Dang. If this is a poll on that dumpster fire known as Twitter...

We already know they intend to kneel. Have no intention of even tuning in to see. If interested, highlights of the actual game action will be readily available afterward with no commercial or stupid posturing interruptions. Time delay means “live” action isn’t live anyway. Once the advertisers realize your eyeballs aren’t there for all the money spent, they might stop funding these @$$#0<&$.

This is why the networks will never show them kneeling.

There’s another thread where the players will stay in their locker rooms during the anthem.

“The first game of the 2020 season is Thursday night”

With all this yakking I thought the season was half over.

If the kneeling has nothing to do with disrespecting the flag, why do they only kneel during the anthem and display of the flag?

That’s about as close to unanimous as it gets these days.

Also, if they don’t show the National Anthem being sung (not only the music being played) I’m not watching.

Bye, Cowboys.

Seems I saw something that the Chiefs & Texans are looking at staying in the locker room during the National Anthem.

Guess that would solve the issue.

I doubt if I’m ever coming back. Sundays have been pretty fun.

...would they stop watching if players take a knee during the anthem?

Crappy question. Kneeling or pouting in the locker room is the same action.

The issue of weak, incapable management aside, what is sad is that their white gridiron brothers are either not able to, or not interested in explaining the fallacy in their anti-American BLM thinking.

It’s time to just write off the NFL, NBA, etc. No boycotts - just take your money and your eyeballs elsewhere permanently and let it wither away.

I’s like to thank the woke Chief’s organization for teaching me that they are a waste of my precious time on this earth.

I am now discipling a young hispanic man, and seeing the fruit of his heart being turned to Jesus. He in turn, is starting to disciple another young man.

That is quality time that has eternal consequences.

Put me on that list. I will never watch another NFL game. They sold out to the racists and communists.

Just a lot of hard talk. So many people are desperate to watch sports, especially here at Free Republic, they will watch anyway. They’ll bitch about it, but never give it up. If interest were truly dropping, we would see sports topics dwindle, but I don’t see evidence of that.

86% is a big number. Players are definitely going to kneel or protest in some way so I guess either ratings will crater or people of full of BS. We’ll see.

Free speech. Let them kneel. They will lose their fans, but who needs em.

The rapid cardboard fans in the stands will watch whether the players kneel or not.

Former fan here. Will probably never watch another game. If everyone on every team stands for the anthem and flag, I will rethink. Not until then. Have not missed watching the NFL anyway.
