These jackasses need to realize that their efforts are an insult to most of those who put on the uniform.

You want to protest Trump, Obama or any other politician or cause then feel free but the national anthem and the flag are not the vehicle to do so.

Spoiled millionaires out of touch with mainstream America as Americans pony up the dough for their pay checks.

Men and women died, were maimed, or gave up time with their families to provide a safe place for you to be filthy rich and you spit in their face by disrespecting this nation.

Sure this country is not perfect, but its as close as it gets on earth.

NFL will suffer as a whole for allowing this to continue and expand in scope... you should all be cut and allowed to find a job here in the real world with the rest of us. I can guarantee that players are available to take each and every one of your places...


PS - to the Saints players participating, I hope all 10 of you are cut

Re: The NFL Is a Product I Refuse to Purchase Any Longer

I no longer watch the games. Only highlights and track my fantasy scores. I have been doing this for several years. I do attend a couple of games but likely won't be doing that anymore. The sport is dying. It's dying ever year slowly but surely. It has nothing to do with "hip hop", kneeling, or the N word. People just don't care anymore. The brain damage is real. Parents don't want the sport. It's going to die.

Re: The NFL Is a Product I Refuse to Purchase Any Longer

For those of you wondering how this will all end.

I foresee this continuing on for a week or two, with TV viewership (and more importantly, related NFL sales) continuing to decline. This will drive the media as a stand-off of sorts beings to form: pissed-off fans versus the league. Owners' hands will be tied as will have no choice but to stand with the players who wear the uniforms.

Eventually, when things get bad enough, I see the man who started this whole thing stepping in and calling an end to the protests. Kaepernick will come out with some BS about how this whole thing created a dialog which is what his original goal was. He'll be hailed as a hero and uniter by the league and the media and we'll all be expected to be participants in the healing.

That's just my prediction.

Seeing as the league's response to this whole mess was closely coordinated across all teams, I wouldn't be surprised if there is already an agreement in place for all players to begin standing starting next week. I think they understand the blow back from this won't be good for who they see as their slave masters. If an agreement already isn't in place, I think one will quickly be formed after a week or two.

You can make a certain and safe bet that the marketing department of the NFL is pulling all-nighters that much is for sure.

Your prediction is a likely as any - the NFL will not approach this in any other way outside their bottom line end game. That's why the whole thing is so silly.

Re: The NFL Is a Product I Refuse to Purchase Any Longer

NFL is in a no win situation. On one hand, the anthem, flag, tribute to Veterans, police and first responders are a big part of the "NFL" experience. On the other, ant-anthem, flag haters, Veteran haters and police haters are an increasingly bigger percentage of their employees and the media in general. Staying in the locker room is likely the best solution right now for all teams. It eliminates the visual of the problem and silences the kneelers. Out of sight out of mind. Back to business.

Or maybe even just get rid of the song altogether?

I just read that Jesse Jackson has joined the list of people pushing for a boycott. You know what that means.
