PinOak Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Only two other teams had players kneel. Phins (3) lions (2)
BringBackOrton Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I think Tolbert was just stretching, he didn't really think he was gonna get this many carries this season.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Funny how these guys all claim to have some "great cause" that they abanded after only one week. It proves that they felt as if they were in the wrong (disrespectful). People arguing in their favor have compared their acts to other civil rights greats. I'll tell you that they don't compare in the least. True agents of change who believe in themselves don't give up after one week. Just typically political agitation that both sides love to engage in these days. Edited October 1, 2017 by DriveFor1Outta5

True, and soon the great patriots who were so insulted by the disrespect to the flag can go back to making beer runs during the national anthem. However, last week's mass kneelings were a direct response to Trump's attempts to divide the NFL, and didn't really have anything to do with the protest's original meaning.

Only a small number felt the call to kneel a few weeks ago. Others were doing whatever they saw fit outside that (ranging from nothing at all to big community involvement). Last week was simply showing unity against very ugly comments. if anything I think drives comments point towards him not getting any of the nuance because he's too revved up about it himself.
Billschinatown Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 can this bull **** go away now? We just beat Atlanta. !@#$ off.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 @darrenrovell Last week, about 180 NFL players didn't stand for the National Anthem. This week? 11. 1:21 PM - 1 Oct 2017

My thoughts exactly, but then it means that these players aren't the revolutionaries that many wanted to portray them as. They are just pawns in the endless political agitation that both sides continue to inflict upon the country.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 To be fair, we should probably have this in PPP On 10/2/2017 at 12:09 AM, 26CornerBlitz said: @darrenrovell Last week, about 180 NFL players didn't stand for the National Anthem.

That is why there was push back
