“They usually don’t show the anthem...Going back to the old ways is a fine solution.”
Usual GOP solution - give them what the want, in this case no more anthem showing pride in America (at least on TV), and then declare victory and move on.
Kind of reminds me of Mario The Pius, when, during our saturation bombing of Iraq in Jan, 1991, he said that we should “declare victory and go home”, rather than launch the invasion necessary to extract them from Kuwait.
Nope, SORRY, but now that they’ve put the knees and arm-locking IN MY FACE for the past month (really year plus), they will have to get on their knees one more time, except TO ME, Mr. (former) Football Fan. And, of course, it will take much more now than just begging me to ‘forget it ever happened’ as their contracts melt away, so I don’t give the NFL much hope.
I’m pretty sure having their protest rendered completely anonymous by giving it no coverage or time isn’t actually what they want.
I’ve only actually seen the Greenbay arm linking. I never pay attention to the pre-game stuff, not when they didn’t show the anthem, and not when they do.
