I laughed at this paragraph: "The players have plenty of support. A high school team in Seattle followed Kaepernick’s lead."... As if a team of high school students can compare to the millions of working, patriotic, respectful (and now, perhaps former NFL) football fans.

My wife turned on Sunday Night football to see the pregame.

As soon as the black power BS happened, she threw the remote over to me and said, “watch what you want”.

Mennonite colleges around here won’t play the national anthem. it’s too violent for them.
These ‘Protests’ (look at me, look at me) are so useless. Nothing will change.

Yeah followed the bug-eyed moron’s “lead” and failed to mention it was a high school girl’s volleyball team... and yes, they’re all black.

I heard on the news last week of a little league team in Beaumont, TX that is doing it, and plans to do it all season. The whole team.

I haven’t researched to see if there’s been any backlash, but I’m guessing there’s been at least some. There certainly would be if I had a child on that team or any opposing one.

Are National Anthem Protests Costing NFL Viewership?

They are in my house. I'm a lifelong Redskins fan and I skipped the Dallas-Washington game. Something I never, ever expected I'd do.

We have also tuned out of the NFL...I guess they’re too busy trying to ruin careers....spoiled, overpaid, children...(no brains.)

This whole thing is a case of theatrics, not conscience. Other athletes jumping on the wagon are doing it for the attention.

A high school team doing the knee is immitating, not leading. It is simple hero worship from a bunch of wannabes craving attention. Statistically, none of them will ever get into the NFL and after they graduate no one will remember their names either.

Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" best describes that scenario.

My team has done nothing the last 15 years, so I am nearly done with them anyway.

The whole Kaepernick thing, the commercialism, the long time needed to watch a game - has all turned me off the NFL even more.

All of this has just put me over the edge with the entire NFL.
