    Let's unite, and stop supporting the NFL, and buying any NFL products.

    Justice Robert Jackson:
    “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us.”

    Why play the anthem in the first place? Just play the game. Break your bodies and brains for our entertainment.

    Hmm ... well, it is nice tradition, if nothing else, and some think it bonds people. Thanks to athletes in the NFL, it has become a highly charged contentious issue. That is not the fault of the national anthem. It's totally the fault of the athletes, and its just disgraceful.

    And the athletes themselves would proudly say it definitely has a color. I can't say that, but they can and do. I don't want to upset Utley.

    It's outrageous, and it should make you furious what they get away with. It does me.

    That is the only option. Haven't watched football since about 2006. Really can't stand all the showboating. Don't miss it one bit.

    It's that speech which is most despicable that must be protected.
    One can be sure that he who says he knows knows nothing

    As is your right. That's your form of protest and it should be valued.

    The degradation of the country is indisputable. There is nothing in what they are doing to suggest there's even any problem to solve there, and if you think that's okay, explain why. If anything, it empowers them in a highly negative way.

    Want to get your way? Take it out on America. For blacks, that works 100% of the time. They are spoiled rotten and there is nothing about them to respect or admire.
