The NFL has taken a rational position regarding the "Kneelers" during the playing of the National Anthem,
and many of the "Kneelers" have already objected, so I will continue to voice my opinion by boycotting all
NFL Games, in actual attendance or on Television, as I have since Kapernick started this disgraceful display
of petulance by these over-rated, over-paid prima-donnas. Lose a few more "kneelers"!!!!
Haven't seen any of this display at College Games, which are more interesting anyway, so there I'll stay!

I won't watch either. You know it was the lack of attendance and viewers last year that made the NFL leadership put their foot down on this disgraceful act of UnAmericanism . Tell them to take their money and leave the country if they h**e it so much. Besides with their money they don't have to put up with r****m. I'm married to a Korean and I do know what prejudice is first hand. We have been married for 42 years today. So you know how it was 40 years ago. Using the movies and media to make a stand on political things is just not entertainment to me. Can you imagine the girls football team protested equal rights and started burning their bras on national TV? So hell yes boycott the NFL!

If you’re a straight, white, male, no you don’t.

I resent that remark... I am hard of hearing, have been since birth and have worn hearing aids in both ears since 3rd grade in 1956. Had a lot of prejudice from kids because of my wearing hearing aids. Your statement is a generalization of all straight white males and as such is prejudicial...

No, to the attic, where controversial topics belong.

Can you force respect on anything, be it a f**g, person, or president? Would doing so be authoritarian? In doing so, wouldn't that diminish true respect?
Do as I do, or else. Think as I think, or else.

Although I’m sorry about your hearing loss, that prejudice was from children. We’re talking about adults here, and nothing about this r****t original posting is adult.
We have to accept n**is marching in the street under the First Amendment, yet players who are peacefully protesting the mistreatment of people of color (mostly men and boys, and mostly black) are being shunned and punished.

Yes, know they have given every single player in the NFL a reason to kneel, if all and everybody does it now, will they forgo the games?

I doubt it as money would be lost.

Children can be more cruel than adults

One thing you have to remember is that the players are employees. Those of you who still work, How would your employer react to you making a political statement on the job?

Maybe. I’m not sure. I was teased a lot, too, Scott. It sucked. Even through high school. What I found as it happened when I was older is that, along with the hurt feelings, I got mad.
I would suggest the cruelty wasn’t more as children, just that perhaps it was more painful.

Quite the r****t comment there......I suppose you don’t think he’s ever been in a neighborhood of non white people, non Straight people, etc? Either that, or just a basic dumb comment.
