Money talks. If you don't agree with the player's protests, vote with your checkbook. Money is the only thing that matters to these sponsors, and their money, and the monies from ticket sales, is the only thing that matters to the NFL. Changing it won't happen immediately, but it could be done.

As for me, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".

I ditched the NBA and the NFL last year....they'll never get another dime of my money. I hear a lot of folks bailing on the NFL cable packages too.

Maybe these overpaid athletes ought to place the blame for racial oppression where it belongs rather than turning their backs on the American flag:

Football is nothing but an outright obsession for WAY too many people in this country. Nothing but good can come from some time away from it while they get their heads out of their rears.

As usual what was in fact the intent has been blanketed with BS by a particularly unknowing and misguided segment of (I hesitate to use the term) society that is NOT what the protest was about. And that was covered by every news agency in the world a few mo ago.
Good to know that so many here are actually aware of what is happening in the world and are so thoroughly cognizant of the concepts embodied in the Constitution and it's Amendments. Ever wonder why that one was NUMBER ONE?

Because it's the most critical, the most fragile, and usually....the first one lost as liberty is stripped away. Once it is lost, all the rest fall away as well.

If you want to watch professional athletes who respect the flag, the anthem, America, and bleed patriotism from every pore perform, go support a rodeo.
Cowboys stand for the flag and the anthem and kneel for the cross.
None of the prima dona "oppressed" NFL players would last 8 seconds in a rodeo arena in any event.....neither would NBA players.

I haven't watched the NFL for decades now, well since the eighties when they changed all the rules for passing and the quarterback sissies.

I watch the Steelers that's it, but I watch every college game. I believe the President is right about calling these guys out.

It's a smokescreen generated in anticipation of failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act and loss given by voters in Alabama to candidate he was endorsing. The focus should be on helping people deal with damage and loss in Tx, Fl, Puerto Rico......

He can't repeal Obamacare alone, he needs a bill to sign. A bill the Republicans said they had for the last 7 years.
