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:
If you did your research, you’d actually know what their protesting.
ABC has a lot of money to lose in advertising.
There is. If you would have actually seen the full Kaepernick interview, and not just right wing edits and sound bytes, you would ha e heard the part where he supports the troops.
How come none of you boycotted the NFL when it was recealed that the teams do not take part in patriotic pre-game ceremonies unless the pentagon pays them?
ESPN can go to hell
We need to find these traitors and kill them.
See how they feel whemn they are on the unemployment line
This is NOT freedom of speech. This is disrespectful of the United States Flag Code. Go ahead though, continue to show every Soldier who has fought, sacrificed and died for YOUR FREEDOM that you care more about a fictional issue than about their sacrifice that they continue to make. This the wrong platform for bringing attention to your cause.
Ban NFL
They are a bunch of liberal no taltn[][
Boycott football overpaid idiots
