The NFL needs to die. I will NEVER watch people who disrespect our country, our flag and our national anthem.
People are sick and tired of sports being perverted to showcase hating America. And an athlete who kneels when its time to show honor to America is dead to me.
This is the NFL’s cross to bear and I hope it chokes on it.
The Saints also called Wells’ actions “unfortunate and disappointing,” and “sad and divisive.”
Mr. Wells is an inspiration for his stance.
God bless you Mr Wells and thanks for your service.
We are engaged in a culture war. NFL is on the dark side. Choose you side.
if I were a good young college football player I would seriously wonder if there will be any appreciable NFL left by my draft time.
I am beginning to think that us veterans need to start picketing NFL games.
You would think that after the out-pouring of help by the nation as a whole during and following Katrina that New Orleans would in particular be grateful for living here.
Perhaps an offer of free travel to their chosen home lands would make them feel better
Wow...there is NO glimmer that the NFL, Goodall, the team owners, or the players yet understand what is going on. Blaming U.S. Navy Commander John Wells for “distracting” from their their protests is the ultimate chutzpah. What an appalling team. NFL vs America...there’s only one way that turns out.
How dare this military man not support the kneelers. Doesn’t he know that the players are the real fighters for freedom. ( btw, that was sarcasm).
Apparently all leftists have the same dictionary.
And it can fit on both sides of a single sheet of paper.
They can’t stop themselves using ‘divisive.’
But what’s more divisive than contempt for patriotic symbols of a nation amd Constitution that affords such freedoms?
Well done Commander. Your self respect is intact. Screw the Saints and the NFL too, let them stew in their own crap.
Just stupid.
Well, if the team thinks that way about a veteran who stands up to their behavior, then I have a suggestion for them.
All the players should get together and draw straws. There will be two short straws. The players who draw the short straws will have a coin toss. The winner will marry Bowe Bergdahl, and the loser will marry Ms. Bradley Manning. In for a penny, in for a pound!

Wow!
The NFL management is as stupid as their players.
Dummies!
The NFL only respects veterans and the military when they are paid to do so. The league’s patriotism is as weak as the Pro Bowl.
Do whatever you have to do get the NFL off your cable package. Don’t pay these bums.
The Saints can go back to being the Ain’ts. As in I ain’t going to watch them.
He's a retired Marine colonel. Ex-director of the WW II Museum in New Orleans. His next-door neighbor is a retired Navy vet. Currently in the top 8 of the sheriff's office in the parish.
Both are season ticket holders for the Saints. So are many of their neighbors. Key word here is "are".
Because next season, they are dropping their season ticket packages and telling the Saints and the NFL to go stick it where the sun don't shine.
Their season ticket packages ranged from $4000+ for one of them and $5,000+ for the other. They will drop them next season.
Next season's ticket package holders will cause a huge dent in the NFL revenue as disgruntled fans decide it's not worth that kind of money to get their flag, National Anthem and country "kneeled on".
Disney shares on track for worst day since May 2016 amid ESPN issues

Disney releases third-quarter earnings
FBN’s Nicole Petallides on Disney’s 3rd quarter earnings.
Disney (DIS) shares are on track for their largest single-day drop in more than a year on Wednesday, hours after the company said struggles at ESPN contributed to a major decline in operating income at its cable networks.
Operating income at Disney’s cable networks dropped to $1.5 billion in the third quarter, down 23% from the same period one year earlier. The company attributed the downturn to higher programming costs associated with ESPN’s new NBA contract and lower advertising revenue amid decreased viewership.
Disney’s stock fell more than 4% in early trading. If shares close below that threshold when trading ends on Wednesday, it will mark Disney’s first single-day drop of 4% since May 2016, according to Dow Jones.
