That's the biggest change in my mind. The NFL has gone all-in on sticking the anthem and more importantly in their minds, PROTESTORS, in our face. They don't care about the anthem -- it's the protestors that must be allowed to protest. And they're going to shove it down your throat.
I stopped watching during the Colin Kaepernick debacle where Goodell refused to address the problem head on. Now, he's move from apathy to activism, and trying to force us to embrace the protest.
No thanks.

Same.
Like Barney Coopersmith I would stand during the anthem so I know it is very rare for the NFL to televise it. But this last night was huge. All about the kneeling, the soloist was great too. For a Monday night? Hmm. And the tempo was so slow it was dragged out for long enough to get spectators to reconsider their love of the USA
One wonders who’s sponsoring this seditious crap.
