Anyone else fed up with the NFL?

I heard a blurb on the radio saying that it's about gender pay gap or some crap now. Morons.

So male football players are getting paid more than female football players?

I haven't heard, did all the players stand yesterday or are they still protesting "something" of which no one really knows what that "something" is. And there lies the problem for them, last I had heard several players seemed to have a different answer to the "why" part, and since they've lost any resemblance of unity across the players for the reason, they've lost all validity in my view. I simply will not watch another NFL game until they all decide to stand. If that time never comes, screw em.

None of the games on TV showed the anthem at all and there was no discussion of it by the play by play guys.

I never would have thought grown men would love kneeling so much. Snicker snicker

Cant wait to see how the NBA tries to outdo the NFL...self immolation on the court during the anthem? That would be cool.

I might actually turn on an NBA game for the first time in my life for that!

My guess is MLB NBA and NHL will probably not pull what NFL did. Those 3 sports have 2 countries participated.

It will look real stupid to see some player Keeling down on US National anthem, but stand back up for Canadian national anthem.

As a respect, I cannot personally kneel down on ANY national anthem (even countries we dislike) in sports venue as a participant of sports. It is just non-sportsman like.

Roofers in Maine stop work to respect national anthem, flag

Three Maine roofers put their hammers down and stood up to show respect for the national anthem on Saturday, in the process unknowingly posing for a photo that's been used to symbolize one side of the contentious nationwide debate about "The Star-Spangled Banner."

The roofers, who were working near Waterville High School’s football field, stood for the national anthem “even though they didn’t have to,” Michelle Lyons Cossar, the Old Town resident who snapped the photo, told Fox News on Monday.

While Cossar was standing for the anthem prior to the start of Saturday’s game, she said she heard someone in the stands point out the workers had also risen.

“When I looked over the fence, I saw them standing and respecting the flag,” she said.

That’s when she decided to take a picture.

“I just thought the world could use a little more of that right now,” she added.

Cossar’s photo has been shared nearly 600 times as of Monday afternoon.

The three men in the photo are Dwayne Harrison, Danny Thyng and James Scruggs, according to Cossar. The trio didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Shanon Gurski Dixon, a resident of Waterville, shared the Cossar’s picture to her Facebook page. She told Fox News she hopes to one day find and thank the men for “being such good role models to our youth.”

It's OK. The NFL circulated a memo declaring that attendance and ratings are only down because of the election outcome...



In a way, I guess they're right.
