Actually the reason I won’t be seeing any kneelers during the Super Bowl is that I won’t be watching, not last year, not this year, not next year, not ever in the future.

There were so many reasons why you shouldn’t allow this.

Some players, coaches, owners, and the league couldn’t see a one of them.

Idiots...

Won’t be seeing any players regardless of whether they are kneeling or not.

Hopefully because you’ll see the Vikings and Patriots, the only two teams I remotely give a damn about.

I won’t watch the Superbowl in any season where players disrespect our flag and our anthem (and thus our military, our country, and our ancestors) without consequences. I am glad to hear that those who allow themselves to focus on overt rudeness when they should be focused on the game end up losing - an appropriate penalty for those who are natural born losers!

I definitely won’t be seeing any kneeling players prior to this year’s Super Bowl, because I won’t be watching.

By the end of the regular season, only five teams featured at least one player regularly sitting or kneeling on the sidelines for the anthem: the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers, the Miami Dolphins, the New York Giants[,] and the Oakland Raiders.

None of those franchises made the playoffs...

Kneeling backfired and cost all NFL teams a lot of dough.

I switched to hockey. Even bought season tickets. Much cheaper than the NFL and once you understand the game, more exciting in my opinion.

I have long struggled to understand why wealthy owners of NFL teams tolerated this affront to the taxpayers who lavishly subsidize their new stadiums, and to their fans who skew male and patriotic. The most plausible theories involve their fear of alienating black players and their desire for acceptance in politically correct high society.

Actually, the most plausible theory is that the NFL owners reviewed their options in great detail, and after consulting their legal team they concluded that any disciplinary action they took would constitute a breach of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

Legally, it's probably that the only thing an NFL team could do with a protesting player was bench him, or cut him from the team while paying his salary for the remainder of this season -- and even the latter action might have been a problem under the collective bargaining agreement.

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.

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.

"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.

I still won't watch.

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

* 1966 season
