You graduated high school in 2011. Your teenage years were a struggle. You grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Your mother was the leader of the family and worked tirelessly to keep a roof over your head and food on your plate.

Academics were a struggle for you and your grades were mediocre at best. The only thing that made you stand out is you weighed 225 lbs and could run 40 yards in 4.2 seconds while carrying a football. Your best friend was just like you, except he didn’t play football. Instead of going to football practice after school, he went to work at McDonald’s for minimum wage.

You were recruited by all the big colleges and spent every weekend of your senior year making visits to universities where coaches and boosters tried to convince you their school was best. They laid out the red carpet for you. Your best friend worked double shifts at Mickey D’s. College was not an option for him. On the day you signed with Big State University, your best friend signed paperwork with his Army recruiter. You went to summer workouts. He went to basic training.

You spent the next four years living in the athletic dorm, eating at the training table. You spent your Saturdays on the football field, cheered on by adoring fans.

Tutors attended to your every academic need. You attended class when you felt like it. Sure, you worked hard. You lifted weights, ran sprints, studied plays, and soon became one of the top football players in the country. Your best friend was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. While you were in college, he deployed to Iraq once and Afghanistan twice. He became a Sergeant and led a squad of 19-year-old soldiers who grew up just like he did. He shed his blood in Afghanistan and watched young American's give their lives, limbs, and innocence for the US.

You went to the NFL combine and scored off the charts. You hired an agent and waited for draft day. You were drafted in the first round and your agent immediately went to work, ensuring that you received the most money possible. You signed for $16 million although you had never played a single down of professional football. Your best friend re-enlisted in the Army for four more years. As a combat tested sergeant, he will be paid $32,000 per year.

You will drive a Ferrari on the streets of South Beach. He will ride in the back of a Blackhawk helicopter with 10 other combat loaded soldiers. You will sleep at the Ritz. He will dig a hole in the ground and try to sleep. You will “make it rain” in the club. He will pray for rain as the temperature reaches 120 degrees.

On Sunday, you will run into a stadium as tens of thousands of fans cheer and yell your name. For your best friend, there is little difference between Sunday or any other day of the week. There are no adoring fans. There are only people trying to kill him and his soldiers. Every now and then, he and his soldiers leave the front lines and “go to the rear” to rest.

When the National Anthem plays and you take a knee, he will jump to his feet and salute the television. While you protest the unfairness of life in the United States, he will give thanks to God that he has the honor of defending his great country.

To the players of the NFL: We are the people who buy your tickets, watch you on TV, and wear your jerseys. We anxiously wait for Sundays so we can cheer for you and marvel at your athleticism. Although we love to watch you play, we care little about your opinions until you offend us. You have the absolute right to express yourselves, but we have the absolute right to boycott you. We have tolerated your drug use and DUIs, your domestic violence, and your vulgar displays of wealth. We should be ashamed for putting our admiration of your physical skills before what is morally right. But now you have gone too far. You have insulted our flag, our country, our soldiers, our police officers, and our veterans. You are living the American dream, yet you disparage our great country. I encourage all like-minded Americans to boycott the NFL.

National boycott of the NFL is November 8th & 15th in honor of Veteran’s Day, November 11. Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums. Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor our military - some of whom come home with the American flag draped over their coffin.
Add MLB, NBA, and any other sport that kneels to this

It’s pretty sad they have pic of Drew Brees from 4 years ago .
The national anthem was not even being played in that pic .
It was a prayer .

The person to his left is Zach Strief .
He has been retired from the NFL for over 3 years . He is now the saints radio play by play announcer .
Yet this stupid email that is being sent out makes it look like he is bending his knee for the national anthem .

Drew Brees has never bent his knee for the national anthem .

Why does everyone have to use fake news these days to make thier point ?

i was one of those pampered athletes. i made millions of dollars. 9/11/2001 happened. i needed to help fight for my country. i left the NFL and walked away from millions to go fight in Afghanistan. i died for my country.
All those fine patriotic military officials who always stood for the anthem had no problem lying to my widow and family about my death. They told stories to the public and my family for weeks and months that they knew were untrue.
Those same patriotic military men and soldiers who always stood for the anthem attempted to lie and cover up the true nature of my death at every turn. They did it to help push their narrative and try to use my death for their benefit.
i guess that is all right though, those military officials always stand for the anthem and "are very patriotic" for doing so.

Regardless of your stance, having “end racism” in the end zone is NOT going to end racism and most likely make little difference

I will watch a little to see how players do on new teams and hope the politics is kept to a minimum

Gambling for the next year or so on NFL over after today

yup.. I hated when they started with anti domestic abuse stuff years ago .. and now we made it all the way to racial inequality etc ..

even the breast cancer stuff, great cause BUT how many people looked forward to watching that game as a diversion
from a health crises .. and you just want to talk about it the entire game

Cancel Culture is Pathetic. Even more pathetic how desperate republicans are too get into the act.

If you don't want to watch, don't watch! You don't need to make a spectacle of yourself. Just stfu and don't watch. Everyone doesn't have to agree with you. Very simple.

we can go back and forth with how we feel about the NFL with the stances their taking.. I think most of us can agree , we don't feel the same about these sports leagues as we once did.

Astute

Sunday afternoon 1:05pm Week One NFL

There are *35* members viewing the once high-traffic RxForum main room (Offshore Forum)

Based on past couple years demos, that's about 20-25 men who are bitter about the public stances taken by NFL players and mgmt and there's about a dozen men who are not bothered in the slightest

The 30 NFL teams reasonably have at least 3million ardent followers who will somehow, some way offset those 20 to 25 rxforum "boycotters"

Btw Brees stood for the anthem today like he did every other game of his entire career along with every other member of the team except for Jenkins .

But let’s keep posting fake pics of Brees bending his knee for the national anthem
