I’m not telling anybody what to watch & not to watch, but if you like seeing a cry baby million dollar player protesting something that has nothing to do with the American flag & our Military. You’re right there in the same boat as the player. So watch your football & I’ll keep praying for our country! Not here to argue, just here to hear what the American people think about our country.

Could you explain to me while all the controversy about kneeling the military were still showing up in uniform at games , the color guards were still performing, service people were singing the national anthem, the air force was still doing fly overs and the Golden Knights and other military sky dive teams were still jumping into stadiums , I have an idea perhaps like many they understood that it was never about disrespect of the military and were smart enough to know that

I think you're right. The NFL is still doing a lot of patriotic things and donating lots of money to charity. As I said, I've enjoyed following my team for over 60 years. Being down here and watching there games brings back a little feeling of home. I fell that if I stopped watching games because of a few morons, (and they are in the minority) then they win and I lose.

I'm not criticising people who have chosen to not watch games because of them. I just think that we all have to make our own decisions.

The NFL is paid by the various military branches to be allowed to do many of those things...

are you implying that the armed forces has so little integrity , that they would pay someone that was disrespecting them in public , or forcing all those men and woman in the stands to basically be paid stooges for the benefit of an organization that had no respect for them

The real interesting thing for me is , every so often when this disrespect of the flag and kneeling talk comes up no one seems to bring up how the flag was used during the storming of the capital , Oh wait a minute I forgot , the guys using the flags to beat capital police were the same guys protesting the disrespect of the flag by players GO CELTICS ( I mean can I say that guys??)

Most certainly.

The Crazy Amount of Money the Military Gives to the NFL

But, it not appears that they no longer pay the NFL (it had nothing to do with anyone kneeling, as it stopped a few months before that happened...). It was stopped after a report came out about how much the DOD was paying, causing a bit of a ruckus...
