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

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

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.

that says it all.

I certainly am!!!

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

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.

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!

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]

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.

Hmmm, now I'll have more time on Sunday watch'in the people walk'in there Dog's. Just to see if they pick-up the Poop, er-um Mess.......

[Coal Miner]

Im watching. People have the right to not stand. OK! I wonder how many of these suddenly ultra patriotic folks stood in their living rooms while the Anthem was being played. People this is not a big deal unless we make it one. We have more important issues to be concerned about.

I turned off the NFL< MLB and NBA a long time ago. Too much money to play with balls.
