tolerate all the kneeling (protests) that will happen during the National Anthem when our beloved sports start being played again?

I miss watching a good football game and look forward to it but will quickly turn the channel if it becomes a political platform for BLM.

What say you?

When sports become a political stage, I will drop every last one of them.

Not me. I might try to tune in when the game starts. I don't support their choice to use the National Anthem to protest but I do support their right to protest.

I changed the way I looked at most pro sports because of the way their use of eminent domain and the strikes that occurred. Maybe once it starts back up after Covid it will be different, I don't know, but I am waiting impatiently to find out.

Everything is a political stage now.
all of them should just do away with it. take away their stage.

blow the whistle, drop the flag ..... go to work. All professional sports is business. Do your job.

They lost me a couple years ago. Watched the 1969 Super Bowl last night and enjoyed but that's as close as I care to come. All this [censored] just pushes me farther away.

I'd rather be hunting, fishing or anything else that I can write my own story to. I've spent $160 on professional sports in almost 50 years, and that was to make someone else's wish come true. I don't see the point in watching somebody else do something I have no interest in. Give me a beer and a fishing pole and lots of quiet or set me in a deer stand, I' am happy.

I donโ€™t care about NFL, and now that Goodell caved, it will only be worse. My concern is that it starts showing up at college football.

No. Hell no. If kneeling happens We are out. Kneel only for the Cross, stand for the flag.

Sports is not essential. So , I don't care because I won't be watching anyway

But, they can kneel all they want to when off work. if they are on the field they are at work

I normally just watch the Saints and Cowboys in the NFL if I watch it at all!

LSU mainly in NCAA football, baseball and sometimes basketball, and a few other colleges in football. I'll continue to watch my Tigers if they kneel during the Anthem, but will make sure to miss that part. I know what their message is and understand it, I don't have to watch it, just like commercials.

Rangers in MLB, till playoffs.

I won't watch the Saints, Cowboys or Rangers if they kneel during the Anthem period, now if they want to come out to midfield before the coin toss, or the play ball announcement or anytime not during the Anthem, I'd probably still watch occasionally.

Senior Democratic lawmakers, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.), knelt during a moment of silence shortly before unveiling a legislative package of police reforms on Monday.

About two dozen lawmakers knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds as a tribute to George Floyd, the unarmed African American man who died after a now-former Minneapolis police officer pinned his knee on Floyd's neck during an arrest for that length of time.

Lawmakers, wearing African Kente cloth scarves, knelt in the Capitol Visitor Center before holding a press conference to unveil their legislation in response to almost two weeks of nationwide protests over police brutality toward African Americans.

And just who necks did they just step on in the United States??????????????????????????????

As a Veteran I am appalled by our elected knot heads.

I generally don't even tune in until a few minutes into a game anyway. So unless the news posts about it. I wouldn't know who kneeled and who didn't.
