I watch sports to escape work and life. Last place politics should be in is sports and places of worship. Idgas if you stand, sit or curse this country. It is their 1A right but I do prefer a nonpolitized game and I know who not to interact with. TB this thread.

I couldn't care less about who comments on this. Why is there a need for every damn person to comment on this issue?

Americans are damn drama queens and live in a soapbox world. FB and Twitter platforms allow idiots of both sides to rage like hormonal teenagers.

This is so stupid, Trump is a Reaction to the disrespectful childlessness of Sports Athletes today.  The NFL needs to clean up its own disrespectful house, Trump is simply saying what much of the NFL fan base is thinking which is why he did it on a stump speech.

How is kneeling disrespect? It is not as if they are being loud and obnoxious during the anthem. They are still kneeling and observing a moment of introspection, which is still respectful to the country and military. They are making peaceful statement for what they believe in while being respectful. I used to be on the other side of the argument, but there is no reason that these athletes should be attacked for what they are doing. Yes, they are rich athletes so I know there are comments like "they aren't underprivileged" or "they have nothing to be upset about", but they are not only being a voice for themselves but for others that aren't as privileged.

I hope every single player kneels today.

Yeah all those Alabamans waving confederate flags have a valid point on respecting the American flag.

The same people that hated on The Golden Calf of Bristol for kneeling are applauding these people for kneeling.

Hating on JR for not releasing a statement is short-sighted and ignorant. If you care that much about how he feels then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
