Exercising your right to peacefully protest is the most patriotic thing that someone can do.
Those people died for more complex reasons that just freedom. Sometimes its for oil, money, politics etc.
But if they did die for the flag they probably would be okay with people exercising their right to freedom of expression/speech etc.
There isnt any proof of fans refusibg to watch as a result of protrests/kneeling etc. E.g. the nfl rating were declining for several years prior to the kapernick stuff.
Anyways, the shut up and just play the game mentality is just code for i dont want to hear people protesting a legitimate problem.
Exactly! Fans come to watch sports, not to be lectured on politics
But the Kaepernick stuff accelerated it.
When you do protests like this you risk alienating half of your fanbase.
Thats never a good business model
Contact had the wrong sport. No Football player took the knee during the National Anthem. So how did that disrespect the National Anthem in anyway?
He is confused.
ESPN had the biggest linear audience share, with its 6.5 million audience down from the 7.9 million who tuned in last year, but up from 4.9 million viewers in 2019. The 2021 ABC broadcast averaged 4.2 million viewers and NFL Network 1.9 million, which is up from the 1.7 million average over the last two years
kneeling during a song vs incrresed chance of police brutality, less funded schools, trouble getting a loan as a white person with same income, trouble getting a job with identical resume as a white person, being pulled over for being black etc etc
I know which one is the bigger insult. If you dont i cant help you.
the people who said they would watching either came back or were replaced with new fans.

If you look at before ans after 2016 the year of the kneel the decline did not accelerate....the line does not become steeper
So the nfl was losing viewers before and after the kneel at the same rate as the slope of the line didnt chamge appreciably.
But hey im just linking stats we could just go with the opinions of some random dude on the internet instead....take yohr pick
Also if you look at the ratings youll also see that any loss was temporary as it rose back to year of the kneel levels and in fact has surpassed it (if you look at the years not shown on the graph)
