re: Just canceled my fantasy football season

So you went 0-3 and cut your losses, eh commish?

Send me some of your players. I'm hurting bad at QB and defense.

What do you think about the flag code stuff that's been coming out?

Driving so I'll be brief. Obviously it's not new to me. Most military brats are exposed to the flag code at an early age.

The best interpretation of the flag as apparrel is to remember that the flag code is a compendium of voluntary guidelines. Some folks break the code out of ignorance (i.e., flying non all-weather flags in inclement weather), or to display civic pride. And are well within their right to do so on account of the freedom represented by that very flag.

The issue for most is about context. We're all adults....most can figure out whether deviation from the code is done out of a desire to honor the flag or not. That's why most will have no problem with American flag apparel but balk at burning the flag. But neither is subject to governmental reprimand.

The kneeling isn't overtly malicious towards the flag, per se, but the optics and timing of it stick in the craw of many because it takes a common gesture of unity and brief time of focus on the positive, unifying ethos our flag represents and diverts the focus to divisive rhetoric of the hour. This country isn't perfect. No nation is. But if we start turning what few traditional galvanizing moments we have left into yet another forum for focusing on what we disagree upon, we're not doing ourselves any favors, IMO.

Sorry, guess I wasn't brief. It's raining in SA and traffic is crawling

And forfeit my $100? You're crazy.

I am the commissioner of the league and just canceled the league's season. Who else is with me?

I am guessing your league is not.

Should probably be terrified

Loop 1604 might as well be a parking lot this time of day on a good day. Add in the weather and....yeah

Home now, though.

2-1

My family took a vote. We're unanimous in canceling our little summer league we always draft on vacation and play during the season. My brother is in the army. We're writing a letter to ESPN explaining our position and saying we hope we can return next season under different circumstances in the NFL.

My pay league with my friends - I just turned off the notifications and wont check the app or fantasy site. A few others in the league have also decided to do the same.

We won't be part of this and hope our little protests are just a cog in the wheel of a much bigger issue for the networks that carry the sport and the owners themselves.
