When every announcer says "please stand and remove your hat" prior to the song. That's when.

It's nice to see so many of us are turning our backs on the NFL
They (the players) have given nothing back to this country for the life and freedom that they enjoy on a daily basis. To the few of you entertainers who have served your country and spent time far away from home, you like us, realize the value of freedom and truly appreciate it It truly makes me sick, as a combat Veteran, when I think about all of the tens of thousands of men and women who have given up so much, including their lives, and their dreams so that these entertainers can protest on National TV. |

I sorta get the purple cleat thing -- purple not exactly a Steeler color. BUT since they allowed it once, then they should continue allowing it throughout the season. Either allow support for NFL -approved causes throughout the season or not at all.

I'm assuming when the National Anthem was played on TV all those at home stood at attention? just wondering.

I got this message from a buddy up north. The specific ruling pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the NFL League Rulebook. It's to long to quote, but check it out its without question and very direct.

Me too. I have to check the scores for various reasons and like watching the final few minutes of many sports programs.

This was a non-issue, totally yesterdays news until it was used to fan unnecessary division in the country. To call people SOBs is uncalled for and dehumanizes them. I have never watched a lot of NFL games. I follow some teams of players I saw play in college that I liked, and I will continue to do so. I don't believe the various things the players are doing are disrespectful. I thought Colin Kapernick wearing pig socks was disrespectful.

but there a whole lot of great white men and women that have done very positive things for our country, and all of its people! And it is not a matter of race unless you are narrow minded to make it so, it is simply factual! |

that not liking the chosen venue of the protesters makes one a racist, that is quite over the top! |

I'm a huge NFL fan but the past 2 years have been ridiculous! I refuse to watch or go to any games until the NFL/owners can man up and demand respect! And to hear on the news a discussion on what will be done if high school players decide to do the same is absolutely unbelievable.
