Since when....

[sleepngbear]

Since when has it been OK to use the playing of the national anthem as a platform for advancing personal agendas? Not that I really give two craps about what goes on in the NFL, because I quit on that joke of an organization and it's assclown commissioner before last year, but enough is enough. Fans are there and have paid a LOT of money to see a game, not be subject to mass political rants. All this protesting crap this year only reaffirms my decision to avoid this 'league' like the plague, yet I'm still subjected to its group stupidity every time I glance at the news. Same will go for any other sport that allows this behavior. I really am about ready to take my chances and move to Bolivia.

I'm with you on that. I'd be good with my fat gurl and a tent on the beach in another country.

Well, it was good enough for Butch and Sundance. For awhile, anyway.

Since at least 1968 for those in a protected class.

Except it was pretty much universally condemned back then. All of a sudden it's not only allowed, it seems to universally embraced.

So now two of the Patriots raised a fist. I wonder what would happen if all the white fans decided to protest the NFL with their wallets. Ridiculous.

What's league minimum for a season-700 K?? Reason I ask my very best year driving a truck wuz about 65 G. And I was gone more than I was home. If these over muscled under brained sides of beef can make more money and get "respect"-Oh B T W-Respect is EARNED-somewhere else then Why in the hell are they still here? Friend of mine used to tell people that were pissed off at him-don't let the door bang ya in da as on the way out! Seems apropos here for some reason!  RIDE SAFE.
