Take your huddle costume and go cry in a corner.

This is the first exchange we've ever had and it took two posts for you to resort to this childish crap.  You've got nothing of substance to say and it's honestly disappointing. I was hoping for more from you. Oh well.

It's funny that you told me to cry in a corner. You're the one that can't hold rational discussion.

Regardless of which side you are on......watch, today’s NFL ratings will tank. 

Bringing politics into anything except politics is a mistake. 

There a monopoly so they feel they can't fail. Trump basically played there ass and they fell hook, line, and sinker.

I’ve always been told you need to pick your battles carefully. Some of these players have chosen the wrong one. If they aren’t careful their actions, if not already, will affect their paychecks and certainly future players paychecks.  Less viewers equals less money down the road. Often people can’t see the forest for the trees.

Yep. They will be proven wrong. Goodell is not the wisest commissioner the NFL has had.

I personally don't care about the protests. They don't deprecate the memory of the people I served with who never came home, it doesn't disrespect their families, and it doesn't change the meaning of that anthem to me. 

I gladly serve for people's right to freedom. All people. Whether I agree with you or not. Whether you choose to make a statement or not. I don't demand anything from anyone. JR, @Cookie Lyon, or anyone else.

As a proud member of a military family, I'm happy to see so many players taking a social stand (kneel) towards injustice. Most of the people complaining about how "disrespectful" it is either haven't been affected by it, or have never served a day in their lives.

And stop telling players to "stick to sports". I and they damn sure don't care if you look to them to distract you from your crappy life Sundays. When their families/loved ones/friends are the ones being effected the most they have every right to speak out and demonstrate against it. They don't tell you to stick to being a fry cook when you comment 24/7 about their performances, why should they have to be muzzled to appease you?

I commend you for your feelings. Many others don’t feel the same. This country is in deep trouble in so many ways and people seem to be blind to it. I guess it’s because none of the issues have really affected their lives yet. ALL people need to focus on their own house.....not whining and crying about issues they don’t fully understand.
