The Broadcasters are certainly between a rock and a hard place, but by omitting the National Anthem before the game by the Broadcasters is tantamount to endorsing the players, by not showing the playing before each game of the National Anthem, which is synonymous with the start of each game and part of our culture...

Perhaps the broadcasters could show solidarity with the country by playing the National Anthem using a different forum? A forum which embraces the respect our Anthem and Flag has earned with the blood of men and women in uniform who served and protected us over the past two centuries?

Broadcasters have inadvertently endorsed the protesters by not demonstrating the imagination to provide the viewers with the playing of the Anthem in a tasteful format...while, live at the game players continue to disrespect all of America and Americans by their hollow protests...

Their protests are hollow because they choose to do nothing but take a knee...when I played football as a child we took a knee for a brief rest to assist with avoiding possible fatigue...

All I can say is a vast majority of America grows weary of the hollow protests by the overpaid grown children not willing to take responsibility for the cause they protest, as an adult. They chose to disrespect instead by showing defiance to our nation, our people, and the men and women in uniform who have fought so that they could maintain the right to speak their mind...

So far, for two seasons now, while I have boycotted, all I see is insincere silence on the part of the NFL, the NFL Players Association and the Players who have chosen to take a knee...and in protest of which cause? Do they even know any longer?

Two weeks ago I read an article which included the staggering number of arrests of NFL Players which included two murders along with a host of DUI and Domestic Violence charges...

If these numbers are true, they have altered my perception of the NFL forever, not to mention eliminated from my mindset individuals I would wish my children to look up to as role models, as they selfishly and silently protest without meaning or a sincere course of action to affect change in a positive manner regarding what they protest about...

Their protest, for two seasons now, is remaining hollow, empty, a mere grandstanding...

I no longer support the NFL, NFL Players Assoc. or NFL Players in general and could care less about what they throw a childish insincere tantrum about... I live downtown in my city of 2 million people. Many of us who struggle daily to make ends meet...

I personally laid out the basis for change which the NFL players could pick up the ball and run with that would affect change in a positive manner for all concerned...and yet nothing has been done... (Article published on "One Political Plaza" titled "NFL and Players could stop protest with S.T.H.L.E. (Style)...

The only professional sports stars that I even have any amount of respect remaining, is for Mr. Charles Barkley and Mr. Shaquille O'Neil, who has stated publically that the players need to either get up off their knees and do something in the communities they insist they protest on behalf of or shut the f__k up... I couldn't agree with these two great Americans more!!

Do you understand Putin is out to undermine NATO he annexed Crimea fo which Obama slapped on economic sanctions which Trump has avoided enforcing. Putin has managed to pull Turkey into their orbit. A tug of war is going on over Ukraine. Paul Manafort earned millions working for the pro Russian former Prime Minister and laundered it through purchase of New York Real estate by shell corporations set up to pay for it and Trump Tower and Trump SoHo Tower are the two buildings in Manhattan that purchase by shell companies. There is a lot of smoke and its Muellers job to find the fire it takes time to connnect all the dots. There is a lot to this story
