Hey, I don't want to see anybody forced to stand. My Dad used to misquote Oliver Wendall Holmes: "You can certainly wave your fists around, but know that your right to flail your fists ends at the tip of my nose". Then added, "and if you bend my nose, I will surely break yours."

If the players with a grievance want to kneel during the Anthem, that is their choice. But my nose includes the respect for that anthem, and my response is economic. I have already found several other things to do with my Sundays, and I'm actually glad to be done with the NFL. I've gained back some prime time to do with as I wish. Protest or not, it doesn't really matter. I'm gone as a fan.
