Seahawks Discussing Possible ‘Team’ Protest of National Anthem Sunday

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


One of the biggest headlines this NFL Preseason was the act by San Francisco 49’ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who in protest failed to stand for the national anthem before a preseason game.

It’s been one of, if not the most talked about story line in the NFL all summer, even though it didn’t even happen to involve a play. Now the Seahawks are talking about a potential team protest, and wide out Doug Baldwin and LB Bobby Wagner say the team may do a ‘team’ protest before the game against Miami Sunday at home.

Here’s the report from Bleacher Report:

      You have the right to do this, but only because brave men unlike you died to gain those freedoms from King George the turd, the faggot from across the pond. You also have those rights because they were protected by millions giving their lives so you could keep them, But hey go ahead you selfish inconsiderate overpaid pieces of shit, Just remember, while all rights are and were from God the almighty giving you especially free will, not only his but those of the Constitution should be used with some sort of intelligence, and good judgement without showing your ignorance, and disregard for such and your fellow man. But I personally think most of you NFL boys are just a bunch of cowards and sissy’s that are overpaid and incapable of a good thought process, now prove me right. But before you do, take a walk through a national cemetery alone and see something that might open your minds.

        Everyone has always had the right to sit or stand whenever they like. It is only tyrants and and systems of oppression that attempt to convince people that their rights were given to them by someone else.

        Our military has done nothing but squash people attempting to be free ever since the civil war when the northern army FORCED the south to remain in the union that they no longer wanted to be a part of. All of those soldiers in the national cemetary are fools who gave their lives in the service of satan (assuming that there is a satan) invading peoples backyards looting, killing and raping as they went.

        They have not stopped since. WWI, WWII and every conflict before after and in between was an act of murderous aggression on behalf of jewish bankers and the minions.

        Why don’t you take off your blinders.

        The truth is it has been a constant battle on earth for the masses to retain the natural rights that WE WERE BORN WITH.

        Forcing someone to stand up for a stupid meaningless song is not an expression of freedom it is an expression of control.

        This is not the land of the free and the home of the brave, it is the land of the naive and the home of the slaves. People are beginning to come around though. The lies, indoctrination and corporate brainwashing are starting to wear off.

        • DWood

          Well lets also not forget that the south wanted the “freedom” to buy and sell human beings and if the civil war had ended with there being two countries, the southern one would not have given up slavery easily.

          • LifeIs

            What are you talking about? the North also had slavery. Four slave states were in the Union.

            And Lincoln offered a law to return fugitive slaves, to prevent secession.

            And Lincoln wrote a form of slavery called convict leasing into the Constitution. The last state to abolish it (Alabama) did so in 1928. The convicts had no rights, “the same rights as a dead man.”

            Convict leasing was slavery the old English way: accuse people of petty crimes and make slaves of them.

            The WAR, as Lincoln told us in his 1st Inaugural Address, and in the campaign before that, was about federal tax revenue. Tariffs on imported goods.

            But YES many people thought they were fighting to end slavery….many lost life or limb in the belief that the sacrifice they made was in the cause of abolition.

            So why don’t the Seahawks honor the 234,680 Union soldiers who died, and the 275,000 who were wounded. And the 30,000 who were taken prisoner and held under horrible conditions.

              If any of these morons would bother to look up the meaning of that 3rd verse:
              “Francis Scott Key describes the British as arrogant and boastful in the lyrics ‘that band who so vauntingly swore’ He is venting his anger at the British with the “foul footsteps’ pollution” lyrics inferring that the British poisoned the ground on which they walked But the poison and corruption had been washed away by the blood of the British The Star Spangled Banner lyrics “the hireling ” refers to the British use of Mercenaries (German Hessians) in the American War of Independence The Star Spangled Banner lyrics “…and slave” is a direct reference to the British practice of Impressment (kidnapping American seamen and forcing them into service on British man-of war ships).
              This was a Important cause of the War of 1812 Francis Scott Key then describes the Star Spangled Banner as a symbol of triumph over all adversity”
              It had nothing at all to do with slaves owned by americans.

              This is the verse 3:
              “And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”

              So, i.e. he simply states (in lieu of the raging battle) there is no refuge to save the british fighters whether they are hired or slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave (potential death in battle or if their flight is not successful).
              There is nothing racist about it at all because most the people the british would have enslaved to do the ship sailing, work, and onboard labor for the british soldiers would have been white and obviously being that key lived then and there he would have known that. It is a white man talking about what would be mostly white slaves.
              They were often the people the british caught running the tax (or stamp) blockades and their punishment was often empressage into serving on the british war ships and other ships.
              One of the reasons key was on the boat was to get freed a man called bean who was a farmer/doctor who had assisted in arresting british soldiers for looting american’s farm houses and was in turn then arrested by the british for having assisted in arresting some of the british that had looted the farmhouses.

              So, the entire purpose for key being there was pro-human rights, pro-freedom, anti-british oppression and enslavement.

              It is a total skew of all historical record to suggest the poem key wrote that night was something about pro-oppression or pro-slavery.

              These idiot ignorant people need to start reading some history.
              These stupid dolts don’t get that the colonies were plantations.
              Everyone was under some form of servitude.

              The entire push-back and revolution was because of the oppression and enslavement of the internationalist elite global corporations enslaving everyone and the crowns of europe acting as their partners and their muscle.

              They had been working on the colonization (plantationizing) of the entire world for over 300 years before our revolution.

              What developed the revolution is that they were having cost problems at the beginning of the 1600′s and merchants and especially the crown of england had been developing a good partnership in getting rich on it.
              A bunch of them came up with the efficiencies of running an atlantic triangle of raw goods from the americas to england to be turned into goods then exported to the world to then stop back by africa for slaves to take to the americas on their way for more raw goods. Less dead end runs all over the world that way, and thus lower cost, and higher profits and greater enslaved world.
              They were literally attempting to enslave the entire world into working for the company store so to speak.

              They became victims of their own success.

              The americans started not liking not having basic freedoms and being subjects or servant and thus the rebellion and attempted put down there of and the birth of a nation by the declaration to the world that man is not born a slave to the elites; that instead people are born with certain rights given to them naturally and not by government so they cannot be taken away by government.

              So, in conclusion these stupid people need to see that the internationalist elites have been playing the same game since approximately the 1400′s or earlier and getting better and better at it.
              They get us to fight, argue, and bicker, and kill each other while they are keeping on keeping on refining their control over the entire world.

              Hasn’t anyone noticed that somehow the unifier obama somehow managed to divide us more than ever in decades by pointing fingers at everyone, and that hillary is doing the same thing.

              They are on the internationalist team!

              They are getting paid by the people who are pushing one world enslaving government and will get paid a lot more when they get out of office by huge speaking fees and huge fees to sit on boards and do nothing.
              They want us all back on the plantation they started the american colonies as as a stepping stone to the one single world government and they do not care what they have to do to accomplish it including who they have to mow down.

          But Mongoose no one is saying they have no right to opt out of the national anthem, and no one is saying they have to support any war.

          What I’m saying is: they have no legitimate grievance. Persons of color have had special advantages for 50 years. And many, including NFL players, are well-paid and celebrated. And we elected a person of color to the Presidency twice.

          It is madness and folly, it is a lie, to say persons of color are oppressed in this country.

      A one way ticket to the Congo plus a miilion dollars would solve everything

        Just send them to chicago for a weekend. Problem solved.

      Wagner if he were not a Black Racist is right that a team needs to protest together. But of course he is black and with better than 90% of Blacks out and out racists I would only side with his protest if it were to stop US aggression against all poor peoples regardless of their color. But unfortunately just like the afro hairdo idiot from SF this is a cop out to black racists that run BLM. Not to help the oppressed but to destroy America and actually make the police state even more tyrannical . Too bad Kap and Wagner were not racists and had normal sized brains because we need a multicultural
      reaction to Obama’s terror organization and it’s members of congress. Instead we have racists helping the government thar actually needs and wants a massive race war.

      I used to really like Seattle (I lived there for nearly 17 years) and the Seahawks but Seattle is WAY to liberal and out of touch with reality these days and I wouldn’t even want to visit that DUMP of a city again !!! Hopefully the next big quake and tsunami in that area will wash it out to sea for good !!!
