Monday Night Football Poll
 
If you are specifically tuning out Monday Night Football tonight (9/25) because of the player protests please reply.

I certainly am!!!

I tuned out the 49's after the first one and I will not watch any other game until the players show the respect for our flag and country that they should. Our country is free because of lots of brave people who gave their life to allow them the freedom to play football and earn the mega bucks they do.

I served in south east Asia during Vietnam and was spit on by the public when I returned in uniform. I didn't accept the disrespect then and I will not now. Since then I have never watched anything with Jane Fonda and never will. Don't think I missed much. And if the football ratings plummet as they should, maybe these idiots will realize they need the viewing public or their paychecks will also plummet. I am probably in the minority with this opinion but so be it.

Tuning out completely, after last season I throttled down my NFL watching, now I'm out completely. Funny thing was I actually enjoyed my sundays not being tied to the tv and enjoying other activities. It's not the end all the NFL thinks it is to many of us.

SFSkol 09-25-2017 10:56 AM

I sure am watching. I've got $50.00 riding on it! (SARCASM INTENDED)

New Englander 09-25-2017 10:58 AM

Another veteran here. USAF 1969/1973. This kneeling when our national anthem is playing is just down right WRONG. It's a disgrace. I'm tuning out.

CWGUY 09-25-2017 10:59 AM

:BigApplause: Tuning out.

Vietnam 68-69 USMC

dewilson58 09-25-2017 11:01 AM

That say's it all. I couldn't agree more. Great call Mr Chatbrat. :clap2:

We have a couple of hot pennant and wild card races going on in MLB. And remember.....baseball is America's pastime.

Currently driving MB number 12 and just let them know it will be the last if they continue to sponsor the NFL. Great suggestion Chatbrat.

Chatbrat 09-25-2017 12:16 PM

Give them a call , have to navigate a few #'s , but you will get a live person pass this on to every corp who sponsors the NFL, call your dealer , too

CWGUY 09-25-2017 12:31 PM

:read:NFL Players Inc. - Sponsors
Can someone come up with a more detailed list or more detailed info.?

Absolutely!

mokey 09-25-2017 02:56 PM

I'm out too. US Army 1966=1969

REDCART 09-25-2017 02:57 PM

Hope the rest of the country follows suit, and boycotts the NFL for their lack of leadership. The players are or should be America first,

Aloha1 09-25-2017 02:58 PM

Free Americans never bow or kneel in submission to anyone or any thing except the Almighty. Free Americans understand where their freedom comes from and the price paid by their brothers and sisters to hold that freedom. Free Americans are grateful to be living in a country that allows them to challenge the fates and achieve anything they can. Free Americans do not whine about "conditions" but put their backs into it to make things better. Free Americans do not care whether one is pink, yellow, brown,copper, black, or any shade in between because Free Americans measure a person by their words and deeds and not some stupidity thought up by bureaucratic government.

Until I see my fellow Free Americans in the NFL stand up and show RESPECT for our Nation and all it stands for , There will be no NFL in this house.

Fredster 09-25-2017 02:59 PM

Not watching tonight or in the future, until the nonsense stops!
US Army 1963-1969

rubicon 09-25-2017 03:01 PM

What we are witnessing is another casualty of identity politics. Politics does not mix well with sports because the purpose of sports is competition ,sportsmanlike conduct and unity. The NFL and many NFL are on the wrong side of this issue and they will pay for that mistake

Personal Best Regards:

MACH7SS 09-25-2017 03:37 PM

Tuned out already.
USCG 1969-1973

daverobertson2000 09-25-2017 03:42 PM

Villager part time and new yorker part time. I will not support the NFL on this and i wish more new yorkers felt the way the villagers feel

Bonnevie 09-25-2017 05:24 PM

should be easy to find seating to watch the Super Bowl based on the answers. Somehow, I suspect the troops overseas will watch it.

No more NFL for me - thinking of watching NASCAR instead from now on. I guess Saturday College Football will have to sustain me.

Thank you for you service first and foremost: I don't watch foot ball so I don't tune in But I did call my ex-husband and asked his thoughts because he too is a Viet Nam Vet. 18 years ago he was diagnosed with PTSD so he IS entitled to a point of view. Here are his views. (almost sorry I asked)

1. Hanoi Jane should have been tried for treason. She should have never been allowed to make one thin dime of American money. What's her net worth?

Why doesn't 45 have anything to say about her?

2. Cassius Clay was a DRAFT DODGER who became Muhammad Ali after he changed his religion to muslim and his conviction was over turned. Couldn't fight for this country could only beat people to a bloody pulp with his hands. He never should have been able to make one thin dime of American money. What was his net worth?

3. 2 Presidents pardoned DRAFT DODGERS and MILITARY DESERTERS Ford in 1974 with restrictions then Carter again in 1977 lifted the restrictions.

4. He thinks that people should be able to stand for 3 lousy minutes.

He also feels that bigger fish have been fried over the years, and the Nation has looked the other way and moved on, that's why Hanoi Jane still works and Muhammad Ali still won titles.

He also served for the right of the people of the Nation to be free and not oppressed, like they were in Viet Nam.

5.He has less of a problem with these guys and their protests, because they do feel that kneeling IS more respectful then sitting, then he does with the Neo Nazi, he hates them! He feels hate has no place here!

I still don't watch football!

kcrazorbackfan 09-25-2017 07:53 PM

NFL - Not For Long; retired LEO and I'm done with the NFL until sweeping changes are made. Withhold the paychecks to those "oppressed" millionaires and they will change their stance.

Really think so? There is a movement starting..........

simpkinp 09-25-2017 07:55 PM

No football in my home until things change. Look at the free time I have now! Thursday night, all day Sunday and Monday Nights. It is not a matter of race, rather respect. I don’t care what color person is being disrespectful, it is just wrong. I don’t have a racial bias at all. But I am a loyal American, and raised my sons to be the same. God Bless America. She needs it.
