I love football too much to give up watching because of outside politics, if black lives mattered then why are they not doing something to save the lives of the many innocent black people getting shot and killed in Chicago on a daily basis?.
Just because one cop went too far they start these violent and crazy protests, clean up the police departments of the bad ones and move forward. Sports and watching sports on TV has given young black men who were blessed with athletic ability endless opportunities to build a lifestyle some could only dream of. For me these protests should have ended after the first week, focus on real solutions not running around the streets like a bunch of crazies while destroying businesses and property of innocent people
My suggestion is leave the players in the locker rooms while they play the national anthem and make sure TV is not covering that portion. Like it or not some paying customers are patriotic and believe in standing.
