Capitol Police stop patriotic singing of children inside US Capitol where AOC was killed on Jan 6

Washington, D.C. -- In spite of Rushingbrook Children's Choir having secured permission from three congressional offices to sing the national anthem in our nation's capital, United States Capitol Police on Tuesday, bravely stepped in and stopped their performance just in the nick of time. After all, just because SC Reps William Timmons and Joe Wilson, along with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, had given them written permission, that does not eliminate the possibility that the kids had an ulterior motive, such as advocating for the USA. How dare they!

The video shows a man, possibly a Russian operative, approaching the Choir Director and speak directly into his ear while the singers looked on in confusion right before they were ordered to cease and desist. 

In the video, a man can be seen approaching the Choir Director, and speaking into his ear, as the singing children looked on in confusion before they were directed to cease singing.

The national anthem of the United States of America was cut off just before its most memorable line: 

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's may be the case that the US Capitol Police chief was told that the anthem offends the LGBTQ+1~BM community, BLM, Antifa, and progressive Democrats.

What a crock!

A representative from the choir was told that "certain Capitol police said it might offend someone/cause issues." pic.twitter.com/3J8BSBsBSu

So who could it really offend? Vladimir Putin? Ilhan Omar? Rashida Tlaib? Alexandria Obviously-Commie? Ayanna Pressley? David Duke? Al Sharptongue? The graduating class of Hunter College Law School?

Rushingville Children’s Choir is a Greenville, South Carolina-based Christian group. Its website conveys the religious mission of the young vocalists:

To awaken and develop in Christian young people their God-given musical ability, to nurture a sense of artistry in singing, and to do all for the glory of God.

No wonder they were told to stop singing--the left hates Christians.

If anyone is offended by the Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem, they should consider moving to a nation they believe is better than ours. Russia can use a few good commies.

As Brittney Griner languishes in Russian prison, her anti-National Anthem Comments live on

WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner said the national anthem should not be payed before WNBA games because it somehow offended her. She swore to protest if it was played. “I honestly feel we should not play the National Anthem during our season,” she told AZ Central in 2020. “I think we should take that much of a stand.”

“I don’t mean that in any disrespect to our country,” she said. “My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years. I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.” Just not in our National Anthem/

“I’m going to protest regardless,” Griner added, long before her arrest. “I’m not going to be out there for the National Anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that’s fine. It will be all season long, I’ll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself.”

And so she and her teammates took a knee when the Star Spangled Banner was played .

You know what--Griner probably doesn't hate the United States. She's just another mindless sheep with her head up the butt of the sheep in front of her in the herd. And that sheep whose butt is being followed by Griner has her head up the butt of Colin Kaepernick, the premier detractor of the greatest nation on earth.

Griner was sentenced this month to nine and a half years in a Russian prison for possession of cannabis oil. She knew the Russian laws about drugs--it wasn't as if she hadn't been there before.

Her comments about the anthem resurfaced online after sentencing.

Tomi Lahren, a political commentator, mocked Griner: 

On the bright side, B Griner won’t have to endure our National Anthem for 9 whole years! What a win for her!

Sure, it was kind of a cruel thing to say, but you can understand how her previous behavior can anger conservatives and people such as Tomi Lahren who call themselves conservative but are pro-abortion. 

Fellow Phoenix Mercury player Brianna Turner, who also disrespects the American flag and the National Anthem, on August 4, the day Griner was sentenced, defended Griner.

“I would love to individually respond and annihilate every negative viewpoint I receive but that would be a waste of my time,” Turner posted online. “At the end of the day many people lack compassion & critical thinking skills and it’s not my responsibility to teach that. Respectfully, get a life trolls.”

One has to respect Turner's loyalty to her teammate. But it isn't a lack of compassion for Griner that her detractors are showing: it's their respect for the country and how the view Griner's past behavior along with that of Turner's, who, in responding to the anti-Griner messages added in her post,  "I know many Americans lack compassion due to all the chaos … that happens regularly in our country.” She couldn't help but get in a ding to the nation.

Before Griner was sentenced, the 6-foot, 9-inch WNBA star told the court she never meant to break any laws and made an “honest mistake.”

Really? She didn't know the laws of Russia? She simply took it for granted they would allow medical marijuana into their country without checking?

On the other hand, nobody deserves to serve nine years in prison for what she did. But on the other hand, why are we thinking about handing over Viktor Bout, a known terrorist in her place along with one other American, former Marine, Paul Whelan, when it's clear that more lives will be endangered, possibly killed, if we hand Bout over.

I hope Griner and Whelan are freed, but I don't think it should be with this deal when one uses "critical thinking," as Brianna Turner says we lack.

Brittney Griner suddenly stands for America

Brittney Griner returned to a Russian courtroom Tuesday and her defense team is claiming she uses marijuana to treat pain. She was caught with marijuana vape cartridge with CBD oils in it at a Moscow airport in February and has since been languishing in a Russian prison. She pleaded guilty to the drug possession charge but said she didn't intentionally break Russia's anti-drug laws. She faces up to ten years in prison.

Griner is one of the tallest WNBA basketball players, standing at 6 feet 9 inches tall.

Griner came to the forefront of public attention in 2020, after she voiced her opposition to the playing of the National Anthem before WNBA games. She and many of her teammates also began kneeling while it was played because Colin Kaepernick, a mediocre NFL football player used the same ploy to try boosting his career.

But Griner also has a spotty past. In 2015 the WNBA suspended her and her ex-wife, Glory Johnson, for seven games after the not-so loving couple got into a domestic dispute. They were both later arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

In 2020, Griner faced suspension for an on-court brawl she had gotten into, and during the George Floyd riots, she and her teammates refused to take the floor for a preseason game which was eventually canceled.

She had this to say: "I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand." She also said that she "does not believe that the national anthem should be played at sporting events"

But that was then.

Several days prior to Griner's guilty plea, she wrote to our so-called President Joe Biden (D) begging him to use his apparent power to get her butt out of jail and back home where she is free to kneel for the National Anthem once again and beat up on her wife.

In her letter, she wrote in part, “On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father, who is a Vietnam war veteran. It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year.”

Griner’s defense argued she used  medical marijuana to treat pain from injuries like many other professional athletes. But medical marijuana is against Russian law and Griner should have researched that before traveling there, after all, it isn't as if there exists no pain treatment alternatives.

"With the prescription in place, Brittney may have used it for medical but not recreational purposes," her lawyer Maria Blagovolina said in court, as per Reuters.

Another hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Thursday the U.S. laws legalizing cannabis in some states have no bearing on what happens in Russia. 

"You understand, if drugs are legalized in the United States — in a number of states — and this is done for a long time, and now the whole country will become drug addicted. This does not mean that all other countries are following the same path," Zakharova said.

Russian media has speculated that Griner could be exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is imprisoned in the U.S. Russian authorities have said that no swap could take place until Griner is sentenced.

A Russian court has authorized Griner’s detention until Dec. 20.

Subpar QB Kaepernick agrees to go on NFL slave trading block

Colin Kaepernick

Former NFL slave, multi millionaire, cop-hating, kneeling for the national anthem scumwafer, Colin Kaepernick, wants to become a slave once again, because the first time he didn't suck enough. I know that may sound harsh but he deserves every word of it.

Kaepernick will once again participate in a throwing a football job interview with the University of Michigan's spring game. He thanked the team for making him "honorary captain," while others have a less flattering opinion of the guy who wore "pig" socks depicting America's law enforcement as such.

The suck-worthy Kaepernick last played in the NFL in 2016, when men were men and women were women. The NFL Network reported that the floundering QB will be throwing a football to draft-eligible players at halftime and NFL team personnel will view his performance.

In March, Kaepernick said he's still "hopeful" to get the chance to be enslaved to an NFL team and, for the second time after he was out of football, will try to throw a football to prove that he doesn't suck like last time. He said the recently spoke with Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider. If they enslave him to the team, he hopes to lead them to get off his knee and lead them on the gridiron. 

Hopefully Kaepernick gets what he deserves, not what he wants.

DeAnna Price breaks 80 meter barrier hammer throw at Olympic trials; 3rd place finisher tries to steal the show

Eugene, Oregon -- DeAnna Price has won the women's hammer throw at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials -- Track & Field, in Eugene, Oregon with a monster toss of 236 feet, 2 inches, (80.31 meters) breaking her own American record. She has broken the meet record twice and the American record twice to land her on her second Olympic team and the podium along with Brooke Anderson's 255 feet 2 inch (77.72) toss.

All five of Price's legal throws would have won the competition but it was the fifth heave that set the American record. She is just the second woman ever to throw the 8.8 pound (4 kg) ball-and-chain beyond 262 feet (80 meters). The reigning world record-holder is Anita Włodarczyk of Poland with a toss of 272 feet, 3 inches (82.98 meters) and she has 18 of history's 20 longest throws. 

Price now holds the number 7 performance in the world.

After the event and the traditional Star Spangled Banner was being played, the distant third place finisher, Gwendolyn Berry, refused to face the American flag, and tried to steal the show with a self-indulgent attempt of righteous indignation toward the country, a country that allows such childish displays without punishment. She prepared for her childish display by bringing a tee shirt that read: "Athlete Activist" and holding it over her head.

Meanwhile, Price and Andersen held their hand to their hearts and showed respect to the nation they represent and who support them.

Berry will probably get a Chinese Nike endorsement 

“Berry placed third in the hammer throw on Saturday, qualifying her for the Tokyo Olympics. As the National Anthem began to play with the winners standing on the podium, Berry turned away from the flag so that she was facing the stands,” The Daily Wire reported. “Toward the end of the anthem, she pulled up a black t-shirt with the words ‘Activist Athlete’ on the front to cover her head.”

Her garbage display caused an uproar on social media. Many people wondered why this ungrateful person would want to represent a country she scorns. Others suggested that Berry be thrown off Team USA and not allowed to compete in the Olympics over the protest.

“Then don’t compete on behalf of the U.S. in competition. Fairly simple,” conservative radio host Dana Loesch said.

Anyway, let's take the focus off of this person and wish Perry and Andersen all the best in Tokyo and let sour Berry to her own devices.

Georgetown losers and coach kneel for National Anthem

The entire men's basketball team of Georgetown University [Go Scum Muffins!] went down on a knee along with their loser coach before the playing of the national anthem in the NCAA tournament in which they lost to Colorado on Saturday.

Coach Patrick Ewing along with the team can be seen going to their knees on the court, arms linked, and making the world a better place in their minds. 

Anyway, the anti-anthem players got their asses handed to them with the score of 96 to 73. At least we won't have to see them in the next round, but I must confess, I could care less about NCAA basketball and March Madness--it's all hype.

National anthem kneeling began when a mediocre quarterback in the NFL named Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the anthem in 2016. He claimed the kneeling was due to widespread oppression of black people in the United States, in spite of there being no evidence that oppression of black people is widespread. The more likely explanation for the demonstration is that Kaepernick was going to be cut from the team from which he increasingly sucked.

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said at the time, refusing to do anything more than kneel and complain. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

The bodies in the street are statistically much more likely to have been put there by other Black people than by police or by White people. But this sad fact is never revealed by race hustlers and virtue signalers like Kaepernick. 

I recall a time years ago when then-New York Knicks player Patrick Ewing stood behind me in line at JFK International Airport waiting to get his boarding pass. The ticket clerk called him to her counter and allowed him and his son to jump the line and board ahead of the rest of us peons. If that isn't racist oppression, I don't know what to call it.

True story.

Relatively good US Soccer player Megan Rapinoe calls the White House a bad word

U.S. women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe was interviewed in a video posted by Eight by Eight's on Tuesday. She was asked about accepting an invitation from President Trump to the White House if the U.S. team wins the World Cup.

“I’m not going to the f***ing White House,” Rapinoe responded in that slutty way she has, when asked about the possible invite. “No. I’m not going to the White House.”

The forward added that she doubts the women's team would be invited if they win it all. “We’re not gonna be invited. I doubt it,” she said speaking for the team without their permission.

Rapinoe grabbed headlines for disrespecting the national anthem by refusing to place her hand over her empty heart or sing along with the anthem before games. So, she doesn't merely dislike the President and the White House, she also doesn't like the national anthem and by that analysis, she probably doesn't care very much for the country that has given her the freedom to hate all those things openly.

But she claims her protest was an "F you" to "sexist," "racist," and "small-minded" President Trump.

On the issue of small-minded, Rapinoe was asked if she ever watched Fox News, Daily Wire, Louder with Crowder or any right-leaning blog such as Brain Flushings. She laughed, threw back her natural purple hair, and flipped the bird. "Of course not. I've never watch any of that crap. They're racist, sexist, homophobic and Islamophobic. Why would I watch them?" she asked.

"To see whether or not it's true," the interviewer said.

"F*** you too," came the soccer player's response.

Regarding the issue of putting her hand over her empty heart, the soccer player said, “I feel like it's kind of defiance in and of itself to just be who I am and wear the jersey, and represent it. Because I'm as talented as I am, I get to be here, you don't get to tell me if I can be here or not,” Rapinoe, who is openly and obviously gay, said, hinting at her gayness and how she hates men and prefers having sexual relationships with fellow lesbians.

Asked about Rapinoe’s protest by The Hill on Monday, Trump said the soccer player's actions were inappropriate. But he still heaped praise on the women’s team: "I love watching women's soccer," he told the outlet. "They’re really talented and they sure can kick a ball into that thing on the other end of the field. And those uniforms . . . boy oh boy, those uniforms."

Rapinoe has every right to not honor the flag, the anthem and the president, and that is why she should, or at least realize that she lives in the greatest country in the world.

She's an idiot, and I can say that . . .  unless Google shuts me down.

NFL player angry he's not being covered by media during his National Anthem protest

His number does not matter

A football player on the Miami Dolphins, whose name I will not mention just to further piss him off, is upset with the media because they haven't mentioned him when he protests the National Anthem and thus disrespects our flag and country.

Speaking with the Miami Herald, the player accused the media of ignoring his raised fist every week during the National Anthem. What a photo op they're missing seeing this angry footballer raise his fist in the air rather than putting it over his heart.

"Y’all ignore it," he said. "Because when I gave my first message on trying to bring unity, y’all swept it under the rug. It’s not me. When you don’t give a problematic story, y’all just ran away. You’ve got this lady named Cyntoia Brown, or whatever her name is, and you sent her to life in prison because she was being sex-trafficked. But yet you guys dipped."

Cyntoia Brown was sentenced to life in prison in Tennessee for a murder she committed when she was 16. Activists have called for the courts to show more leniency in her case due to her young age, assuming she didn't know right from wrong and that the family of the deceased don't have the right to justice.

The Miami Herald did write about the football player's protest back in April when he described America as something straight from the pages of Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States."

"The way America was built, and the way people talk .... The president said to build a wall to keep Mexicans out. This country was built off of — they killed Indians, built off the backs of the blacks. So yet, they tell us to keep quiet. So at the end of the day, let’s confront the situation and let’s bring humanity and friendship and let’s get rid of all the ignorance. Let’s face it head-on, let’s look at each other as humans. I always live by this one law: Treat each other like you want to be treated. You don’t ever want to smack someone in the face and don’t expect to get smacked back. It’s just that simple fact. Don’t treat someone bad and expect not to be treated the same way. That’s just how it is."

Following that report, the media mostly highlighted the protests of Dolphins wide-receiver Kenny Stills, whose kneeling attracted more attention than this player's racially charged power fist.

"Man, I don’t have nothing to do with Kenny," the footballer said. "That ain’t got nothing to do with me. All I’m saying is, my production went up because I’m just playing football and America’s got a lot of problems to fix within itself. Tell America to look itself in the mirror and the people who built it."

Perhaps this football player ought to look at how far America has come regarding racism and equal rights. He ought to look at other countries before deciding how terrible our country is. We aren't perfect, but we're the best nation on the planet in terms of rights and equality. The fact that he can raise his fist in protest isn't on the backs of blacks who have died for that right, but on all Americans who have  fought, and many who have died, for these rights.

If this player wants to end what he sees as racism, raising his fist in protest will do nothing but separate us further and do no good.

Sport is not the place for political speech. In fact, it is the one place where only talent counts and race or religion should play no part.

Kaepernick willing to play for Redskins, even with their racist name

Colin Kaepernick, a former football player of mediocre talent, said that he would be willing to play football with any team that would have him, even the racist Redskins who refuse to change the team name.

"Heck, I'd even be willing to play for the CFL's Ottawa Red-Blacks, a team with another racist name, and a league with a bigger field and only three downs for ten yards. I'm just glad the Canadians don't use the metric system. But even if they did, I'd still play for them," the former 49er said, according to Yahoo Sports columnist Charles Robinson.

But the Redskins are a special case among teams in the NFL. Their nickname has drawn more criticism in recent years and owner Dan Snyder is against players kneeling for the national anthem, a movement Kaepernick started started to protest something that isn't actually a thing.

Two sources in Kaepernick’s camp told Robinson that Kaepernick, a player who wore pig socks to show his disrespect toward police,  would play for “any NFL team,” including Washington,. But the Redskins want Kaepernick like they want their defensive players to have an orchiectomy without ice.

Of course, after their humiliating loss to my New York Giants, there's no telling if the ownership of the Redskins will change his mind, but probably not because Kaepernick really sucks in so many ways.

It was reported earlier Sunday that no team has given Kaepernick a call this season. There are just three weeks left until the playoffs, a time when most every team has its quarterback situation intact.

But if there's a team out there willing to put up with his kneeling at our nation's anthem, and his inability to throw a football that isn't a flapping duck, and who will likely turn off viewership and attendance, then I say go for it. He can only help my Giants, Jets and your team if it isn't the Redskins.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

America's game will not show America's anthem on ESPN

Bristol, CT -- It used to be America's game. Now ESPN will not air the national anthem at the start of "Monday Night Football." But that's okay, we can watch the male cheerleaders doing high-kicks and cheering on the men playing the game. The big question is whether or not the male cheerleaders will show a little bare belly while they dance.

The president of ESPN, Jimmy Pitaro has decided to keep the Stars and Stripes off the air, just in case it offends someone on the left. They didn't show it last year so why fix it if it ain't broken?

Pitaro spoke about his decision at ESPN's annual football media day. A reporter asked him if he spoke to the NFL about the rule changes and the national anthem and if he'd consider "turning the cameras on an athlete that's kneeling for the anthem."

"We generally have not broadcasted the anthem and I don't think there's going to be any change this year," Pitaro said. "Our plan going into this year is not to broadcast the anthem."

It's an interesting contrast to see the gladiators on the gridiron and the cowards videotaping them.

"Again, there could be changes. It's somewhat unpredictable what's going to happen in the world but as of now our plan is to not broadcast the anthem. We have communicated that back to the NFL. They have not asked but we proactively, just as a courtesy and as good partners, let them know what our plans are," he said.

So they plan to remain timid like they did during last season's "Monday Night Football" broadcasts.

The anthem was shown three times in all last year: after the Hurricane Harvey devastation, the Las Vegas massacre, and Trump's comments on the national anthem NFL protests.

Pitaro was asked what he believes is the most inaccurate perception of ESPN. He said that it was branding them as a "political organization," which he thoroughly denies. He said that they cover things that are "newsworthy," however.

"We are the place of record for sports when something happens, when the Eagles are disinvited to the White House, we are going to cover that. When someone takes a knee and we think it's newsworthy we're going to cover it. But we have to be the place of record," he said.

But in order to be the place of record, if the players "take a knee" during the national anthem and ESPN isn't playing it, how can they record it?

The one thing we can take to the bank, so to speak, is that the person who started with "taking a knee," Colin Kaepernick, still is out of an NFL job because he still sucks.

As was the case last year, I can find happiness in life without football. It's a sacrifice because I love the game, but nothing compared to the sacrifices made by our military that allows Kaepernick and his sheep to take a knee during the Star Spangled Banner.

No thank you--I'd rather take a stand.

Kaepernick turned down a chance to play for Broncos

Colin Kaepernick, is the guy who started the "take a knee for some reason or another during the national anthem movement'. He has cost the NFL millions in revenue due to people refusing to support such crap and many boycotted the games.

Kaepernick, who sucked as a QB for the San Francisco 49ers, accused the NFL of colluding against him when no other team wanted to bring him aboard because of his vacuous performances on the field of play, and he filed a grievance against the NFL.

As it turns out, John Elway, the general manager for the Denver Broncos, said on Thursday that his team had offered the suck-worthy Kaepernick a "chance" to be on the team, but he turned them down--perhaps because of his awareness of the level at which he sucked.

Therefore, it was more advantageous for the troubled, anti-anthem, suck-worthy quarterback [whose arm was as accurate as Stevie Wonder's trying to throw a football thirty yards downfield through a moving one foot ring] to do a publicity stunt by "taking a knee" during the Star Spangled Banner," than to try out for a quarterback slot and obviously screw it up.

All hair, no brains

Elway's comments came as he spoke to reporters following the end of team camp. He was asked if Kaepernick could be viewed as a "viable candidate" to fill a back-up QB roll. Elway too is a former NFL quarterback.

"Colin had his chance to be here. We offered him a contract. He didn't take it," Elway answered, referring to a trade offer made to the suck-worthy Kaepernick prior to the 2016 season while he still threw poorly for the 49ers. He turned down the offer because he wanted more money than he was worth due to the level at which he sucked.

During the season, the failed QB began his national anthem protests and began kneeling during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. He said it was to protest police brutality, something his girlfriend told him to say, and to "make sure you speak clearly and show them you're angry."

Other misinformed players who obviously were unaware of the actual statistics regarding police brutality, and caring less about black-on-black gun violence, followed suit because it seemed like the cool thing to do.

It was after the 49ers cut him from the team due to his chronic sucking as a QB that he filed the grievance against the NFL, accusing owners of colluding against him and refusing to hire him so that their team can experience the joys of having a QB with myriad interceptions.

"So, you know," Elway began, "and as I said at my deposition, and I don't know if I'm legally able to say this but, he's had his chance to be here. He passed it."

He even screwed up his passing at his chance.

Leftist media, most who never ran a business, angry at NFL business decision

Liberal media people, most of whom never ran a business or headed a company, are angry over a decision made by the National Football League's decision to combat national anthem protests, thereby combatting huge losses in revenue.

The libtards took to Twitter Wednesday and were outraged of the new policy that would punish a club if its players do not "stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."

And the country and the men and women who died protecting their right no show disrespect.

Hey, the NFL is a business. Any business has the right to make policies that may challenge the rights of citizens WHEN THEY ARE WORKING FOR THAT COMPANY! After work, they can do what they want, but if their behavior is so egregious that it hurts their bottom line, they have every right to make policies and procedures that assuage the problem.

The NFL's policy comes after two years of anger and controversy over the former mediocre quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick, the inarticulate cretin who, in an attempt at relevancy, kneeled during the national anthem as a protest against police brutality.

Kaepernick's unpatriotic display over an issue that was perpetrated in isolated incidents rather than a major occurrence, triggered angry debates across the nation and President Trump criticized the behavior.

On Wednesday, the NFL announced the new guidelines that require players on the field to stand during the anthem but allows the uninformed, low-information players to skip the "Star Spangled Banner" and remain in the locker room where they can snap wet towels at each other's butts and use profanity.

Due to the network's hatred for the country, CNN's Marc Lamont Hill urged all players to remain in the locker room. If they do, I suspect all the fans will remain in their homes spending time with their families.

The bitter Hill said "The worst part is that we've just accepted the idea that the national anthem has to be sung before each game as an article of faith."

Hill needs to look up the word 'tradition.'

NBC News anchor Chuck Todd said the policy feels like a "band-aid that won't stick."

The Johnson and Johnson Corporation is considering suing Todd for the use of its product's copyrighted name. 

Band Aids stick like glue and heal that cut.

Having his head up his nether regions and getting it backwards, Todd wrote: "There's just something that feels un-American about forcing folks to abide what is, well, the league's own policies."

First of all, there's something un-American about disrespecting the American National Anthem. Second, there's something un-American about forcing a private company to make policies that conform to your wishes that would lose them revenue.

Sports Illustrated writer Jimmy Traina wrote: "I have a stupid question: If the NFL and its racist owners are going to penalize a team 15 yards if a player kneels during the anthem, what happens if players from both teams kneel?"

Is every owner in the NFL a racist? How do you know? What evidence do you have to make such a disgusting claim? In fact, the claim itself sounds racist.

But to answer your "stupid question," if both players kneel each team is penalized on their next possession of the ball, or each team loses a 'time out.' If they have no time outs remaining, each team loses those players for the next game. 

Or something like that. It isn't insurmountable, Jimmy.

I believe the players actually do have the right to take a knee and the owners have the right to do what they must in order to help their businesses. If an employee is told he or she must dress a certain way [according to the policy of the company] and refuses to do so, they have that right. Just as the company has the right to fire them.

Rights work both ways.

The truth is, the media loves this kind of thing--it's oxygen for them.

Max J. Rosenthal of the Washington Post believes Americans should skip the national anthem altogether. "Just a reminder that if we stopped playing the anthem before sporting events, we wouldn't ever have to argue about this again."

Except at the Olympics if we win gold medals.

We could then also skip the Fourth of July celebrations, Flag Day, Veterans Day and all government events where the anthem is played.

Hell, we could stop calling ourselves Americans altogether. That would please Rosenthal and all the leftists who actually hate the country, believing we are the worst of all people when, in fact, we are the best.

And I am not ashamed to say that--only they are along with the previous administration.

NFL team decides it wants fans to watch their games

The Houston Texans of the NFL appear to be avoiding free agents who refused to stand for the national anthem of the United States and instead, "took a knee" in a tribute to a non-existent epidemic of police brutality and other nonsense such as the fair and democratic election of President Donald Trump.

The protests, inspired by Colin Kaepernick, a former quarterback with minimal talent who needed to stay relevant, took the NFL by storm last season. But now it has made an impact on the way the Houston Texans will go after free agents.

According to the Houston Chronicle, a pair of NFL agents told them the team isn't interested in selecting players who took a knee during the national anthem last season.

Evidently, they [correctly] believe that it's bad for business. And since the NFL head, Roger Goodell, doesn't have the testicular fortitude to made it mandatory for players to stand during the anthem, the Houston Texans solved the problem themselves.

Although there is no official directive, the team management isn't going to pursue anyone who disrespects the anthem and what it represents.

Team owner Bob McNair got into hot soup last season when he said "we can't have the inmates running the prison" during a meeting with NFL owners about players protesting during the national anthem.

He probably should have instead said: "We can't have the inmates running the asylum." That's the origin of the expression and it would have been more accurate.

But McNair hurt the fragile feelings of the team and the next game most of the players kneeled during the anthem. 

Some may have cried. We will never know.

Court rules on taking a knee--but there's a solution

Mo, Curly and Larry

A leftist California federal court has ruled high school football players cannot be ordered to stand for the national anthem before games.

No problem--I have a solution.

California high school football coaches need to come up with a new exercise requiring players to stand and "place the right hand over the heart pushing inward, the left hand pushed downward along the side of the pants at the seams, and internally stretch by standing tall" while the Star Spangled Banner is being played. They should demand their players do this exercise when he tells them to begin or be cut from the team.

The announcers at California high school football games should announce before the national anthem that players may stand, sit or take a knee to honor the flag and our nation.

The screwed up decision was made on Dec. 21, by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in honor of Iran's pledge titled "Death to America."

Political expression and protest in a non-violent way is fine. So is boycotting games or refusing to allow your own kid to play for a team that refuses to support the flag.

Values and ideals, like liberals, go both ways.

Indiana lawmaker may get refunds for Colts fans if players kneel during National Anthem

Indianapolis -- NFL fans are sick and tired of players kneeling during the national anthem. Some Colt fans want their money back when players on their team kneel and it's possible these fans may get their wish if recent legislation by an Indiana lawmaker gets approved.

Rep. Milo Smith (R.-IN) represents the Columbus area. He told the Indianapolis Star that kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner is disrespectful to the government, and when he saw it himself he said that "it didn't sit right with me."

He has a point. After all, the title of the national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," is about the American flag, the symbol of our nation. To kneel during the anthem is disrespecting not only the flag, but what it symbolizes and those who have defended it and do so now. 

"To me, when they take a knee during the national anthem, it's not respecting the national anthem or our country," Smith said. "Our government isn't perfect, but it's still the best country in the world and I think we need to be respectful of it."

Smith's bill wouldn't break any laws because it wouldn't stop players from kneeling, but would require the Colts to refund fans who want their money back. Also, it wouldn't require the Colts to refund fans if the opposing team members kneel during the national anthem, only if the Colt players kneel.

A New Orleans Saints season ticket holder filed a lawsuit earlier this month in Louisiana judicial district court claiming an alleged demonstration during the team's September 17 home game against the New England Patriots created an angry atmosphere that has since made his tickets unusable. He is seeking attorney's fees and an $8,000 refund.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every fan decided that enough is enough.

The NFL boycott is working--don't stop

The NFL boycott being exercised by patriotic Americans who are disgusted with players 'taking a knee' at the playing of our National Anthem is beginning to have an effect. The "Thursday Night Football" ratings fell to a season low in which the Denver Broncos beat the Indianapolis Colts 25 to 13.

Neither the Bronco nor the Colts were in the playoff running for the season. But the season was fraught with controversy and protests and the ratings have declined significantly. Not simply the empty stadium seats at Lucas Oil Stadium, but overall on TV and other stadiums across the country.

Perhaps there's still hope for our country.

The market metered results was 7.4 out of 13, a season low for both CBS and NBC and simulcast on NFL Network, 

The winners in all this garbage is Roger Goodell who just signed a $200 million contract to remain commissioner. 

In spite of their anti-American protest under the guise of police brutality and other non-factual beliefs, the players haven't suffered any repercussions from coaches or the owners. Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase allowed players to leave the locker room during the anthem and show the fans their lack of respect for it, the flag and the nation by kneeling on the field.

There's still some mutually destructive conflict going on between the players over the $100 million the NFL pledged to donate for their causes, but the money will be doled out and you can bet it's going to go to some leftist group that applauds the players' disrespectful behavior.

The losers were the television networks in terms of their ratings, which will be lower for the third consecutive year. Thus, they will make less money through their sponsors and ESPN may even cut back on its money-losing licensing. That's still in the rumor stage, but it's possible if we remain committed to our beliefs and the boycott continues.

The players may also lose as the salary cap in the league is dependent upon total revenue. Keep kneeling and watch the cap circle the bowl, and I don't mean the Superbowl. Angering your best customers is not smart business strategy. In fact, a Baltimore-Buffalo game recently offered seats as low as $4. Merchandise that used to fall off the shelves is falling off in sales and TV package renewals will possibly decline and this lowers the salary cap as well. This means less money for players in salary and in endorsements if they continue to piss us off.

Next season the players will probably be off the field when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played and the flag displayed. They'll probably kneel in the locker room, especially if the media checks on them.

They can kneel all they want. I'm going to watch college football instead. I particularly enjoy the Army-Navy game (go Navy!). Not only did nobody kneel, everyone, players and fans in the stadium, are prepared to defend precisely what the "Star Spangled Banner" stands for. 

Don't get me wrong--I love NFL football. But I have to put my principals over my entertainment needs. 

I may never watch another NFL game, but perhaps if something changes that shows me the NFL has changed, I might.

In the meanwhile, I hope you'll consider boycotting the NFL, or continue to do so if you already are boycotting. Use the time you would have spent watching a game with your family or friends, or whatever you want to do that seems to always be on the backburner. 

And if you want to take a knee, do it in church. It's a lot more meaningful there.

Kaepernick's prison lectures angers correction officers

Big hair, small brain

NFL great, Colin Kaepernick (just kidding, he totally sucks) made a surprise visit to Rikers Island Tuesday to meet with felons, pedophiles, sex offenders, murderers, and other varieties of misunderstood scum. The corrections officers tasked with guarding the facility and stayin' alive, stayin' alive, were irate and believe the stunt will endanger them in the future.

Which wouldn't bother Colin Kaepernick as he believes law enforcement unfairly singles out people of color and other minorities in spite of statistics that prove otherwise.

The former decent QB for the San Francisco 49ers spoke to groups of inmates during two 45 minute sessions at the George Motchan Detention Center section of the prison on Tuesday morning.

He lectured about social justice, a topic he learned about from his girlfriend, an angry woman who is aware of Colin's failing athleticism and the need to keep him relevant. He also spoke about his heavy decision to kneel disrespectfully during the national anthem, which has nothing to do with social justice and everything to do with patriotism and the military.

This may have been the reason patriotic Americans decided to boycott the NFL after he influenced other football players to mindlessly kneel or do their stretching during the playing of the anthem.

"That's crazy to me to have a person like Colin Kaepernick in prison talking about police brutality," one officer who attended the event said. "It was insulting for me to be there."

"In the inmate's eyes, we are the police when they're locked up."

It's amazing how stupid we have become as a nation. It's also pathetic.

The morning started off with Kaepernick having breakfast in the warden's office because he was scared to sit with his audience or take a shower with them in fear of dropping the soap like players had been dropping his duck passes before his forced retirement.

Kaepernick is everything that's wrong with SJWs.

NFL plans to use veterans and cancer charity funds to pay off Anthem kneelers

San Francisco 49er Eric "The Weed" Reid told Slate magazine, an online mag that leans further to the left than Karl Marx, that the NFL intends to use the money that was slated to be used for breast cancer charities and "Salute to Service" veterans fund to pay for a seven-year, $89 million "social justice" program designated to pay off protesting NFL kneelers.

The NFL announced the cash initiative last week, as a way of "settling" with the players who a coalition of players who kneel disrespectfully during the National Anthem. In other words, the NFL is paying them off to stand during the Star Spangled Banner using money slated for veterans and cancer charities.

Makes perfect sense.

When the announcement was first made, it wasn't clear where the money was coming from--now it is.

If you are not boycotting the NFL on television and at the games, you're saying that you're okay with players standing during the honoring of our flag and our national anthem.

Please consider boycotting the NFL. As Martha Steward says, "It's a good thing."

Veterans Day Weekend and the NFL

This is Veterans Day Sunday where we honor those who serve and those who have served. One of the ways to show your support is to refuse watching the NFL on Sunday and every day in which even one player refuses to stand for the National Anthem. (When I refer to the anthem I capitalize it, which is incorrect grammatically, but correct in the spirit I'm expressing.)

I don't think of this as a boycott as much as I see it as a refusal to support blatant disrespect for the country and its military. 

I understand those who will watch the NFL, but personally, I'd rather put my temporary entertainment second to my sense of patriotism. Besides, yesterday was college football and those kids are entertaining and a lot more enthusiastic than the pros.

There are over 227,000 followers on Facebook's "Boycott the NFL" page. It asks football fans to hold off watching the games "in solidarity with veterans around the country," The Washington Times reported.

Of course, 227,000 fans boycotting the NFL isn't enough to make a huge difference. I would hope everyone who normally watches the games would forgo it, especially today.

Perhaps if you live anywhere near Farmingdale, New Jersey, you could go to Woody's Roadside Tavern to their fundraiser for veterans and their families. Normally, Woody's has the NFL playing for their customers on all 20 of their TV screens, but not today.

One conservative watchdog group called 2ndVote is asking football fans to "stiff-arm the NFL." They said, "We're sending the National Football League, its corporate sponsors, and the television networks a message this Veterans Day weekend. Americans are sick of the disrespectful National Anthem protests that the NFL has not only allowed to continue, but has institutionalized in pregame ceremonies."

The league will not be making any changes in policy regarding the on-field disrespect of the nation's military and flag. 

So maybe it's time we fans make changes in how we spend our Sundays. We can acquiesce by tolerating the disrespectful behavior by some NFL players, or we can actually show character and resolve by standing for something.

Consider it.

Vin Scully 'will never watch another NFL game'

Former L.A. Dodger announcer and Hall of Famer Vin Scully attended the Pasadena Civic Center for "An Evening With Vin Scully." 

Scully, who turns 90 this month was asked about the NFL's National Anthem protests, whereby players refuse to stand during the anthem in protest for police brutality and "stuff" they cannot intelligently verbalize nor provide any facts for all of their grievances.

Scully said he "will never watch another NFL game" because of the protests.

"I have only one personal thought, really," Scully said. "And I am so disappointed. And I used to love, during the fall and winter, to watch the NFL on Sunday. And it's not that I'm some great patriot--I was in the Navy for a year, didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything. But I have overwhelming respect and admiration for anyone who puts on a uniform and goes to war. So the only thing I can do in my little way is not to preach. I will never watch another NFL game."
