President Donald Trump is getting exactly what he wanted: ...A morale boost for his base and a fight with those who see the refusal to stand for the National Anthem as an appropriate form of dissent.

OK, I believe in 'free speech and the right to protest 'even if it's offensive' to people. So, Jonathan Allen how would YOU react if some white players stood up during the National Anthem and screamed 'Stupid Niggers' for the duration of the song?

Would your much vaunted tolerance of 'protest' be challenged? Would YOU want the NFL to fire the offenders? Or would you sit quietly by while the 'protest' moved to every other team in the NFL?

Come on Jonathan Allen tell the truth... would you mock those who don't see it as an "appropriate form of dissent??

It would take a dictator to accomplish that, but I share your sentiment.

Made the official decision yesterday - no NFL game will appear on my TV this season - including playoffs/Super Bowl.

This seems a fitting place to say, “Ta-ta”.
