| Seven San Francisco 49ers take knee for national anthem as protests lose their mojo |
| 2017-10-16 |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] You know the NFL take-a-knee protests have lost their oomph when even the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... 49ers can only muster seven kneelers. The San Francisco team has led the league in protesters ‐ by a lot ‐ in the last two weeks, with 30 players refusing to stand for the national anthem on Oct. 1 and then 23 on Oct. 8, which prompted Vice President Mike Pence to walk out of the game. At Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins, however, just seven players, all 49ers, took a knee on the sideline, while the rest stood. Last week in Indianapolis, 20 players on the Niners knelt during the anthem, prompting a walk-out from Vice President Mike Pence. Fox Sports, which carried the game at FedEx Field on Sunday, did not broadcast the national anthem ceremony. The protests peaked in Week 3 after President Trump suggested at a Sept. 22 rally that team owners should fire any "son of a bitch" who refuses to stand. |

| #1 Maybe next week the NFL players can start "taking a leak" instead of a knee. |
