No offense taken. I served this country, have had friends die for this country, and defended our right to peaceful protest. But, to disrespect the very fiber of our rights, is an abomination of these rights. Believe what you want, but protest with a vote, or some respectful way to try to make change, but this jerk had no real moral battle.

This is a country of freedoms, opportunity, and rights. For all of us. Defend it, respect it, honor it, because anything else is unacceptable.

We may have served to give you the right to protest but do it on your own dime and not when paying fans are there to see a game. People pay good money to go to the game and get away from everyday BS.

Thank you for your service. While I didn't serve (unfortunately), many in my family have. One person's disrespect is another person's protest. I don't like it either. I don't see how or where we can draw the line on what is appropriate. Our freedoms extend to the point that we're not protected from being offended by others exercising their rights.

While I don't really watch football any longer, I am a fan of Green Bay because of their ownership model. I would like to be a partial owner of my local pro team.
 
Football is boring and always has been. Even worse with the new rule changes.
 
I just hope all these disgruntled football fans don't become hockey fans. What ruined it for me a long time ago was all the 'fans' who began following it because it was the cool thing to do. I don't begrudge them the enjoyment. But the shallowness of their understanding of the sport made it more about the party than the game. I would just rather not see hockey go down the same path.

I think the hockey ownership sees it different from me though. So, I'm not optimistic.
 
I think some need to understand the the injustices in this country will go on until someone stands up and does something about it. Kapernick was told by a person serving in the military to kneel and he cannot be kicked out of the country or should not be fired for his actions. People like John Lewis were beaten almost to death standing up for things to be changed and it should be noted it made the United States a better place by creating change

I think people should stop complaining and see how some others have it. For example in the Nike Commercial, the kid had no legs and still could wrestle. Another had a hijab and was an athlete in a time where arabs are often mistreated in this country. While im not a fan of Nike for so much outsourcing I am a fan for them showing what it means to be better.
 
I thought the players had a boss the team owner and if the boss said no kneeling than you follow the rules. The way it's going we are going to have touch or flag football.

Here are, basically, my feelings:


****************************************

”I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live
here in this country...
:
:
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.


Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, hoss,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.”

(Lyrics From: “The Fightin' Side of Me"
~Merle Haggard & the Strangers; ca. 1970)

One of my favorite Haggard tunes and a good way to some up my feelings as well,,peacful protest are ok with me (even Kap) but if I ever see some joker burning or standing on an American Flag they'll wish they hadn't.

The freedom of speech protects you from the government not from me.
