Texans - disappointed
- Thread starter Lower Deck Tiger
- Start date
I'd rather them not come out than to kneel.
I don’t really like the kneeling either. Don’t understand that, but not angry.
Used to bother me but don’t really care anymore. If they want to fight for their beliefs they’re welcome to do so - the beauty of America. Have to understand that even when I don’t agree.
You realize they stayed inside for both the black national anthem and the U.S. national anthem, correct? They said they didn’t want to pick one side over the other
I really don’t give a shit and don’t watch these over paid jerks!
My policy is just leave me alone and I’ll do the same for you . I don’t care what you do just don’t try to make me care about it
They certainly have the right to disrespect the flag and the country. I also have the right to find their form of protest despicable and have the right to not watch the nfl.
I missed it. There's a black national anthem?
I thought a lot of folks didn't want politics in sports? This averts the whole issue of kneel don't kneel. Should be happy. BTW college football is not on the field for the national anthem.
This is the best scenario for those folks unless they are looking for something to offend them.

Man. The older I get, the more I realize that everyone has something they are disadvantaged by and fighting. Some just like you to know it more than others. The word resilient is lost on so many people today.
Maybe they didn't want to come out because they are scared of Kansas City???
I honestly think the way College handles it is the best way. Just do not come out at all for any pregame anthems. It, at least, eliminates any issues that upset and bother people. I also think if someone refuses to watch because of said actions they have the same rights.
I don’t think anyone is questioning your decision? It doesn’t make sense to me but you do you. Feel like I care way too much about sports to stop watching because of that.
DVR it and start watching it after the opening kick.
Problem solved!

I will assure you that many who love sports are fed up with the political crap that has taken over professional sports.
Some truly groundbreaking stuff ITT. Thanks to all for being brave enough to share.
There is also a Black Miss America, a Black Entertainment Channel, National Black Caucus, a NAACP, and many other black only groups.
Disappointed bc they are there to play football and not get into all the political optics? Interesting.
Im disappointed bc Bill Obrien is a dumbass and is killing Deshaun
Oh I’m 100% one of those people. Just saying I can put aside my differences in opinion and still watch. Life is too short for me to stop doing something I love because we disagree on political topics.
Completely understand where you are coming from. Just can not stand the disrespect for our country from these players.
The crowd was booing like hell!
Maybe soon they’ll get the idea that people are sick of you supporting career criminals.
They could have honored 911 first responders, instead they choose losers

I'm disappointed because I have Deshaun as my starting qb in fantasy and he has generated just 4.76 pts so far.
Are you a communist? The market determines their value.
Please offer a solution then. FYI - they are protesting police brutality and not the country.
Being offended is a choice based on your perception...
Let me guess--Hates politics in sports. Yet loves Clay Travis...
Too many people in this country let the smallest things ruin their lives.
Ahh yes, the old police brutality angle...
Honestly, HONESTLY, in this day & age of camera phones, body cams, video surveillance, etc...if the police were just "brutalizing" the black community the way the media, Hollywood, & pro athletes say they do, why don't we see new videos daily?? We'll see one that is exploited by the liberal media for several months until a new one comes out, but they pretend like they're being "hunted down" as Lebron put it, which is a flat out lie...
And oh, by the way, the people usually being shot in these videos are typically POS criminals too...I guess Jacob Blake being a POS rapist doesn't matter if it can further their "cause"...
I would just eliminate the anthem before games. It hasn’t always been done.
Or do like Clemson. Well before player entry.

Them staying in the tunnel was perfect. I hope all teams that are torn will do that. I have asked that they leave their politics off the field. They did that. Kudos.
I also appreciated that only one player for KC seemed to kneel and he did it in what I felt was a respectful way. Almost like he was praying. He seemed to be the one voice for any others who believe in that movement.
I thought it was well done tbh. A lot less heavy handed on the BLM stuff and more about unity and all working together to make the world better. I promise more white folk would support them if that was the lean all the time. Like it or not, it's not "equal" if one group can have a movement/group/anthem/etc with "Black" in it when the other side absolutely cannot have a group with "White" in it. Equality sells. The other feels like divisiveness imho.
