I assume you are talking about America, but I thought we were working to make it great "again." If it's already great, and I think it is, then what are you poor victims of unfairness whining about?

Cool story, bro.

I don't watch NFL football but think the players have a right to protest during the anthem. People can boycott or boo during the game.

I don't plan to vote for Trump. People should be able to go to a public demonstration and not be assaulted for wearing a Make America Great Again hat. I would guess many of the people who wanted to get a punch in support the right of Colin K to protest peacefully even though it gets a lot of people upset.

But the players don't have a right to protest. It is private property and they are employees. It is the same thing with protestors at Trump rallies. It is not public property so your free speech protest rights do not exist.

You're welcome for being one of the multitude who are helping to drive down ratings and force the NFL to stop insulting the majority of their viewers with their disrespect of the greatest nation on earth.

No complaints about having the extra 4-5 hours on Sundays to be more productive around the house, too.

I hope you're spending your extra time working on your white guilt. All those mocking you already have perfected being sorry for who they are.

I haven't watched a football game in about 4 years now. Reason is, most of the people who play, coach, commentate and watch football are D-Bags.

Have fun playing with your star wars figures.

Case in point.

I used to watch, but not this year. The people who said boycotts don't matter because "most" people would still watch the games, don't understand business margins.

Viewership is down about 10%, so yes most people ARE still watching, but that 10% will come straight out of their advertising revenue stream and hit their bottom line really hard.

You throw 10% of the football audience in the Basket of Deplorables, and you pay the price. It warms my heart to know this is happening.

When you are a Jags fan like me you just need to watch 10 minutes of the game, at which point you'll be losing by 40 so you can go do more productive things thereafter.

I boycott because my former favorite team sucks.

I hope you enjoy hiding out in your little racist hole while the rest of us enjoy football and beer.

Why would you think he is a racist?

It makes no sense.
