I'm watching....even if they protest ( no problem here -- first amendment protections ) and even if they lose. Who Dat!

If they were protesting "black lives matter" would you still be fine with it? Would you support their rights? You don't even support America's right to protect itself against terrorism, because it's somehow too invasive.

Funny how people only care about the constitution when it suits them.

I will always watch my saints. But I no long have those all day long channel surfing Sundays. Neither does my good Sunday football gathering. 20 people now watch their team and that is it. I think that is fair.

They have the right and we have the right, It ends there for us. No hate involved it is just a disagreement.

Everyone has the right to say what they want. end of story

On the bright side we are not going to get that winter weight gain as bad lol

Hagan, as has been stated many times by myself and others, it's one thing to disagree; but it's another thing to protest out of ignorance.

I've had lot's of disagreements in my life. I've disliked things players have said or done, but it was never a team wide cancer where I couldn't look at them the same way. This is bigotry by the very people who accuse others of the same offense. And if that kind of disrespect is going to be thrown in my face, when this is supposed to be the thing that takes me away from life's issues for a few Sundays out of the year, then they won't get my support.

If this is all no big deal to you, my friend, then that is your business. But it is not an opinion held by the majority, and there is a good reason for that. These guys literally make their money off the fans. If you take away the fans these guys are nothing. At least until such time as they find something else to do with their lives, because sports are utterly meaningless, in the grand scheme of things. Society doesn't survive on sports.

With that in mind, these guys would do well to listen to their audience. The fact that they have gotten so full of themselves that many of them no longer care about the fans at all, tells me it's time for them to be knocked down several pegs. If we keep telling them "do whatever you want, just don't leave us" we are making hostages of ourselves, for no reason.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

In America you can say what want.

You also can do pretty much what you want as long as people do not get hurt

To turn a patriotic view on this topic into a statement against what they are saying is only makes their argument weak. that brings us to a different issue all together.

Makes one wonder what the true statement some people are making.

What is more patriotic, trying to make this country better -even more like it says it is on some very sacred papers or maintaining the status quo?

Fanatic:
a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme "SPORTS", religious or political cause.

I took the liberty of adding sports

Good point...

I wish I were oppressed with their salaries. Imagine how tough it must be.

Meanwhile, a veteran with no legs is having a tough time reaching the light switch in his own home.
