    I did answer your. I said who knows. The better question is who cares? Before Trump told you to be upset, did you even give a flying ****? Did you lose sleep over players not standing for the anthem? Was your life altered in any way negatively?

    That's right! Sure enjoyed that world series though, no kneelers there and darn good ball play!

    Hey look! You finally responded to that video after you had at least half a dozen posts saying that didn’t happen, the players never came out on the field prior to anthem prior to 2009!

    It’s amazing!

    As an Italian who grew up in Northern New Jersey, I can say with absolute certainty that Papa John's pizza is horrible. It was fortunate for Papa John's that most people never knew what real pizza tastes like. Calling Papa John's real pizza is like calling Jack-in-the-box tacos real Mexican food.

    No, you asked who cares. So not an answer at all, but a question. And you did when you kept posting that prior to 2009 the players always stayed in the locker room.

    So I guess who cares why I buy tickets? There. Now according to you, your question is answered.

    Dude, it's the disrespect the players are showing and the league doing nothing about it. Being a lefty I thought boycotts would be up your alley.

    Boycott all you want as the good Trump lapdog that you are. The NFL and true sports fans don't give a ****.

    Wrong. I said prior to 2009 the players were not REQUIRED to come onto the field for the Anthem. If they wanted to come onto the field they could. If they wanted to stay in the locker room, they could. I bet the league will make a rule similar to those days allowing the players to stay in the locker room if they wish during the anthem. But I guarantee the moment Trump tells his followers that hang on his every word that they need to be angry about that, you all will. LOL

    Ok. Whatever you say:

    No. No they weren’t. They were on the field. Nothing about them not being required....

    Again, nope. Not at all. Forced? Again, no. Nothing about them not being required.

    No. No they didn’t. Nothing about them not being required.

    Have you seen a common theme? No where have you stated in any of those posts that:


    prior to 2009 the players were not REQUIRED to come onto the field for the Anthem.

    I did, remember: Who cares why I buy tickets to sporting events?

    Also, I’m a married man. Please stop flirting with me.

    And nowhere in your posts did you show me that ALL players were on the field during EVERY game for the National Anthem. You showed 1 video of a game in Denver in 2008 where players were on the field while a handful of America hating people yelled during the Anthem that clearly didn't bother you for some odd reason. LOL

    I mean it's clear as day why your outrage is ONLY directed at the players who are being silent as they kneel and not at the fans screaming during the anthem.

    It's interesting that some of the far-left posters here seem to think patriots are offended at this kneeling nonsense only because of loyalty to Trump, as if patriotism only applies to Trump supporters or Republicans. See, that's partly where this kneeling nonsense blew up in the face of the alt-left BLM types in the first place -- there was a lot more push back from patriotic Americans than anyone suspected, and it wasn't limited to political party. There were people from across the political spectrum (conservatives, Republicans, Independents, moderates, liberals and Democrats) who were offended to see the flag and the country disrespected in this manner. Face it, this so-called "movement" is the Titanic, the alt-left and BLMers should just abandon ship since it's going to sink.

    It's a term of endearment sugar. Besides, I'm not attracted to Men or fascists, so you're in the clear.

    Like most folks, I mainly watched large young lads getting all sweaty and scrambling their brains on tv so that I can see crappy pizza ads.

    Whether they stand, sit, genuflect, or assume a lotus position when they're not performing on the field is not my concern.

    Is "Papa John's" the one that's a front for a pedophile operation, or does he just have sports celebrities drop their drawers and sit on his pizzas?

    In the Trump Era many upstanding America Patriots (including many in the anti-Trump GOP) are happy that flag burning is protected speech.

    And yet, not a word of protest from any of you so called Patriots last season while the players were kneeling then. But the moment your Messiah, Trump told you to be angry at them, you sure did answer the call as the good loyal Trump lapdog you are!

    Ah this is a slap in the NFLs face and you lefties can piss salt and vinegar about Trump and Schnatter or how the pizza tastes all day but anytime a huge sponsor pulls out? It's bad.

    Crazy people. Roger Goodell is history. Vote of no confidence by alllll those billionaire team owners. Think they got to be billionaires by listening to dipshit leftists? No.

    Most Americans recognize that Trump hyped players' symbolically genuflecting during the song as a diversion to wee wee up his base.

    As many folks deem it respectful as disrespectful, and a sizable majority think Trump's grandstanding is inappropriate.
