No argument here. That’s exactly right.

Argue your point and go to the polls like the rest of us.

Problem is, these folk’s ideas are so radical they can’t get more than 10% of the populace to buy in.

Protesters should stay in the locker room until anthem is finished then have them come out together in shame to hear the boo’s and heckling.

It takes a white player to change things? Yassuh Massa Bennett!

If I'm unmoved by a black idiot, why would I be swayed by a white one?

NF who? The he** with these unappreciative, pampered rich anti-American a-holes. I have some cold ones with friends and skip the pathetic mess.

I don’t plan to make anybody do anything; I also don’t understand your hysterical response. I simply believe that if you wish to come here and take advantage of what the prior generations have built and died for, you honor a few traditions. I’ve been all over the world on business; I’ve seen few countries that many people want to emigrate to and a vast majority that the residents would love to get out of and come here. Maybe you can switch places with them.

Yes, I could be swayed by some cold ones.

“Michael Bennett said last week that it would take a white player to kneel for the national anthem “to really get things changed.”

Oh, what is it you want changed, Bennett? Maybe your salary should be changed so that it is more in line with your education and skill? Maybe white players will be increased to 40% of the NFL? Something like those changes, that what you have in mind?

I really don’t care what those overpaid crybabies in the NFL do any more. I have not watched any NFL for the past three years and do not intend to watch it anymore. I will not be disrespected and the memories of those who sacrificed and gave their lives for OUR country will not be either.

As my tagline has said for some time:

The Browns would win by 3 or 4 touchdowns, but since I am boycotting the NFL and CFB, I’ll never know.

I couldn’t care less if the entire NFL kneels down, or does whatever the hell they want. Until enough people stop watching the NFL and player salaries go down, nothing is going to change. And if they keep their salaries because ESPN is locked into a long term deal with them, ESPN gets hurt, and it couldn’t happen to nicer people!

’ So many blacks are incapable of understanding how lucky they are that their ancestors got sold into slavery. If not they would be living in Togo.’

Now this seems to be a correct statement.

Boycott the NFL. This is nonsense.

I don’t agree with their stance... that’s another instance where you let your emotions rule you... and your hysteria is scary to freedoms we all enjoy, but you do not want everyone to enjoy that freedom. And that is scary.

I hope your fascist ways get resolved.

Good day.

They probably hate Trump and cheer when a cop is slaughtered!

We can laugh when their ESPN bill alone is $300 per weekend.

If those seats are not filled during the NFL games, the NFL and ESPN will keep charging their tv NFL jock addicts until their second mortgage payments can’t be paid.

When the knellers take their pose switch songs to ‘Backstabbers’ ironically played by the group The OJays, commemorate them all well and announce game over as it is.

“I would like to thank all the entitled unindicted co-conspirators in the NFL for freeing up my Sunday afternoons this fall.”

Others and I have discussed the free Sunday afternoons and how much our wives are enjoying us getting items done on our Honey Do This List.

Also, eliminating Faux, ABCNNBCBS fake news on the national and at the local level has given me an enormous amount of free time.

Let them celebrate their criminal BLM buddies on someone else’s time and $!

Everyone in the stands should turn their backs on the field during opening kickoffs this year.

The team owners better get this under control ... fast! What the owners are doing — or rather what the owners are not doing — is just plain bad for business.
