The NFL players are at it again - taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love......
.....Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!
Let us know how your meal and their response was!
Thanks.
I guess the drop in ratings over the past couple of years wasn’t enough. These idiots are going to kill the NFL; and, they will have only themselves to blame.
To answer your question: No, they will not do anything about it. The inmates are running the asylum.
Every year, my local church was careful to avoid scheduling our Annual Meeting on Superbowl Sunday, because they knew that a lot of people would not come because they wanted to be home early for the game.
Last January, they scheduled it for Superbowl Sunday, and nobody noticed. Nobody was eager to get home. Nobody had a party to prepare for. We are a pretty liberal group, not a bunch of Trump supporters, by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just that nobody cares about football anymore.
Time to put up or shut up Mr President. If you are serious about your criticism of the NFL, pull the plug on the Dept of Defense support for the NFL. No federal assets could be used at any NFL event. Make those billionaire owners foot their own bills and make their own way without soldiers being on the field holding flags and being insulted at the same time.
