Time to ban the NFL

Kaos · « **on:** January 23, 2018, 08:07:03 AM »

I already had a problem with the gutless stance the league took toward those who knelt for our national anthem. Found the support of Worthless Cumperdink disgusting. Sickened by the fact that when the league played in foreign countries, the league encouraged/required players to stand for the Mexican and British anthems.

Now it's gone too far. A veterans group purchased an ad in the Super Bowl program. This was the content:

The NFL rejected this ad as "too political."

This is too political, but it's fine for some overpaid, under-educated twat waffle to take a knee in a blatant show of disrespect for the country that provides them the opportunity to make that living?

I havenâ€™t watched a single game or even quarter. Maybe a play in passing at a restaurant but I havenâ€™t missed it at all.

Was never a jersey buying type of fan. Only been to 1 game in my life. Hated it. Hate it more now.

To each their own. I donâ€™t begrudge anyone who likes it. But the kneeling is precisely the reason I donâ€™t plan to ever support it again.

Will consciously avoid advertisers when I can. And it will do nothing but make me feel better.

And thatâ€™s fine.

I sort of miss the Panthers. Cam was fun to watch -- when he was having fun.

That seemed to be less and less frequently though.

I don't miss it enough to watch it. But I'll keep my Cam jersey. And my Cam socks. And my Cam shoes. The orange and blue CN1s will be part of my game-day attire in 2018.

One of the NBC execs said if any players kneel during the anthem at the Super Bowl, they will make it a point to show it.

You guys know I made it about half way through the season before I started checking it out again. Part of that was because it seemed, to me anyway, that the whole subject had pretty much gone away. They weren't showing the kneelers and it certainly wasn't being discussed. Again, not that I heard or saw anyway. This is just an assumption on my part, but I would imagine the overwhelming majority of players in the NFL wish that whole thing never got started. You can't say it without getting black-balled. (No pun....well, maybe a little pun intended) I think most would rather do without the distraction or have to cover up their true feelings and act like they give a shit.

However, on the Veteran's commercial dealio, if they want to hit where it hurts, use the money raised for air time during the SB and run 10X the ads saying "I won't watch, because I respect the flag and my country." No doubt, you'd get quite the movement of people refusing to watch it.

Just a little fyi...forced patriotism isn't patriotism.

Funny how some here have such a huge problem with people utilizing their freedom, by kneeling, saying it's disrespectful to the military (it isn't)...but yet, have no problem when their Senate leader refuses to pay the military during a Government shutdown. Sad!

All of this except I've never been to a game.

I apologize for the poor quality, but I'm in there somewhere. Oh yea, #FUCKTHENFL!

I watch it. I donâ€™t agree with the players that kneel. I donâ€™t agree with the NFL decision about the SuperBowl ad. Dumb on that for turning down money but whatever. Itâ€™s not to my convictions yet to turn it off.

Dilly Dilly.

If my senator voted for illegals over citizens I would never vote for him or her again

I must have missed it but who are the â€œsomeâ€ here that has no problem with the military not being paid?

He also missed the point. Again.

No one wants to force anyone to do anything. K is pointing out the hypocrisy of the NFL and their "policies".

He's right. HIS senate leadership threatened a filibuster causing a shutdown thus putting illegals over military. And he's proud of it.

E'rrbody needs to calm it on the "TROOPS AIN'T GOIN GET PAID" business though. They were shutdown for 69 hours. And every bank issued statements that they would honor pay to military while the government worked out the details. So, they were gonna get paid. Pay attention to the real issue, folks. The number of officials who threatened VIOLENCE against Trump in the election cycle. That includes your FBI director, special prosecutor, and, yes, HERLIRY!

Sorry for inappropriate use of the word "kneeler"!

Calling those folks kneelers is giving the $20 whores a bad name.
