We are the ones to do something. Boycott the bastards.

Florida restaurant cancels NFL package over national anthem protests!

“Beef O’Brady’s will not be financially supporting the NFL this year due to their lack of compassion and gratitude for our American service members,” the poster read. “Our National Anthem is one of the methods we as American citizens have always used to show our appreciation to all military service members, past or present, alive or dead. This tradition deserves respect and unfortunately, the NFL does not feel that same way. So, for this season, we will not be purchasing the NFL ticket. Perhaps, it will make a difference if it hits their wallets.”

Keep up the boycott.

Why do we not trash any symbol of our nation...flag, anthem, military, etc?

Do the Redskin players begin each game trashing the redskin warrior?

If not, then why not?

Because it stands for all of the people who make it up, now and through history.

When I see a Trump Twitter, in my head I see Batman hitting the bad guys ala 1966: ZAP POW

Anyone notice these dudes taking the knee at any events during the off- season?

Just have President Trump stage a photo op with a group of disabled combat vets (WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan) showing respect for the anthem and flag and get that photo op as well as the clip of the US Marines raising the flag on Mount Suribachi on Twitter.

Make the NFL sponsor corporations defend the overgrown spoiled NFL brats.

Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA

Q is real

This is a fight the overpaid FL players are not going to win. Hint: look what happened to NFL TV ratings and ticket sales last year when they got into a fight with Donald Trump.

More proof the leftism is a mental disease. It results in irrational thinking, destructive behaviour, lashing out at misconceived threats, alienating friends. And they tend to destroy the lives of those around them in the process.

Looks like I'm going into my THIRD year of not watching the NFL. My guitar will continue to get more attention than it did before the NFL players got terminally stupid.

They reinforce my decision to stop watching NFL games.

It doesn't matter; the league has jumped the shark and will never return to its former prominence.

In other news, the Rays beat the Orioles 5/4, the sixth one-run game in a row for the Tampa Bay team. The Rays are keeping just above .500 with a collection of rookies and a smidgen of veterans, along with practically no pitching, but a team that looks like it will rise up in time to have the playoffs in its new stadium. And everyone in the stadium respected the national anthem.

That other Tampa Bay team? I hear they did something last night with some other team that disrespected the national anthem, but it's Friday and I have to pick up some fried fish for lunch, so maybe someone else can check into that.

I detest the NFL, it’s players and owners. I am done.

Only when we turn off our TV's. The Left eats our lunch when it comes to "protests" and activism, we need a national movement and this is a good place to start. It's easy, if they don't love our country then we turn off the TV.

We hear pretty much hate the NFL however Trump is still doing this to provide a laser pointer for the media to chase around if they get distracted by if he gets tons of work done in the background.

If we don’t watch... provided we are a Neilsen Family.. then networks cannot charge as much for ads.

My bet is they cannot do much without making it worse. So it look like another NFL season where I will refuse to watch the teams...I know it is my choice as a way to protest. You have your way. I cannot think of a better way to protest.

Won’t watch them and change the channel whenever there’s any NFL news or games. They can go to Holy Hell.

These multimillionaire ungrateful crybabies want to put it in my face? Nope, I'm not playing that game (or watching). The college games are much more exciting, anyway.

Add another 9 hours per week of more productive activity during NFL season.
(3 games)
