Yeah - that’s what happened with me and the NBA - became a thug sport.
I am looking forward to seeing the NFL ratings after this week’s games. Hope they are off the cliff. We have no institutional racism in the country. If our country is so bad, let these idiots go somewhere else and leave the rest of us in peace.

Everyone calls this”taking the knee”——it should be called “dissing the flag”.

Yes.

It’s even worse, these morons don’t even realize that the Star Spangled Banner contains a celebration of the end of slavery. A fifth stansa was added post Civil war with the purpose of that celebration.
So, they kneel to protest a song that celebrates the end of slavery and stood to celebrate a tribute to the monarchy that FORCED slavery on the colonies.
Complete idiocy.
