Which I have never understood.
In the US we are proud we threw off the yoke of Kings.
“If you allow one side then you allow bot sides and so on.”
Are you sure you want to advocate banning American flags because if you allow American flags you have to allow anti-American flags?
This is a better idea: do whatever you can to help make the NFL smaller and insignificant. Soon maybe it can become just a distant, unhappy memory.
It’s my understanding that II is used when a generation is skipped. If you share your grandfather’s name you use II
Since when is the American Flag political? It’s the flag that much of the world reveres. People don’t like what’s toning on? Vote wiser. Don’t blame the American Flag.
Problem is the league (Goodell) and the spineless owners. It’s a business and they have failed miserably at it since the whole Kapernick BS.
It should have been squelched immediately by firing his ass and anyone else who knelt, protested or otherwise. They failed and now it’s just a shxt show.
I’ve already given up on all pro sports and college is getting just as bad just because of the colleges.
Got up early to watch F1...not a thought about football until I saw this article.
Guess I have already moved on.
Antwon was a junior, not a II. His father was the senior.
Some people - even Obama - have the notion that Jr. has the same meaning as II. It doesn’t.
Years ago when multiple generations lived together a baby might be given the name of a grandfather or an uncle. The designation ‘II’ was put after the baby’s name to distinguish the baby from the older relative.
Then you’re right. Had no idea that people were doing that!
But he did have the same name as his father. That's what is so funny about people using the II designation.

All pro sports are down. How many of you even knew the Stanley Cup games have started? The new Magnum PI reruns did almost as well as hockey and much better than baseball yesterday, although the college game between Louisville and Miami did OK.

More LFL, less NFL. (L=Lingerie)
Heidi Klum for Commish!!
Wow - you type fast. Looks like we were typing at the same time.
I always assumed anyone who used the designation II, rather than Jr., knew the difference. Then Obama was elected and realized some people didn’t and they thought II was a classy way to say junior.
Back when players had real jobs in the off-season.
It’s the ones that use the ‘I’ designation after their names are the ones you have to worry about... :-)
Who would have ever thought that big, tough, football players would turn out to be such cowards?
