I hope that the NFL, and the players continue their shenanigans. The longer they do this, the more they alienate most Americans. And then bye-bye to their ad revenue. 

Keep it up NFL!!

The reason no one has answered you is because no one here believes that blacks suffer from excessive injustice. No one, to my memory, (but please, call me a liar again if I am misremembering) has come out in support or agreement of the kneelers' cause. They simply don't agree with a full scale boycott of the NFL. There is a difference.

"We don't want politics in our sports."

GTFO, politics is in everything!

If Trump announced a rally/speech during the Super Bowl halftime stage, the same "get politics out of sports" types here would be screaming MAGA

Even my biggest MAGA friends are bewildered why so many on social media (and here) are clutching their pearls/passing out on their fainting couches simply because of some easily ignorable nonsense.

"Oh my, we must boycott the NFL, this is just tooo much...giving me the vapors!"

And please, stop with the sanctimonious "I was OUTRAGED, I was in the stands and THREE people near me were sitting down during the anthem!  I'm a vet and that angers me!"

Excuse me? Have any of you actually hung out on a typical Marine Corps base when it's time for Colors? (and yes, I was an 03)

Half the unit is staying inside the entrances of buildings because they DON'T want to be caught outside/having to stand through it. Then you have the other groups outside that start to hear the beginning of colors and make a dead sprint to any nearby doorway so NOT to be caught outside. This isn't the shitbirds, this is EVERYONE.

This happened daily on many Marine infantry battalion bases I was stationed on or visited. I saw on Camp Horno, Mateo, Margarita/1st Recon, 29 Palms, Oki, etc..  And yes, this was 2005-2010, not some garrison peacetime. The only time you rarely saw it was on mainside or near 52/infantry school simply because you used to have terrorizing figures like SGT MAJ Vines patrolling.

I don't want to hear any recent vets become all sanctimonious because we all did our best to avoid it too. This is just the daily....not even the dreaded Friday medley.  

I still can't figure why there is so many threads about it. Why are you all so damn upset? If it bothers you so much, simply start watching the game at the kickoff? Do you avoid movies because the upcoming previews piss you off?

Who gives a shit what goes on before??? By being a bunch of "OMG, time to boycott" you sound like a bunch of triggered old ladies clutching their knitting balls. Fuck the non-football bullshit, I came to watch modern day gladiatiors trying to kill each other. If a bunch of players kneeling hurts your sensitive feelings, go watch figure skating or something. I seriously cannot believe this place and the level of butthurt.  

One last thing. Like I said earlier, my MAGA friends can't wrap their heads around why so many conservatives are literally pissing themselves over this situation (as you can see here with the 30 various threads that give up to the minute drama queen updates: "OMG Buffy, did you see that? The dolphins are now kneeling too. Better tell everyone ASAP!!" It's like you're all going out of your way to be offended just like your typical SJW pansy liberal.

My diehard MAGA friends can only assume that the usual culprits are fanning the flames: Hannity and Limbaugh. None of us watch Hannity or listen to Rush but by the amount of just pure rage/emotions over something so trivial, I can only assume Hannity/Rush are making this a BIG deal and really laying down the rhetoric (and I'm assuming they're doing the "Boycott NFL because of the thugs" since that seems to be the usual parroting/talking point here).

Everyone take a deep breath and chill out. Football is still awesome and this is the best sport in the US, hands down. We know this "protest" is just current flavor of the month and will be as relevant as Livestrong bracelets in the coming months. Meanwhile when you all realize you made a mountain out of a mole hill, you'll sit back and realize how much NFL you missed and really regret it.

This forum was the absolute last place I figured on seeing such pearl clutching over something so nonsensical. These "protestors" are like children acting up, the more you give them attention, the more they're going to push. If Trump could keep his mouth fucking shut we wouldn't have all the extra "now we need to double down!" needless drama this weekend. All he did was flame the flames and gives these kneeling fucks even MORE ammo,

In case we haven't forgot....

WOW, great idea huh? Let's stop focusing on nonsense, huh, Trump????

from 2016 about the reason for kneeling

not that it will matter to most here...but had he wanted to disrespect the flag or service members he would've just continued to sit...After discussing with a long snapper (and former Green Beret) he started kneeling to show respect to those who served and died.

Sat while injured, nobody would question an injured player sitting.

Kaepernick made headlines when he sat during the 49ers third preseason game, but he also sat during the first two games, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Kaepernick wasn’t in uniform and didn’t play during the first two games.

I'm not mad at the players for protesting during the National Anthem. You want to disrespect the flag, the Anthem, etc. then fine. At least we know where you stand (or, kneel).

What pisses me the fuck off is that they are using their time at their job to protest, when their time should be spent entertaining me. Should ALL groups get to "show solidarity" while at work? How would your employer react to you blatantly protesting, on the clock, in front of customers? Don't want to stand for the Anthem? Stay in the locker room until it's over. You don't get special privs to spout your political views while you're on the clock just because you're rich.

At least for me, it's not going to change a lot. I own all of 1 NFL shirt and I watch all of maybe 20 minutes of football per week. I'm not going to actively avoid nor seek football to watch. I don't let politics change me. If you told me Coke's CEO supported Bernie I wouldn't stop drinking it, because I like Coke, and I don't care what someone else thinks.

Sure it is something he should worry about for god's sake.

Professional sports has a PROFOUND effect on our culture and should be taken seriously.
