I along with millions of others will be watching the game Sunday.
I appreciate your honesty. With that being said, the millions this year If i was a betting man, will be less than last years. Alot of people have been put off by politics and disrespect of the national anthem, including me. I have watched games this year as I said earlier, but I am nowhere near the fan I once was. I wish they could have kept politics out of it. It has ruined it for alot of us.

I won't be watching Sunday.

Did you serve, have you ever had a friend or family member who served who came home under our flag? If you had you would probably feel different.

Sports cars, girls, cash has nothing to do with kneeling and disrespecting our National Anthem, flag and military.

Or had a family member deployed protecting our flag and country. Laying awake all night restless wondering what or if Freaking out because you are not getting any news and then getting the call and praying its not bad news. We are free, we are free to protest ,worship what ever, because of our flag, our country. Protest all you like but when you disrespect the things that make you free, its time to move to Canada Like so many threaten. I wish they would do it. When they get there I hope they try to protest the Flag of Canada. More than likely will land them in the clink, or worse. God Bless America, our flag, our country and our military. Long may she wave long may we stand.

I will Drop football altogether. It very may well have a trickle affect. If it does..I have done just fine without the nfl and would do likewise with any other organization that blatantly disrespects our country and our veterans.

Ok, that's an honest answer.

I guess this still a political issue "[FONT=&quot]After Kaepernick first started the protest last year, he was criticised for introducing politics into sports. Many said that football was somehow sacrosanct, and that it should be a place where people can rise above politics."

It's kind of funny that this topic is open as it's all got to with political issues.

If I was to go to the USA and disrespect your flag, nothing would happen? I really believe that we may be a little more free up here in some ways.

As long as political statements are not brought in thread is okay. There is a thread on our politics forum that discusses the politics of it further.

I served 3 years in the United States Marine Corps. Proudly served. It is because of friends and family members who returned home in Flag draped coffins that Patriots and Vets feel as we do. One does not Disrespect or Dishonor those that have sacrificed all giving us the Freedoms that we enjoy each and everyday. These same freedoms unfortunately allow those to be Disrespectful. A True Slap in the Face to those that have lost their lives in all wars and to their families as well.

I won't be watching Sunday.

I blame the commissioner of the nfl as much as anyone. He had the chance early on to reel these Kneelers in, but instead he said that the "Fans need to be more respectful of the Playas Demonstrations. It was then that I realized I was finished with the nfl.

I haven't watched television in well over a decade. Number one, that **** rots your brain. And number two, I have a real life to live and real family to spend time with.

The way I figure it, if a man doesn't mess with me or my family, I got nothing against him. I let people on TV do whatever they want and I don't have an opinion about it because it doesn't pose any threat to me.

TV will have you feeling some sort of way if you let it.

Nope not one single thing would happen to you. Not One single thing. That is what freedom of opinion is. Shoot even the swazi hitler lovers have a right to believe the way they do. That does not mean that the general pops like it, but that is what it is..

I'll watch it here in Texas. It'll be close to dark here when it starts, and the east coasters will already be dark. It won't distract my pool games for $$$ though. I've skipped most if NFL football after the knee-thing first began. Players in the Superbowl will almost literally break a bone for success every play.

I ain't missing that intense action outta spite for what one fool did on his knee.
