I thought the thugs were going to hide in the locker room while the Anthem was played?

Whether they do or not, I won’t watch them and haven’t watched them ever since the Browns started to kneel during a preseason game a few years ago.

I find Roller Derby much for understandable and Americanese (if that’s a word).

[Zenyatta]

One of the few things I shared with my father was watching and rooting for our NFL team. These jackals are robbing me of that tradition. It’s sad.

Rules!

💥 BOOM!! Go woke go broke! Goodbye Cowboys ...ADIOS!! Close to 87! Now tell me how Trump is losing??? This is ALL the doing of the DAMN EVIL POS RATS and patriotic flag hugging love of country Trump is DOWN??? THIS poll really should be the pulse of America .. YES WE ARE 😡 pissed! AND WE WILL GO OUT AND VOTE!!!

[TruthWillWin]

Too late, already stopped watching. Same with NBA.

[AbolishCSEU]

We spent THOUSANDS of dollars on NFL tickets in the past. Hubs is an ex-steelers fan and big fan of Jack Lambert back in the day when players did not get involved in politics. My son and DIL are still Packers fans but find the virtue signalling very distasteful.

I had high hopes because the last NFL game we attended in Pittsburgh (Packers vs Steelers) had a very pro-USA show pre and half time. But that has gone the way of the doe doe bird.

Dang. If this is a poll on that dumpster fire known as Twitter...

[katana]

We already know they intend to kneel. Have no intention of even tuning in to see. If interested, highlights of the actual game action will be readily available afterward with no commercial or stupid posturing interruptions. Time delay means “live” action isn’t live anyway. Once the advertisers realize your eyeballs aren’t there for all the money spent, they might stop funding these @$$#0<&$.

[Mariner]

This is why the networks will never show them kneeling.

[SMARTY]

We know some BM’s who won’t be watching either... and THAT’S saying something

[PapaBear3625]

There’s another thread where the players will stay in their locker rooms during the anthem.

[SaxxonWoods]

“The first game of the 2020 season is Thursday night”

With all this yakking I thought the season was half over.

If the kneeling has nothing to do with disrespecting the flag, why do they only kneel during the anthem and display of the flag?

[Migraine]

That’s about as close to unanimous as it gets these days.

[Migraine]

New name for SF team should be The SF 40 kneelers.

...or how about the Forty-Whiners?

[dfwgator]

The San Francisco Ferries.

[Joann37]

Yes, good point. We always see polls like this, and then when the ratings come out it might be like 2% not watching.

A higher percentage should not be watching, but they will. No principles.

[Joann37]

Yes – – that would be more accurate!

[luvbach1]

The NFL just won’t show National Anthem.

Bur will it show the "Black Natoinal Anthem"? Now there's an opportunity to kneel!

[Mount Athos]

you’re right, that’s not good
