Trump fans, you’ve lost this battle. Everyone knows the kneeling is a sign of respect, and our service members recognize the protest for what it is.

No group of people are more loyal Americans than Pittsburgh people, and if we are not bothered by these folks expressing their rights, why should anyone else ? Doesn't bother me in the least.

I will never understand the passionate connection between the NFL and the military, not to mention the public’s willingness to underwrite the relationship with our tax dollars.

Me too. I am the ultimate nerd. I read dry history and physics tomes while my wife screams at the TV about all the bad calls the refs are supposedly making.

Football is a major part of American culture. Attempted boycotts are foolish. I disapprove of the protests, but the answer is to inject that disapproval into the game rather than turning away from it.

Im gonna be as complacent as Trump was when it came to the WW1 memorial. Such a great example. Love how he criticizes folks for kneeling but he can't attend a memorial for one of the biggest wars in world history honor the human sacrifice which included our troops.
