With the return of professional football’s regular season, we have a return to the turmoil and debate that has been injected into the game over protests staged by some players during the singing of our National Anthem.
To broaden the topic for a moment, perhaps we should not be surprised. We live in a time when divisive political ideology has infected most every area of our lives. We see it in religion, education, finances, entertainment, and even in our choice of the foods we consume. As a society it has come to the point where there is little left that a person can do that isn’t interpreted by some group as a political statement. This is a recipe for a society descending into turmoil with all the implications that involves.
Move on to page 2:
They are nobodies wanting attention at the expense of the rest of the team…….
I dropped ESPN
maybe its time to turn ESPN off.
It is divisive and un patriotic.
The players are overpaid stupid kids…
Coming from blacks who earn millions and millions of dollars a year just to carry a ball and run back and forth. They can always move some place else if they don’t like the US. No one is stopping them.
its a disgusting thing.
I agree Connie I am not either 49 won’t win super bowl for long time
No NFL at my house !
99 percent of all football players stand for the National Anthem.
