A group representing thousands of America's veterans says the NFL "censored" an ad the group wanted to run in the programs sold at next month's Super Bowl.

The ad targeted football players for protesting during the national anthem.

AMVETS National Commander Marion Polk tweeted Monday night that the group "will not tolerate" the NFL's censorship after the group says the football organization refused to print an ad urging players to "#PleaseStand" during the Feb. 4 championship

As if I needed another reason not to watch. The NFL is dead to me.

[dinodino]

I swear, the NFL just keep digger their own grave deeper and deeper.

Screw the whole lot of them! Anti-American bastards, all.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The NFL has made it clear that they hate America.

America should return the favor.

When I was younger we would fill a Trash Can with lots of Fruit and Booze to make our Superbowl.

AMVETS lost all credibility with me when they agreed to pay the NFL $30,000 for the ad in the first place.

The nfl’s downward spiral continues unabated...

Reason #347 why not to ever watch the National Felons League.

That is a good thing. Anti-American losers.

Veterans aren’t the NFL’s audience any more.

Their audience wears their pants around their knees.

70% of NFL players are black...
75% of NBA players are black...
98% of NHL players are white...

I was glad to learn that the Jag’s lost - this was the team that went to the UK to play and kneeled for our National anthem but stood for the UK’s.

30K is very cheap for a TV ad let alone during the Superbowl
