Title.

Add your thoughts, please.

This may need to be moved to the political board, but I think this should remain here unless it gets too political. The reason I post it here is because I want to get the feedback of NFL fans, not those who focus on politics. I feel I'd get a different result if I just posted it on the politics forum.

My personal thoughts: I will always stand for the national anthem. I always do my best to ensure I'm inside the stadium when it is being played, simply because I love showing my respect for my country. I don't care what players feel, they are on the field to provide entertainment, not political commentary. Therefore, I don't give a shit about how they feel about social justice issues. I feel like by boycotting the NFL, I'd be letting my political beliefs interfere with something that I enjoy watching.

I'm just curious if this is seriously impacting everyone's interest in the NFL.

No, and you're a nonce if you do so for that instead of the good ole boy networks stinking up the coaching in this league; which actually do make the product crappier.

I said yes, but not sure if it is what I need to vote for.

It is not the players kneeling that bothers me. It is the TV coverage of it. The less they talk about it, the more I watch.

Isn't "no" the same as "same as before" in this situation?

Of course not. Anyone answering otherwise should peel their dick with a cheese grater, because it’s just that retarded.
