Yes the NFL is a business, an entertainment business,
but since they have allowed social protests at their events,
during the playing of our national anthem,
they have exposed thenselves to both criticism and praise!

You are quoting my post and I have not called anyone names.
It seems you have a grudge against someone,
but please air it on the political forum.

No grudge at all.

I have seen my flag desecrated in a far more severe way as a protest, and recently. It raised no eyebrows. I have seen recently more disrespect for my flag and our military without mention.

I have seen minor intrusions into private enterprises by government terribly chastised.

I am simply searching for the basis which is being used in this particular incident that raised the ire, when more serious incidents raised no eyebrows.

Just not sure I understand the recently discovered wrath.

In addition, as I said the anthem is not something that is normally broadcast thus I am not sure the ire at the networks since it is as it has always been.

And by he way, called nobody any names so your "implication" is not understood.
