It's all about the money. Stop buying into pro sports if don't like what their doing. But we know the sports crazed wannabe's will continue to swallow. Just like they made veteran do. the liberal ran technology in control. FB! Google, Yahoo!, tweeter, and now the NFL. Add in the news media NYT, WP, MSNBC, cbs, abc, NBC, ESPN. NPR! Fairywood, And about 100 more. This what you get. They are not making dime off me.

No more for me until they all stand. It's not bad at all not watching every game available. More free time.

This issue is a symptom of a wider problem. This is about NBA AND NFL players many, whom have been pampered since high school, given special attention, full scholarships, etc.that by time they reach the pro's they believe themselves demigods.

the solution of course is instead of cultivating these ingrates in schools establish a minor leagues as does MLB. I do not see many demigods in the MLB

The unspoken truth is that many of those NFL players protesting with, in the absence of football/basketball as a career would be in jail or on the streets.

The problem I have is that I love watching the Patriots play every week. I've been watching them for years and it is a very enjoyable part of my life. Now, because of a handful of idiots, I'm supposed to give that up?

I can't help but feeling that if I stop watching, they somehow win.

Trump is just playing a game with this matter. I doubt if he has ever cared all that much about the US flag or the US Constitution and the US values it is supposed to represent.

The man is a phony.

How do you come to the conclusion Trump is playing a game and does not care much for the flag or what it stands for?
Did the numbers indicate it??

Time for a lesson on the Consitution! Before the 2nd Amendment of the Consitution, which we all know about, and apparently, cannot be altered in any way there is the 1st amendment which states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Free speech takes many forms, in this case, the NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem is a form of free speech. You may not like it and I may not like it but it is their Constitutional right to do so. It is NOT disrespecting the flag.

Trump is playing a game, its called WAG THE DOG! His poll numbers are in the crapper! He could start a war, that is always good for poll numbers, oh snap, he is trying that with Rocket Man. Or he could try distraction, look over here at this shiny object, these guys HATE THE UNITED STATES!

So he sends Mike Pence off to Indy, at the expense of the taxpayers, to walk into the game wait for the National Anthem and walk out in PROTEST of the protest. The VP told the Press pool not to come with him because he wouldn't be long.

This man reminds me so much of a professional wrestler with his bag of tricks but those people are usually in pretty good physical shape. How has Donald John Trump became so fat with all the golfing he does at tax payer's expense!!!

Yes it IS their right...nobody goes to prison for not standing when the flag goes by...people do it all the time.

BUT...if it DOES bother you...your "free speech" is NOT buying tickets, not watching the game, and speaking up to sponsors. THEY will then weigh their options...and determine what they will do. Which then offers you another choice...support them of not.

It IS disrespect when it's customary to stand. WHY do you think he/they are doing it? It's like turning away when someone tries to greet you.

Or, Mike Pence legitimately attended a colts game, and walked out because he truely felt the country's flag was being disrespected...but he, of all people, is not entitled to the same free speech that the football players are?

And there is no "may not" in my mind, I do not support any free speech that disrespects this country's flag, veterans, active military personnel, or our anthem. If you guys want to be wishy washy about it...go ahead, but I have not watched a single minute of NFL since last fall (The first time the NFL decided to broadcast the insult).

But our childish President had to set up a ruse simply to get the media attention.

Corker is so right.....the oval office is a nursery
