Every American has the right to their own beliefs but to disrespect the very source that gives them that right is just plain downright stupid.

My group stopped attending NFL and/or watching NFL games after Kaepernick took a knee and nothing was done about it. Most of us are vets and to see a bunch of morons who never served their country disrespect America is pathetic. With the latest bull**** we are turning to the sponsors and informing them that we are no longer going to buy their products. (No need to watch the games. It is easy to get a list of those sponsors on the web). We encourage all Americans to do the same.
Quit buying beer and Ford trucks?

That'll be the day.

Don't stand for the national anthem? Have fun looking like an utter moron to everybody

So it makes perfect sense to you then that players would stand for "God Save the Queen" but kneel for the Anthem?

The NFL is about 70% black. They make big bucks. If they were truly concerned about how blacks are treated by the police why is it they don't pool their money and fight it legally? I guess it is just easier for them to have someone else do it for them.

NFL - NUFFLE ‘EM
Before you boycott the NFL, take time to note who the ADVERTISERS are, and send THEM a note that you will no longer buy nor recommend their products / services as long as they support the NFL's insult to patriotism. Cut off the advertisers, and the NFL will wither and die... or do a 180 degree turn.

SAMPLE:
To Whom It May Concern:
Due to your sponsorship of unpatriotic players in the NFL, who denigrate the national anthem - a tribute to patriotism which is NOT related to politics - I will not buy nor recommend your products / services.

I don't know how you can compare what the NFL players are doing, as aligning themselves with Kim Jong-un. these are totally different situations, like apples and oranges. Talk about stretching things.

Kaepernick's protest was ostensibly about policing, then he showed up in a Fidel castro t-shirt and started whining about oppression, and later admitted he didn't even vote.

Now what are they protesting? Trump? And the way to do it is to disrespect the national anthem like babies?

There's going to be a lot more red in 2020 when Trump is elected again. The idiotic media (including the sports media) practically insures it.

And the Trump deranged will be crying again and hiding from the elections forum, must like they did this past year.

America made these jockhead steroid head Moron millionaires rich.. They need to stand for the flag. Bunch of prima donna liberals. Go to Bangladesh and see if you can enjoy such a lavish lifestyle to throw a football or put a ball in a hoop. IF most of these morons had no athletic ability, 90 percent of them would probably sitting in jail IDIOTS!!!


The NFL needs to go anyways. Pretty much every player in that league has brain damage. How are they allowed to stay in business?

The NBA?? Far removed from the glory days of the 80s and 90s. The League has sunken to the depths of hell with these pathetic superstar team stacking because these "superstars" are such losers they can't win without a dream team
