Being that he plays in San Francisco, I’m sure he will be.

Saw this article, but I am not going to be a fan of MLB, NBA, or NFL this year. I am taking a knee.

If HS or college did something similar, would your position be the same?

Yes. Calling Direct TV and stopping the sports package. 

[BS Wildcats]

Those that kneel are weak and just following like good sheeple.  It takes more guts to not kneel.  Who do those that kneel think they are kneeling to, BLM?  I bet the racist BLM crowd thinks so.

[stevenash]

There are plenty of people who turn to sports to escape the everyday political and social stresses and now that outlet is tainted as well.

[myrecordwashorrible]

Yes! If I may answer the question about HS and College athletes kneeling and doing something I detest.

Y’all notice that leftist politics are ruining virtually all our entertainment options for conservatives (or even a few liberals)?  MLB, NFL, Movies, TV?    It’s their right to knell or stand, if the owners are good with it.  Make movies glamorizing the Leftist agenda.   Take Live PD off TV.   And it’s our right to watch or not watch.   

Btw, A&E might be rethinking their decision to take Live PD off.   Wonder if the others will also?

One of the very few things I watch on tv is sports. It use to be my escape from the daily chaos. Liberals/Democrats have suck the life out of this country like a Parasite with all this PC crap! As for as the young man taking a stand I salute you. Good to see the young man thinking for himself an knowing what the RACIST MARXIST BLM ORGANIZATION STANDS FOR! Let all the little self serving spineless turds kneel. His parents should be PROUD for him standing!

Professional sports are going to pay dearly for their caving...empty stadiums and now turning fans off is unsustainable.

I feel for all the employees that work gates  and concession and custodians.  But I ll be glad all these overpaid people to play a sport as well as those owners and board members come back to reality and be humbled knowing they are not essential.

also by not supporting them we don’t support China.

Agree, that’s who I feel sorry for, the poor downtrodden oppressed athletes are still getting paid, for now, anyway.

No not tv.

by merchandise made there.....but I could be wrong on that.....I didn’t research that.

either way when you don’t buy any sports related products it hurts those leagues and owners.

 

[baddog]

Butts in the seats and merchandising make bookoos of money, but the tv contracts are what makes the nfl go. So if viewers switch off the tvs, this hits them where it counts.

The players are making about 37% of their wages for this season. Not sure how bad the owners will get hit. I don't feel bad for either of them. Minimum salary for MLB is $507,500. So they still make at least $187,000. More than 98% of Americans.

Same here, I love baseball but haven’t watched the first pitch this year.  Will be the same with the NFL in the fall.  If college athletes start this crap, that will be the end of that as well.

Actually gotten used to it with the democratic shutdown of everything. Found other interests.

So be it.  Let the “oppressed” athletes have their way.  When the owners start losing millions, this stupidity will stop.

I’ll have to spend my time trolling message boards.

Colin Kaepernick has a right to his opinion and nobody wants to see other humans being needlessly injured by the police. 
 

I just disagree with a protest that does more to push people away from your cause than to unify it. There are countless ways to get the point across without alienating so many who would actually support your cause if the delivery wasn’t offensive.

How badly has Kap and the BLM screwed up their delivery if we now have people out protesting and even shooting each other over something that we all fundamentally agree upon?
