Baseball legend Hank Aaron said he won't watch any NFL games this season because of how the league treated former quarterback Colin Kaepernick after Kaepernick's national anthem protest last season drew widespread scrutiny.

I'm ashamed to have Aaron's autograph.
Am wondering how MLB will treat President Trump for World Series Game 1....
What a coincidence! Tens of millions of Americans won’t watch NFL football this season because of how Kaepernick treats his country. And also because the games are going gay this year.
That is truly a “win win” proposition. I will support Hammering Hank’s boycott and I will watch college football instead.
What a coincidence.
I won’t watch NFL because of how the other anti-American anthem jerks are NOT being treated.
I won’t watch because of the insults to our nation that are ongoing each week.
If all AAron watches is MSM or CNN ..he has the wrong info and could be the reason he is mis informed. besides, how old is he?
Classic example of why business should stay out of politics.
Sad.
I don’t even think that Trump will be allowed near Game 1 of the 2017 World Series, especially if it is in Los Angeles, home of the Dodgers.
I never realized Hank Aaron was black. I’ve often heard the name, but today was the first time I actually looked up his picture.
Hey Hank!
How about how our nation is being treated and our flag disrespected?
I guess you really are a commie.
Old Hammerin’ Henry is 83. I remember watching him play in the ‘50’s as a young boy at Connie Mack Stadium in North Philly. Back then the Braves were in Milwaukee and white people could still go to the ballpark in safety. I liked Willie Mays a lot better.
It appears no matter what side your on Kaepernick has divided the country.
Good job Roger Goodell!.....(sarcasm off)
The black people I know, who happen to NOT be African-American, watch and believe CNN, the black person channel and other mainstream media. They are brainwashed. I could not convince them otherwise. These are strong Christian people, who I think should know better.
Oh Mon Dieu... I don’t know how I can continue living just knowing Aaron won’t be watching NFL anymore..
Exactly.
With American’s turning off the NFL, and the other side turning off the NFL, we should be able to mash them like a bug.
Let's not express too much happiness. I'm already afraid Aaron won't follow-through on his promise.
BET is a racist gutter. I watched a little and was appalled.
Bingo!!
Did I miss the part where Kaepernick was a good quarterback? His last season was 2 wins and 14 losses.
Well Hank Aaron thanks for your baseball skills, grins and good times past. .... to bad your thoughts are shit when it comes to patriotism and the respect for our nations symbols and traditions.
Idiotic to use the actions of a few, whom you don’t agree with personally or politically, to dishonor everything else held near and dear by the majority of those who paid so you can play.
Hope yer legs grow together ......
