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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
