'limp-wristed libs' have ruined football

From a true hero and Medal Of Honor winner.


THE ANTI-PATRIOTS

'LIMP-WRISTED LIBS' HAVE RUINED FOOTBALL

Exclusive: Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady rips those disrespecting 'our veterans and our country'

Published: 7 hours ago

Editor’s note: Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady is a recipient of the United States military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. He is former president of the Medal of Honor Society.

Echoing many media-phobic NFL owners, Robert Kraft, in defending football players’ disrespect of our veterans and our country, said, “There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics.” He was responding to President Trump, who denounced divisive, pampered millionaires insulting and disrespecting our flag, our veterans and our people. And Trump, by defending our flag, our veterans and our country, is divisive?


Kraft spoke on behalf of a team called the Patriots. A Patriot is one who defends and supports his country. As Trump did. Kraft, unbelievably, defends anti-patriotic players, who have not invested one drop of blood for our freedoms, in their disrespect for those who died for their freedom. His team needs to change its name. If sports are unifying and politics divisive, nothing can be more divisive than sports becoming political.
But football has more problems than players and owners who hate our country. It is a dying sport. In my judgment, it was once the most American of all our sports, emblematic of our motto: E Pluribus Unum. You have a group of people of diverse talents joined by merit, not race or privilege, united as a team for one goal. It epitomized the toughness, diversity, ingenuity, fortitude and togetherness that made our country great. Alas, the limp-wristed liberals are ruining it.
What is happening in football is happening to sports in general and is a reflection of how wimpy we are as a people. It has been my great honor to know heroes from World War I until today. Those guys were tough, brutally honest and would have scorned any notion of political correctness. I have noticed a softness over the generations, probably a function of our obsession with comfort, which Kahlil Gibran called “that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, then becomes host, and finally master. ” Whatever the reason, we are becoming wimps. Can you imagine men like Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner wearing a glove to protect their pinkies from that cruel hard bat? Or Johnny Unitas complaining because he was thrown to the ground?

Consider what has happened to football. They have take the punt return, once the most exciting play in football, out of the game. The great open-field runners of the past have been replaced by out-of-bounds runners, often to avoid a hit. The purpose of any play is to gain yards by hitting people. Not one single yard was ever gained out of bounds.
In the past every player on the field was subject to the same rules. Now some players are more equal/valuable than others and subject to the Hillary rule: the rules don’t apply to them. Quarterbacks and receivers are as pad-protected as any other player – so why can’t they be hit like any other player? Many penalties are undefinable and decided by camera. There is a penalty flag on virtually every other play. The referees huddle more than the teams and often actually decide game outcomes. God help us if the race fascists discover that the referee in charge wears a white hat and the lesser referees wears black. And are their shirts black on white or white on black?
Combine all this with the ridiculous, obscene and juvenile gyrations of grown men celebrating how wonderful they are all over the field, and it is easy to see why fans are turning off.

Busted! NFL rules require anti-anthem players
to appear on field

'Stand at attention, face flag, hold helmets in left hand, refrain from talking'


The NFL’s operations manual, which, unlike its rule book, is not available to the public, states:
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
The NFL declined to respond to multiple WND inquiries on the issue.

I looked around, and I don't think this actually exists in the rule book. The NFL, like Kim of North Korea, is on a suicide mission.

If the NFL allows it, the players have every right to kneel during the anthem or throw up black power signs after scoring a touchdown or whatever they deem appropriate. I, on the other hand, have every right to refuse to support such an organization, and so I don't.

When it stops being entertainment that takes me away from all the political BS and anxieties of the world, it has ceased to perform its proper function. I don't need to pay hundreds of dollars to see protesting and whining...I can find that for free.

I really wish Trump had not said anything about it. He is absolutely right in his statements, but he dragged it further into the political arena than it needed to be. The NFL was slowly dying on the vine already. I suspect he has sped up the process somewhat, though.

So now when they kneel and disrespect the country and flag, I suppose they feel like they are protesting Trump as well. I see even one of our congress persons have knelt on the house floor (what total ignorance...should such a person be allowed to serve and decide when to send Americans into harm's way?).

TylerTechsas, are you still a Saints fan after they sat down for the national anthem, or have you disowned them?

I tend to agree.
Has anyone done research on what players have been fined or penalized for "on field" inappropriateness ??????

If grown men want to disrespect the flag, for whatever reason, on the field, they are going to to it. Who's making the decision to fine or not to fine, and for what???

It is bad enough these athletes are using the wrong forum for protest, but Rodger Gotohell and the NFL are who have pulled my chain beyond the breaking point and they are absolutely wrong in not bringing this to an end.
Let their over-privileged rears by air time and sponsor a civil discussion on whatever issues would lead to this absolute stupidity we are all wrapped in now.

How could that happen? I have been told for the past year that the NFL respects the players' freedom of speech.

Poor guy was just expressing his first amendment right!

Maybe he should have said he was doing it on behalf of all the undocumented immigrants.

And they're ruining pro football and our country in the same manner. And yes these players and owners that protest are typical wealthy, liberal elitist and in this case on some stupid arse guilt trip as well.

Wow. You guys are some of the biggest snowflakes. Can't handle it when someone has a different opinion about your country?

What you guys appear to want is fascism. You guys should appreciate that we have people that stand against the idea that what we do is automatically great. People that stand for the idea of making a "more perfect union." The day our entire country rallies around the flag is the day our country has finally lost.

That's a really sad view. I would say the day our entire country rallies around the flag (voluntarily) is the day our country will finally reach it's full potential.

People throw around the word facism a lot these days. Antifa clearly doesn't understand what it is and apparently you don't either. There will always be people who disagree with the cause of a protest. If there weren't there wouldn't need to be a protest. There will also often be will often be people who disagree with the way a protest is carried out. People have different opinions on things. That's life.

Interesting point of view.. So if the flag is just a piece of cloth and doesn't really need to be rallied around for what it represents.. then why all of the outrage over the confederate stars and bars battle flag?

For once and for all:

Facism: authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce, that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

I would suggest that Obama had more of these characteristics than the current occupant of the white house. His view of nationalism was to undermine the sovereignty of the US and push through a globalist world view. He used the power of government agencies to quiet the opposition (the IRS and now we are finding out he used the intelligence agencies as well). He picked winning and losing industries and threatened "deniers" of his climate change religion with punishment for having an opposing viewpoint (they committed thought crimes).

Seems like everyone has a right to free speech, until the left doesn't agree with the speech. Then it is shut down using violence.

Just a minor correction. The "Stars and Bars" is NOT the same as the "Battle Flag."

The Stars and Bars was the 1st National flag of the Confederacy:
http://www.usflag.org/history/images/starsbars.gif

It was too close to the look of the Union's Stars and Stripes and caused some confusion on the battlefield. So, the battle flag was designed, sporting St. Andrew's Cross:

https://nebula.wsimg.com/obj/RjU5OUN...Q2NTQ6Ojo6OjA=

Note it is a square and has a white border. That is the Confederate's army flag.

Now this one, is the "Navy Jack" that flew on Confederate ships and also in forts. It is rectangular and has no white border:

This is the stupidest thing I have read, probably ever. What you have described is the opposite of nationalism - globalism. You even used the word and equated it with its opposite to try to support your argument that Obama was a fascist. Unbelievable. There has never even a better example of cognitive dissonance.

I didn't say the flag was a piece of cloth. Those that were protesting, at least originally, were protesting that our country (which the flag represents) was not keeping its promise of a more perfect union to certain communities.

The confederate flag represents oppression. As much as some folks want to make the NFL protests to be an attack on America it isn't. They aren't saying flags should be taken down (as they are with Confederacy-representing flags), but they are drawing attention to their lack of loyalty to a flag that has failed to be loyal to them.

Not to everyone. It represents different things to different people.
The protest is not an attack on America, but it is intentionally disrespectful to America. I would love to hear how that flag has failed to be loyal to them.

Hindsight is always 20/20 but it would have been much better for Kap to explain that taking a knee was his way of showing the country still has work to do and that he intends to work to make this country better and support equality for all people who face oppression within it. Instead he wore a Castro (with Malcom X, I looked it up) shirt and socks with pigs dressed as police. He also said he wouldn't show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people. The same country that allowed him and many others to become millionaires playing a game.

You like to point out that criticism of Trump's tweets are entirely of his own doing. And you are correct. Funny how you fail to see that the criticism of this protest is entirely of their own doing as well.

Not on my part. And I knew your intellect would not allow you to see my point once you got hung up on the bold faced word at the back of the book. You view the world like a 4 year old learning to speak.

I would never accuse him of being nationalistic or even patriotic. This is why I said "his version", meaning what is different. He taught people to hate America so much that many still doubt his true citizenship.

One thing I do not see anywhere is an explanation of how Trump or his supporters are fascist. All the little lemmings run around saying it (you included..you brought it up), but there is nothing in that definition that applies to Trump. You can say he is nationalistic (pro America), but he is president of AMERICA. I understand for the left, having a president that is pro America is a bad thing. But, being nationalistic is not the key here. If he passed an executive order saying NFL players can not kneel, that is fascism. Saying it is unpatriotic and saying they should be fired without using power to have them fired is not. It is him using his first amendment right...just like you do.

The key (because you missed it entirely) was using the IRS to silence the Tea Party organizations. Using the intelligence agencies to spy on the opposition and leak information to the press. Using the justice department to attack and silence those that disagree with you on stuff like global warming. Selling arms to drug cartels in Mexico so that when someone got killed they could use the issue to attack gunowners (part of the bitter clingers). Those are the actions of a dictator who does not tolerate opposition to his vision.

If Trump does any of those, I will not support him.

You , on the other hand, are hopeless.

That's pretty funny.

26 out of 44 Benitos, so the writer declares Trump is not a facist. Actually, I scored each of those categories and got 18 total for Trump. So, the writer is still too high.

Mussolini proudly wore the facist label. He proclaimed himself to be a facist, and reveled that he had turned Italy into a facist state. Albeit for a short time period. On the other hand, Mussolini referred to Nazi Germany, and his good pal, Adolf, as National Socialist. That is an accurate assessment.

obummer and his ilk technically are not National Socialists. They are socialists (on a short path to communists) but they are not "nationalists." Instead they are Global Socialists. They seek to destroy national boundaries/borders in favor of the one-world system. Hitler sought to dominate the world, as a super power, for the benefit of Germany (and to a lesser extent any allies, although, they would have been advised to keep a close eye on that rascal). They are equally bad and need to be destroyed.

Why is anyone even entertaining Guisslap's lack of intelligence in here still? Maybe you guys just enjoy workin' out those fingers on the keyboard. :)

He doesn’t lack intelligence. He is pretty smart and usually knows what he is talking about and can support his position. He just gets it wrong sometimes like the rest of us.


Well, rest of you. ;)

I think we are all missing the point and get off on our "opinions."

I hope this might help:

What is this ignorance going on at the stadiums?

As the band strikes up the Star Spangled Banner, what is your attention called to? The speeding ticket you got? The down to business attitude of the officer that pulled you over (like he’s had a great day). Maybe you think of how angry you are your employer let you go because of economic conditions. Can you justify ignoring the flag? Or, do you humble yourself and think of how your liberties have been granted by the thousands who have sacrificed that you have the liberty to be standing right there at that event. Take a knee, or sit for your grievance? POOR YOU.

Supporters say players are peacefully exercising their free speech rights “on the best stage available.” (1)
THIS IS MY ISSUE!!!!!!!! What makes this the “ best stage? ” Best for WHAT?
Yes, the best stage to cause dis-unity and controversy. The evil is not in the act of standing/kneeling/protesting. The issue is when and where.

These people should take their protest to a more appropriate time and place.

Buy air time to express your opinion. March on the Capitol mall. Write letters to the editors of all the “dead tree” tabloids or internet opinion outposts.

Am I the only one who sees these events very similar to the Westboro Baptist “Church’s” protest at the funerals of fallen soldiers?

That is absolutely wrong, regardless of our “claim” of a right to free speech.

Does a prisoner have the “right” to boo or sit when the national anthem is played because he is in prison? Does a wealthy person have the right to disrespect the flag because he can afford to? That makes no sense. Should someone who has been blessed with talent and abilities many others don’t have, show their gratitude by ignoring the symbol of the liberty that provided them the opportunity to be in that venue?

Come on man !

“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.” (1)

There you have it –politicizing the moment. Shame on you. Now, go protest the Green Bay Press Gazette for expressing opinion in a “news story,” or are you used to it?

Yes, I know -just my opinion.

It is the best stage for getting attention. It's hard to argue with that. If they buy television ads, they can be easily ignored. If you gather and protest outside of a government building people can simply change the channel. Because people are so conditioned to stand at attention, stop what they are doing and face the flag. It's a little shocking when someone doesn't follow the norm on this because it is such a simple act and so easy to comply. He knew when he did it that it would get attention and he would be asked why. And it worked exactly as planned. Unfortunately he wasn't quite ready to be asked why and the "movement" has morphed into something very different.

Your view of the movement (and what it has morphed into) has more to do with your chosen source for the news and how they present the movement (including which voices and statements (partial or full) that they amplify) than what the people that are part of the movement actually think or say about the matter.

Not only possible but almost definitely. I bet you are making assumptions on my choice of sources though.

Not arguing that it didn't "work as planned." I'd even agree it did work as planned.

So let me get this right. If I have a complaint about people labeling me a bigot, narrow-minded, hate-monger and I want to protest, I should set or bow during the national anthem? Boy, all this time I've been brain-washed to respect the flag and what it stands for. What a wimp I am. No wonder no one listens to me and my cause. I've been "ineffective" not choosing to voice my plea at the expense of a time of honoring the symbol of my liberty to b!tch.
Stage for getting attention is what it is huh? (I bet all the vets out there appreciate that, and that none are offended by that premise)
Thanks. Now I understand. Silly me.:o:shocked2:

Football’s decline has some high schools disbanding teams

With serious organized football starting at such an early age, lots of kids who decide they want to play at a later age are having fewer opportunities to participate. Then throw in the increasing awareness of CTE, more parents are encouraging their kids to pursue other sports.

Not accurate at all. Lots of kids wait until Jr High to begin organized football and make it big. Most kids don't show their growth potential until high school.

Not at all what I read in the article.

Look at the racial makeup of football at college and nfl. I'm pretty sure a very low percentage of those players had access to little league football.

We are talking about a 5 year trend in high school (and lower) participation. Kids are playing the one sport all year long, so they are doing fewer sports in total.

“Parents and/or their children are specializing in sports at an earlier age, or at least determining much earlier whether a particular sport or activity is for their liking.

I would posit that like in many other sports, the kids who show a lot of ability early are sticking with it, while those who struggle are looking for alternatives. Also, part of Pop Warner’s decline might be that with the hard core established at a young age, parents are looking for leagues they feel like have the best competition and coaching, and in some cases might feel their local Pop Warner league is wanting in that department, just like how travel-team baseball has become a strong competitor against the long-established Little League International.“

Exactly what the liberal elitist want to happen. They are the violent ones but want the paid to view "violence" to stop. And if truth be known, I bet they hate the "average Joe" (born poor at birth)
athlete being able to become a millionaire many time over and a celebrity at that. Remember, it's even these type they want aborted (too many mouths to feed in the world) by their own words.

POLL: NFL Drops as Favorite Sport...

Over just one month of player, coach and owner protests of the flag and National Anthem, the National Football League has gone from America's sport to the least liked of top professional and college sports, according to a new poll.
From the end of August to the end of September, the favorable ratings for the NFL have dropped from 57 percent to 44 percent, and it has the highest unfavorable rating -- 40 percent -- of any big sport, according to the Winston Group survey provided exclusively to Secrets.

According to the poll analysis, "more critically for the NFL, the fall off in favorables occurred among important audiences. Among males, NFL favorables fell 23 percent, going from 68 percent to 45 percent. In looking at a more specific audience, males 34-54, NFL favorables fell 31 percent, going from 73 percent to 42 percent. Among this group the NFL has a surprising negative image, as it went from +54 percent in August to -5 percent in September."
The Winston Poll was of brand images for the NFL, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, and college football and basketball. It was of 1,000 registered voters and taken August 29-30 and then again September 28-29.
In August, baseball had the highest favorables, just a few points above the NFL.

Of course he and his team linked arms during the national anthem rather than salute the flag. He is a businessman though, at the end of the day, he sees the money is leaving and people are turning it off.
