Great adaptation. If only....
What other country in the world would even want these punks. Frankly we have far too many with the -”I am owed this and that mentality.”
Week 6 ? ? ?
Wow! I really, really,really don’t miss the NFL!
“Trump critic Aaron Rogers out for the season, broken collarbone.”
Maybe Colin Kapernick is available to fill in. /s
I was a decent fan who would root for the home team.
I might even buy some jerseys for the younger.
Well, those days are over. The NFL politicized its business.
Fine.
Joining you with a great big:
We. Don’t. CARE.
All members of the Lions and Saint stood for the national anthem. The Lions linked arms for the anthem for the second consecutive week.
The Saints all kneeled before the anthem and then stood up for it. A cop out, still trying to stick it to Trump.
At least his knee is ok.
Saw that
KARMA, BAYBEE
How sweet of them.
Appropriately enough.......Patriots become first NFL team to sponsor ‘Gay Bowl’

I was wondering about the Cowboys since Jerry Jones is the only owner that I know of who threatened to not play anyone who won't stand for the national anthem. Guess we'll have to wait for next week to find out. I haven't watched any games, nor will I, until I hear they're required to stand and that there is punishment for those who don't.

Or “Instant Karma.”
I wonder how many players don’t really give a damn about the National Anthem Broo Ha of ought 17?
I wonder if some are thinking “ wait, I’ve done football all my life. At every level, we’ve done the National Anthem. It’s just part of game day. And now, because Colin got cheesed off last year when he didn’t get to be a starter, so he sulked on the field and no one wants a 250 pound distemperate on their team, so he’s a outta work, so he has to make up this bullshit and if I don’t take a knee my guys won’t protect me on the field when ALL I WANNA DO IS PLAY FOOTBAL!!
So if I take a knee my fans will hate me, lose money for the league. If I don’t take a knee, some of my teammates will make my life hell. Hmmm... fans and country ( because even the the kneething is not about the fla, military or country enough people think it is...it’s all about perception) or co-workers? With all this Freedom of Speach stuff being applied incorrectly, where’s my freedom to make my own choice?
And, sinceColin has been unemployed for almost a year now, where are all the programs and outreach es has he funded or participated in? I mean, he knows that in order to fix a problem that one has brought to America’s attention, one has to get in front of it and start working on solutions. Has he done that?
Nope, he’s pretty busy suing the whole league for collusion. I mean, not only did he show the whole world what a dissatisfied baby does, he showed team leaders. No one even has to call his old team for a job reference.
Really long way to say that I feel badly for the players who just want to do their jobs, no politics.
Two years and I’ve only seen a few minutes of football (overtime in the Super Bowl). Don’t miss it at all.
Six F16s flew over to thunderous cheers & thunderous applause!
So much better to get out and do something rather than watch a bunch of idiots run around.
