Is college football trying to be turned off at most homes like the NFL?

Well, if the game appears on ESPN, ABC or the SEC Network, all Disney networks, they're off at my house. They can thank ESPN for that!

Let him kneel in the stands while he watches the game off the sidelines.

Mizzou two years ago had the football team threaten to “strike” over some (fake) campus race nonsense.

The university president didn’t bow to demands fast enough. He backed out as the students surrounded his car and almost backed into some idiot.

The football players threatened to not play unless the president of the university was fired. The coaches backed the players. The entire system gave in and fired the president.

But all the cries of racism were heard and black student population went down from 10 to 6 percent. Parents saw the chaos and kept their kids away from PCU. The freshman class went down 35% and half a dozen dorms have been closed.

Oh, and the football team? Completely terrible and more than half empty stands every Saturday night now.

The lesson should be learned by the NFL. The money / boosters / ticket buyers / fan gear buyers are Trump-voting conservative whites. Mess them over by letting the crazies run the nuthouse and you’ll pay the price.

I am very aware of Texas A&M. It is a proud and patriotic institution. They need to tell that son of a bitch that he will be finished at A&M if he even takes a half squat.

How did he quality for A&M?

He’s a 4-star football recruit.

Colleges ignore grades, criminal records, character, you name it as long as they are dealing with a football player because they want to feed the money monster. Boosters, tickets, gear. it’s tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the university.

So if it’s a thug or if it’s a Sandusky the university administration looks the other way and goes along to get along.

Is not A & M a military school?

As someone pointed out above, aTm is one of the six senior commissioning sources for the military.

The others are: The Citadel, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Tech, North Georgia, and Norwich.

They ought to yank the little Prick’s scholarship and hand him a bill for 4 years Education. Then the little snot would see just how Average Americans feel who have to pay “Privileged” rates for life’s journey

If he follows through, revoke his scholarship and perks. For just the threat he should be...something appropriate.

Note new tagline.

They need to ax the scholarship for kneeling in high school and draw a hard line.

Otherwise, they’ll be having it on their sideline later this year. <<< prediction!

This nonsense is coming to college sports. Any weekend now it’ll explode.

Liberals are LOVING this. Boycotting football? They’ve been trying for YEARS to kill football. Manly American sport with flags and flyovers? They hate it and have been trying to destroy it for decades. This is a gift to them and they’ll make it spread.

I’ve lived long enough in Alabama to root for the teams. But the fact that I am not native shows from time to time.

I once explained that I root for Alabama and Auburn, until the Iron bowl, when I root for Alabama only. I was informed that rooting for Auburn, just because they were in the same state, was like rooting for the devil because he was in the Bible.

Anyway, A&M will face Bama, and of course that will be interesting to me. I wonder what coach Sabin will say about taking a knee.

NFL is taxpayer funded as well.

We (Joe Q. Taxpayer) paid $7 BILLION DOLLARS in corporate welfare building stadiums around the country.

We are paying for these idiots to insult us in our own public buildings.

Doesn’t matter. He will be a millionaire some day; an ignorant and half-literate one, but a millionaire nonetheless.
