Telling the vets at BoA they can salute during the National Anthem is something I have not seen at the stadiums I've visited.

 

As a Vet, I take advantage of this invitation every home game I attend and more times than not strangers around me let it be known they appreciate the service.  Our fans are very classy.

Very proud we will be the first to wear the Purple Heart on our helmets.

 

KEEP POUNDING.

As someone who is currently serving, I can not be more proud of the football organization that I have loved through thick and thin for almost my entire life. And to be the first in the NFL to make this step just shows how professional the entire organization is from top to bottom.

Recent media attention is nice, but THAT is recognition that actually means something.  True class on both sides here.  Too bad those pre-game activities don't include an adrenaline inducing low level fighter flyover anymore...thanks to that CF in DC, to whom I say, get your act together and work TOGETHER toward the common good of the people, not your own agenda or corporate special interest groups.  Free up some more money for the military and let them thrill us again with demonstrations, getting some great PR in the process, and thereby defend this country more effectively as a result of garnering greater support.  In other words, try making us as proud of you as we are of the men and women who risk their lives daily to serve this great country.  You serve us too you know.

My grandad spent the last few years of his life at the VA home in Salisbury. Every Sunday, all the TV's there were playing football games. A good number of the guys there were lifelong fans of other teams, but all of them have soft spots for the Panthers because of how they try to honor folks in service. Hope they show a little of the ceremony on TV, I know those guys would appreciate it.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
