Poll: People Stopped Watching the NFL Because of Colin Kaepernick

[JimBowie1958]

If some assholes decide not to watch the NFL, I see no problem.

Why is a person an ass hole for not liking the same shows you watch?

I did not say they were an asshole because they don't watch the same shows I watch. But the if the reason they stopped watching NFL games is one jackass trying to make a political/social statement, in my opinion, they are assholes. And obviously weren't much of fan anyway.

So being offended by intrusive ideological/political statements into a broadcast football game makes them ass holes?

No. Being offended by passive ideological/political statements like Kaepernick's makes them too easily offended. You know, like a snowflake.

Throwing a tantrum and swearing they will never watch another NFL game is what makes them an asshole.

Intruding into a kids game to make a political statement by showing disrespect to our nations flag is not passive, dude.

And no one is having a meltdown that I have seen; no tears, no demands that CK be forced to do what anyone thinks is right.

CK and those that defend him for his disrespect are the true assholes.

Throwing a tantrum and swearing they will never watch another NFL game is what makes them an asshole.

Who is throwing a tantrum and swearing that they will not watch another game?

Hyperbole much?

A kids game? The average age of players in the NFL is the lowest it has been, at around 26 years old.

And yes, it WAS passive. I did not DO anything to anyone. He withheld his show of respect. Very different things.

And the noise about boycotting is to get CK fired. It has worked so far.

Yes, it all started as a game kids played in the summer to occupy their time. It is still predominately a kids game as most who play it are still kids.

And yes, it WAS passive. I did not DO anything to anyone. He withheld his show of respect. Very different things.

Kneeling when you should be standing and shoving his ignorant ass opinion into everyones living room at the beginning of a game is not passive, dude.

And the noise about boycotting is to get CK fired. It has worked so far.

Bah, the no talent never has been is getting himself passed over.

No one really has to do anything to get him 'fired'.

To try and claim that the NFL, and the billions of dollars involved in that institution, is a kid's game is dishonest. Football may have started as a kids game, but these are grown men.

Yes, it very much IS passive. He did nothing to anyone. He was protesting something he considers serious. No one was harmed by seeing him kneel. Just like no one was harmed watching Tebow pray. It is passive.

CK is not going to be in the HoF, but he is a better backup QB than many in the league.

I am not talking about the NFL; I am talking about the game of football, which nationwide is still played by more high school; students and below.

It is a kids game and the NFL is capitalizing on the public's obsession with being entertained 24/7.

Yes, it very much IS passive. He did nothing to anyone. He was protesting something he considers serious. No one was harmed by seeing him kneel. Just like no one was harmed watching Tebow pray. It is passive.

Millions of patriots with high blood pressure were harmed by that cock sucker kneeling during the National Anthem. Fuck that PoS.

CK is not going to be in the HoF, but he is a better backup QB than many in the league.

CK is first and foremost an ENTERTAINER and in that he is an utter failure and why most NFL clubs are not interested in bringing that pariah onto their teams.

 

[Synthaholic]

I don't buy it. It's the excessive commercials and time-outs. And maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that football is a stupid game.

Oh, so you like the excessive commercials and time-outs?

He's un-American, that's the harm. Ship him out to his place of choice and freeze his accounts that he made from good red blood God loving Americans. You don't disown your only country of origin without consequences. That should never have been televised. We wouldn't have half the problems if we stuck together and worked for the same cause!

Yeah, what a freedom-loving and open way to see things.

Sorry of you don't like what he did. You are free to feel that way. But demanding that everyone act exactly the same where patriotism is concerned goes against the principles on which this nation was founded. And no, we don't kick people out or steal their money simply because they do something (legal) that you don't like.

The owners agree you must stand for the National Anthem. If you don't like it, go play in Canada

Even the NBA instituted a dress code.

Called terms of employment

The NBA requires its players to stand during the anthem. The NFL has no such rule.

And what about the fans? Do you require that they stand?

Terms are not only written, but often are verbal. In many cases, owners are telling their players to stand or adios

The terms of their employment are detailed in their contracts. Unless the contracts are changed, there is no requirement.

There is a point where you have to draw a line that should not be crossed. Hating your country is that line in my opinion. I didn't serve 4 years in the gulf War for people to sit back and disrespect the country they are from and live in..... Where we all live too! People need to stand up and make their voices heard that this kind of anti-american act is not acceptable. It's not what we were founded upon or what we stand for at all. Read the print on a dollar bill someday when you have time. Do a little history research. Understand what America is about before saying it's OK to not be patriotic. He has the freedom but should not be praised for the hate he has.

Oral Employment Contracts
An oral employment contract is just as binding as one in a written agreement -- but it's much harder to prove in court.

Oral Employment Contracts

An owner can, and does, tell players verbally what is expected or they can pack it up. It's quite common as a written contract is not all inclusive or Traitornick would have a job right now.

He can always sue over unfair termination
