    I agree completely! Unfortunately, the only weapon we have to fight back with is to boycott. I have been doing that since all this nonsense started with Kapernick. Frankly, I miss watching football but principle MUST trump entertainment. These protesting players are overpaid, spoiled, self-indulgent thugs, no more, no less. By their actions, they are proving a lack of understanding of our great history and a serious lack of patriotism. Do they have a right to do what they're doing? Absolutely! But they will be held responsible for their actions and I, for one, hope a boycott of NFL will become significant enough to hit them where it really hurts, the pocketbook.

    It was kind of ate up today when the Ravens took a knee in London for the American anthem, but then stood when the Brits played their national anthem.

    The British must've chortled over that one.

    Fuctards they are.... the Ravens

    Ya know, I look at this the same way I look at children who are misbehaving in public as the parents stand idly by. The players are simply doing what their coaches, team owners and the NFL as a business enterprise will allow... for whatever reason. So, while I'm truly not sure all of the players are on the same page with statement they believe they're making -- there seem to be several different messages -- if the business enterprise they work for has said you're free to exercise your 1st amendment rights then it is what it is. I may not like it, but that's part of what made our nation different from so many others. Now, the recent trend in terms of the double standard for "acceptable" and unacceptable free speech. Uh, you can't have it both ways. That's censorship.

    Anyway, the NFL and most of the owners have clearly decided what they think is the least financially risky approach to dealing with this nonsense and the bottom line is the bottom line when you're running a billion dollar entertainment business. I don't buy the stuff that the NFL's advertisers are selling and don't watch TV other than when certain sporting events catch my interest and even then it's mostly background noise.

    So, for me it's the owner's and NFL that I'm looking at, not the players. They're just testing the limits of their employers and their collective bargaining agreements

    I concur. Jerry Jackass Jones did it last night also. Ever since he bought the Cowboys and treated Tom Landry like a homeless peddler, I've gone 180 degrees with the Boys and their slimy owner. My dad, who was awarded the Navy Cross for WWII Pacific action, is spinning in his grave at 5,000 rpm right now..............National FUBAR League.

    ...better things to do...

    Spent the last 114 minutes sitting in my gazebo, with scotch & cigar, watching clouds & stars go by.
    I'm perfecting my "Nothing Box."

    Yes, I've found something much better to do than watch TV.
    Cheers,

    Melt the phone lines

    1 (800) 342-5283

    This is the number to Anheuser-Busch. They want to know how you feel about NFL players kneeling during the anthem and if they should continue supporting the NFL through advertisement dollars with a quick push button survey. Let them know what you think. Call during business hours it's an automated system and asks if are calling about the
    NFL. .Press 1 and then leave your message.
    Feel free to copy and post.

    I kneel before God and I can kneel before a flag - I served 21 years and retired as a CWO3 EOD Officer. I say if they want to kneel that's their right.

    Imagine - If Mr. Trump would have been clever he would have kept his mouth shut, then marched out on the field at the next NFL game, taken the microphone and knelt beside the players put his hand over his heart and said a prayer before or after the anthem asking all people to end the unnecessary violence we are experiencing, and make America SAFE AGAIN.

    It's whatever you want to assign (with your thoughts) to a thing or action. Be smarter than those that get sucked into the rhetoric of political hate mongering.
