“A real bellwether as to how this is going to play out is the typically very high visibility Sunday matchup between the arch divisional rivals Steelers & Ravens in Baltimore. Keep an eye on that one.”
And as a former diehard Ravens fan and Steeler-hater, I agree, I am curious as to how that game will turn out...I’ll read about it later, my desire to watch that game has dissolved to zero...when I sat down and watched the Baltimore Ravens - who previously represented the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner kneel for the national anthem, then stand respectfully for “God Save the Queen” on foreign soil, it sickened me and angered me...they deserved that loss and the loss of support of many hard-working, patriotic fans of all races, religions and creeds...when I saw the final score later on Sunday, my immediate reaction was one from Seinfeld...that’s a shame...looking forward to my Sunday as I’m free from the NFL...
These national anthem protestors just don’t get it at all. There are times when you HAVE to drop politics. For example, when the US sends troops overseas for a significant conflict. The goal of every citizen should be to support the troops and get them back home successfully. Disagreed with the need to send troops on a few occasions, but once they were sent and American life’s were on the line, I stopped the politics and got behind the effort.
For a true Packers fan, ARodg can do no wrong - he is, after all the best quarterback ever ( although a true Packers fan would also be correct in identifying Brett Favre as the best quarterback ever). And yet even he has managed to anger a large part of his fan base with his stupid actions on the field and his idiotic statements off the field. The word fan is short for fanatic, and that most surely describes the cheese heads who love their team. So it will be real interesting to see what happens tomorrow night.
