Evidence of systemic hatred of American principles.

We should let them kneel but do it as a moment of silence prior to the national anthem. Then everyone should stand together with than hand over there heart and think how lucky they are to have the freedoms they have today. Many of americans have lost their lives protecting this country, and they deserve the respect of every man and woman in this country.


That would be awesome if that would happen, but as others have already stated, it's all political now.

You can't beat around the bush, the flag is a representation of our military and if you kneel then you are not showing support since they did carry the flag in past wars. And now the police are targets, the military is next on the list. What a shame.

They have been in kneeling for years. How many times are you going to quit watching?



I have not watched a Pro game in about three years.

Prior to that I've watched almost every game of my teams, for fifty years, if it was on TV. In fact when I didn't have cable, I've driven to a cheap motel paid for a room watched the game, and checked out.
My wife said I was addicted. I'm clean now, thanks to Kap and his ilk.
when I was in the Navy, 60s, I subscribed to The Advocate, in order to keep up with LSU. When I came off Submarine Patrol there would be over 60 newspapers
waiting in my barracks room. I was a fan! Still am. Time will tell if I remain one.

Play the Anthem before the players come on to the field like they used to. Problem solved, and attention whores neutralized.

If we quit watching it and buying the merchandise it will die not a quick death but it will die!

This is a cheap trick in trying to say we’re not racially sensitive enough. Don’t let an idiot jock fool you.

Can someone libsplain this to me? If I say “all lives matter” or “Monday” or “urban”, people castigate me for hate speech without regard for the intentions behind their use.

Yet the same people get to tell me that I can’t get offended by flag kneeling.

So they get to assign meaning to their words AND mine!

Will never spend one cent on the NFL again. frick this gay earth.

Haven't been listening to what? Please do tell. What's the issue? Bring me some stats JJ or Brees. Show me where systemic racism is. Just one example please, anything backed by statistics.

I'm sure the only systemic racism you will find is directed towards white people and Asians, so kindly suck a dick JJ and frick off.

It's cultural,not race. We can't fix that.

I wonder what y'all are going to do when LSU players start kneeling. Going to give up watching LSU sports?

Seems like a simple option. I will most definitely refrain from all things AU if this carries over. I just want to see where the systemic racism is and examples of it.

Good for you! I hope the rest of those who feel like you do have the courage to do the same. Going to be really interesting to see what the baws do with no sports to fall back on.
