DONALD TRUMP JUST COMMENTED ON THE LOW RATINGS
NFL Viewership on Thursday Night (first game of the season) dropped 13%, the lowest in nearly 10 years. Trump even tweeted about it, blaming the players protesting as the reason. This is what we mean by the other side. Please don't mind that guy. Continue to boycott games until Colin Kaepernick is signed.
NFL WILL NOT IMPLEMENT ITS ANTHEM POLICY
Our final news is that the NFL will not punish those who take a knee during this season. The NFL said "too many people have stances too strong to figure out a compromise", but "will look for ways to address social justice issues". (Our take: We believe changing the laws is the true answer, especially after listing your demands in a previous update).
That's it. Use hashtag #WhyWeKneel & share one of our graphics above to continue your true awareness. More updates are coming soon, as the season passes along.
