Nice job Commander.

Unfortunately the situation looks like it just got kicked up another level. Apparently the owner of the Texans made some very inappropriate comment regarding the players and got caught doing it. The players responded by almost the entire team kneeling for the anthem during the last game. The owner apologized and tried to repair the damage done, but it doesn't seem like the players wanna hear it. Now Kapernick is suing the President and I think some of the owners citing collusion on their part when he was a free agent in 2016, claiming they discussed reasons for not signing him to a contract because of his actions with the kneeling which he began that year and that he was a bad influence, or something to that effect.

When it rains........ack.

Thanks Capt.

I saw this earlier yesterday. I didn't watch any of the games yesterday as I had more important things going on, including spending time with the family. Further, the games seem to have been pushed off to the side as the NFL has become more of a " Soap Opera " and not a collection of sporting events. If I want to see a soap opera, I will turn one on. This is just another example of how ineffective Roger Goodell is as the commissioner of the NFL.

I think the players were trying to make a statement but enough is enough.

Agreed. I think we've all had enough of this nonsense. You hit the nail on the head. There are more important things going on, and spending time with the family was a much better choice. Bravo. I'll probably watch the last of October baseball...AWESOME game 5 btw....and go hibernate until spring training. Football was my 2nd favorite, but honestly the Giants and Jets are draining the life out of me. Oyyyyyy.........
