NFL Should Drop National Anthem, Embrace Change
Deadspin ^ | June 8, 2020 | Rpd Parker

The NFL says it is sorry.

The same league that pushed back and punished Colin Kaepernick for his peaceful protest against police brutality and social injustice now wants to join in and help the same cause.

I think they should drop it, too. I’d rather not hear it than to see it disrespected. But I know how Liberals work. If the NFL announced they were no longer going to play it, demonicRATS would demand they play it just to rub it in our faces.

All these millionaire players will sue the NFL out of business one day soon.
Reparations, just give the league to the players, I’m sure they can do much better than their Plantation owners. S/

I call for Reparations!

Yeah. Drop the anthem of the country that you hate so much that has made you filthy rich. Go to somalia.

Well, matter of fact, NFL can now drop dead as far as I am concerned. I will reserve my football watching to college football, unless/until the intelligentsia at the colleges start making the teams bow to BLM.

There was a time when I never missed a game on TV. That time has gone the way of the buffalo.

If players take a knee prior to the game...it will only ensure that I will continue to have Sundays and Thursdays for myself and my family.

Life is good without the NFL.

Ditto for the the Thugs in the NBA.

My idea from long ago just noting the general indifference crowds had to the anthem was to have it on opening day and last game of the season if no playoffs were going to happen for that particular team. All star games and playoffs right up to championship would have anthems with big name singers.

Thank God I stopped the season tickets this year!

This is what happens when the social fabric fully unravels...

Adam Ford said Colin Kapernack is the public face of BLM. He said Kap tweeted, “Revolution is the only logical reaction (to George Floyd’s murder). Your violence has brought this resistance.” He said Kap’s tweet - a call for violence - started the riots. The intent was never peaceful.

BLM’s agenda is Marxist - reparations, trans-gender, free abortions for all, dismantle ‘privilege’ in society, radical feminism. They are getting the corporations to sign onto it even tho they haven’t a clue.

For most of my life, I was ambivalent to stick and ball sports. I’ve probably seen less than ten football games over 57 years. Just don’t care.

The season after the Ravens won the Super Bowl, I was given the corporate seats for a game. They were at the VIP level. I gave them to a buddy of mine.

With this new policy, I probably won’t see 57 seconds of football over the rest of my life.

The NFL should declare one week in the next season as "Black Lives Matter Week" and let only black fans attend, and let it be for free, except for concessions.

Then see what happens.

This family stopped two years ago. In fact, we watch NO pro sports because of the liberal, socialist, anti-conservative bent they all take.

I don’t hold out much hope for the pros as they can’t even get my favorite QB Deshaun Watson a fair offensive line.

Just cancel your cable, save money and forget about these A$$holes.

Sling Blue costs $30 per month.

It does not carry any of the football channels and most of the other trash that hates America.
