How Many NFL Players Will Take Knees During the Anthem This Week?

[Science Friction]

Some say it may be dozens ....

[THE SHERIFF]

There are approximately 1200 black players in the NFL. One dozen equates to 1%. I think anything less than 10% would be surprising. That would be about 120 players.

How big will CK tease his fro out this week? It's pretty outstanding.

How many of them should kneel down and kiss the ground of the country they are able to disrespect and still be millionaires?

[Run To State]

Hopefully not a single Cowboy does.

That's a good point. But I don't have a problem with their form of protest. If that's how they feel they need to make a their statement, more power to them.

On the 15th anniversary of 9/11? I would hope no one takes a knee.

Yeah, that likely will lessen the number who take a knee. The protestors will feel the pressure to stand. We'll see.

On that date of all dates, even Kaepernick should stand for the National Anthem.

My guess is he will. We'll see.

If it weren't 9/11, I'd say probably 150-200. Roughly 10% of each team. Since it is, I'd say maybe 1 or 2 a team. Number will be much higher next week IMO.

That would be a real shame.

They should make Kaepernick spend some time at a VA hospital.

I'll quit the league altogether if more than 1 or 2 a team do it on 9-11 .. But I've almost quit caring about it anyway .. Thugs and prima donas rule the nfl - I've seen enough .

As it is I watch more college than pro football. If there are one or two on that day, I may stop watching pro altogether as well. We too can protest.
