Outrage As Green Bay Packers Invite Fans To Lock Arms And Join Team In Disrespecting The American Flag

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



A request by Green Bay Packers players for fans to join them in a show of unity during the national anthem before their game Thursday apparently did little to calm the debate.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As tens of thousands of outraged NFL fans burn their jerseys and rip up season tickets, the NFL has hit upon a new way to try and stop the damage. Their new plan is to invite the fans to join the players in disrespecting our flag and National Anthem. Umm, sorry snowflakes, but do you really think the fans who fund your crybaby millionaire lifestyle are that stupid and that anti-American like you are? This battle to destroy our country follows the classic Progressive Alt-Left agenda to divide and conquer. That’s what they are really inviting the fans to do. 

Packers fans on Wednesday continued to blast the NFL, the team and players for what they perceive as showing disrespect for the nation, the flag, the military or the national anthem by sitting, kneeling, remaining in the locker room or locking arms during the national anthem. Supporters say players are peacefully exercising their free speech rights on the best stage available.

“We’ve had a steady stream of feedback beginning Monday morning and it continued into Wednesday. We’ve heard on both sides of the matter,” said Aaron Popkey, Packers director of public affairs. “We take note of their concerns.”

The Packers play the Chicago Bears at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in a nationally televised game that follows a weekend when all but one NFL team staged some show of unity or protest. The issue escalated after President Donald Trump urged owners to discipline players who sit or kneel during the national anthem.

President Trump criticizes the NFL:

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired,” Trump said during a campaign rally last week for Sen. Luther Strange, R-Alabama.

Before Trump’s comments, only a handful of players across the league protested during the national anthem.

The show of unity seemed to be as much a response to the president’s comments as to the concern for racial equality that prompted then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to launch that form of protest last season. But as with fans, personal reasons varied for NFL owners, coaches and players to join in demonstrations of unity and support.

On Sunday, most of the Packers locked arms during the national anthem and three sat through the song. Players on Tuesday invited fans at Thursday’s game to join them in locking arms in a show of unity.

But unity could prove elusive.

“I am so ashamed of and appalled by the ignorance of any NFL player who would dare disgrace our Stars and Stripes or the memory of hundreds of thousands of fallen U.S. heroes who paid with their lives so that we may live free,” said Steven Tiefenthaler, a native of Brookfield who now lives in San Antonio. Tiefenthaler is a Packers shareholder and 20-year U.S. Air Force veteran.

Tiefenthaler said he was humbled by once flying the remains of American servicemen to the states, an experience that stays with him.

“My allegiance to our American flag and to our national anthem will always stand far above any loyalty to the NFL or to the Green Bay Packers organization,” he said.

Laura Hapke, a La Crosse native now living in Orange, Calif., said the Packers were the last team she expected to do what they did Sunday. Hapke meets with other Packers fans each week to watch the game. Her mother is a shareholder and she’s on the season-ticket waiting list. In other words, she’s a diehard fan.

“If they come out and say they are more into politics than patriotism, I’ll have to rethink it,” she said. “It will break my heart, but I’ll have to rethink it.” source

      You have a double standard going there. Didn’t Trump run to make America great again? This means American is not great, anymore. You can’t get around that, but by more double talk. We must conclude this means that many who died for America died for something not great, in recent memory. Interesting concept, the flag is great, but not the actual nation behind it. Let’s all solute the flag or get angry, proclaim America sucks and not get angry. Makes sense to me.

        Pretty much mate

        Dude you are double talking ! What does great AGAIN mean ? That means it once was a great nation . A well respected nation ! But since O nut case set in our White House and pretended to be president almost every nation on earth now hates us because of him ! This ass did so many things of evil to other countries as well as our own ! Many of you don’t know but Christmas 2015 this jerk signed a treaty with the UN to take over America . UN troops were pouring in to remove all American guns . Many think that is the answer , Hell No it’s not ! Look a Europe , Muslim radicals are destroying Europe , raping childrn and women and now killing men . What have they got yo protect themselves with , baseball bats ? Not even the cops have guns . Only those that protect the scum that pushed this filth upon them ! I say march in and through them out the windows ! Then stomp these Muslim radicals asses ! now back to America being great ! This ass wipe reduced troop numbers to world war one numbers , grounded key fighting planes , scrapped some of our warships and old them for scrap , removed key generals , removed nuke button pushers by say I think that they may have possibly cheated on their tests . Then Muslim radicals were placed in their places . He brought in 15,000 special Russian force troops in May 2012 with executive ordes to protect him from the American people . 2013 he showed Chinese milatery our power gride and how to shut it down . When ask why he replied who knows when we might need help shouting it down . After the first wave of Russian troops he continued bringing them in with Russian nuke bombers which I saw in South Carolina myself . The statement he made was we are trying to be friendly lowing them to land in South Carolina . The next year on my vacation thousands of Russian were all over Mrtlye Beach . The next year visiting Gatlinburg Tennessee they had made it to that state . It was said over 150,000 Russian troops now are in America . Some have even stated they have caught them setting the fires in the west were our some of our food supplies are coming from ! This is just the tip of the iceberg . Tell me what does it look like ass wipe is trying to do ? I would say destroy America . He drove America from a few Billion dollars to 20 trillion dollars debt ! It takes 999 billion plus another billion to make a trillion . In other words 1000 billion for 1 trillion . We are talking 20 thousand billion dollars ( 20 trillion ) . 20,000,000,000,000 This Muslim sodomite is the biggest lier ( created a fake family ) do you see the family together now ? Michael Robinson a college football player decided to take hormones and grow some tits . He left the dick . Many photos and videos show it , like on Ellen as he jumped up and down . Then the children were borrowed from a friend . Don’t see them anymore either . Only to make special appearances , then gone again . Obama has a white dad not a black dad . His blood type tells us so . His AB negative tell us he has White , Asain and reptilian blood . Science backs this up . Negative is alien to humans . Science says it is closer to reptilian than the monkey the try to link humans too . Many say Jim Parks who had an affair with his black maid produced Barry Parks . The black woman was taken to Kenya Africa to have her baby . Heck some even say Obama was cloned on a ship ! Some say he is from Indoesnesia . Others say Hawaii . So where the hell is he from ? He is a lier and conman . There are some that say he had special training with Russian forces like a Russian spy . When about to go for the second election thinking the mike was off he told Putin when I get elected again I will deal with America’s nukes . If Putin is his enemy why was he telling him this ? And why did he remove nuke button pushers to replace them with Muslims ? Why was he and Hillary selling the Russians uranium that makes nukes if Russia is our enemy ? Because Obama is a damn lier , That’s why ! So yes Trump has to try and bring America back up the ladder to try and compete with Russia and China because of this piece of crap ! That’s why this war we are getting ready to fight scares me ! I hope he has removed the Muslim nuke button pushers that may have turned them on America , and secured our power gride and increased our army and their weapons for fighting . Many of our army bases were closed down and was being used to bring in foreign troops and even house them . I hope he has sent them home ! If not we have a hell of a fight ahead of us !

        It has gotten so bad the Raiders threw their game against the Redskins. The owners should fire the lot of them.

        Typical TWISTED “Logic” from a LEFTY/COMMIE bent on destroying the country. Listen up: America is based on the US Constitution, a GREAT document. The LEFTY/COMMIES have worked to destroy the Constitution, but we have stopped you! Hence, we’re restoring the Constitution, thereby making American Great Again.

        It’s not really that hard to understand (unless you have an anti-American Pro-Communist agenda)

      Since the players want to protest on my dime then I can protest by watching something else, buying something else, and make better use of my money. As a tax payer – I will support the recent bill introduced into Congress to eliminate subsidies of one billion dollars to the NFL.

      I don’t know too much about the game. What I do find entertaining about football is these low IQ human forms dancing around and engaging in incomprehensible gyrations, and then they run about banging their heads together to protect this symbol that apparently represents one of their spawn.

      It’s reminiscent of the Monty Python Twit Olympics!

      Maybe, the fans should stand and respect the country during the Anthem, and then lock arms and river-dance during the commercials and the game ….. It’d be healthier.

    • N0Edomites

      To hell with the flag full of esoteric symbolism and pentagrams! this cesspool of a country was stolen under the banner of “THE FLAG”, the rape rob and murder of 100′s of millions of people was committed under the banner of “THE FLAG”, the oppression and enslavement of a race of people was committed under the banner of “THE FLAG”.

      When was so-called America great? BEFORE murderers invaded and spread nothing but death and disease!!!

      If this continues I think attending games will become dangerous for the fans. As politics and high school peer pressure and bullying ramp up you will most likely be in danger if you don’t:

      Dress in the correct colors
      Are the wrong color.
      Don’t kneel on command (hmmm)
      Stand up at the wrong time
      sing along with the national anthem.

      The victims of bullying will fight back.

      It will be bloody.

      Might as well stop going to games now.

        What grade are these players in?

      In the words of Moochele Obongo, ” All this for a flag”. This is straight out of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Doubt it not.
