Coach Rab Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Didn't watch a single game this weekend for the first time in I don't know how long. Don't think I'll start back anytime soon either. Not interested in seeing millionaires disrespect those that have served and those that have fallen that gave them the opportunity to be a millionaire from playing a sport. Can't wear a certain logo or anything without getting a $10,000 fine but disrespecting the flag is A OK according to the NFL. Ravens and Jaguars stood for God save the Queen but took a knee for our anthem? Done with them. Hope like hell some high school kid doesn't pull that poop.

DaveTV1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm not burning anything that I haven't already burned. I have a lot of memorabilia from the 90's back, but I don't in the past 25 years since I burned my Romo jersey. My team hasn't offended the flag in my opinion yet, and even Caesar acknowledged that. https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-cowboys/cowboys/2017/09/27/donald-trump-tweets-kneeling-cowboys-rise-national-anthem-represents-big-progress-america I've seen/heard people burning memorabilia from the 60's, and we're not just talking about jerseys but some pretty expensive stuff. This is going to hurt the NFL for a few years if not more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Only NFL thing I own is my Dak jersey no way in hell I'm setting that ablaze. I cancelled my Sunday ticket last year.The only games I watch are Cowboys games so it was a waste of money. I'll stick with getting my football fix on Saturdays...

Mr. P Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-27/jpmorgan-suggests-bet-against-cbs-amid-nfl-anthem-controversy JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Shawn Quigg cited NFL jersey sales to see whether fans are souring on the sport. “NFL-related revenue is not trivial to CBS, and any decline in NFL viewership related to the National Anthem debate may negatively affect future results,” he said in a note to investors Wednesday. “We view this weekend’s viewership results as a cleaner proxy in determining whether the Anthem debate may be a larger issue for the NFL, and CBS, or not.” Quigg noted that the jersey of Alejandro Villanueva -- the only Pittsburgh Steeler to stand on the field during the national anthem during last weekend’s game -- was the best-selling jersey in the hours following the player boycott. “If one uses player jersey sales as a proxy, fans appear to favor an on-field standing presence during the Anthem,” he said.

Good for them! Problem is this move may only hurt their business. I'm sure the NFL will not be affected nor will they care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarthDawg77 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm Not burning anything, because I only have a Cowboys jacket, & they stood during the National Anthem, as did the Cardinals, so I'll hang onto it unless they do something stupid like The Rest of the NFL....

I've never understood anyone going to a restaurant to watch an game. I can understand a sports bar like BWW and others, but most restaurants don't even have TV screens in them except the bar area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Cowboys and Cardinals did ... Cowboys knelt before the anthem then stood... although I thought that was more respectful to this country than the ones that looked like chumps sitting on the bench. Hell, what Pittsburgh did was classier than the Saints guys who sat on the bench... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they were avoiding the divisiveness of this whole political ordeal. You look at teams like the Saints who did not look like a team... half sitting, half standing... That does not look like a unified team. Then you have the Panthers, whether they put their hand over their heart or not, they stood as a team. I like and respect that. It was a team standing as a unit. That's why i had no problem with what Dallas did or what Pittsburgh did... what they did, they did it as 1... whether they agreed or not.

It's not a protest, it's a desperate cry for attention to be on the headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiding in the locker room is the worst response of all. Scared to come out and show respect for the flag and the national anthem is pathetic ... grow a spine, show some leadership .... worse than taking a knee .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
