The people who run the nfl are so naive. The whole notion of a “black national anthem” in and of itself is racist. Why would a people group in America need a separate anthem? The purpose of a “national anthem” is to unite a country within a unifying set of ideals, not to divide them into different sects of color and classes.

That's an excellent way to put it. I've been trying to figure out how to explain the feeling myself and I think that that really perfectly encapsulates it. It's like someone that's been a part of your life has gone off in a different direction that is completely in opposition to your own values.

I saw every playoff game between 1978 and the Rams being given the game a few years ago. The 70s and 80s were great. They ruined it with fixing games and shiiity politics.
I survive without it just fine.

It is about cultural creep and schism fomented by the Left based upon lies. It is about support for groups who shout down their opposition and scream for them to be punished. It is greater than the playing of some song. It is about the support for a terrorist organization like blm while at the same time disparaging a country that has provided the greatest opportunity to the greatest number of people. If you think it is just about a song then you are myopic and should stick with your circuses

Maybe the NFL needs to have problems getting people to buy tickets and buy merchandise.

Call it what you want, but if you continue to give time and money to a group that hates you and is actively working to oppress your family because they are white, then you are more than a bit retarded.

Haven't watched a game in a few years now and don't really miss it. Even more reason to never return.

So will the black players stand for the black one? And what if the white players kneel during the black one. Crazy shite, huh?

I hate this. It was pretty easy to not watch last year. It’ll be easy to not watch again this year. The part that sucks is, I grew up with sports being a big part of my life. Both playing in my youth and being a huge fan of college and nfl football. Always saw myself sharing the same types of moments with my kids that I shared with my dad going to games, watching on tv together, etc. This bullshite social justice stuff is taking that away from so many of us. I can do without the NFL. But this will absolutely trickle down into college football and ultimately LSU football. I can’t knowingly bring my boys into a stadium and purposely subject them to this bullshite. I hope this all goes away soon, but I don’t see it happening. We are too far gone and not enough people will speak with their wallets.

F*** the NFL and blm. My time will be better spent grilling, or hiking or if it is raining watching movies.

I haven’t watched an nfl game in years so there’s no way I can watch less.

I am entirely done with any professional, college or Olympic sports.

We live in a country that pays oversized half-wits to throw a ball around and make millions and they crap on it and demand separatist anthems. Screw them, screw their corporate overlords and screw their stupid game.

Take a look around, geniuses. The kids coming up today are more interested in hunting virtual pokemons on their phone. I look forward to your collective trip back to reality.
