    Can we wait to boycott PFJ til after they discontinue the Buffalo Chicken Pizza?

    As far as kneeling for the National Anthem, my thoughts are "when do they think that America will be good enough to stand for it again?" These are multimillion dollar sports/leaders who barely graduated high school and most of them didn't finish college. They carry a lot of power in their image. But when and how are they going to determine when America is good enough? My opinion it is a bad thing to kneel down and show disrespect to the National Anthem to protest the bad things America is guilty of over 100 years ago. America is getting better and better every generation. But when you kneel down to disavow the betterment of this country you scrape off the healing scab to start bleeding again.

    I thought it was all better already since the Confederate statues had been destroyed, what did I miss?
    Too much time on the road I guess.

    They're not. It was in protest of current events.

    OK too many articles but you are correct they did say that but also respects those who protest one of the racers says he supports NFL and those who choose to protest.Trump is the one who started this in the deep south last Friday night by calling the players who knell an SOB.

    It is their right to protest peacefully. It is my right to withhold my money from the owner who thinks it is appropriate, which I do not.
    Let's see if the almighty dollar causes the NFL to change their sudden intense embracing of the consttutional right of freedom of expression.
     
    DTP and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Just saw a video of a team of 8 year olds kneeling and turning their backs on the National Anthem. Now you tell me, what does an 8 year old know about political current events to lead them to feel their lives are oppressed such that they need to protest. Or could it be their leaders, parents/coaches are the ones instigating this and warping young minds. These 8 year olds in 10 -20 years will be running this country. Think about that scary thought for a moment.
