Can you imagine if the Chiefs boycott their game in 2 or so weeks? Or Alabama not taking the field at the end of September? It's not as far fetched as it sounds.

It's about time the owners and collegiate associations get a hold of their programs.

You don't want to play? No problem. Step aside.

You don't want to stand at attention for the anthem? No problem. Step aside.

Now we start all over with players who appreciate the game they play and the country they play it in.

Keep your protests and causes private and do them on your own time.

Problem solved.

Fans are again happy.

Leagues again flourish.

The owners have no power. It would work in college sports. Sure as hell won't work in professional sports. The top tier stars dictate everything. Maybe one owner might take a stand. But in the end it's about money. An owner won't take that kind of stand if it means they'll lose out on a superstar athlete or subsequent teammates not playing for their said team and ultimately losing out on billions of revenue and marketing dollars. Can you imagine Jerry Jones or even Robert Kraft and say "my way or the highway", while they field a team of scrubs and empty stadiums?

Maybe hockey. Don't see it anywhere else.

What rock are you under? Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett and the entire team took a knee during the anthem on MNF vs the Cards in 2017

I disagree, 3peet.

The owners need to make policy that pleases the fans. The fans spend the money that both the owners and players make.

You can never let the inmates run the asylum. That devolves into sure failure for all. That's what is beginning to happen here.

I still gamble on sports, play Fantasy Football etc. But I'm doing it without watching anything. What I do is all numbers and stats based anyway.

But I'm not gonna put up with these player shenanigans. That is true for a lot of people I know, most non-gamblers.

If the leagues can't control their players the whole thing stands a chance of imploding.

There are a ton of us who are tired of being called "racist".

There are a ton of us who want to be protected by the police and are tired of Mob's Blue Isis shit.

The benefit of the doubt should always go to the guys who protect, not the guys who are causing trouble for them. Mistakes are inevitable. But the guys who make them cannot be crucified or no policeman (woman) will do their job. You are witnessing that right now in many of our cities. Then what?

But there is no room for these discussions on our fields or courts.

Keep the sports clean of the cancer or the whole thing will implode.

The Computer Group your thoughts on the NFL, you think this fucks us as far as starting on time.

No I don't.......the NFL players will do plenty of kneeling, but I don't see boycotting the first month or so, but who knows come election time......I think the NFL kicks off on schedule, jmo tho......

As a team before the anthem played, they did.

Once the anthem was played, they ALL stood

I’ve been saying it since 2016 since Kaep kneeled trying to tell you guys. You wouldn’t listen to me you fought me about it and still do. You got angry about it. Hannahcarrey, Dipshitzit, the list goes on
