“Michelle Obama - “All this for a d#*& flag?””


Even if the NFL does away with the NA, which they will, I want to ask the die hard football fans here, WILL YOU GO BACK TO THE NFL?

Maybe the majority of players hold us in contempt. I would put the number at 75-80% of the NBA.
Is not playing the national anthem good enough to get you back to watching theses overpaid whiners?

“If the Steelers don’t come out the fans should WALK OUT OF THE STADIUM.”

And what will that achieve? The tickets are already sold and the game can be played without fans in the stands.

What the fans should do is occupy the field and destroy the game and ruin the chance for TV sponsors/advertisers to make money.

OCCUPY THE FIELD and win the day.

They should start the game with a flag-burning ceremony.

Very sad but that would be the easiest thing for the NFL to do.

We need the military to speak up NOW before they take away the flag.

Starve it until No Fans Left.

Don’t buy tickets, watch it on TV, buy its gear, click on its website, or play its sanctioned fantasy leagues.

I blame the media for encouraging this. Now it’s just a bunch of “me too” going on.

we are big Steeler fans ...also military conservative family. My husband wonders if maybe this was a good idea. It takes the platform away from the players. Stops it cold.

I stand corrected.

Yeah I like that better - better yet - the fans should block the tunnel and not let the steelers take the field!

You say that like it’s a bad thing. I know women with more b@lls than this lot.

Easy to tune out and turn them off.

Easier for me since I got sick of these over paid prima donnas a LONG time ago.

If most of them couldn’t carry a foot ball they would be digging ditches or trying to be on welfare.

Tune out, turn off it won’t take long for the money to stop flowing. Don’t want this gang back ever though at any price. There are plenty of others.

Watch what happens in basketball this season. They are losers as well.
