I’m pretty sure I won’t be watching any games again this year.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. The least they can do is honor the military and taxpayers that make their institution (that most of the players don’t belong academically) possible.

I was a college assistant coach for several years way back and I can tell you I never, never saw any player on our teams that disrespected the flag, the National Anthem, or our military in any way...In fact, one of my former players retired as a Colonel in the Air Force...

But thanks for posting. Others can look if they wish

Where did you coach, if I may ask? I fear it wouldn’t be the same today, I mean the NFL players got their attitudes somewhere. I still remember the “F!@# Trump” guy at the Championship game a couple years ago.

Sort of ironic that, what with the Soros-backed DA in Philly now, Mill just had his previous conviction on parole and weapons violations reversed - lefties all over the city were protesting the unfair way he was being treated by the previous judge on the case, who was weird enough to believe that the law meant what it said and Mill should pay the price for what he had been found guilty of by spending some time in jail - turns out outrage about possession of illegal weapons is intended only for conservatives who commit the offense - libs with illegal arms don’t count - just look at Chicago......

You were fortunate. You coached at the level where most of the players are real students. I feel small college sports still represent what college sports should be. The NFL and NBA need legitimate minor leagues like baseball and hockey and quit mooching from the taxpayers at public institutions.

Bump. Slightly off topic, how do you pronounce Oeriod? Is it Oh-eh-royd or ear-royd?

Depressing. I loved football. I watched starting in the early 80s up to about 2005 when they started becoming thugball. Gone were the days of Walter Peyton, Joe Montana, et al I started seeing the ratio of blacks over whites (appx 75%) as well. I did watch superbowls after that but overall, stopped.

I was hoping that the xfl would give the nfl a run for their money but it turns out that the XFL won't begin until after the NFL superbowl. There must have been a 'deal'/agreement' made regarding their opening. Disgusting.

Introduced as rapper and Criminal Justice reform advocate or some nonsense.

Trump is the only guy who’s actually done something on criminal justice and all the advocates despise him while producing nothing (except from inside the Kardashian household where they actually engaged and got things done, unbelievably enough).

LOL on your link.

Look up in You Tube “Lays Commercial Soccer”. I saw it on TV and couldn’t believe it. Sad.
