Man I hear you, but on this board you are talking to the hand. I’m watching the NFL...always have and always will. With commercial unless I’m getting a beer or disposing of one.

Well, go watch the NFL. Don't even miss a commercial, just pee in your pants so you won't miss any of ck.

You do understand that unless you are wearing suits from Saville Row, most of your clothing and shoes are made the same way Nike makes theirs.
I am sure some of my clothes are, however those arent on TV preaching how Police are attacking only Blacks, How it is so Amazing to disrespect the Flag and Anthem.. But that is why we need to bring textiles BACK to America.. And I hear you already, yeah if you want to pay 40 for a tee shirt.. I would pay more for Made In America, YES!!
 
What if one veteran is offended and another is not? If someone offends only one veteran, but not a vast majority of others, do you not support that person?

Does/did it dishonor veterans to dodge the draft or get special non-combat positions in the national guard because of your family's status? Is it offensive to disparage a man who spent years on the Hanoi Hilton as not a hero? Is it offensive to disparage a guy who earned 3 bronze stars in the Navy by later saying he didn't deserve them?
I remember hearing they removed the Ten Commandments off of a park bench somewhere because 1 person was offended, and as far as someone dodging the draft, LOL< apples and oranges, what if I hate beets and you dont.. There is a difference between disrepecting a person and disrespecting ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT, the military that protects him, and the National Anthem of a Nation that has allowed him to make millions of dollars playing a game.. but hey, that is a typical response... i heard the exact same words on The View.

the problem with America today is, you can only disagree with one side, we all know that side, if you disagree with the Left, You are Racist, Homophobic, sexist, etc etc etc.. i remember the good ole America where you disagreed with someone, then went and had a beer together. Now if you disagree, you have Riots, burning, looting, statues destroyed, etc etc etc.... I for one love to debate, but you cant debate anymore, Name calling comes out.. so Go Cocks, and I have my opinion, you have yours!! BEAT UGA!!

Never give the symbols more value than the ideals for which those symbols stand, else in time you will lose the ideals.

I don't believe that to be true. I am a conservative former Republucan who no longer has a home in the Reoublican Party because I disagree with their cultural conservatism and they vehemently disagree with my fiscal conservatism. Liberals and Conservatives are fine....Leftists and Rightists are a huge problem and are killing civil political discourse in this country.
 
South Carolina don’t have a nfl team Charlotte does so who gives a chit
It’s time for real Carolina Football babeee
 
I haven't watched the NFL and it hasn't been because of the Flag protest, I stopped watching the NFL because of bad match ups and just don't have time to sit down in front of the boob tube...

With all my tech toys, I can catch the highlights and wait until Thanksgiving Day to watch the traditional NFL games...

Once the play-off's start, I'll catch the last two minutes of the game...
 
Hey NC - thanks for the company list but I didn`t bother to check it. As far as I know, Nike is the only company paying an ingrate millions of dollars and pushing him in the country`s face like a big ol` middle finger to the USA. He started all the crap so no some of us no longer feel we can watch the NFL because the political intrusion ruins the rest of the joy of watching. The commericial(I wanted to see it once) was well-done, but it`s also a bunch of bs, The left had made out this malcontent to be some kind of hero. I guess he is to the anti-Ameicans who have no appreciation for what "sacrifice" is. Yeah, go ahead and feel sorry for Kap while he has gotten rich off of being a terrible role model for young people. I know that`s my opinion and you disagree. The protests are totally disrespectful to our veterans and our law enforcement. They know the true meaning of the word "sacrifice" - Kap has no clue. They risk, sometimes give up, their lives so morons like Kap can freely express their opinions. Try doing that in Cuba or China - he would disappear and never be heard of. Nike has put up huge billboards of Kap in New York City and San Francisco, I think. Why don`t they put up a billboard of veterans who were killed in Iraq or Afghanistan or police officers who have been murdered because they had on a blue uniform? Of course, that will never happen. Nike is not just doing it, they are purposely rubbing it in our faces.

Funny, I was born a democrat and a liberal until I left high school... Seeing first hand what liberalism did to high school kids and their family, staying in poverty became of way of life for them, Reagan made me become conservative when you did things for yourself and not rely on the government for handouts...

Don't trust politicians and I don't put my faith into politicians, but do like a strong leader who isn't afraid to tell people "No" I may not agree with them, but I do respect strong leaders....

Trump isn't politician, but just a strong leader and I respect that...

Like Reagan, Trump is a blue collar president and you'll see the Trump democrat voters in the General election come out in droves vote for Trump backed candidates..

The republican party has become the party of elites after Reagan died...

Reagan was elite, he was just a good communicator. Trump is neither conservative or a Republican....he is a Populist and a demagogue.
 
I'll stick with the Charles Krauthammer/George Will side of the party....and remember Thomas Paine's warning about electing demagogues. And just hope and pray this country can survive it.


AKA Never Trumpers.... The original republican blue blood party....

No thank you... I'll go with the GDI's...

tell #BLM and ANTIFA that.....
 
You are right. I will gladly and proudly admit to not being a Trumpican. I am a Republican....disenfranchised though I may be. We will have to clean up the fiscal and international mess he leaves.

You're not a republican based on a earlier post.. I could be wrong but You appear to be like me a fiscal conservative ...The Republican Party died in 1989 , it's a shell of a once great party...

The country will survive as soon as the Left accepts our President... I am sure the right wasnt a fan of Obama, you didnt see Riots, Looting, Attacks on his Family like Trump, go ahead and say they were, Show us an example of Obama or anyone being shown BeHeaded on national publications... Broadway plays stopped to Attack them, etc etc
 
It crazy... the same people on this site who wrap their hands around veterans are the same people who voted for a man who said veterans that were POW's weren't HEROS

Trump is accepted by 36% it will never go up , November 18th 2018 is the start of the end of the GOP for a long time ..the GOP started falling apart in 1989 and Trump has finished off the GOP this year

I also heard that Trump had that same 36% chance beating Hillary, so you may very well be right, but it beats the hell out of the Socialist Left Democrats!!! The Hillary loss was the end of the Democratic party, they are quickly turning to Socialism..
 
wow, The View exactly stated it the Same way, WOW, what a coincidence!! Hey she lost. Get over it!!

I did kind of what George Will did...start identifying more with the Libertarian Party. That seems to be the refuge for disenfranchised more moderate Republicans.

Welcome to the party , many people are libertarians , some just refuse to admit it or don't realize it ...except for the crazies that worshipped Falwell and now Franklin graham , and their ilk
 
Why are there so many apologists for the NFL? Are they scared their precious game will lose TV contracts? They allowed this narrative when it could have been shut down before it started. Thursday viewership was down 13%.

I turned the Thursday game off, not because of any commercial or political issue but because it was a horrible game. #FireSark
