If the Eagles weren't in it, I wouldn't watch. I've cut my viewing of all spectator sports by about 90% over the past few years. To me it is a monumental waste of time. There are so many other things I do instead to actally enrich my life. I only wish I had stopped sooner. That said, I won't argue that I hold the high ground. Many people treat sports for what they are.... a diversion from the stress of daily life. I got caught up in the wrestling match last night and all my worries and cares took a back seat. Still, reading a good book, or listening to some favorite music would have accomplished the same thing. To each his own.
I don't agree with the significant number of criminals that the NFL employs either which seems to have increased significantly in recent years. I don't boycott other organizations that employ former felons (who do you think is stocking shelves at night at many places you shop).
Look, I could understand making this comment if it were the Patriots playing the Cardinals. But knowing that this board is full of Philly fans, it kind of makes you look foolish. Even some Philly fans that may have raised their middle finger to the NFL when the kneeling started are probably back in the fold for this game. Let them enjoy their moment.
Seems like you've got a lot of company, as you're about the 20th person to post this in the past few weeks...
Just as the scarecrow said in the Wizard of Oz, "If you only had a brain!"
No, one of those actions is taken for intentional disrespect. The others are attempted displays of patriotism (I will have to take your word for it as I did not watch). I honestly don't give a damn about code. It is about loving and respecting the greatest Nation on Earth. If that is in the form of a hot chick in a somewhat flag themed bikini, then so be it.
