...how will you react?

I will take a knee against these asshats just like I did against the NFL. NBA (OK I did that 30 yrs ago) & MLB.

So just because someone takes a knee for 2-3 minutes before the game you'll boycott it and deprive yourself of any joy and entertainment you get from watching it for 3-4 hours? You sound petty and immature. I bet you have trouble finding things you enjoy.

Do you support your country or love a game more? If it happened at my university I would hammer ever office between the Pres Office to the AD. Due to my network I would go even above their heads if necessary.

You're going to waste all of that money because a few teenagers kneel?

Not likely to bode well financially for these institutions. This is Trump-land.

Considering the fact that these student athletes are receiving taxpayer funded scholarships, if they pull this stunt they will be in for a very rude awakening.

LMAO. Yea, that'll show em.
I mean after all, there's probably only a couple of hundred people that will gladly buy the tickets you give up.

I take no joy in watching a bunch of "hey look at me" pussies disrespect the country and the people that have volunteered to protect it.

Melt Snowflake melt.

I guess we should treat the anthem as the national trigger warning song from now on.

It'll happen for sure. In fact, it'll be a recruiting tool before long. Harbaugh already chimed in, expect more and from others. Here an example of how it might play out....

*sits in black families living room*
"We would be honored to have your (5*) son play football for us at (fill in your school here) and we will always defend him and his rights including in light of everything happening in football today."
*player commits*

Many of these kids come from rough upbringings. They know very well what this protest is about and if they have a chance to play for a coach who truly gets that? Bingo. You might not agree or like it but you're not a highly talented 17 year old with 50+ offers to play football anywhere he wants, they are.

I am as die hard as you will find MSU fan. I would absolutely quit watching that shite and spend my money elsewhere. I already did it with the Saints/NFL last year. I'm starting to think I won't catch much NBA this year

Won't be as much of an issue for the SEC. Boosters will stop sending their money and that stuff will be dealt with.

Today it's the NFL tomorrow we will wake up and it will be an pop warner team taking a knee. Those kids don't even know why. They just see their heros doing it and or their coach tells them to do it.

Missouri was one of the flash points in this current protest and the University is taking it in the pocketbook.

I understand that. Then just don't watch the national anthem. I don't see players disrespecting our country during the 3-4 hours of the game.
