For the record, I watched and almost enjoyed watching the Iowa-Penn State game. Everything was great until the last four seconds.
So it’s not like I won’t watch sports.
I just won’t watch any sports that are a disgrace to themselves and especially to the country they’re living and performing in.
I’ll look for a Alejandro Villanueva #78 Steeler jersey. At least, if it turns out he didn’t blunder into standing for the national anthem all by himself by mistake as one report says.
But I sure won’t be watching him play, I’m afraid. Because all of his teammates are either traitors, cowards, or what is actually most likely, cowardly traitors.
An entire NFL TEAM is completely sold out to supporting our worst enemies: Islamic State, al Qaeda, North Korea. They’d fit in great in the NFL, wouldn’t they?
I am making a vow: I will not watch another NFL game until the NFL commissioner resigns and the league institutes a rule that all players be required to stand for the national anthem or be fired with a complete loss of all benefits.
Let’s get one thing factually straight: this whole kneeling crap was started by a pathetic turd named Colin Kaepernick. And Kaepernick – whose jersey I wouldn’t wear for any offer you would ever make me because I won’t represent that fool – had two statements accompanying his kneeling. That: 1) “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” And 2) wore socks depicting police officers as pigs, in other words as animals that are mass butchered. Both statements combine into something that is frankly both disgusting and insane given that racism is clearly not the reason black people are shot when you simply consider something called “reality,” and given that blacks are more likely TO KILL COPS than to be killed by cops according to FBI data which state that 40% of all cop killers are black, and given that whether the killer is a cop or just a thug, the vastly overwhelming majority of blacks are killed by other blacks rather than by white cops.
Colin Kaepernick is a sick, disgusting, depraved man. And everyone who kneels with him is similarly sick, disgusting and depraved. And any league that enables this sick, disgusting and depraved behavior is itself sick, disgusting and depraved.
But as for one guy, he’s a hero twice over:
The entire Pittsburgh Steelers team remained in the locker room during the national anthem, with the exception of one player: Army veteran Alejandro Villanueva, who plays offensive tackle for the Steelers.
While the rest of his teammates remained in the locker room, Villanueva stood in the tunnel holding his helmet in his left hand and holding his right hand over his heart as the anthem played.
Villaneuva played in college at West Point Military Academy before going on to become an Army Ranger. He served three tours in Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor. He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 before eventually joining the Steelers.
An NFL.com article earlier this year said that Villanueva first caught Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s eye “because of the way he stood during the national anthem.”

In an NFL game in London, the Ravens and Jaguars BOTH knelt for the US national anthem and then stood to honor the performing of God Save the Queen.
Which is to say that the NFL has now disgraced the United States of America on foreign soil.
And they would have happily stood for the North Korean anthem, too. The vile rat bastards.
Mike Tomlin and the rest of the NFL can eat my puke. Which would easily feed the entire league of big eaters if I watched a game at this point.
Everybody else in the entire NFL, and everybody who is roach enough to watch after today, stands ashamed by this one courageous hero who stood for the call of duty for a second time. Especially if they’re taking a knee when they ought to be standing or sitting on a couch when they ought to be changing the channel. Pittsburgh Steeler leftist activist coach Mike Tomlin, in claiming that by keeping his team in the locker room during the national anthem he was keeping them from having to make a tough personal decision is such a load of rotten baloney it is unreal. And Alejandro Villanueva proved that it was an obviously bogus claim by having to make the incredibly tough personal decision to go out all by himself and be the only player on his team who loved his country – that he fought for courageously enough to wear a bronze star for serving.
Tomlin said in a post-game press conference that he was looking for “100 percent participation” in whatever course of action the team took during the national anthem.
When asked by a reporter about Villanueva coming out for the anthem, Tomlin said, “Like I said, I was looking for 100 percent participation, we were gonna be respectful of our football team.”
Really, you butthurt turd? How about if I prefer people who are gonna be respectful of our nation instead?
The left – that’s the people who dishonor our flag, our national anthem and our nation right now – claim this is about race and about freedom of speech. Both are bogus pseudo excuses. Because first of all, if this truly IS about race – meaning that on account of race, black people cannot be trusted to honorably represent the United States of America because of the color of their skin – then we need to ship out every single black person lock, stock and barrel. If you can’t be trusted, then get out. We were wrong to inter Japanese-Americans because most of them were truly loyal to their adopted country. But if race truly IS the issue, then that state-of-affairs that made the Japanese internment during WW2 wrong does not exist. And we have to get these people who hate this country simply because of the color of their skin the hell out.
Hey, we just had a black man go into a predominantly white church and start murdering people. Now, I would have argued that it was because he was a) Muslim and b) a Sudanese immigrant who doesn’t give a flying damn about American values. But if we’re doing this crap just because we’re black, well, we have to get these people out. Period. That isn’t racist any more because the racists are the ones who hate us just because they’re black and we’re white. No, this is about protecting your family from people who want to kill you because of the color of your skin.
So if this IS about “race,” we need to have the same kind of discussion about the previously unthinkable that we have to now have with a nuclear-weaponized North Korea and a war that would result in 20,000 South Korean deaths a day until it went nuclear. In both cases, we are arriving at a situation that cannot continue to exist no matter how costly it is to correct the condition.
No, the butthurt kneeling during the national anthem isn’t about “race.” It is about a small group of people who are hijacking a good thing in the name of their own brand of racism. If it’s truly about “race,” then ship out the race that can no longer play by the rules.
And free speech? Really? You know, it’s interesting: I am a fundamentalist Christian and my entire adult life the very same people who now tell me that they should have the free speech right to disrupt a work place with their “values” have told me that I don’t have the right to project MY values. If NFL players have the right to physically demonstrate their contempt for America during the public national anthem, then I have the right to have Christian paraphernalia all over my desk with Christian posters on the wall around it and I have the right to tell every single co-worker and every single customer about Jesus and the eternal consequences of ignoring his salvation. But I don’t have that right. Because these people are the same hypocrites who are screaming and even physically beating conservatives for attempting to exercise their free speech rights at leftist bastions like Berkeley. And there isn’t one liberal who has the integrity of a cockroach anymore.
Steeler roach Tomlin wanted “100 percent participation”? Thank you but no, you Adolf. But you see how this game works: only the “100 percent participation” the left wants, with no right to disagree with their “100 percent participation.”
Just staying in the sports world, I remember how Curt Schilling was fired by ESPN for a tiny FRACTION of the divisive commentary that Jemele Hill got away with on the same network. Because of Tomlin’s “100 percent participation” rule and how it is applied such that you must participate ONLY in the depraved leftist worldview.
We have watched the left create an atmosphere of rabid intolerance at any who depart from their “righteous doctrine.” The left are the modern Pharisees today, because Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for self-righteousness and for hypocrisy. And when the left screams at us that their vile ways are righteous and ours are evil with the intent to scream us down or beat us down if we even try to speak because they claim that their morality is the only one that should even be allowed to exist in the public square, we have come full circle to the people famous for murdering Jesus. And liberals would just as gleefully murder Jesus today as their self-righteous, hypocritical forebears were 2,000 years ago.
“Art” has been replaced by “ideology.” You don’t have the right to create anything that disagrees with prevailing leftist dogma that keeps transforming into ever more vile evil with every passing week. Artists like bakers, florists and photographers are being sued into poverty by the same people who now scream that THEY should have the rights they have systematically denied others for years. If I should be compelled to bake and decorate a wedding cake for a homosexual marriage in spite of my moral convictions that say this is wrong, why shouldn’t Beyonce be forced to sing a song that expresses what the Holy Bible says will happen to homosexuals for their abominations?
If this is actually and truly about free speech rights, liberals, then it’s about way-past-too-long that you gave the people YOU disagree with free speech rights.
The NFL isn’t about “free speech.” The NFL BANNED Tim Tebow for kneeling in prayer after he scored a touchdown. So what the league is saying is that it is wrong to kneel in prayer, but it is good to kneel in treason.
This isn’t about anything other than a hatred for America. The same hatred we are seeing as liberals tarnish and destroy historical symbols of Abraham Lincoln and most of our founding fathers who brought forth a new nation. And the above paragraph stands as adequate to demonstrate that the leftists who despise Lincoln and the founding fathers most certainly do NOT want this nation to be conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. They don’t want White Lives Matter; they demand only Black Lives Matter. And if anyone says White Lives Matter these fascists violently riot at the mere suggestion.
NFL players are now fine with people who torture and horribly kill dogs that don’t do a good enough job performing their masters’ despicable bidding to tear other dogs apart.
NFL players are now fine with players who beat women and drag their unconscious bodies out of elevators.
And now they’re fine with treason, as well.
This is the Numerous Felons League.
I hope it stands for Not For Long. Because the NFL ought to go the way of the worst disgraces in our history over this disgraceful debacle they have decided to champion.
NFL commissioners, owners, coaches and players are standing solidly behind disrespecting the nation and saying that the league should “support teammates” in disrespecting America. That is the mindset of the left today: support your team. Your team being your race team, for example. President Trump made it crystal clear that rather than supporting your team, you should support your COUNTRY. He clearly is pointing out that the real issue that matters is “respect for our country, flag and national anthem.”
This just isn’t going to work out very well for the NFL if there are decent people in this country. President Trump gave voice to the working-class Americans the left no longer gives a damn about and how frankly pissed off these people who have built the country far more than these butthurt millionaire prima-donna jockstraps are at the garbage they now have to face just to to watch a damned football game.
I dare say that if these prima donnas had tried to pull this stunt after the greatest generation had returned home to America after defeating Nazism and Japanese fascism, they would have not so gently lifted up those who refused to stand in honor of their flag and their country.
It’s a clear line now: do you love your team or do you love your COUNTRY? And if you love your team first, then get the hell out of my country and take your damn miserable worthless team with you.
Please understand: the national anthem does NOT celebrate ANY president, nor is it a statement that American has always been good or that America has always been just or even that America is a good place or a just place now. What the national anthem DOES celebrate is those who sacrificed their lives so that the rest of us could have the freedom to say that America isn’t a perfect place. And if you are fool enough to stand in disgraceful protest of that freedom, you are a true hypocrite. For you are literally protesting that you have the freedom to protest.
And the left is right now, today, working furiously to take that freedom away from anyone with whom they don’t agree. They demand “100 percent participation.” THEIR way.
We now have a crystal clear distinction with what it means “to serve with honor and distinction”: for the left, it is a transvestite traitor named Bradley Manning. For decent Americans, it is Alejandro Villanueva. And whether or not you continue to support the NFL will prove which side you are on.
You are a true man and a true hero, Alejandro Villanueva. I wish I could have stood there with you when you were the only man worthy of honoring the greatest nation in the history of the world. Your bronze star proves your honorable service on the battlefield, but I truly believe you served your country more on Sunday by being the only man to stand up when everyone else was refusing to do so. It is true when I served and it is just as true today: Rangers lead the way. May God bless you and protect you, Alejandro.
Well, anyway, I’m updating to take back my hero worship of Alejandro Villanueva. It ought to show people capable of decency that no, we “white conservative Christians” aren’t motivated by racism, but by decent values. And when a Hispanic man did something that was worthy of praise, people like me praised him. But now we’re finding that unfortunately, this man didn’t do what most people believe he did: he just made an idiotic mistake and now says “I threw my teammates under the bus, unintentionally” and “Every time I see that picture of me standing by myself, I feel embarrassed.”
Just like I now feel embarrassed I singled you out for praise when you are just wanting to mindlessly stand by your teammates when we believed you were courageously standing by your nation and your country.
So it turns out that there isn’t even ONE hero in the entire NFL.
But having said that, there IS one hero in this country, after all. His name is Donald Trump. And his attack on the NFL for its treason is having an effect such that the teams are suddenly not kneeling anymore. Because Trump hurt the league and the league stands for MONEY and the players suck on the tit of that money and the fact that all of these butthurt millionaires aren’t giving their MONEY to support the causes they claim to aspire to is all the proof of that you need. The ratings were ALREADY declining because of the treason of the NFL according to a CBS study. I myself will never watch another NFL game again unless and until the NFL commissioner is fired and every single player who refuses to honor his country is automatically fired. The fake news media isn’t covering it as what it is because they are agenda-driven ideologues rather than reporters of “news”: but lo and behold, from the Monday night game on – after fans started having their say about the league’s despicable attitude toward our country, our anthem and our flag – we aren’t seeing players kneeling, but we are now seeing players STANDING and locking arms. The Cowboys kneeled before the anthem and then stood up for it on Monday night. As did their Monday night opponents, the Cardinals. Again, on Thursday night, the players on both teams stood and locked arms. Which I’m fine with and which President Trump is fine with. The fake news media is actually claiming that these players are doing this in defiance of Trump, but any honest reporting would conclude that Trump demonized them for KNEELING, and guess who aint kneeling anymore but STANDING the way the man who kicked their damn coward asses told them to do???
Again, the real traitors to this country are the REPORTERS who refuse to report the TRUTH. The NFL players are just useless idiots.
