But players were told that they were to wear spikes commemorating 911 that they would be fined by the NFL. Boycott the Super Bowl 2017

It is foolish for the NFL to allow this.

If the NFL doesn’t quickly put a stop to this they are going to see a significant drop in attendance.

And that will lead to a corresponding drop in sales of NFL merchandise.

Geez, we have bred an group of THE most spoiled brat athletes.
WE can strike back, so to speak, by sending NASTY letters to their sponsors. E-mails are USELESS as they can be deleted and forgotten in a second.

LETTERS aren't so easily disposed of, especially with the ole "cc" [carbon copy] notation at the bottom which shows who ELSE is getting said copy of nasty letters.

I've used this method for DECADES and it never, I say, NEVER, fails.

I live in Houston not far from the stadium.
Freep the Super Bowl?

These idiots seem to be overlooking the pesky fact that they're but a mere 12% of the population, and generally held in ill-repute by the nation's other minorities.

Some would say that those kinds of numbers don't bode well for the prospects of an 'uprising', or whatever the hell they think they want.

Apparently not many math majors in their ranks . . .

"Chiefs' Marcus Peters raises fist during national anthem"

How lame. That's sooooooo 1968.

These idiots don’t understand they’re destroying the magic of the game and challenging the idea that athletes deserve sponsorship deals.People will start wondering, why should I listen to Nutcase Blowhard try to sell me tennis shoes?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Sounds as if the NFL is getting too political for everyone. Soon maybe we will have a modern equivalent of Nika Riots over what colors the teams wear and the meanings of those colors.

NFL players are a bunch of cowardly p*ssies. The ‘L’ stands for Losers.

And yet despite all the outrage, millions of Americans continue to watch the NFL, purchase NFL merchandise, host NFL football parties and purchase the products & services of the NFL sponsors.

We have become a nation of Bitches and whiners who lack the courage of their convictions.

If only 10% of Americans were willing to boycott the NFL and its financial interests this BS would stop before the end of the week.

But, no. We are nation of idiots, fools, drones and regards that are only willing to complain about our on blogs rather than take any meaningful action which will upset our comfortable lives. Welcome to the new USA.

We are our own worst enemy.

Lord have mercy upon us all.

I heard a Peters post-game interview. The guy is a moron.

They can get away with this because of a difference between freedom of speech and uniform violations ...

FWIW, I was at the Colts/Lions game.

We were greeted by a message from GWB. Then a moment of silence, interrupted only by a boisterous Lions fan. Then a flag the size of the field was unfurled and was held by active duty military, veterans and first responders. Many Lions players helped with the flag, perhaps 20. No players from either team kneeled, sat or otherwise tried to be a putz. The National Anthem was rendered like a boss by an active duty IMPD officer. During the anthem, the in stadium camera cut to a view of an empty chair with a POW/MIA flag above it as it does at every home game. This display is a permanent fixture in the stadium. The Colts also reserve a section for active duty military at every home game. I looked around the stadium, I didn’t see a soul sitting and every hat was off.

Well done by Colts IMO. Quite somber and quite moving for this observer.
