I don’t look to or up to 18-21 yr. old college athletes.....or professional athletes , or TOTV for that matter....for pointers on respect and patriotism. It really doesn’t bother me like some. Disrespect is on full display across this country on the daily. Other than the initial ‘shock’ from these actions or inactions, there is no boycott. Nor should there be. The NFL ratings, advertisers and interest has never been higher. The Iowa/LSU semifinal was the highest rated in women’s history. All of these athletes, amateur and pro alike are making more money than at any other point in history. And at the end of the day, we all are still watching....and directly or indirectly, by doing so...are lining all their pockets. It’s the good, bad and the ugly side of a democracy
