Another effort to dumb down our America :-(

That's okay. NASCAR still shows it. So does the NHL for the U.S. and Canada. If there going to kneel again this year. I won't be watching. Maybe if everyone at the stadiums just got up and walked out, and they played the games in empty stadiums, the NFL would change their policy. You Kneel, We Walk.

Thanks grwurston that's a capitol idea-

Boycotting has been proven an effective tool since the American Revolution

I support the athletes because I know why they are protesting. I will watch as many football games as I can. Politics aside, I just love football. Those that plan to boycott {seriously}probably don't like football anyway. SMH

I could care less about football and the players.

If the players decided not to play lets see how far the nfl would go!!

It will be their worst season for ratings, and the America haters hate football, it is a too macho American pastime so they are killing it at all costs. The players are f'ing themselves because they have been brain washed into believing they are consequential to some end they don't even know or understand.

No problem.

The NFL is not viewed here.

Don't get me wrong. I like football and I understand why they are protesting. However, when you play a game in a foreign country and you can stand and show the proper respect when that country's anthem is played, but you can't/won't stand and show respect when they play your own country's anthem, then you are crossing the line.
Doing it this way is not gaining any sympathy toward their cause. There are better ways to get the message across. Take out a full page ad in the newspapers, do a P.S.A., or an infomercial. Go on the radio / TV talk show circuit. Or even sit down and talk with the police about it to try to fix the situation.
When you want to renew your contract, you don't protest and wave signs around saying I want whatever. You sit down with the other side (owners), and work things out and come to an agreement. The same thing applies here. What do you want to do? Do you just want to keep on protesting, or do you want to solve the problem?

^ This X 10!

Dak Prescott, QB of the Cowboys, took a lot of heat for saying he would not kneel and that it wasn't the time nor the place to protest.

The people in foreign countries knows more about what athletes are protesting about than some Americans. That is why they get so pissed with our government when the US try to lecture them about human rights. The US has lost Moral standing on the world stage.
