Well, it looks like the NFL has given the “green light” for athlete activists to waste the public’s time and piss off their fans base with more social justice garbage.
Now, every player the league and their brother will be kneeling during the anthem…which is exactly why the league lost so many fans a couple of years ago.
These people don’t learn.
It’s so bad that Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien has announced he will take a knee with his players as has Cleveland Browns signal-caller Baker Mayfield.
The NFL seems to think that just because the MOB “says so” kneeling is somehow “okay” again.
No, that’s not at all how this works.

Well, I’m here to tell them that they’re wrong – and they’re going to enrage their fan base so bad this time around that they may never come back.
How do I know?
Well, the silent majority has once again spoken…loud and clear.
Remember that Hank Williams Jr. song “Take a Knee, Take a Hike” – well, it’s back with an absolute vengeance.
Country music mega-star Hank Williams Jr.’s original single, written to stand up to the NFL and athletes who disrespect the US flag, is feeling a resurgence this week.
Williams Jr. and tens of thousands or more NFL fans may no longer “be ready” for some football if, as expected, players in large numbers take a knee during the National Anthem.
The 2018 single called “Take a Knee, Take a Hike,” is trending up again and the patriotic-themed lyrics make his viewpoint abundantly transparent about those who want to use sporting events and venues to make political statements.
Oh, how we all love Monday night
When my song is done everyone’s so pumped and hyped
Some won’t stand for the anthem and that’s their right
Well, freedom isn’t free
Our military means our liberty
So if you’re gonna take a knee, take a hikeSo get behind the stars and stripes
Or just get the hell out and quit your gripe
So you got a long list of things that you don’t like
Well please do us a favor
All you America haters
If you’re gonna take a knee, take a hikeI’m afraid the NFL means ‘Not For Long’
If they don’t find a fix for what’s goin’ on
How about a new boss like Condoleezza Rice
Just say please do us a favor
All of you America haters…You can watch the video below:
Nothing has changed for the American people. You can feel terrible about how Mr.Floyd died without turning him into a martyr or playing social justice warrior.
The officer has been charged, let’s push and pray for justice, and any officers who need new guidelines and/or training should receive that quickly.
There’s no need for the entire country to be turned into a pile of smoldering ash and there’s no reason for our sports and entertainment to turn into an activist rally.
