    NFL preseason sees kneeling, raised fists, during national anthem

    -NFL players continued to protest during the national anthem on Thursday night as the league began its first full week of the 2018 preseason.

    Some players held their fists in the air, while others decided to kneel, despite the controversy surrounding the action.

    Wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, both of the Miami Dolphins, kneeled during The Star-Spangled Banner, ahead of their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Miami Herald reported.

    Robert Quinn, a defensive end for the Dolphins, raised his fist. Philadelphia Eagles Malcolm Jenkins, who plays safety, and De'Vante Bausby, a cornerback, also raised their fists, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Defensive end Michael Bennett walked out of the tunnel as the anthem played and "spent the anthem walking toward the bench," the news outlet reported. Teammate Chris Long reportedly "placed his arm around Jenkins' shoulder" during the song...

    The NFL is in self-destruct mode.

    Male cheerleaders are being fully incorporated into the NFL fold this year, as CNN reported.
    Three men will cheer and dance alongside women on squads for the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints.
    While other teams, like the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens, have male stuntmen on their squads, these cheerleaders will be following the same routines as the women.

    Well, it used to be that the NFL was men sitting around watching men do man things. Now with the male cheerleaders it will be men sitting around watching men doing girly things.

    I think maybe men should just go out on Sunday and do their own man things instead of just watching.

    Yep - Hubby mentioned the "Male Cheerleader" thing to me a couple of days ago...

    Unbelievable!!!

    Again, it's the "Wussification" of American Men.

    Outside of boxing (which I used to be a big fan of), I have never really been a big sports enthusiast. But if I was a football fan, this would be enough to keep me from ever watching it again.

    NFL Legend Jim Brown: ‘I’ll Never Kneel and I Will Always Respect the Flag’

    If there was any NFL player that you would think would be in favor of the flag protests, it would be Jim Brown. The Cleveland Browns legend was a civil rights icon and an African-American activist during and after his professional career.

    However, that’s part of the reason why Brown says he’s against the protests. He believes it’s time to make America a better country, not just make empty gestures.

    That's nothing new. College has always had male 'cheerleaders'. They're usually gymnasts and they hold up the girls, etc.

    Why Gay Male Cheerleaders?
    By Michael Brown Published on August 10, 2018
    https://stream.org/gay-male-cheerleaders/

    In case you didn't hear the news, there will be two new cheerleaders joining NFL teams this year. The big news is that the two cheerleaders are male. They are also gay. (Just check out these celebratory stories about the men being gay.) Why in the world is the NFL doing this?

    According to reports, this will not be like normal male/female cheerleading, where the men play one (clearly masculine) role and the women another, such as the men hoisting the women high in the air.

    Not at all. Instead, the men will perform the same lewd dances and make the same suggestive moves the ladies to. (Will they be as scantily clad as the gals too?)

    What is the NFL thinking? .....





    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
