    Yeah see getting your legs jacked up for the colors and then these fuckheads won't stand for the flag. NFL is probably the n word at your house.

    She has quite the opinion as a matter of fact. I just asked if she heard about it. I guess she did. I don't think she was breathing while she was letting her opinion be known.

    I like her. She reminds me of me

    I live in WI too, and I didin't watch the game. As I've stated, I'm done, with it all. First I heard about this Packer stuff is here. I did however just watch the local news, and not one mention about kneeling. In fact, not one mention of the game at all... odd. But as mentioned before, the Packers are the only team in the NFL that is owned by the fans, so if they've pissed off fans, you're going to see a sell off of shares. They'll start to feel the heat immediately.

    Packed stadium and no one cares as hyperbole Pete says... there's no indication of that one way or another.

    I really don't give a damn anyway at this point. I'd love to see the whole freakin' mess go broke.

    I'd love that as well. Be an interesting to hear what happens on Sunday.

    I'm usually up pretty early... I'll catch the local morning news, see if they say anything about Packers and kneeling.

    Hyperbole Pete might lie about the situation here in Wisconsin, but I won't.

    In fairness, it probably wasn't the topic of conversation down at the Guyz n' Girlz Nail Salon. I think Petey's got a bit of a different drummer giving the cadence, if you catch my drift.

    Well, two things I know from the fox and friends morning show, the Packers did not kneel, but they did lock arms and the fans in Green Bay were NOT happy. They held up signs saying, "protest on your own time, not my dime," and chanted USA. Several random people were interviewed and they said they thought what happened was disgusting. I would not be surprised now if you see fans selling off LIFE time tickets and shares to the team.

    It's just weird that players are continuing this anti American garbage when they KNOW the VAST majority of fans are against it, and I mean REALLY against it, they hate it. Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you. I hope the NFL goes broke. Not much they could do aside from MAKING the players stand and show the proper respect for our flag and national anthem that would make me watch it again.

    Apparently the Packers and the public affairs director disagree with you. Or, then again, maybe in Wisconsin everyone remains silent until they call and complain?

    Maybe no one is talking about it as it's obvious that you're really not a big NFL fan. It's a story EVERYWHERE. To deny makes no sense, even when the team you are watching states the opposite as you.

    C'mon man, I just woke like 15 mins ago, just started sipping my coffee, I can't be cracking up this early!! Sorry, Pete, it IS funny, and you deserve for saying no one is talking about it.
