The NFL this fall
With the whole race issue, I'm sure NFL players will be kneeling again during the national anthem. What will the fans reaction be. If they do kneel, I will not watch the NFL this season. Instead I will tape College games to watch on Sunday.

You all just hope this race issue fades away out of the spotlight.
Some other big story will take over the news and MSM, and we
can all get back to more important matters. Like watching NFL.

Last year was the first year I watch the NFL since kneeling started. After this week I am done with them forever.

I have a question:
If the players remain in the locker room during the playing of the Anthem, and come onto the field afterwards...will the fans consider this to be an even bigger insult to the flag than the kneeling...or will they see this as an acceptable solution to this problem?

No, I consider them just the roaches they are by hiding.
Not seeing roaches is acceptable.
Just stop playing the NA - there is nothing "American" about football. nothing to be proud of. If it weren't for gambling, no would give a crap about it.

Do you have the right at work? 
WRONG guy to use as an example...... 
Hey, they all make a lot of money and have a lot of time off every year. It's not like it is a REAL job.
Let them do whatever they want on their own time,

Yes totally agree with this statement
A step by step way that the whole racism could be dealt with:
Just go from the locker and come onto the field
Immediately go to coin toss to figure out who kicks off defends etc
Start the game ON time instead of waiting for the national anthem
Sorry but that is what would be quicker and possibly easier so that the NFL or anyone else does not have an issue with the players kneeling or anything else with racism
Goodell if you are listening

TV Ratings will be insanely high without fans in the stands.
Just about everyone I know is dying for some NFL football.
For heavens sake, the 2020 NFL draft rating were UP 37%

I still noticed a lot of empty seats in the stands.
they could come out and kneel for a moment, then stand for the anthem.

I'd like to tell you how much the NFL will miss you guys. But I can't. The game will go on without you. Hopefully all of you can meet on Sunday's after church. Clutch your bibles, find a flag to worship and think of the old days when America was great.
CK will be playing the trump card on our draft dodging president that you genuflect too. Must be a shock to your sterile disinfected systems.
Damn sons of bitches.

The only NFL game in which the national anthem is shown on television is the Super Bowl,usually because there's someone well known singing it and everything on Super Bowl Sunday is amplified to the nth degree. So are CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN being "disrespectful" by not showing it?That's three minutes of advertising revenue down the tubes. Money before country, I guess.
It was mentioned that the players shouldn't kneel because they are at work.How many jobs has anybody here had that started your shift with the Star Spangled Banner.?
