The NFL and the players can do whatever the hell they want, they wont be doing it on my dime. What of part of that do you not understand?

The hypocrisy from the left on this issue is amazing because it's very common tactic they use and if it was them they would also be boycotting the advertisers, the networks etc, etc.

team loyalty? You realize that's a 2 way street. Teams aren't loyal unless you are balling out.

you mean you watched criminal players all these years?

wow, the hypocrisy

If a football player committed a crime of violence, I also don't think he should be allowed to play.
haha.. calling folks snowflakes while yapping about how you won't watch them over a kneel down.

Who's the snowflake again?

The national anthem is something very sacred to most Americans. Not standing for the national anthem, especially if you're in a high profile position, makes you look like a traitor to your nation.

People are right to question your loyalties and motives.

Not upset at all, just tired of inaccuracies from both sides.

I never had to worry about race until the first time I was called the "N" word, at the age of 11.

I couldn't care less for any liberal outrage no matter what is said.

It's just a damn word. When did this country turn into such a basket of little crybabies?
