Mike is right.....if you are not happy here, and think you are not treated right.....get out....see how happy you will be in a different country......especially you loud mouths, that are making millions.
Mike's a grown-up....and his words are simple truth. This is not complicated. Thank you, Mike.
Major league sports is finished in this spoiled teen tantrum mode. COVID has crushed much of their business and will continue to do so for a while. Only mindless teens would throw away what remains salvageable by alienating their fan support. Complete and utter fools. Financial ruin well deserved.
Many more millions know there is no disrespect in exposing police brutality and racial inequality...the kneeling will not stop until some constructive changes are made.

Kneeling has everything to do with disrespecting the flag or they wouldn't do it during the anthem. They know that is the time to pi$$ true American's off and gain the most attention..!
It is totally disrespecting the flag!
If they did not want to disrespect the flag, they would kneel BEFORE the National Anthem. Then, they could stand for the flag during the national Anthem.

I agree with Ditka. My Dad and 9 Uncles were vets of WWII. My brother, 7 first cousins, and I were vets during the Viet Nam conflict. The kneelers are tarnishing the memory of every veteran who gave his all for this country. They sacrificed so you could voice your opinion.
Many of the kneelers have relative's that have fought in the exact same wars...probably more so in Viet Nam since the rich had a way out with "bone spur" excuses that African Americans and the poor couldn't use. Just don't watch sports if you cannot handle some kneeling before the game.
Why? He played for the Bears and coached them to a super bowl.
That team won because Ryan ran the defense and Jim ran the offense. When Ryan left and Jim wa shurt the team was run by Ditka and instead of winning with all of that talent they never won again. Plus the players never respected him. They respected Ryan and Jim but not Ditka. Ditka was more interested in doing commercials and shows than in coaching a winner
Interesting story I read a while back. I think it was a punkrock subreddit. Anyways:
So this guy is sitting at a bar. The bartender didn't seem very talkative. So the guy just sat there minding his own business. Later this guy comes in with jacket. The seemed cool and asked or a drink. The bartender picks up a bat from under the counter and tells the man to get the [bleep] out. The guy just insists that he wants a drink and doesn't want any trouble. The bartender again says "No, GET OUT!". The guy leaves. The guy who witnessed it asked the bartender what was wrong with the guy. Why he got kicked out.
The bartender replied:
"You probably didn't notice, but his jacket had an iron cross and he had nazi tattoos on his neck. These guys try to come in being polite and well behaved. You let your guard down, they'll bring a friend, then another friend. Next thing you know you have a bar full of nazis and they're no longer polite, your bar just became a nazi hangout".
You can count the number of "nazis" in the US if you can find them because they are as rare as hen's teeth. Pants on the ground gang bangers? Every big city has hundreds of thousands of them.
