Not knocking you but I see that as a defeatest, retreating attitude. I grew up watching pro football and refuse to let liberals ruin it. If it were up to them they would shut it down and you are helping them. The NFL just needs to be reminded who pays their bills. It ain't liberals!Originally Posted by Bailey Guns
Admire the effort but ypu are playing right into their hands.
Or...and I know this may sound crazy...but football just does nothing for me.
I haven't paid attention to football since the days of Roger Staubach...when I was a LOT younger. I have more important things to do now than waste time watching football. YMMV. The fact that entire teams are now refusing to come on to the field during the national anthem just reinforces my opinion that football does absolutely nothing to enrich my life. Again, YMMV.
So if the NFL was no more, my life wouldn't change in the slightest. I couldn't care less. If that's a "win" for liberals, so be it.

I can respect that, to each his own...
Speaking of the entire team coming out, it was not the entire team actually. One guy a former Army Ranger came out on his own:

Hat is off to Alejandro Villanueva!
Almost makes me wish I had Sunday Ticket just so I could cancel it. Almost.

... and now the head coach is frothing at the mouth because one team member felt it was more important to honor the flag and the country he risked his life for than to support politically correct but ignorant ideology instead of wondering why his team got beat handily.
"Not knocking you but I see that as a defeatest, retreating attitude."
Let's see if I have this correct...So, you're not knocking him...but you say he has a defeatest, retreating attitude. Nope, you're knocking him. You know, for having a defeatest, (BTW, it's "defeatist", with an "i") attitude. I'm not the grammar police, but then, I'm not the one splitting hairs, here.
Frankly, I agree with him. I have opinions I can't share with my employer's clients. I'm on their time, wearing their uniform, such as it is, and their reaction to my opinion may, probably would, affect their standing with said clients. Not the proper venue. On my time, sure, no problem, their time, at their venue, an opinion that likely will negatively affect their bottom line, it's not a "free speech" issue.

Here is a list of sponsors from today's Broncos game. While virtually impossible to boycott them all, you can write them on social media with something along these lines:
This American is boycotting your products as long as you support the NFL that allows employees to disrespect the national anthem.
Southwest
Geico
Verizon
Taco bell
Buffalo wild wings
Energizer
Pizzahut
Car gurus
Apple
Hyundai
Progressive
Sonic
Home depot
Pepsi
Priceline
Mercedes
Modelo
Chantix
Snickers
Dickies
Corona
Dominoes
Lowes
Jaguar
AARP
Cricket
Quicken loans
Bud light
Smashburger
Autonation
Old spice
Sony
FedEx
Toyota
Lincoln
That's a helpful list.
Most of those companies will never see a dime of my money. GEICO, Verizon and Home Depot see a fair share. I'll drop them a note.
ETA: BTW...I don't do social media, either. FB, Twitter and all that ranks right up there with the NFL to me. This site is as close as I come to social media.

Outside of driving a yota and having verizon for a phone, we don't use any of the above companies products. We don't watch American football, or any other sport
