· #1 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Not a Nielsen household but my parents are. I plan on watching it on their tv. ( They aren't there) any knee hits the ground during our national anthem, I'm done. Shut off the box and go home.

· #3 Posted February 4, 2018 Save the drama, turn it off now and go home. Pro sports are for *******. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #4 Posted February 4, 2018 Don't even turn the game on, and if there is a comment section let them know you are boycotting NFl because of the take a knee crap. You make a statement that way, not by being one of the tens of millions of sets tuned to the big game. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #5 Posted February 4, 2018 Myself, and millions of others, will be watching. I don't care if you take a knee or not. Maybe you can watch The Apprentice reruns instead? 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #6 Posted February 4, 2018 If they do take a knee (I doubt any patriots will), will Trump conduct another brazen attack on free speech. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not watched a single game, also convinced a few other people to do the same thing. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine doesn't...No MAGA gear. No Forward shirts. No Obama hats...nothing. Am I denied my free speech? The NFL players chased off a good portion of their audience because they had a message they wanted to get out. It hit the owners and advertisers in the pocketbook. Would your boss gladly take the hit if I walked into a Boston area BurgerKing, and you are there with your Hillary shirt on, and I walked out? Will that pain filter down to the players? Today might tell. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #11 Posted February 4, 2018 I was talking about Trump’s brazen attack on free speech when he called for members of a private organization to be fired over free speech actions conducted in a private setting. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #12 Posted February 4, 2018 Free speech goes both ways. Trump can exercise free speech as well. They made a public statement in a public setting for everyone to watch. They opened that can of worms. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #13 Posted February 4, 2018 It is against the NFL rules but they let it go. Put a little police or military support icon on the shoes and they enforce that. Fines etc. The bias is clear if youve been paying attention. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #14 Posted February 4, 2018 Haven't watched a game all year and will not watch the Super Bowl. IMO, there are much better ways to bring attention to a matter that is probably very close to home for a majority of NFL players and most Professional athletes in the US. I have read that a few of the Eagles players have started a foundation that is looking into the problems between the police and the black urban ghetto dwellers,and their unfair treatment and what can be done, by both parties to improve relations. I have more respect for these members of the Eagles then any of these mutts who kneel during our National Anthem, to protest something they are doing nothing "REAL" about. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #15 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I posted this thought before and someone argued these players are intelligent and could do it.. Put the kneelers in a room, no phone, no help. Have them write down why they are kneeling. Let them know it's going to be published. If they can do it, they can kneel. I'll bet 95% would say forget it. They dont want the world to see their ignorance and lack of ability to justify their actions. Edited February 4, 2018 by Buckscorider 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
