    They won't, Linda. When you see the millionaire crybabies only protesting during the games, but not doing anything after they're not on TV, not donating their millions or even donating their time, you know it's a waste. Pathetic. And even being a big NY Giants fan, I haven't watched a game since this bullshit started.

      Me either. The SEC holds enough excitement down here, but I will miss watching those pro plays that look impossible to pull off that you only get in pro games. Oh well, some things are more important.
    • Archie Bunker
      Yes their are. Instead of watching NFL yesterday, I spent the rainy day watching Fixer Upper.
    • Linda Joy
      I've been watching episodes of Chuck online again. I loved that show! I may watch Firefly next.
    • Archie Bunker
      Eh. I never watched either of those. I'm a big fan of the Planet Earth and Blue Planets series. I could watch those over and over.

    Of course, it’s equal and fair. In fact, I think it’s not equal and fair for the NFL not charging the veterans for wasting their time. Equal opportunity does not mean idiots who do not know the rules are heard (or even equal) to those who follow the rules. The Flag Code states clearly there is no violation by the NFL. It’s the Trumptards and veterans who are politicising this matter, the snowflakes need to get their act together as there are more pressing matters to be arguing about.

      Yes, Nike is allowed to do as they wish. So are the TV networks and the NFL. But we all have the right to shut the TV off and not buy their shit. And I believe it was Kapernick who politicized this matter. And most of us can argue about more than one thing at a time.
    • Linda Joy
      You're lying and you know it! But thanks for being you. If you were actually ever nice I'd wonder who hacked your account. The ones kneeling are the ones not following the rules. And yes it was Kapernick that started the disrespecting of our flag and just about sunk the NFL when they sided with him. I am thankful that they're finally putting a stop to that and using a more logical and less offensive route. If any of these rich people ever actually gave a crap and were doing stuff off the field it would be a different story entirely.

      "Here's what the game operations manual says regarding the national anthem, according to an NFL spokesperson: The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses."

      These players are not earning their paychecks. And how can they say there is oppression and lack of "equal opportunity" when they are there on the field with the opportunity to play in the NFL and be rich?
    • Archie Bunker
      Professional sports has made more blacks millionaires than any other industry. But I guess they forget that part.
    • Linda Joy
      And it could only have been done in America! Hypocrites!

    This is an old question, judging by the answers from people who are no longer with us. I think the NFL pays for the commercial time on TV and they can put forth whatever message they are trying to sell as long as it's legal. It's up to the people receiving those messages to accept or reject their points of view. Enough rejection will bring about changes. Refer to Bud light controversy. 1/25/24
