    Right. So pissing off your fans, which doesn't include the political non-pro fan FoxHastings , doesn't sound so smart anymore, does it... They live by us, they can be unemployed by us. Most of them never finished college, so life after football (unless they saved their money) looks grim.

    You're not a fan, how do you know what fans will and won't do?

    Who give a ****, the TV Contracts are already paid, the Season Tickets are already Sold, the players contracts are already signed.

    So go to the Box Office or on-line and buy a NFL Ticket ... you tell me if it's less that last year.

    Dude, I don't give a f*ck about your birther whining, get the hell out of here with that bullshit. This is about the NFL. I don't even know why the mods let a troll like you hang around.

    I respect your opinion but to me and probably most, the National Anthem has always stood for those who fought and continue to fight, for America's freedoms. You disrespect that and it's a slap in the face of the millions and millions who have fought and died, for you to have the freedom. Here's the thing with this, the one's who are doing this know without a doubt they are disrespecting and defying our countries anthem to make a point about something totally different. If you want to do it fine but you better be prepared for the backlash which, may include you losing your job. If it's easy is it really a protest? The perversion of disrespecting this country's freedom is appalling to those who have served. Go to N korea and come back and tell us what freedom is and isn't.

    You could hear boo's everywhere. They could stop playing the anthem, that's on them, but the fans are the ones who come to see a traditional game of football, not overpaid and spoiled players making political statements.

    Nearly 3/4ths of all NFL players are Black.

    Take note also that 83% of the NFL's fan base is WHITE. Link: https://football.realgm.com/wiretap...cent-Of-NFL-Players-Fan-Base-83-Percent-White .

    For the 2017 - 2018 season, I'm DONE with the NFL.... To hell with it and the 'BLM' morons, and their sympathizers, who have ruined the game for me this season....

    Bring on HOCKEY season, which starts at the beginning of October! It's a much more interesting, demanding sport anyway.... :cheerleader:

    It's the National Anthem. It has nothing to do with the treatment of poor blacks in judicial matters. They only use that to get the dummards to fall in line with them. You have to remember that most pro athletes didn't finish college, and were only there because they excelled in a sport. They're not all exactly the smartest.

    Because no amount of censoring will make people like you happy. This isn't the 1960s, Black People don't and won't follow your orders ... anymore or ever again. Deal with it ... or not, no one gives a ****.

    I was at the Bears Game yesterday, I was taking a well deserved Piss during the National Anthem, and there where plenty of other people shacking their Dicks at the same time.

    Screw your Allegiances and your Pledges; I took the Bears and the Points :roflol:

    Trump, stand up, take your hand, and smack yourself in the face with it. The NFL comments and rescinding your WH visit to GSW is really going to hurt. All this crap was going away until you had to throw gasoline on a dying fire!

    DAMN dude.

    At my job I was sent into the most hazardous of situations in the worst possible weather with a helicopter hovering feet above my head lifting logs into the sky and I didn't make millions of dollars doing it. I did what I was told to keep my job and so should these football players.

    It wasn't going away and Trump expressed to a crowd of supporters how many of us feel.

    It was going away. Cut the ****. No one was signing Kaep. No one could afford to give into the protests as a whole. Now, teams are FORCED to because the President said that crap. Sure many are feeling that way (I personally wasn't, as I was over the whole "protest" because it didn't mean anything). But now the NFL has to stick up for itself.

    It's traditional to play at sports. All countries sing their National Anthems at sports games. It's normal.

    Okay. So that's why they do it? They paint a target onto themselves... because they didn't finished college?

    That's not enough gas to power my vehicle for a single mile, Thirty.

    Keap hasn't said jack-**** on over a year and this Ass-Hole President goes to his Alabama Racist Base to stoke crap because some Little Kid in North Korea is Bitch Slapping his ass.

    If Donald Trump had any Hair on his Nuts he'd have a Pep-Rally in Chicago.

    It's always your choice to comply to job requirements or to get a different job. If football players can't keep politics off the field then go get a job flipping burgers which is the other job they are qualified for.
