Many (myself included) do not like the current trend of politics being injected into our sports, so we've strived to keep them separated. Eric Reid visiting (or especially) signing will make that task more difficult. We understand that it's a big part of the pros or cons with this guy...so just this once, we're going to open up an Anthem-talk-is-ok thread.

That said, know some things:

1. This will not become a trend. This is a one shot deal. If you have something to say about Reid and his Anthem protest, get it out now.

2. We've had Anthem related threads in JN before, and they always end up getting ugly. Please keep it civil and be respectful of differing opinions.

3. This isn't strictly an Anthem thread. Feel free to discuss all of the pros and cons of signing Reid.

Ok then. Have at it.  

My Thoughts
They have the Right to Protest... The Cause they were protesting for was worth while imo.
What I have an issue with is using your job to push your political views on the rest of us.  Protest if you want that's your right...  Protest while at work and you likely get fired.  If I staged a protest at work I'm sure I would not have a job.
I don't watch football for the players political views I watch football for the action.   
Same reason I had an issue with Tebow(using his position as a football player to push his religious views) I have an issue with these guys protesting during the national anthem.  (1 its the national anthem.  2. Its on the job you are getting paid so go to work do your job go home then stage your protest in your free time)
that said I don't hold grudges.  Keap isn't signed cause he sucks.
If reid has the talent he will be a good signing.  And I hope he continues to support his worthy cause  OFF THE CLOCK...
