Do it on your own time. Want to kneel? Make sure it's worth it first of all and then do it on your own time. I don't want to see that B$ on tv. I've pretty much cut out Sports but still like to relax and watch a competitive game. To be perfectly honest the last 5 years I've watched the NHL more than any other Sport...COMBINED. I just don't have the time to devote to the pixelated box. That said, when multimillionaire athletes feel the need to tell you more than what deodorant to use...turn off the box.
That's what I'm doing. Not out of some boycott...because I'm bored with the blurred attack. Don't have time for it. Have a good Super Bowl...I didn't watch the last one either!
it is a diversion for me, and I'll move on from the politics and watch it for sport enjoyment.
I may be wrong, but other than a few special pregame military salutes, I don't recall the anthem being televised much if at all for several years now...lost advertising revenue opportunity I always figured. Money over Country for the owners...yawn.
And I just gotta tell ya Doc, you missed the greatest comeback in the history of Super Bowls last year!
