I predicted this about a week after the whole fiasco began, because it is the xhickens#it way out.

Boycotts end. Don’t boycott. Find a new way to waste your time. Let them kneel in empty stadiums because people who can afford tickets are doing something that matters. If you can’t live without football, there is college and high school.

It would seem that the NFL could take this a step further and simply not play the anthem in the stadium as well.

It’s the same as putting a piece of duct tape over your check engine light.

ESPN siding with the National Felons League?
Sure seems like it.

If the rest of the networks would do the same, perhaps this will go away.

Not for me. In order to win me back as a fan the NFL will have to make a policy change that says players must stand respectfully for the national anthem.

Overpaid behemoth thugs who would otherwise be pimping out or in prison but now are copping attitude on TV.

Not going to waste my time on that. Hope NFL goes bankrupt and the players have to hock their gold chains.

No NFL Football for me. Hopefully the majority of their viewers follow suit.

I see this two ways a) we will never know who is/is not kneeling and b) it is going to deprive the kneelers of a national audience. Only those in attendance will (maybe) see them kneeling.

They started doing this last year, for this reason. Guess it’s just official now

And when you get home from the hockey game, go to hockeyfights.com for a nightcap.
