I am always surprised by the amount of people that chime in on sports threads to tell the world how much they don't follow the particular sport discussed in the topic.

I love football, especially the Broncos and all the sports that Colorado has local teams making national noise. I can not stand it that the NFL lets these players come out and draw attention to themselves during the anthem. You want to exercise some twisted application of your first amendment rights during the anthem, do it in the locker room so the paying customers are not offended. It is up to the NFL and in general, ignoring this kind of thing is good for business but I think in November when all the Pink breast cancer stuff is packed away and the camo stuff comes out, you may see a reaction finally if these bums are still trying to draw attention to themselves during the anthem.

And then there are the posters complaining about the high paid NFL players but then acting like Baseball players are in your tax bracket. NFL players are far less compensated and risk the most in terms of their health. For every Peyton Manning making $20MM a year, there are 20 guys on the roster making less than million.
