    They will let him play... another team. Outside of the five teams that donated 1 million dollars to Donald Trump... of course Bob was one of them.

    Players around the league have donated a ton of money to charitable causes. They have nothing to prove.

    None of the Texans should get cut for their protesting as they will get what they want. They should be fined and suspended. Not sure but if Brown gets suspended I wonder if that would effect his contract status locking him up for another year? Maybe he'll get frustrated and retire all together.

    Check my history I can't stand LEO abuse and behavior. In fact I've signed several petitions(wrote to congressman) and have donated to several groups for the cause. So I know where stand but I don't want that **** part of my sports entertainment.

    As for the players protesting at work. It's totally ineffective and coounter productive. It's a sports match not the Whitehouse or Washington Mall. Pick a time and place and send your message the right way. Protesting discrimination and racials/social issues in a stadium blows up your message. Maybe try a protest/march in D.C. or NFL HQs or some place appropriate. You know Warriors skipping pit on Whitehouse was great because what a perfect time and place. Imagine if they decided to skip a game or practice. Would habe totally screwed up.their message. That's my point, don't destroy my Sunday and the message. They've managed to do both imo.

    Why should one get fined and suspended for a knee bend?

    You'll answer "employees who protest during work hours usually get fired".

    But the. You leave out this important part: How many employees that doesn't include the military play the national anthem every work day and the proceeds to force their employees to stand for it?

    I think having a half hour jingiost fest payed by tax payer money before every football game is more concerning and odd than a knee bend.

    But then again, im just more rational.

    I actually don't understand what youJudy wrote. But I challenge all kneeling plea to get their assess to a march in the off-season. That's my point, spare me the pretend low effort protest that actually hurt the cause.

    Do you personally follow every NFL player who needs their knee and see if they provide charity or work with their communities? Or do you just make assumptions?

    Also, the pregame 'honoring the vets and flag' extravanganza show that happens before every NFL game is payed by the DOD(our tax paying money) for recruitment purposes. That's why they are there. The NFL couldn't give two ***** about patriotism. It's about money... Tax payer money.

    NBA fines players if they don't stand for the anthem.

    You're focused on a knee bend when no one is really talking about that. We talking all the bullshit this week by Texans players and the idiot brown.

    So FUane Brown was mad about comments McNair made in 2008 regarding the election and comments he made about Sterling but he still signed an extension? You dont see that as hypocritical? Now he is due an extension and is getting vociferous. He didn't bother to show up for the 1st 6 games for his 'brothers' now he is the lead vigilante? Please. Dude is all about money. Brown can go kick rocks.

    Their employer compared them and their Ilk as inmates because of a knee bend so ya it kinda goes back to the knee bend.


    Again, our owner could be wearing a MAGA hat and chastise the knee bends all day but I'll still follow the Texans and watch every single one of their games.

    I've watched every Texan game this season. If you watched the same games as I did with the same broadcasting cast, I know you are full of bullshit because I could hardly remember an instant during a Texan game during this season where the play by play guys were discussing knee bends and anthems.

    Your outrage is fake and it's obvious.
