You are just an idiot looking for a fight. Sorry, none here from me. You are a waste time. I knew you were going to try to clapback. I answered your question. I throughly explained myself. You throw insults. Fine, throwing them back at you.
Exhausting .

Re: NFL players to kneel for anthem as a group

Nothing will change. Go ahead and kneel. Viewership will fall off a cliff just like last time. Sponsorship will decline. Anything associated with the NFL will decline in value.

Please do it. Let's finally settle it once and for all. Want to trash black and white serving this country, trying to instill justice, fairness. Go right ahead. You will lose underestimating Pride in the flag. It ain't perfect, but it is America. Take it or leave it.

If this happens the NFL is dead to me and I will never watch it again. Nor will I buy anything NFL related.

Just try being more honest and less of a hypocrite. Yeah I'm looking for a fight by calling it the way I see it. Youre just mad because you try justifying your stance with utter nonsense

well that's just it. Go protest at your local legislative office e, police precinct (which the jags did and i thought was awesome) but using your on the field time to virtue signal is pathetic. Drew brees on the utterly pathetic apology tour and his moron of a wife. And qhy? Scared to death to be protested at his HOF induction and/or lose his after football anoouncer job. God, how pathetic. And it is pathetic because he is saying **** he doesn't actually believe to apoease others.

I agree with this. We are 4 years after the time when Brees could voice his opinion and there'd be no backlash. Now he has to lie to appease the "teammates" that called him out via social media. I hate that he felt the need to apologize for his opinions.

And why are we hearing from his wife at all? Especially since we've never really heard from her before.

--Side note--
I just got back from the store. A guy saw my Saints shirt and asked how I thought the Saints would do this year. I told him that I don't really care anymore.

That sucks.

My money is that this will be the most watched NFL season ever and any amount of kneeling, or any other protest, isn't going to affect that. It was a minority that let past protests affect their choice of tuning into the NFL. A very small percentage. The fact is that the vast majority of NFL fans around the world has more interest in the game itself than any theatrics prior to the kickoff.

Yes. That sucks for you. Although, the blame doesn't belong on anyone else. It is solely your decision to let something like that affect your thoughts about a simple form of entertainment. Honestly the vast majority of NFL fans don't care at all. They just want to watch the games.

It does auck, I've been a fan since 1986. And the injection of politics is going to prove to be their undoing. The height of the NFL is gone and its not going to get better. Why do you think Roger is looking for new fans overseas?

What some people don't understand is to support players that make certain comments or statements is to hold your nose and pretend you don't smell the stink. You have to betray yourself and root for people who are wealthy (because of their talent and hardwork ) because of where they live. It is nauseating. If it doesn't bother someone they'll watch and never miss a beat. I can't stomach it. Drew has been my favorite player and I've admired him for his drive and who he was on and off the field. But now I can't even look at him.

You're correct that simple form of entertainment does affect me and you'd be lying if you said that it doesn't affect you.

You're incorrect in stating that the majority of fans don't care. Every NFL fan I talk to has something to say about the current state of the NFL. Most agree that the players are becoming insufferable brats.
