    gonna have to see how it shakes out..Being as the NFL is King Sports it would be unusual to see real attendance drop, but it's certainly possible..same with merchandising.

    Of course this is bigger then the NFL- it's the grotesque display of anti-Americanism that is becoming more and more common. I reminds me of the fall of Rome into debauchery/divisivness.

    Thankfully that's not everyone: here's the money shot from yesterday.



    The news media claimed Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin kept his team in the locker room rather than have them “play politics” by kneeling or sitting during the anthem.

    In reality, the entire team was in the tunnel singing the “Star Spangled Banner”,
    right behind Steelers offensive linebacker Alejandro Villanueva, who walked out of the tunnel and stood alone with his hand over his heart.

    The 29-year-old is an Army veteran who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan.

    What you see as anti-American and "debauchery" I see as a magnificent celebration of our core values and those things that make us great as a nation.

    Think about oppressive countries who we condemn: you can't criticize the leaders, you can't criticize the government, you can't criticize the country. You have to keep your mouth shut.

    One of the most amazing things about America is that we can do all of those things, and that free expression (usually) is encouraged and exercised.

    Just one more way the SOB is dividing the nation, intentionally.....trump take the knee.jpg
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    what I'm saying is there are all kinds of venues for that.
    Of course protests are American as apple pie.
    Bu so is the Star Spangled Banner -and unlike Europe we tend to be openly patriotic.

    I've seen more and more examples however where the history of America is dumbed down to some superflous PC trash..Many people don't really think we got something "exceptional" ( non-neocon meaning) going.

    It's a pity we don't recognize how our country really has been a force for good both fighting international wars against totalitarianism,..in other worlds American values are worth preserving .worth fighting for

    Which is what I think the protestors won't see with their narrow agenda damning America..

    At my job, I probably could; at other jobs, no. But what difference does that make? If the NFL decided to act against the players on this of their own accord, it's their right. It's not really my business either way.

    Oh, you'd like a venue that wouldn't get that much attention then? Because that's what you're talking about. Why would someone who cares deeply about an issue and who has a high-profile platform to get a conversation started choose to make it low key instead of prominent?

    And what you call a "narrow agenda of damning America" I see as people who love the country but see an immense flaw or flaws with it, that they want to improve and are doing what they can toward that end. Can you imagine where we'd be if people throughout history hadn't felt that way, and kept their protest & expression as quiet as they could?

    Trump hates the NFL. We all remember the '80's and the USFL. Trump is reveling in the NFL's troubles right now.

    There is a great 30 for 30 on that.

    Trump destroyed the USFL.
