Goodall and the NFL can put up with their players showing disrespect for our country and its flag.

But the fans can also get up a leave to show their disrespect for the NFL and their bone-headed policies.

I was an athlete in school but never have been a sports fan.

But if I was an NFL fan, I wouldn't be anymore with the political crap that they encourage.

People go to sporting events for entertainment and to get away from the drudgery of their lives.

They don't want to be subjected to the players' personal politics on display on the field.

Good for Trump in suggesting that the fans leave the stadiums when these un-American displays are allowed to interrupt the event.

The NFL will rue the day they did not put a stop to this behavior by their players.

***************

Good comments overall, but particularly this one.

People used to look forward to a few hours of relaxation and got their minds off of work and other problems by focusing on the contest, the skills of the players, and perhaps most importantly, the pleasure of being a couch coach. I mean, who didn’t enjoy second guessing every play and key moments in the game?

But now, the escapism once offered by the sport is gone. Its become politicized, like everything else.
