They sure do. Fans have every right to stop supporting the teams that force this shite on them during a game. If black players are determined to ruin college football and the opportunities it affords them to better their lives then they are the big losers in this insanity. College football will die along with the NFL. Those who are really pushing this issue behind the scenes are happy as hell that ignorant athletes can be led to their own slaughter while trying to divide this nation.

Why couldn't they wait till after the Saban era to do this crap?

Oh well, I guess that will make it more of a statement when I have to stop watching.

I would hope they would, but you can see LSU is heading to the out woke Olympics.

Do you think that's generally reflective of the population in the football stands?

I can't wait for PAWL and his all white baseball team to kneel before a game next season.

Do you really think the fans are going to sit there and watch these kids “express” themselves during the national anthem? These stadiums will eventually be empty. Donations and fan support will go bye bye.
I’ve drawn a line in the sand...if LSU or the SEC allows any political bs to take place, I’m done. EVERY season ticket holder I’ve spoken to has said the same.

They are old enough to fight and die in wars and if kneeling is their form of first amendment expression, they have every right to do it.




Sure they do when they start taking care of themselves!

At this point they are living off the University and more than likely their parents. Not that my kids ever would kneel, but as long as I am supporting them and paying for their education, there is certain level of behavior I expect from them.

If the university tells them not to knell, they have every right to tell them that and if the player decides to kneel anyway, let them pull their scholarship.

Football is still huge but I think it has reached it’s zenith. Fewer kids want to play it. Concern over injuries and brain damage. In college, it seems to be trending to a more regional footprint as the southeast schools dominate. The west coast is not a factor anymore and fan support has and will diminish.

Add in a huge dose of unwanted wokeness, and more fans will lose interest. It’s not good for the health of the game.

Wh is the national anthem played to begin with?


To display our love for and allegiance to our flag and country. It's called patriotism, and if you don't love America you should leave for a better place.

Why is it there to begin with? Ditto all the military stuff. I don't go to sports events so I can participate in displays of patriotism - I go to watch sports. It's always struck me as a non-sequitur.

It's a recruiting tactic. It's gonna backfire bigly.

It bothers me if it has to be blown up into this massive argument that ruins the game, yes. I always enjoy hearing the band play the anthem. The military stuff, though, has always struck me as creepy and I would be glad to see it gone.

This knocks out the argument that only pro players would be seen kneeling..

This will catch on and be common practice. Im about done with Sports.



it's all about political posturing....they don't want to deal with the wrath from the left

so they will bend the knee and nothing will change

nothing

the left will come back for more...next time more angry...

never let an angry ignorant fool tell you want to do
