This is precisely why it's important to take down the NFL on this, to show the power we have, and that we aren't going to take it anymore from the Left.

I appreciate your reply and understand your point, however, I can't totally agree. When I talked about this situation being manipulated by individuals who have an axe to grind totally apart from sports, I was not just referring to one side of the political wars.

I don't want to "take down the NFL". I enjoy professional football and refuse to give up something I enjoy to make a political statement. I don't harbor any resentment for the players success, either athletic or economic, but I don't grant them a right to burden me with their grievance. I also refuse to accept disrespect for the flag and other symbols of our national identity as a price for admission to the show. As the providers of a product I enjoy and want to purchase, I expect the ownership provide that product absent the unnecessary and unappreciated distractions they have allowed to be included.

In summary, I am a customer and want to be treated as such.
