Ravens and Jaguars players just took knees against this country on foreign soil! If this is not the last straw for you...you are as bad as these illiterate thugs!

Translation:
Ravens and Jaguars players just kneeled before a foreign country's flag and national anthem, which means they are betraying ours ! If this is not the last straw for you...you are as bad as these illiterate thugs!

The NFL have said - due to the popularity of the regular season games at Wembley Stadium - that they may consider the addition of a British -based franchise. Even the possibility of hosting a future Superbowl there.
So should at least the latter come to pass, would you stand for, nay, sing "God Save The Queen"...?
If you wouldn't do the latter: why wouldn't you, traitor...?!
'But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.'

Or is your flag your 'God'...?!
At Wembley today:

But it does me no injury for my neighbour to not do as you say they should. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Are you saying that free peoples don't have the right to protest : as per your own Constitution? Meanwhile, here in Britain:

We do. You have just admitted to being a traitor to your own country.
Thank you.
Took knees? You mean like this?

Oh, it's ok when YOUR guys do it, it's not OK when others do it?
The thugs are the ones killing people for walking while black, or driving while black, just minding his/her own business while black.
It looks the same to me...

All the protests Sunday were basically Trump's fault, you know that, right? He pretty much called out the NFL. Did he not think they were going to respond?
Especially after comments like THIS:
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He is fired. He's fired!'"
@Chloe
The NFL's been doing that for a while now, trying to expand into other markets and such. They used to have pre-season games in Mexico and Japan, even. Heck, for a while, in the late 90s/early 00s, they even had a thing called "NFL Europe", basically their minor league, but with teams based in Europe.

They'd wonder why they were playing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" rather than The Star Spangled Banner.

It's only OK to take a knee when you're praying to God to thank him for making you throw a touchdown.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
