So much for freedom of expression and, well, freedom period.

I'm so confused.
Right? Last I heard everyone was boycotting facebook, now they are making groups on facebook to boycott the NFL.

All I can tell you is that I’m a progressive and I haven’t watched TV in decades. I was about 11 when I started getting bored with TV and started going into my room to read during the after-dinner family TV fest. Books are better. Always have been.

I’m mostly amused by the idea some folks have that they are making a significant statement by trumpeting which TV shows they prefer. Or don’t prefer. Hint - they’re not.

Until The league and advertisers feel the pain, they will continue to let this practice slide and not televise the Anthem.

I support this 100%
They are feeling it now. TV ratings are way way down, and they are playing to 1/2 empty or more stadiums across the USA. It's fascinating to watch the NFL destroy it's brand.

Good for you. I have several hobbies that I can either do, or read books I have always wanted to read. The library is an amazing place, and always astounds me at the number of books that interest me. I know others that are turning away from the tv, and going out and doing stuff, or reading, etc.

No, I read Trump's tweet regarding the NFL, your post is strikingly similar.

I repeat, parroting Trump again, are we?

I haven't read his tweet.

But thanks for reminding me that we voted in the right President. Much better than Bill Clinton's estranged drunken wife. Don't you agree? After all, you are watching his every word and it reflects reality.
