Why so much outrage about this? Remind me again why people get so outraged about these things?
I mean, I love the flag and have a ginormous one in my business. I mean it's probably bigger than Trumps wall. Seriously. I love it that much.
But I still agree that it's okay to protest by taking a knee. I'm a Vet. I served so that they can have that right.
Do you agree it is okay for people to boycott the NFL?
Freedom is a two-way street is all I am saying.
Yeah, I'm okay with that. I just think it's a bad reason or a very minor reason to stop watching a sports league, especially if you like the sport. I like watching NFL football on a Sunday. It's just part of a good lazy end to the weekend. I enjoy following my team. It's a fun thing to do and bond with friends and family. The NFL if anything has always been a very patriotic league. I understand why Kap and some of the other guys are protesting and again, I served so that they could protest. It's an American right. I don't take offense to it.

It's their business. They can decide if they want to enforce their own policies or not. People can decide if they want to consume the nfl product or not. The players can decide whether they want to stand or not, and teams can decide if they want to not renew working contracts with the players or not.
Its not #ing difficult. Why does anyone even care about the nfl, it's a bunch of egotistical wealthy players, and some super wealthy owners. If you don't like it stop consuming it. If you love it, go get more.

Freedom is more important than the delicate feelings of precious snowflakes.
Why is it every time that line is used, everything that follows is utter hogwash?

Read the entire NFL rule book for 2017 yesterday. Nowhere in it does the National Anthem get mentioned for any reason.
