Are we pushing for segregation now or what? The National Anthem includes blacks as well as everyone else. I was so excited to have a good team again. It was exciting to add these new players, no matter their race. The NFL has decided that they are a leftist organization and that being divided is some kind of answer. I can’t support the NFL anymore. I think that it’s natural to love the competition involved with sports but using that as a weapon to try to change people’s political beliefs is just plain wrong, regardless of what that political view is. I refuse to participate in whatever the NFL has morphed into. It’s sad because, the sport part is awesome. Baseball has always been my real love and I’ll be forced to drop that too if it becomes about politics. I’m not far right and have many liberal ideas but the far left is trying to hijack society and it’s becoming sickening. Anyways, I’m deleting my profile but wanted to thank you guys for the conversations. Most of you know more about football than I do, so I learned quite a bit. I get that some of you may have a snarky reply and that’s fine. It won’t make me or you right.. but I’ve always gotten that. Keep yourselves and your families safe because this world is becoming real ugly, real fast. Peace....

I would ask that you take a second and reflect. I see Pat has already dismissed and stereotyped your opinion, but that what he and others do while feigning aloof. 

The Nation needs healing and I applaud the decision to sing the "Black National Anthem" as a small remedy. If some find solace in it; why should we balk.
