I know how you feel ... Still, I try to maintain some loyalty, but it gets harder every year.

Why should they care? The protest is not about the military. It's not about the flag, it's not about Trump (as much as he thinks everything is about him), it's not about patriotism, period. It's about systemic injustices is U.S. society. There's no point in reading anything more into it, because you'd be misinformed.

Given the NFL's efforts to hide facts about brain injury, I have no sympathy for their outrage over on field protests.

If you REALLY want to honor our veterans, get them quality healthcare and get thousands of them off the streets.

Standing up for the anthem at an NFL game does nothing to help our veterans, it just makes you feel better about yourself.
I'm a veteran as well(not that it matters) and I'd like the players to keep their politics out of the game. I watch sports as an escape from stuff like that. Since they started protesting I've limited my NFL watching to my home team only, while before I would watch more games. I will keep up with this pattern until they stop protesting.

If you wanted to watch the game you could just start after the anthem. You're letting a few minutes dictate a 3.5 hr event.

I'll watch most of the Bears game as I always have. I don't agree with the kneelers but they can be dip****s if they want.

Yes I am, and I'm not alone, and I think the league is starting to realize it.
