Mennonite colleges around here won’t play the national anthem. it’s too violent for them.
These ‘Protests’ (look at me, look at me) are so useless. Nothing will change.
Yeah followed the bug-eyed moron’s “lead” and failed to mention it was a high school girl’s volleyball team... and yes, they’re all black.

Answer: Yes
Time for Roger Baddell to resign. JMHO.
The Negro Felons League is off indefinitely for me
I’m not watching until this stops. Period.
#RollTide, #WarEagle, #GoBigBlue, etc for favorite college teams. #NFLSucks!

Won’t be watching NFL for a loooonnngggg time. I can live without it and i will.
I am done with NFL.
We have also tuned out of the NFL...I guess they’re too busy trying to ruin careers....spoiled, overpaid, children...(no brains.)
It’s time to boycott sponsors, starting with Disney.Is there anyone doing this. We could start something here.
