is how the left operates. Public education was taken over by the left. Now, our kids are at the bottom of the pack in math and science, but they know all their transgender pronouns and can spout anti-Capitalist talking points like Hugo Chavez (or the Pope). Meanwhile, teachers demand society’s respect as the Priests and Priestesses of the Holy Temple of Education. They’re doing it to the Boy Scouts. All that old scout stuff about honor, patriotism, bravery … that’s what the left calls “Toxic Masculinity.” Now that the Scouts have knuckled under to the social justice warriors, their glidepath to becoming another left-wing indoctrination farm is all but assured. Jazz Shaw writes that this dynamic is really what’s behind the #TakeAKnee protests in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
