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.  

Thanks Shake, sometimes you just have to get this stuff off your chest.

There was one poster who i think said it best how i feel. "The right to kneel is reason enough to stand."

Reid says he has no intention of kneeling this year and i am happy about it.

These guys get paid to play football, not for their political view points and whether they mean to or not they alienate
military who die for our freedom when they do this. Football is no place for politics and i actually have respect for how
Marvin has handled all of this honestly. He has kept it professional unlike Tomlin and the Stealers.

Also, i must add that i like having Eifert back too who wore cleats that honored the military and got fined for it.

Stand up guy Eifert is (if he can stand up and not break).
