Football Season

If I were to ever go back to following NFL football my team would still be Green Bay. Because Green Bay plays football the way it is supposed to be played. In the rain, in the snow, in the mud, and in the sub zero temperatures. None of those sissy climate controlled domed stadiums for them.

But alas, the Pack is joining the rest of the herd. Kneeling, names on shoes and jerseys, BLM painted on all the endzones. Did you know that Dallas would not allow team members to put the names of 6 policeman who murdered on a patch on their uniform, but now it's ok to put FELONS, Rapists, Murderers, Sexual Predators on their uniforms?

I'm a Vet and I also think it's disgusting! Get off your damn knees and do something productive, like volunteer at soup kitchens and shelters, start support groups, promote POSITIVE change instead whining how bad you have it (while sitting in your mansions during covid and complaining how it's hell to be in lockdown). Flippin Hypocrites!
 
@KimIn Wis ... Trade isn't around here anymore... those posts are old.


2020 NFL football season kicks off tonight ... Kansas City vs Houston from Chiefs Stadium
Will be watching to see if it resembles anything of a regular game, since there was no preseason and fans will be sparse.

I would slap Colin in the face if I ever saw him....Really!!! He should give up football...I can't believe he is still around...
He disgust's me....
 
Don't think all the social and political stuff is not pushed by sponsors as well as the NFL top brass. If it's genuine why did it take so long and why did the Redskins finally ban their name after decades of pressure?

What I got from the game last night .... and probably what's to come everywhere. ... Players on both teams were royally Booed by the fans in attendance before they started the game. ... too much drama! Fans are pretty fed up with it.

I was watching some of the Bills - Jets pre-game, but just shut it off before kickoff. Too much left-wing politics.

Hey NFL: The first game I ever watched was the '92 Superbowl, Bills vs. Redskins.

Today is the first time, since then, that I have shut the game off (even before kickoff) for any reason -- and I don't care anymore. You can shove your politics.

So far, they just don't get it ... wonder if they will wise up before they lose everyone, and the revenue that fills their pockets.

I don't know if there's going to be a football season this year, but I hope so. I'm so excited that the NE Patriots got Cam Newton! I'm sick of all the gloom and doom about Tom Brady leaving. I mean, sure, he's great. Amazing. BUT he's not the only quarterback on the planet. We can't give up on our team because one person has left.

I've seen Cam Newton play and he's really impressive. Who knows, maybe another SuperBowl victory...?

The Pats got off to a good start and Newton looked pretty comfortable both running and passing. On a down note, the Bucs lost with Brady throwing 2 pics !

Well the PLAYERS made it POLITICAL....
If I rant about politics at work.... I LOSE MY JOB......HINT HINT HINT.....

In other News....
A local Tavern blasted FB about opening night football specials.....
PAGES of negative replies... not watching, not supporting ECT.....
On my way into work.... the normally occupied parking lot.....
EMPTY!!!!!!! only 3 cars....
 
I agree Ruthanne. Leave the political hacks in the parking lot. If we can't get through the pre-game ceremonies, we must not really enjoy the game.

I attended auto races for years, local short tracks, and used to be disgusted when folks didn't stand, stop walking, or stop bull sh**ting long enough to hear the anthem. Never stopped me from enjoying the races.

What I don't enjoy is the off key warbling, drawn out versions of the anthem. If you;re going to sing it - -sing it - - save your improvisations for show tunes and such.

Unfortunately, politics have invaded sports, primarily the players, but the owners are going along with this nonsense.
The Networks should not be involved, but these are the people pushing this agenda.


There is a lot of money somewhere, but I do not understand the events, nor the reasoning behind what their trying to cram
down my throat.

Yes! politics has no business on this thread; it really irks me that we have little choice when we want to watch football.
I skip the first quarter of the Flop and Confused Cowboys game to avoid this #@^&.

Aren't there enough protest, Leave MY Football Games along.-

Keep it up and we will vote by ignoring football, I am pissed!
 
Voting by not watching football.

I did not watch Monday Night Football, will not watch Thursday night football.
They can take their political wagon elsewhere.

There are exceptions: The Flop and Flub Cowboys will be on Thursday Night Football; I will skip first quarter to avoid
political nonsense, but I've been watching these clowns since the 60's.

The behavior during Anthem really irks all vets Grrrrrr.
