| NFL’s kneeling comes to abrupt halt: Protesters miss playoffs |
| 2018-01-17 |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] NBC plans to televise any players who refuse to stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl, but there may be nothing to show. It appears that NFL players are no longer taking a knee during the national anthem, namely because none of the teams with still-active protesters has qualified for the postseason. By the end of the regular season, only five teams featured at least one player regularly sitting or kneeling on the sidelines for the anthem: the Seattle Seahawks, the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... 49ers, the Miami Dolphins, the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders. None of those franchises made the playoffs, even though four of the five did so in the previous season, leading to speculation about whether the take-a-knee protests wound up dragging down team performance along with TV ratings. "By their actions, the kneelers brought controversy into the locker rooms, and this kind of distraction is always going to be detrimental to team cohesiveness," said Robert Kuykendall, a front man for the conservative corporate watchdog 2ndVote. |

| #6 Neo-marxisism ideology was developed by the Soviets to promulgate their enemies to destroy confidence in the system. It tears up the guts of any institution. It is absolutely evil. |

| #5 ...and this kind of distraction is always going to be detrimental to team cohesiveness," Which I think will be largely black vs. white players, just like the professional agitators intended. |

| #3 Raiders fired coach Jack Del Rio and hired Jon (Chucky) Gruden. My sincere hope is that Gruden can bring a new attitude to the team. |
