I’ll stick to NASCAR where they say a prayer and sing the National Anthem before each race

I'll stick to the TV show Haunted Towns where they say a prayer before embarking on their night-time ghost hunting activities before I watch another NFL game. Not seen one NFL game this season so far, including the preseason games.

I protest the NFL so it evens out. “Entertainers” will get a business lesson.

I am surprised that the GB fans did not boo them out of the stadium. Then, again, Rodgers was supporting ck.
I know it has been said many times, but when I am on the clock, my boss determines if my actions are appropriate or not. If not, I get fired. Why are these team owners accepting their employees to behave this way? smfh

It’s gonna be a hoot when nfl (in-effer-hell) sportswriters and sportscasters begin losing their jobs because their audiences bailed on them. And it will be self-induced destruction because these putzes where the ones promoting the anti-American protestors.

Death.... to the nfl.

James Woods is a national hero.

The NFL will soon stop raising the flag. Just wait. Maybe this season but definitely the start of next.

In three years, no one will remember there ever was a flag or anthem at games.

The NFL had a chance to stop this cold but decided not to. It is now a runaway problem for them. There may be a solution but so far nothing is happening so the losses will mount for them for now.

Thanks for posting that link. I read it the other day and it certainly deserves mention in this thread.

Too bad NASCAR is slowly dying. Its gone corporate, and all the personality has been taken out of it.

I boycotted the NFL last year and will do so again this year, as long as cheap partisan politics interfere with the game.
By boycotting the NFL I have become slimmer and no longer smell like stale beer.
The advertisers are losing their butts on this fiasco.

I’d rather have the NFL follow the example set by the Cowboys’ owner - strict discipline with respect to the anthem.

Even if it would result in Cleveland being unable to field a team.

as Rush was saying the NFL may just get rid of the National Anthem all together. I wouldn’t be surprised. It is a holdover from a different time and a different country. We’re an enlightened multi-nationalist socialist country now. :-)

“The NFL really has a death wish.”

The NFL is still around?
How quaint.
I thought it was gone years ago

You’d have to pay me to watch a professional sports game, and I mean a lot. Patriotism trumps sports.

Bennett has alleged that he had been the victim of racial discrimination after being threatened at gunpoint by the police


Which of course was instantly proven to be a total crock.
