Does it seem like they are showing the national anthem more on tv for NFL games?

Just seems ever since the kneeing the national anthem is always televised regardless of the game. I never remembered it being televised often with the exception of really big games.

Seems they are doing it just to focus on the kneelers (Saints vs 49ers game yesterday they focused 80% on Kaepernick) and keep people riled up.

I think it was always on but now you're just paying attention to it. They did have a camera on Brandon Marshall like the entire time yesterday since he decided to stand now.

USAA pays ESPN to be "patriotic" and show the National Anthem.

all he wanted to do was start a conversation.

but how many conversations on the subject have changed anything?

this is one of the bigger troll jobs I've ever seen.

its kept him and the 49ers in the headlines more than it would have if he had just gone through the motions like before.

bullshite. All he was doing was trying to make excuses for the fact he was about to get cut. Had he not done that the 9ers probably cut him.

I don't disagree.

he's had a hidden agenda the whole time IMO. What it is I don't know.

but he shouldn't act like he's oppressed or that he can make a difference.

he opened a can of worms on the league too with this bullshite. The NFL shouldn't have anything to do with this social issue.

for that, I fault him.

Didn't the national anthem at sports events originally start when the government started paying sports teams to play it? There's really no natural connection between a football game and the national anthem. If it weren't for watching sports we'd probably not even know the words.

It's important to note that Kaepernick's gf is a well known BLM activist. He's just trying to get some attention, and some leg

Probably idk. They are all terrorists in my eyes. The whole movement is counterproductive and it's just for a few people at the top to profit.
