Hello; Is there any place to check which teams are standing and doing right by the flag?
So far it seems as if the NFL has decided to remain neutral on the matter.
I don't know of any off the top of my head but such information shouldn't be too hard to come by via the wizard of google.
It actually seems as if some players on all the teams are making some kind of display or other.
Hello; Well the baseball playoffs start next week. As far as I know MLB does not allow such protests. I normally only watch baseball during the world series but might as well change.
I prefer pro football and am very disappointed with how this is playing out. I watch Washington Journal on C-span in the mornings for political discussions. I watch the various "editorial" news/talk shows for more opinion discussions. I can find such stuff on the internet. There is no lack of places where protests can be made. My guess is these pro football players can get TV time for their causes simply because they are sport stars. I do not see why they have to spoil the time I watch a game to get away from all that stuff for a little while.
I agree with you and I am disappointed as well as embarrassed at this whole mess....That said,I stand by my previous statement that this has been exacerbated by Trump's comments.
A Fox Sports article I read stated that there was a much lower number this week kneeling or sitting than last week.
I heard that FOX Sports has decided not to televise the anthem before the games that they cover.That should be a good move toward putting an end to the displays although ESPN and others will likely continue to harp on the issue.
I made a similar suggestion a few posts ago.

hello; No doubt the anti-Trump folks have used his statements and the position he has to ramp up the protests. That has become pretty much a given with almost anything president Trump says or does.
Thing is I was already upset long before president Trump made his comments. I was bothered last season the now unemployed K.
Yeah,I was too...Trump's got the right to comment on anything he wants but this thing wouldn't be the big deal it is without him.
