People today do not understand what freedom of speech actually means. Freedom of speech does not come with the freedom of consequence. I just wish these owners had the balls to impose said consequences.

This may piss several people off, but I blame all of this crap on the fans. They are the one who have placed these entertainers on a pedestal for so long that they actually believe everybody gives two $h!+s about their political views or what offends them.

BINGO! This country put itself down this path when it started idolizing athletes.

If any of us tried this at our place of work, we would most likely be fired. But the thing is: the owners don't care, because as long as they are making money, this will go on.

No more NFL for me

swampman46 09-26-2017 07:26 AM

These players now have egos so big, that they see themselves high on a pedestal, and everyone else is far below. I remember a time when a player made a good play on the field, and walking back to the line. Today's players make a good play and immediately make an exhibition to draw attention to "themselves". Basically saying, "This was all me-look what I just did." When in actuality, yeah, you did your job. You did what you're paid to do. These players don't know the meaning of the words humble, thankful, appreciative, and most of all...grateful, for the opportunity.

they are protesting Trump..... but this is also exactly why Trump won. People are tired of this!!

DeeCee 09-26-2017 08:01 AM

I'm done with the NFL

H2OFwlKlr 09-26-2017 01:07 PM

Ditto, agree with you all, won't even rant.


Broke it to my 13 yo son, no NFL in this home again!


NO Anheuser Busch, Ford, Under Armor, Pepsi, and never did McDonald's anyway.


Just because you make millions of $ does not make you smart!!!!!!!!


I feel the crunch won't be felt this year by owners because fans have already bought their season tickets, but if this keeps up I bet those season ticket holders would gladly prefer to spend a few grand on something else, I pray they do.

The athletes just like the Hollywood crowd, just don't understand. They are all puppets paid well to entertain us. We really don't want to see or hear about your political views. Nor do we care. You are puppets paid to dance, ST FU ,get off your knees and dance.

mriguy 09-26-2017 03:07 PM

Don't like it but certainly respect their right to do it. Absolutely the wrong place for it.
I don't agree with the sentiment that they are over paid. Nobody, no matter the job is "over paid". Market dictates wages in a capitalist system. Can't have it both ways.

No one is forced to watch the NFL, if ratings continue a downward trend, TV money goes down as will owner revenue and player salary.

NCAAFB>NFL

These players believe they're untouchable. It's very obvious. Just after they loosened restrictions on end zone celebrations...look at the spectacle Odel Beckham made of himself on Sunday in the end zone. Many of these players(not all), feel untouchable and not accountable for what they do. This is all on the owners to stop it.

Im going to check in by the end of the season and see who held true to their "no NFL" pledge. I have a feeling I'll be disappointed. If anybody needs something to keep them away from the TV on Sunday, y'all can come help me build fence. :work:

My post from my Facebook page:

My son in law (a Bossier kid, who I am extremely proud of), and father of my granddaughter, has 10 years with the 101st Airborne Air Assault Rakkasans (the most deployed Brigade in US Army history) - He has proudly served 4 govt paid vacations to Afghanistan and waiting on tickets for the 5th any day. Walk a mile in his boots through the blood of his brothers, and after you’ve served, if you still want to kneel during our countries National Anthem, go ahead, you’ve earned that right. But until then, I take it personally as blatant disrespect for him and his Brothers, and the entire NFL can kiss my Merica loving Patriotic Arse!!!!!

What's y'all's thoughts
 
Can someone help me understand Whats the difference btw the player not standing or kneeling......... AND

the people at home watching the game..who sitting on their sofa or people sitting down at the bar...........

what makes the players wrong and the person sitting at their house,bar, right?

Who get a pass and who doesnt.

If you stand up at your house for the national anthem and hold your hand on your heart every monday and sunday sometimes thursdays games. Please say i. That way we know you are not being disrespectful to the flag?

If you dont stand up then what are you saying about yourself......

Are you boycotting your friends that sitting down during the anthem at you house.

Ill wait. This should be good
