Dave I understand how you feel. Also I understand how the NFL business model suffers loss of revenues $$$$ when their audiences decline. So folks are certainly able to get their message across by not tuning in.
But consider that passive symbolism and peaceful ways of the players voicing their views are surely better than behaviors like marching in the streets. So I'm hopeful that football is not going to take this to any higher levels. Such street marching so very easily crosses over into worse behaviors. And so long as their political activities are not occurring on the field of play, that's another thing i hope continues. Dave, thanks for joining in this discussion. Tom |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Tom, By watching them you are supporting their positions that basically tells us we are all racists and they can disrespect our national anthem (kneeling, staying in locker room, fist raised, etc.) and all that our flag represents - unity, freedom, and one of the greatest countries the world has ever seen. Yet, players are now trying to replace it with a BLM's theme song - standing for it, and, kneeling when anthem is played. Goodbye NFL, goodbye Eagles! The only way it can change is if enough people boycott NFL, their products, games and sponsors so they will understand politics need to be kept out of sports and let them protest on their own time and where they live. Anyone who had or has a job would have been fired if they engaged in politics (protests, etc.) at their workplace for work disruption of the company. The NFL is now letting the inmates run the asylum. This is another indoctrination attempt to change our society norms and indirectly influence this upcoming election. Again, just my opinion! Dave |
