Not to turn this into anything other than a debate between Pats & Iggles fans, but to me, whether I agree or disagree with their position, they (and other protesters) are exercising their right to free speech, which is what makes our country great & what our nation/soldiers have fought many wars to preserve.
Unfortunately, it has been turned into a political "football" and twisted to fit various parties' objectives.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with that political stance, a specific commercial, the halftime performance, the cheerleaders' outfits, the toppings the stadium offers on their fries, the play-calling, the refs' calls/favoritism, or the fact that lines for the ladies' rooms are always longer than those for the mens' rooms, we all have the right to watch, turn away from or turn off, etc, the TV. Or - - like thousands of other fans who are somehow not also being dis-respectful - - talk/text/selfie on your phone, go to the restroom, go to the concession stands, fail to remove your hat or hold your hand over your heart, etc. One can't have it both ways.
That said, lets's all enjoy the game! :-)
They have my attention, for all the wrong reasons. This is total disrespect for those who have died for this great country we live in. I have an uncle, a pilot, that was shot down outta the sky above Vietnam and died. So I have a serious problem with this so called protest. It’s despecable and discussing. So they have a right to do this and it’s just OKAY with the NFL? I think the owners need to grow a set and fire the SOB’s . Why? Because it’s so damn wrong!
You are taking their reason for protest out of context. They are protesting police brutality towards african americans. Nothing more. They have come out time and again and clearly stated this, and the reason you state above is nothing to do with their protest. I stand for freedom of speech which this is for a specific reason. Is it largely ineffective? Absolutely, as most/all protests are against the government. But if we don't have this freedom, what is next? Again, nothing whatsoever to do with military - my family has had a number of folks that have served, and I recognize that their protest is not dissing that service.
Congrats to the Eagles and their fans!
Best, SH
Can't expect people who watch Fox News 24/7 to have much logic or room for facts.
Still waiting to hear the Eagles have to win another game... doesn't feel real yet.
Here's the same Eagle shot two different ways.
The problem is with your opinion is they are using the wrong platform. Do they do these so called protest on their own time? Here’s the answer for ya. NO they don’t. That alone speaks louder than anything else.
Im done but I’ll leave you with this. If you watch CNN you are terribly misinformed.

The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Their bosses don't mind too much. The ones that do, handle it as they please. Deal with it.
Jokes on you, I don't watch any news on TV and I don't get my news from any talking heads.
I’m not in the mood to respond.
I’m sorry if I took this too far.
My apologies

Wasn't that GOLF?, starring Shia Lebouf & the Fresh Prince?
