Even Rodin's "The Thinker" could kneel forever to contemplate that conundrum and still not solve the puzzle.
See? Boycotts can work!
Spent a lovely day with my family, not a one of whom so much as mentioned the Super Bowl.
Is it bad that I watched the fourth quarter? In my defense, I didn’t see any of last year’s game.
Suffering from Colin cancer
Our Super Bowl starts now as the falling number of season ticket renewals prove that the Slum Dog Millionaire league is still rolling down hill.
I chose to watch the game, only the second game I saw all season. It was actually quite enjoyable. No one knelt (word must have come down from on high) and the only politics I saw was from a T-Mobile ad that was universally reviled. It shows that if the NFL just sticks to football and leaves the politics for other venues they can present an enjoyable product. Will they learn the lesson? Will the fans return? I guess we’ll know in a few months.

The only super bowl I saw had C heerios and milk in it.
Hey, Roger Goodell has made this happen. I just hope that the idiot Liberal FNFL owners are happy with their decision to give that asshat that $200 Million contract extension. It’s going to be very interesting to see their viewership numbers continue to fall in the coming season.
I am committed to continuing to find other things to do with my time and money that does not include the SJW scumbags in the FNFL.
Likely will not change the general prevailing national football mentality one bit!

I can remember when football players were heros. Clean cut, healthy living, good guys of all colors.
Now they are a bunch of thugs who beat women, act like jerks, do drugs and the only example they provide is what you don’t want your kid to be like.
They are ungrateful arrogant jerks and who wants to watch that?
A lower rating despite two teams from two of the biggest TV markets with national fan bases participating.
We watched the puppy bowl. Much more personality and sportsmanship.
10th most seen program in US TV history. 103 million people. I think they’re OK with the numbers.
Proud to say this household contributed to the decline
(N)FL. Take your hatred elsewhere
I was thinking to myself that this would have a good ending.... Someone told me that the Eagles were one of the few teams that did not kneel during the national anthem. The coach and the MVP are both devout Christians too.
And then I heard these that all but destroyed my illusions:
1) A few Eagles players actually made the black panther fist signal during the national anthem.
2) A few of the players are going to boycott the traditional meet at the White House because of Trump, thus, POLITICIZING the entire thing once again.
WHAT A TURN OFF.
But the morning news showed some highlights of the half time show and I was shaking my head at how bad it seemed. Maybe it's just me, but I can't understand paying money to hear that garbage. I am amazed, or amused that people can really be satisfied with what passes for music or entertainment these days.
Their was a Super Bowl on? Who knew! I watched Audie Murphy and Randolph Scott movies.
I was playing online poker and reading my newsfeeds during those hours. Free Republic was suspiciously VERY QUIET during that time. Hmmmmmm....I wonder why...
I haven’t watched a Super Bowl since Tampa one, since there were no miracles left to see.
I have no plan to watch the super bowl, or any NFL game, again in my lifetime.

I watched the superbowl.
I’ve seen high school football games where the kids played more cautious football.
That game was was totally out there and one great game.
