NFL Protests Are Based on a Lie - What is the Protest About?

NFL protestors claim that they are protesting "police brutality", "social injustices" and "racial inequality". To get to the truth and get past the lie, we need to look back on how to protests began, who is behind them and what those groups believe. Many people ask "what are the protests based on?", "why are players refusing to stand for the National Anthem?"

The National Anthem - It is, always has been, and always will be a sacred and solemn moment of unity in which all Americans stand with hand over heart, or military salute: right hand lifted, palm downward, to in line with the forehead. As the Star Spangled Banner anthem is played, there is to be complete silence. This is a sacred and solemn moment to honor our nation and those who fought and died for it and our freedom. This is not a time allocated for protests, regardless of what NFL owners, players, politicians, political pundits says. Protesting during the anthem is a red line - no excuses are to be made. We need to instruct these people like children and re-educate them about what the National Anthem is all about and how you are supposed to behave.

The Protest Origin - In 2016, a San Francisco 49ers quarterback started the "fad" of protesting during the national anthem, by either sitting or kneeling (refusing to stand for the national anthem). His reasoning: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder." He is specifically referencing a series of events that led to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Black Lives Matter - Connecting the dots from the NFL protest back to Black Lives Matter, let's begin with a history about how exactly Black Lives Matter began. The movement began in 2013 with the acquittal of Hispanic George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin. Black Lives Matter became nationally recognized for its street demonstrations following the 2014 death of: Michael Brown, resulting in protests and unrest in Ferguson.

BLACK [LIES] MATTER

The death of these 2 black men listed above, accounts for virtually 95% of the creation of the Black Lives Matter group and the reasoning behind their so-called calls of "social injustice" and "police brutality", and all of the national protests, riots, looting and murdered police officers that came from it. All of these NFL protestors and their supporters simply follow a one-sided, left-wing biased media and civil rights communities like sheep - without ever reading the specifics about these 2 black men, who are the ORIGIN of Black Lives Matter. Instead, these protestors and supporters follow a LIE. It's like reading the click-bait headline of a story without actually reading the story, which is very different than the headline. The problem: If these protestors only listen to their left-wing media and civil rights group (which go hand in hand - and sometimes the civil rights communities only listen to one left-wing news source), they never HEAR the other side of the story, and they [NFL protestors, celebrities, supporters] appear delusional and foolish to everyone else who knows the ENTIRE STORY.

Trayvon Martin - Let's talk about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman from way back in 2014 - this is the case that started the Black Lives Matter movement. The basics: Hispanic man George Zimmerman is part of a neighborhood watch volunteer (a samaritan neighbor who keeps an eye out in their own neighborhood). Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin because he thought he was suspicious. Martin then confronted Zimmerman and initiated physical violence. Martin got Zimmerman on the ground and repeatedly bashed his head on a solid concrete sidewalk. Out of fear for his life and unable to defend himself, he pulled a gun out, shot and killed Trayvon Martin in clear and justifiable self defense. If you are a black man, and some stranger physically attacks you, repeatedly slams your head on concrete and there is nothing you can do to escape, would you consider using a gun in self-defense? OF COURSE YOU WOULD - END OF STORY - NO PROTEST.

The Lie - The left-wing media reported on this story and posted a photo of Trayvon Martin from what he looked like when he was 5 years old. The media then showed a mugshot photo of big George Zimmerman in an orange convict jumpsuit. The media made it look like some violent convict went out and shot this innocent little child. Everyone who saw that thought it was really bad. They are thinking "Why did a big guy like Zimmerman have to shoot a 5-year old instead of just throwing him aside?":

Turns out, this was a real lie by the media (Fake News before Donald Trump coined the term). The Civil Rights Communities and Black Lives Matter continued to push this lie. Many people today still believe the lie and they still believe Trayvon Martin was just a 5-year old boy killed by an ex-con. They don't realize that the "real" Trayvon Martin was a much older, larger 5'11" man who attacked George Zimmerman and got killed in self-defense. Black Lives Matter celebrates the poor choice and poor behavior of Martin based on the lies that the media feeds them. In regards to the NFL protests: What does this have to do with "police brutality", "social injustices" and "racial inequality"? Absolutely nothing!

Then President Barrack Obama was quoted as saying "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon."? President Obama inserted himself into the situation and took a side (made a judgment) before hearing the facts or allowing the court system to make a ruling. Was his quote based on the photo of the 5-year old child, or the violent 17-year old 5'11" thug? The media ran with Obama's comments, further reinforcing the Black "Lies" Matter movement from a fringe group into a more "legitimate", mainstream group.

George Zimmerman was eventually acquitted by the Department of Justice. His shooting in self defense is legal and justifiable. There was no evidence of civil rights violations, racism or hate crimes, no evidence of wrong-doing. It's sad that Trayvon Martin was killed, but Trayvon Martin has only himself and his poor judgment to blame. Meanwhile, George Zimmerman's life is ruined, he gained 100+ pounds in 16 months, became jobless, lost his wife and home, and is threatened on a daily basis by those in Black Lives Matter and other hate groups, while Obama fanned the flames of hatred against him.

Michael Brown - This was the next major event that propelled Black Lives Matter into the mainstream. The basics: In 2014, Ferguson, Missouri, 18-year old Michael Brown (6'4" tall and 295 lbs) robbed a Ferguson Market and Liquor store, stole a box of cigars and assaulted the store clerk. The police reported a "stealing in progress" over dispatch, describing the appearance of the robber. Police Officer Darren Wilson at the time was responding to a call of a baby with breathing problems. Later, Wilson reported back in service and located Michael Brown walking in the middle of the street and fitted the description of the robber.

Officer Wilson was in a police SUV and located the suspects and drove past. Moments later, he backed up and stopped close to them. Michael Brown then reached through the window of the police SUV and a struggle broke out between Officer Wilson and Michael Brown. Brown reportedly was fighting with the Police Officer and trying to take his gun, but was shot in the hand during the struggle. Brown and his friend fled and Officer Wilson got out of the vehicle and pursued the criminals. After Officer Wilson caught up with Michael Brown, Brown had a second chance to surrender, but again ran back at the Officer and tried to attack him. Fearing for his safety, Officer Wilson was forced to shoot Brown, who died at the scene.

The Lie - A large number of false witnesses lied and claimed Michael Brown had his hands up and that Officer Wilson shot him in the back and the back of the head in execution style. However, cold hard science and forensics PROVED that Brown was shot in the front, which is consistent with other witnesses who were telling the truth. Black Lives Matter created the slogan "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!" based ON A LIE. Al Sharpton and the left-wing fake news media perpetuated with it. Sadly, there are still many blacks (and whites) who don't have the slightest clue that "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!" never happened, because they listen only to liars (and Satan is called the Father of Lies). However, Black Lives Matter lifts up that obvious lie and uses it as their banner (which is why they will never be credible)! Anyone who has heard the ENTIRE story will look at these groups and the left-wing media as delusional fools.

The U.S. Department of Justice concluded the "hands up" account was inaccurate.

The results: "the U.S. Department of Justice reported the conclusion of its own investigation and cleared Wilson of civil rights violations in the shooting. It found forensic evidence supported the officer's account, that witnesses who corroborated the officer's account were credible, and that witnesses who had incriminated him were not credible, with some admitting they had not directly seen the events.[8][10] The U.S. Department of Justice concluded Wilson shot Brown in self-defense." This is one of the most thoroughly investigated cases in US history and even Obama's DOJ office clears Officer Wilson as innocent.

After Officer Wilson's acquittal, riots, vandalism and looting (more thieves and robbers) engulfed Ferguson.

In regards to the NFL protests: What does this have to do with "police brutality", "social injustices" and "racial inequality"? Michael Brown was a thug, a robber, a thief and criminal who attacked an innocent store clerk, robbed him and then attacked an innocent police officer and tried take his gun. The Black "Lies" Matter movement continues to celebrate Michael Brown and his poor judgment, poor choices and poor behavior. These NFL protestors, who refuse to stand for the National Anthem, are defending thugs like Michael Brown and their behavior. It's the left-wing NFL's celebration of stupidity and poor choices.

The Aftermath - In nearly every future case of blacks being killed by the police, the victim was either committing a crime or not cooperating with police officers. In extremely rare cases (such as with inexperienced police officers), the police do sometimes make mistakes and they are rightfully fired or charged with a crime as the justice system sees fit. The system works, but NFL protestors ignore this and simply believe their delusional lies that police are evil people, like Nazis, out to kill blacks.

Black Lives Matter continued as anti-police, anti-American group. In many of their public marches, they began chanting: "What do we want? DEAD COPS! When do we want it? NOW!, and: Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon. A number of police officers were murdered ambush style as a direct result of the Black Lives Matter terrorist organization. There is a meaning to Black "LIES" Matter, and it's deadly consequences. As we stated in the beginning of this article, the NFL protests are a DIRECT result of BLM and their lies, and we just proved it.

The Good News: - Most of mainstream America considers Black Lives Matter a radical hate group, in the same category as the Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, KKK, Nation of Islam, Black Panthers and Antifa. It's a fringe group and most blacks are against it, just as most white are against the Nazis and KKK. The ironic part is these NFL protestors just don't realize it, just as the left-wing media is clueless. They are ungrateful millionaire spoiled brats.
