Why you probably won't be seeing any kneeling players prior to this year's Super Bowl

None of those franchises made the playoffs, even though four of the five did so in the previous season

Karma.

Also players dream of the big super bowl play and subsequent marketing bonanza, kneeling during the anthem could cost them big.

And no breast will ever be exposed during a Superbowl half-time show either. Yeah. I got "trust" issues with them. I'll just not tune in at all.

Collective bargaining agreement won’t stop owners from declining to renew the troublemakers.

Not only will I NOT be watching this year’s (or any other year’s) Super Bowl, I will also NOT be watching any and all programming that has anything remotely associated with the FNFL or the Super Bowl.

Like NASCAR who decided to embrace not only Hollywood Celebtards and the Environmental dipsticks, the FNFL has lost my support, totally. They will NEVER get it back, either.

I’m ex-Canadian. I love hockey more than NFL and animals who take the knee for this great country.

"By their actions, the kneelers brought controversy into the locker rooms, and this kind of distraction is always going to be detrimental to team cohesiveness," said Robert Kuykendall, a spokesman for the conservative corporate watchdog 2ndVote.

This is really the big issue for most teams. There is a variety of types in the locker room and this issue probably ripped locker rooms apart. That's why they had to have shows of "unity". Not because they all supported the leftist caus but because the leftist cause was ripping teams apart.

That’s exactly right.

Live hockey is great, unfortunately it doesn’t do well on TV.

[BipolarBob]

Hopefully because you’ll see the Vikings and Patriots

That'll be the only one worth watching. If it's anybody else . . . meh. Won't watch.

[ml/nj]

I still won't watch.

The only Super Bowl I haven't watched on TV (from 1967* on) was the one I attended.

“...any disciplinary action they took would constitute a breach of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association.”

Even if that were true, they could have issued a statement to that effect, and saying that they held the kneelers to be moral lepers.

[laweeks]

Won’t watch it anyway

[bgill]

Too little, too late. They’ve already shown their colors. No take backs. I won’t be forgetting so they can count this past viewer out.

If you are going to speak about another Freeper, it is good manners to ping them.

Hockey is great in HD on a big screen. It can be terrible on older smaller sets, though.

I watch games using a projector and a 100” DIY screen. Really great viewing for cheap.

[beergarden]

why? did I say anything bad about Impy? What is this? Snitch central?

[kosciusko51]

You called him and other Freepers hypocrites. Yes, I would say that was bad.

[kosciusko51]

What is this? Snitch central?

No, it is an open forum.

[shotgun]

Are the networks still enhancing the movement of the puck by showing the zoom trail?
