As the NFL continues to become mired in problems related to players protesting the national anthem, fans are letting the league know where they stand.

The Facebook group “Boycott the NFL” calls for a boycott of all NFL games on Veterans Day weekend, Nov. 11, to show support for the flag, anthem and veterans. Veterans Day is on a Saturday, and the group is encouraging fans to not watch any football games that Sunday or Monday.

The group also asked fans not to purchase NFL merchandise over the weekend.

“We will be not be watching or listening to NFL games on November 12th in solidarity with veterans around the country, as football players have continued to disrespect the national anthem, the American flag, and everything our nation stands for,” the group’s page stated.

According the group’s page, 10,000 people have already said they would take part in this event.

“Until millionaire football players stop protesting the National Anthem of the United States, we’ll be here,” it states on the page.

The notion that league players are nothing but a bunch of pampered athletes who are out of touch with their fans has driven some enthusiasts to burn jerseys and merchandise.

It’s a movement that has already gained steam as evidenced by premium TV provider DirecTV announcing it would provide refunds for fans who want to cancel their NFL Sunday Ticket package.

If this trend to hit back at the NFL gathers steam, it might be something that causes football players, coaches, owners and general managers to lose a little sleep at night, because it could hit them where it hurts — their bank accounts.

Announcements that fans are giving up on their teams surely has the NFL panicking.

As groups like “Boycott the NFL” become more popular, it could be a sign that the the league’s nightmare may only be beginning.

A six-year-old out of Pasco County, FL followed what he saw in the NFL over the weekend by kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance, and his mother is now upset that he was forced to stand.

While a few players in the NFL have been taking a knee during the national anthem since Colin Kaepernick began doing it in 2016, many players around the league reacted Sunday to President Donald Trump’s criticism of the national anthem protests by showing solidarity and taking a knee as the anthem sounded.

A first grader at Wiregrass Elementary School took a knee while holding his hand over his heart during the school’s Pledge of Allegiance and the teacher forced him to stand.

His mother then received the following text from the teacher, via Fox 13:

I just wanted to let you know that this morning when it was time to do the Pledge of Allegiance [your son[ went down on one knee. I know where he had seen it but I did tell him that in the classroom we are learning what it means to be a good citizen we’re learning about respecting the United States of America and our country symbols and showing loyalty and patriotism and that we stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I know its a sensitive issue but I wanted to make you aware. Thanks.

The boy’s mother, Eugenia McDowell, told Fox 13 that her son was “influenced” by what he had seen over the weekend and by their conversations.

According to Pasco County schools’ code of conduct, students may not participate in the daily Pledge of Allegiance with a note from their parents, but teachers cannot force a student to partake in the pledge. Teachers are told to report it to administration if a student does not stand without a note.

“It immediately caused him to think again about ever expressing himself in a way that would be different than how other people are expressing themselves,” McDowell said.

McDowell was supposed to meet with the teacher and principal over the issue Wednesday, but the teacher did not show up due to feeling attacked because McDowell got media involved.

The principal, school and McDowell all agreed it would be best for the boy to be transferred to another class, McDowell told Fox 13.

The teacher will not face official disciplinary action.

An elementary school librarian in Massachusetts rejected a donation made by First Lady Melania Trump to her school’s library.

CBS Boston reports that Cambridgeport Elementary School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was one of a select number of schools chosen by the White House to receive ten Dr. Seuss books for National Read a Book Day.

The White House chose one school from each state to send the books.

Liz Phipps Soeiro, Cambridgeport Elementary’s school librarian, penned an editorial for the Horn Book Family Reading Blog explaining why she would not accept the first lady’s gift.

“My students have access to a school library with over nine thousand volumes and a librarian with a graduate degree in library science. Multiple studies show that schools with professionally staffed libraries improve student performance,” wrote Phipps Soeiro.

Phipps Soeiro added that her school “does not have a need for these books” while claiming that underfunded school districts who are shutting down their libraries due to school choice programs could put the books to better use.

But her critique of the first lady’s gift did not end there. She also criticized Melania’s choice of books, calling the Dr. Seuss titles “tired cliches” for children’s literature.

“You may not be aware of this, but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children’s literature. As First Lady of the United States, you have an incredible platform with world-class resources at your fingertips.”

Phipps Soeiro added that the Dr. Seuss books contained illustrations “steeped in racist propaganda” and offered an alternate list of ten books that include two titles advocating for the legalization of illegal aliens.

Cambridgeport Elementary School said that the opinions expressed in Phipps Soeiro’s editorial do not reflect the school district or the school itself. They released a statement clarifying that she has been “counseled” on school policies regarding political activity:

In this instance, the employee was not authorized to accept or reject donated books on behalf of the school or school district. We have counseled the employee on all relevant policies, including the policy against public resources being used for political purposes.

Democrats are beginning to crack under the strain of terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome and by the President calling a spade a spade when it comes to flag-dissing, NFL players exhibiting their rich black athlete privilege, it is just too much to handle for some.

Considering that the Congressional Black Caucus is already three-quarters of the way batshit and even more than that racist, it only figures that some of the most irrational buffoonery is emanating from this collection of poverty pimps and race-baiters.

Take for example Democrat Rep. Al Green from Texas.

This is the same loon who issued a statement that he would be bringing impeachment charges against President Trump over his disrespect to the multimillionaire one-percenters who have spat on the flag and the troops.

Green followed up his clarion call to the lynch mob with an even more unhinged diatribe on Thursday when he demanded that ALL black Americans need to refrain from visiting the White House until Mr. Trump gets down on all fours, puckers up and plants his lips on the asses of the 200 + oppressed rich crybabies who overreached last week.

Dem lawmaker: Black Americans shouldn’t go to White House until Trump apologizes for NFL attacks https://t.co/FfA4BsVyb9 http://pic.twitter.com/No1bG8fvOl

Via the Hill “Dem lawmaker: Black Americans shouldn’t go to White House until Trump apologizes for NFL attacks”:

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) is calling on African-Americans to avoid visiting the White House until President Trump apologizes for attacking NFL players who protest during the national anthem.

“Every black person ought to give some serious consideration, if you get an invitation, as to whether you will go to the White House until he either retracts that statement or does something else to atone, because this requires atonement,” Green said in an appearance on SiriusXM radio’s “Joe Madison Show,” as first reported by CNN.

Last week, Trump called on NFL owners to fire any “son of a bitch” players who take a knee during the national anthem.

He doubled down this week, saying the league should institute a new rule mandating that players stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“The NFL has all sorts of rules and regulations,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can’t kneel during our National Anthem!”

Green said Trump’s comments were “a new level of indecency.”

“You know that in our community, there are certain lines you don’t cross. You don’t talk about a man’s mother in that fashion,” Green said. “There are consequences when you do that. There are consequences.”

The Texas Democrat called Trump’s comments “unconscionable” and said “every black person in this country ought to be up in arms about what he said.”

Green said Tuesday he will move to force a House vote to impeach Trump next week after his comments.

While it’s mighty white of Congressman Green to move the impeachment vote until next week he is yet another shining example of how the Democrats and their media lackeys have weaponized race as just another tool in their refusal to accept the legitimate results of an election.

We now live in an America where the left is engaging in such a divisive and destructive scorched-earth campaign against Trump that we may never be able to normalize race relations which have been in a downward spiral since 2009.

Sorry, the U.S. Constitution term-limited Obama’s ass – deal with it!

America has been fixated on football players who insist on kneeling during the national anthem as a form of protest. Millions of Americans view this as incredibly disrespectful, and are indignant over these protests.

A number of high-profile people have come out against the protests. On Monday, Keith Harman, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and a Vietnam combat veteran himself, issued a strong statement about the protests, according to the VFW website.

“There is a time and place for civil debate, and wearing team jerseys and using sporting events to disrespect our country doesn’t wash with millions of military veterans who have and continue to wear real uniforms on real battlefields around the globe,” Harman said in a statement.

These football players are so blinded by their desire to get a little more fame that they forget there are real Americas who fought and died for that flag. Refusing to stand for a few minutes to honor their memory is the height of disrespect.

“My oath to protect the Constitution also protects my right to vehemently disagree with how others may choose to air their grievances,” he stated.

Harman also noted that there are still Americans at war in Afghanistan, dying to defend the flag and all the freedoms it represents. The people our brave men and woman are fighting don’t care about freedom — all they want to do is destroy us.

“I stand for our flag and anthem,” Harman stated, “And I kneel for our fallen. That’s what patriots do. We rally around the flag of our country, not use it and our Constitution as both shield and sword.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

These NFL players, and the team owners who back them, don’t understand that this protest is accomplishing nothing but angering millions of Americans who hate to see the flag disrespected.

If these players actually cared about the issues that have sparked these protests, they would do something other than kneeling for a few minutes during a football game.

Rick McDaniel, the superintendent at McKinney Independent School District in North Texas, is facing a complaint for joining a prayer during a convocation last month.

“I realize that some of you, now you may not feel comfortable. And I’m alright with that. I understand,” McDaniel told the people who attended the event. “For those of you who feel comfortable praying with me that’s fine. At a minimum, we’re going to have a moment of silence.”

TheBlaze reports:

He proceeded to lead a minute-long prayer over the microphone. Fittingly, he was standing at a pulpit with a cross on it.

Still, at least one district employee in attendance filed a formal complaint, according to the Dallas Morning News.

One district employee, along with two others, filed a complaint with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which is known for targeting public prayer in schools like the one in western Kansas involving players and coaches praying after games.

Soon enough, McKinney ISD received a letter accusing the school district of violating “its obligation to remain neutral on matters of religion”.

In response to the complaint, McKinney ISD spoke with superintendent McDaniel to discuss any possible discipline for his actions, but the board maintains that it doesn’t have an “official position” about the issue. “I think that’s something Dr. McDaniel feels strongly about,” according to board president Curtis Rippee.

What if the superintendent was Muslim and led a prayer at a Mosque… would the Freedom From Religion Foundation feel the same way? I highly doubt it.

Event organizers in Poland hope to inspire at least a million Catholics to congregate along the nation’s 2,000-mile border next week to pray in celebration of a climactic 446-year-old battle that they claim saved Europe from being overrun by Islam.

According to the U.K. Daily Mail, the organizers’ appeal pertains to the “Rosary Prayer Around Poland,” an annual event where Catholic Poles pray for the well-being of their nation.

The tradition started following the naval Battle of Lepanto in 1571, which Encyclopedia Britannica notes pitted the allied Christian ships of the Holy League against the mighty armada of the Ottoman Turks. As the great battle approached, according to the National Catholic Register, Pope Pious V called upon all of Europe to pray the rosary for Christian victory against the overwhelming force of the Muslim fleet.

After the Christian victory, the pope instituted an annual feast day on Oct. 7 called “Our Lady of Victory.” But two years later, a new pope, Gregory VIII, changed the feast day’s title to the Feast of the Holy Rosary.

This year organizers hope to draw out at least a million Poles. Moreover, the Polish bishops’ conference has reportedly endorsed the event, asking all Catholics to join the prayer, even if they’re unable to be physically present at the border.

“Rosary is a powerful weapon in the fight against evil … and thousands of testimonies and documented miracles prove its extraordinary effectiveness,” the organizers wrote on their website, according to a translation from the Mail.

“We believe that if the rosary is prayed by about a million Poles along the borders of the country, it may not only change the course of events, but open hearts of our compatriots to the grace of God.”

And divine help might truly be needed if Christianity is to thrive in Europe in the future.

A report published just this week revealed that within 40 years, “the white population in France and the rest of old Europe will recede, creating a Muslim majority,” according to The Washington Times.

And it’s only to be expected that this Muslim majority will seek to usurp Europe’s traditional systems of law and replace them with Shariah law, after which will come the killing of gays, the stoning of “adulterous” women and God knows whatever else.

As far as I’m concerned, the potential Islamization of Europe needs to be nipped in the bud, and prayer is certainly a strong start on that front.
