The fans should turn their backs to these idiots, and boo them off the field...
The “fans” shouldn’t show up if they truly want to make a statement.
A huge chunk of the NFL interest is from gambling. That won’t change regardless of this distasteful behavior. That said the NFL doesn’t hold a monopoly on leisure activities and there is a big wide world out there for alternatives.
Did that (turned off the NFL) years ago. For the most part, these athletes are a bunch of overpaid, egotistical spoiled children with no gratitude or appreciation for their status in life. Their wholesale embracement of a false narrative is evidence of their lack of reasoning ability.
