re: Y'all know this football season will be an absolute shitshow for those not "down," right?

Have to remember that these events are purposeful distractions (benefiting the state)

Bread and circuses (gladiator games, always been around)

It does not mean that it can’t be enjoyed, it needs to be kept in proper perspective. The minute we worship it, it becomes problematic (mammon/money follows the same rules)

I can’t understand why we can’t emphasize a moment of silence for personal intentions prior to the anthem. Hell, they have taken prayer out of process already. Why not carve out a moment of silence where intentions are read off including for “black lives”. Everyone can take a knee if they desire (while personal intentions are directed wherever the individual wants it to be). If TPA had a son playing, I would advise him to use the time for reflection /prayers (including directing this to teammates of color)

Perception/intentions can overcome any situation (and it is truly the only thing YOU can control).

That said, keep faith (much will play out/be revealed)

Ironically, covid-19 may fix this problem. LOL

Any conservative who watches the NFL, attends games or buys memorabilia is part of the problem and should be ashamed. Don’t come on here complaining about the knee crap when you’re supporting the League.

I've grown tired of college sports. It's just one school's hired guns playing another's. These aren't real students playing each other. What is the point?

Kind of how I feel. Football is basically 5-6 superteams.

I will say that I saw a good sign in the comments section of a Yahoo article about how social justice is coming to college sports. Nearly every post was a person saying, keep this out of sports. I'm sure we'll all eat up college football and NFL when the time comes, but I think they will lose some support if it's nonstop politics.

I agree with a lot of the concern players are voicing and I support their freedom to voice them.

I hate everything about the commercialization and politicization of these movements by colleges and professional leagues and the nonstop pandering to social media extremism by the aforementioned and in addition and most extremely by the media that covers them.

I have basically abandoned all sports except Florida Gators college football, and even then, basically only the product on the field.

I don't need tax-exempt monopolies and their corporate Johns telling me what and when to think.

College players are not on the field for the National anthem

They will figure out a way to protest. Have you not seen the list of demands Texas football players made? Or LSU football’s wokeness on their social media recently?

Come on man. It's hunting season. I will be hunting deer, ducks, etc. And no, I don't like that duck meat.
