NCAA fan here. The unpaid boys are all heart. They play the way the NFL *used* to.
When you commit a turnover in college, your teammates all come over and encourage you, give you a pep talk, etc., but when you do it in the NFL, you're on an island, all alone, because they know, and you know, you are not supposed to do that.
I prefer the NFL.
And as a 6 year Army vet, I didn't serve so that patriotism was made mandatory in this country, I served so that we had freedom to choose, and I respect those who take an unpopular stand for the right reasons. I like the NFL more than I ever did (the players, not the owners, who are still a group of douchebag billionaires, with a few exceptions).
I'm a fan now! I tuned out about a decade ago, but DAMN! Standing up for moral convictions is a hell of a lot better than the thuggery from a decade ago!
Love college and the NFL. Can't wait for it to all start again. I am a life long disheartened Chargers fan that married into a Bronco family. Football gatherings are a way of life in the Fall.
My BIL is a vet and he has no problem with the kneeling.
Yep, I was bummed when the Rams shipped back to LA. Still a fan, though.
St Louis resident?

It is a choice YOU make with neither a correct nor incorrect answer.
I chose to leave. Many of the owners in the NFL are sub human turds. I will not support them. They are not the only turds we have who reap far far more than they sow. shrug.
I'm a veteran as well(not that it matters) and I'd like the players to keep their politics out of the game. I watch sports as an escape from stuff like that. Since they started protesting I've limited my NFL watching to my home team only, while before I would watch more games. I will keep up with this pattern until they stop protesting.
So you still watch YOUR team but not OTHER teams?
Wow, what a protest.
