Dawg fan here.

Never cared about Ohio State until Justin Fields got a bs pass from the NCAA to play right away after a transfer.
Jacob Eason gets denied but Fields gets a pass...
 
West Virginia Goooo Mountaineers!


And The Broncos, who are unfortunately lackluster this year.


But, this whole covid thing has blunted my enthusiasm for all sports.
 
Fly Eagles Fly. Dominating the NFC East right now hahahaha.

As for my LSU Tigers, save to call this season a "rebuilding" one.

Just nice to have football back.

Traitors to their country, kneeling to the anthem of the country that made it possible for them to become rich.

I haven’t watched much, and haven’t seen that happen yet. If I saw that, I would turn it off. Kneeling is one thing, disrespecting the country is another.

They think kneeling = treason/sedition.

Well, kneeling specifically during the National Anthem is typically intended to communicate disrespect for the USA in some form. I'm not for that, though it isn't treason. It's an attempt to turn the game into a political forum or platform. As big of a Packers fan as I am (50+ years), if it becomes political, it stops being fun, and I stop watching.

It's not disrespectful to the USA. Maybe a middle finger would be. A retired Green Beret advised Kaepernick on this.

Anyway there are millions of people running around violation the Flag Code on a daily basis, wearing the Colors around their necks like capes and having flag swimsuits and such. There's certainly a double standard there.

Yep, agreed with the mistreatment of the flag. As for the kneeling during the anthem, I think it is disrespectful. The purpose of playing the anthem is to acknowledge and celebrate the USA, our freedoms, etc., etc. Hijacking that 90 seconds to draw attention to yourself or another cause is cheap, IMO. There’s 99.999% of the rest of your time where you can express yourself.
