I mean, yo, how is it tenuous? You've elevated the patriotic/jingoistic pregame ceremonies to something approaching sacrosanct status, right?
I am excited about the prospects of saving money from no longer watching or supporting the anti-America football league. Already on the hook for Sunday Ticket this season, but this will be it for me. I know people don't care since I am not an oppressed grossly rich member of society. I am just a struggling forgotten American that the left won't let President Trump try and help.
Yep the same anti-America football league that plays the national anthem before every game and a lot of times has a giant flag the size of a football field.

Lol though not known yet to be as egregious as Clinton.

Yes, of course. I don't think anybody realistically expects NFL stadiums to go empty (or for fans to reject their teams) because players are kneeling during the national anthem.
I'm sure that's part of it, but FWIW, MLB hasn't experienced a ratings decline (the opposite actually).Yes, I think the ratings are declining. I think it's partly the brain damage and political thing, but I'm sure it's also the younger generations not having cable, more and more people flocking to soccer, etc.

Same league who wouldn't allow a player to wear commerative cleats honoring those lost during 9/11. Or a tiny symbol on the Cowboys helmets for the slain police officers. Instead they let players wear shirts that have Castro on them and promote players who hate this country.

Well, of course it's ridiculous ... you've taken it completely out of context and bastardized it in this weird, unrelated way.
The comparison was solely intended to differentiate between the way our society glories the flag versus how we glorify the Presidency.
I was not being literal.

We got 10 pages of anthem kneeling talk, and the $20t national debt thread got 3 replies. Our priorities are so strange

But what's Aleppo. The corrupt pieces of **** got 97% of the vote. So the problem isn't that we aren't getting what we want, it's that we overwhelmingly support criminals being president.

I asked a week or so back and no one responded.
What will war with N Korea look like ?
Experts are putting ground war at 50-50
Nuclear war at 12-15%
Who will fight?
Will there be a draft ?
When some of you voted for Trump -- did you understand this was the path ?
This is the closest we have been since 1962
Dare we click off the names of fellow posters that would be draft eligible ?

Some here voted for a failed casino owner to play high stakes nuclear poker.

Can someone explain to me why kneeling for the flag is disrespectful and the players ought to be required to stand for it or be fired/out of the country (according to Richard Petty)?
Yet, waving a nazi flag, the flag of people who not only murdered a large chunk of a race of people but also killed a lot of people fighting for our flag, is free speech (nothing more, nothing less) and it's someone else's fault when **** goes south?
