People on MSB are saying that kneeling for anthem isn't a big deal anymore

I'm sorry, but this is a big deal to me, and I'm no social conservative. This is appalling and makes me far less likely to want to attend NFL games. I already feel this way about the NBA after they went to hard core SJW during election season and several teams boycotted certain hotels, coaches spoke out in unprecedented fashion about the Presidential election, etc.

If this spreads as it appears to be doing, will this affect your likelihood of attending NFL games?

That's a weird bunch over there.


BTW, kneeling for the Anthem will ALWAYS be a big deal when men died giving you that freedom.

An American expressing their right to free speech during a massive corporate event (what NFL is)?

Am I supposed to be upset?

It was never a big deal at all.

The last NFL game I attended I decided to never go to another one, this was before the whole kneeling thing, it has more to do with the trashy people there. Just a bunch of drunk fat people who spend their monthly pay check for a couple of tickets and some expensive beer.

Shitting on a country that has allowed them opportunities many in this world wouldn't dare imagine.
I think it's disgustingly disrespectful and Yes i realize they have that right. But I have the right to say, frick all of them

MSM has been pushing this from the start because they are leftist scum as well.

Somebody should roll out there with a Gadsden Flag as a cape and see how they like that.

It wasn't a big deal in the first place. Your fake outrage has helped keep it relevant.

They're a bunch of dim bulbs copying what they think is cool currently. They've put no real thought behind any of it. Just being emotional over propagandists' lies.

Do you get just as upset when fat johnny and his fat wife rather text on their phone and get wedged into their seats or old baw who is buying beer during the anthem?

Where does your outrage begin and end?

Don't scratch your head, they are stupid and eager to fall in with the moment.

Yep, and I wonder how much they give to charity or back to the hood? Probably not much, if any at all.

Yeah it's as much about THIS as it is about disrespecting the flag. These assholes (assuming they make the team) make a minimum of $500,000 per year. Some of the chief instigators like Kaepernick and Malcolm Jenkins have cleared over $30MM in their careers after taxes. They are not oppressed. If they feel like society is unfair, there are 1,000,000 better ways to address this than pissing off 67% of paying fans with immature virtue signaling.

Isn't it amazing that that NFL player is making a much kneeling during the anthem as the people criticizing them make in a month or a few months.

Poor people are such snowflakes.

This is not where they make their money. Quit watching altogether.

It's about the disorder as much as the flag. About the idiocy of them picking the one sacred moment of an NFL game to pull this stunt.

What they COULD do is double their community activism. They could visit black schools twice as often.
