You can go respect all you want. I'm furious!
The NFL sells itself as entertainment. Were you entertained watching that spectacle? I wasn't. It was political! And why should I need or want that?
OK, so they didn't "disrespect the Flag or Anthem." So what? Whatever their beef is:
I AM NOT ENTERTAINED BY THEIR PROTESTS!!!
Why do these people get political only on a nationally televised game day?
Freedom of Speech? If these whiners have freedom of speech only on game day when televised nationally, then all the rest of us have *no* freedom of speech at all (unless you have a TV network camped outside your house every Sunday afternoon so that you can take a knee for whatever issue chafes you).
So let them protest the same way we all do every day, except for game day -- when they should just STFU and play!
The Constitution is for all voices, and although I disagree and subject matter makes me angry, I will defend their right to do it! I want that same right, when I go to protest their sorry arses!
