$448 MILLION is the combined salary of the 17 players protesting the national anthem in London
The 17 Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars players who took a knee during the presentation of the national anthem in London on Sunday have combined total contracts of nearly $450 million.
Combing the total value of each players contracts adds up to a whopping $448,373,425, a figure greater than the gross domestic product of over a handful of the world’s nations.
ESPN reported that 10 Ravens players and roughly the same number of Jaguars players took a knee during the national anthem Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Ravens players include: Terrell Suggs , C.J. Mosley , Za’Darius Smith , Tim Williams , Tyus Bowser , Mike Wallace , Carl Davis , Tony Jefferson , Anthony Levine , and Lardarius Webb .
On the Jaguars sideline, Jalen Ramsey , A.J. Bouye, Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue, Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, and Leonard Fournette.
The players were likely kneeling in response to recent comments from President Donald Trump regarding the ongoing protests of the national anthem at NFL games across the country.
Trump said Sunday morning that NFL owners should either fire or suspend players who kneel during the national anthem, and fans should not keep watching games if players continue to protest.
“If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!,” the president tweeted Sunday morning.
The president’s comments come on the heels of an impassioned speech he gave in Huntsville, Ala., Friday evening. He came out swinging in his comments against NFL players who choose to kneel during the national anthem.
“The only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it’s one player, leave the stadium. I guarantee things will stop. Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore, anyway,” Trump told a group gathered in Huntsville Friday.
“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. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!”

No President is going to come between me and my country. I don't stand for the President. I stand for the country.
What does the seeded article have to do with anything?
If numbnuts wasn't rich , he wouldn't be president now.
Just shows you how far they are willing to go to support something they believe in regardless of their wealth LOL
So basically rich people no longer have to worry about inequality?
There is no inequality.
Suuurrreee it isn't!..../s
And that difference has absolutely nothing to do with them protesting......except to you obviously
Well thank God he's rich then. He may be numbnuts, but at least Hillary isn"t President.
but at least Hillary isn"t President
The best reason to vote for him!
That was a short drive.
THAT ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done.
He's ignorant.
As well as his bush bunched hair! It looks like a bird's nest! I wonder if he has checked it lately?
He's clearly ignorant or purposely promoting a murderous dictator.
It is not about his natural hair, but about the length he is growing it. It is ridiculous!
So unarmed blacks are not being shot and killed by police more?
The justice system doesn't treat blacks more unfairly than their white counterparts?
Blacks aren't treated more unfairly by cops than whites?
Please show me the lie about any of these things BLM was founded on
Umm huh…..
Jobs
Justice System
Policing
Housing
Military
Education
Which one of these examples fall under, being too short? Being too tall? Too poor?…….oh! I see I guess it’s being born a Democrat black
So in other words the right believe that you can have this job or this education or this house….we just aint going to give it to you! While the left believes if you qualify for this job or house or schooling you should have it…….that about sums it up?
I'll take the first link
"Fryer didn’t adjust for the entire U.S. population and, instead, stuck to certain racial disparities in certain cities"
That skewed the result so it is hard to draw conclusions from his study. Later in the article another study compared national numbers. That wasn't a comparison to cops killing blacks but total homicide. Other than an attempt to fan flames the link was useless. Par for the course at Huffpo.
(Using FBI ucr data from the Holder/Lynch DOJ.) In America almost half of the homicides are black yet they only represent less than 13% of the population. That works out to a black homicide rate of about 15/100k compared to the white rate of 2/100k.
Blacks kill twice as many whites as whites kill blacks.
What is being overshadowed by the NFL noise is the black on black genocide that is happening now. That is a problem that will only be dealt with by the black community. Any white that points out the carnage will get clubbed with being called racist.
The most likely homicide victim in America today is a young black male. He will likely not be killed by a cop or a white but by another young black male.
Lookout Ausmth, you may get a knockout punch or a gang raiding you little store and taking all the merchandise they want. Lawlessness.
I put this on another article. I could put dozens more of them.
Tired of the MSM and others only showing one side of the coin.
That was so disturbing! Where are the Reverends? No protest marches?
Racist kids!
