I don't know about the rest of you but it makes me sick to watch these overpaid athletes disrespect the United States by kneeling or sitting during the singing of our National Anthem. This is not freedom of speech it complete disrespect to the men and women of our armed forces who keep us safe.

When will people understand that kneeling during the national anthem or disrespecting the flag, however appalling you may find it, is a sign of a healthy democracy?

Members of the military don’t fight and sacrifice so people have to give up or boycott what they love. They do it so people have the freedom to express themselves and protest however they see fit. So basically when you boycott the NFL, you’re telling the military they’ve wasted their time maintaining the peace so you have the freedom to enjoy the things you love and that protecting our way of life, such as freedom of speech, is a useless endeavor but thanks for trying.

The second you tell an NFL football player he can’t, or shouldn’t, kneel in protest during the national anthem, is the second you dishonor all those that have fought for and died so that we as Americans can have those very rights.

Boycotting the NFL due to the players action is the ultimate form of respect for what the military has provided all citizens of this country. It is my expression of 1st Amendment rights. They kneel for their rights, I boycott for mine. I am also boycotting any sponsors of the NFL. I have already boycotted basketball and if baseball continues, they are next.

Well I'm looking forward to Drew Brees picking apart my fins terrible defense and the fins offense being stagnant. 1-2 here we come! Game is in London, so at least i'll have all day to get hammered in my misery.

Lions are fifth in the power poll yesterday, the only NFC team ranked higher was the Falcons. That's a bit of a overreach. Maybe if they lose this week they'll move up some more.
