The NFL, Kneeling, Ratings, and the Flag

My understanding from a Rodgers radio interview is that they will all remain standing while locking arms. No kneeling or sitting. So, I'll be curious to see the reaction to that.
 
I think I have said it here, I don't mind protesting. I think sticking to your values and protesting according to your values is a good thing. My issue is the mechanism, and the apparent manufactured outrage since Trump tweeted what he did. I agree with red flag that this is totally overshadowing the very good charitable work that most of the players and teams do. I don't mind that this is creating a national dialogue, in fact I welcome it. But I fear that their actions are backing everybody into a corner, those who agree with those actions, and those who don't, and everyone will be sticking to their guns to The Bitter End.

What's great unity would be standing at attention with their hands over their hearts and then donating both time and money to inner city charities for at-risk youth from broken homes. Because the true leading cause of crime is young men raised without fathers.

You know they don't do the latter? Do you do those things?

They have way more money and way more time than I do. However, I've put my money where my mouth was when it came to Hurricane Harvey Relief donating to Rugby Relief (Didn't have the time, although I may get some soon), which is a fucking outstanding organization of Rugby Players that deployed 170 people in Houston to gut homes. Mostly to help Rugby people but it quickly became Rugby House on the block first and then the rest in a systematic fashion. They're still working. Puerto Rico is without power right now, place is fucked, and we're hearing about this shit. Why are you playing with this crap?

Like I have hear about this shit all day rather than how troops and ships are moving to the Caribbean to begin stability operations.

While likely not your intent, your phrasing comes across as antagonistic towards another member.

Professional environment please; especially in these types of threads. We have at least two topics that are always just one misinterpreted phrase from blowing up into an angry dialog between any two members.

Thanks!

Thought we talked about this very thing earlier.

@TLDR20 and @ThunderHorse you're taking a break from the thread.

@Ooh-Rah , thanks for the work, and everyone else, carry on.
