    Wow, what bunch of kneelers! And I recall that half the team didn't accept the White House invitation last year, including Tom Brady.

    @Russ I didn't really mean to go in this direction. One kneeler, IMO, is one kneeler too many. Goodell is allowing players to use their unfair access to the media as a political sounding board. That's not why I watch football. I do the same with music, and everything else. Keep your shit to yourself, or in a proper forum. If you use MY entertainment forum to push your political views, you just lost me and my money.

    On the lighter side, you're trying to sell to a tough crowd. When I did watch the NFL I wanted the Eagles to lose. They're the Eagles. Nothing is going to make them NOT the Eagles

    I'd be more interested in watching the Deadskins play. Then at least I'd have somebody to hate.

    If it makes you feel any better, I don't like the Patriots any better. When just the game of football is on the table, the moral high ground is irrelevant to me. Play football. What they're paid for.

    Too many kneelers on the patriots. Too many on the Eagles. Too many in the entire league.

    Black power!! (Raises fist)

    That’s all good; I don’t care if anyone watches or doesn’t. The protests are very off-putting. My problem was that you were saying you didn’t like the Eagles for having “too many kneelers”, when clearly it’s been going on, even worse, all over the League. You can hate the League, hate the Eagles, that’s your prerogative. Let’s just be fair about why.

    The point was simply that this is a team with a very obvious Christian spirit (not everyone’s cup of tea I know), and their opponent has stolen signals to win. Good vs Evil, if you will. (If you knew Russ’ sense of humor, you would know that is his way). That’s all.

    Thanks for saying we are good people! I fail every day, I’m sorry to say.

    Y'all are welcome.

    truth be told, i trusted a patriots fan friend of mine who posted a picture of the patriots standing and the eagles kneeling, which obviously,based on what you posted, was misleading. I don't know where LongTermGuy is coming from. He obviously didn't do his homework to say go patriots based on politics. I haven't followed the NFL all year so i didn't know one way or the other. I liked Jerry Jones' stance pretty well. the cowboys knelt before the anthem but not during and then didn't kneel again ever. But i have better things to do than watch a league that's a shadow of what it used to be with terrible officiating and then to have players all over disrespecting the flag.
