I have a few hundred people in my friendslist on facebook. Probably 3/4 of them are into some sport, most of those are either NFL or Baseball. For the last few weeks its been constant posts of 'HERE COMES FOOTBALL!!!WOOOHWOOOOOOo! o!o!!o!o!o!o!o!o' stuff like that.
I just scrolled through facebook and out of probably 3 doze posts about football in my feed, like 2 were positive. The rest were mostly about players taking a knee and swearing they aren't watching these by god unpatriotic communists cause THESE COLORS DON'T RUN posts. When you know that not a single on of them ever got off their lazyboy when the anthem was played.
I personally don't give a ****. Yes, men and women have fought and died for the country, and its a sign of respect and all, but the very thing those men and women fought and died for was so that people would have the ability to voice their opinions in such ways. Seems like its more of an honor to those people if they do take a knee to me. wtf do i know.
I haven't really been into NFL for years so I really can't watch any less than i already do.
