    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.

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:

    ^^ 1 player from 3 teams. Pretty pathetic. But at least he had the balls to do it.

    Of all day's to show their asses, it was Gold Star Mother's Day to top it off. Yet another year I will never watch or support the NFL.

    I'm really disappointed in any American who would take a knee during our Anthem.

    Anybody who would do that..........can suck a bag O dicks.

    I bet if I went to work and spoke my mind, they wouldn't be able to hold that against me, right? Maybe I'll just take a knee on the front row when the CEO starts talking at an all employee mtg. I can do that with no fear of losing my job, because it's my right.

    I've got an idea, just get rid of all penalties in the game. They're just expressing themselves, and they have a right to do it.

    NASCAR owners warn teams: Anthem protests could get you fired

    Unlike their NFL and NBA executive counterparts, NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series team owners did not support those within their organization to protest during the national anthem before Sunday's race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

    Richard Childress team owner of drivers Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon and Paul Menard and longtime car owner of Dale Earnhardt, said any protest of the anthem will "get you a ride on a Greyhound bus.”

    "Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave their lives for it. This is America," Childress, a NASCAR Hall of Famer said, via the Associated Press.

    President Donald Trump's controversial remarks Friday, calling national anthem protesters in the NFL "sons of b—" and saying they should be "fired," have sparked anger among NBA and NFL players this weekend. Trump said Sunday that standing with locked arms during the anthem is fine but kneeling is not acceptable.

    Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty and current team owner of the No. 43 Cup Series team of Aric Almirola agrees with Trump.

    “Anybody that don’t stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period. What got ’em where they’re at? The United States," Petty said, adding that any protester within his organization would be fired.

    “If they don’t appreciate where they’re at … what got them where they’re at? The United States.”

    Veteran motorsports owner Chip Ganassi said he agreed with “Mike Tomlin’s answer,” to the anthem controversy. The Steelers coach stood on the field Sunday in Chicago as the majority of his players and staff remained in the locker room.
