 I keep debating with myself if I should stop watching the NFL. Unfortunatly I
love the game too much. I played the game myself in Jr High and High school so
I'm emotionally attached. I've been watching very closely this disprespecting
our flag and I must say they have been behaving well. They even stopped a lot
of the "show boating" but they do get penalized for that now. I doubt Kapernick
will ever play in the NFL again. I hope it's a wake up call to keep politics
out of sports. If I see it again I will definelty stop watching the NFL. Let
them burn some buildings down. Just keep your protests out of sports.
