Jimmy and Dee should be worrying about putting a more-than-pathetic team on the field -- not reacting to the political shitshow in Washington. This issue will take the focus off their (yes, their) ineptitude.
Hue is 1-18 as a head coach. I have no interest driving 3 hours to Cleveland -- spending a couple hundred on brunch -- paying to watch players disrespect the flag -- then watching the shitshow surrounded by visiting team fans -- then driving home.
I'm officially boycotting home games.

No one's disrespecting the flag, but everything else is spot on and what I've been telling you for years.
I doubt you stick to it though. If Shurmer didn't break you I don't think anything will.

If the Browns were good -- or if the protests were non-political (gun violence, domestic violence, responsible fatherhood, etc.) -- I'd probably be OK with the protests.
But, the minute the protest turned anti-Trump AND started attaching political correctness to the debate -- they lost me.
Quite frankly, I'm a single-digit handicap golfer and would much rather spend October Sunday afternoons golfing that watching the shitshow.

Against dirty cops getting away with murder. That's pretty apolitical, IMO. I don't think any party endorses cops breaking the laws they are sworn to uphold. Trump interjected himself because his administration is failing, and this was a good way to distract and rile up his voters.

While the entire Steelers team stayed in the locker room for the Anthem with the exception of left tackle Army Captain Villanueva who served three tours in Afghanistan. He came out and stood with his hand on his heart for the National Anthem.
That is respect. I find it very disrespectful to show a sign of protest during the Anthem but they have the right to do so.

Stop hiding behind this bullshit. Regardless of what you are protesting, you are disrespectful to the flag. Trump needs a filter but what he said was not wrong.

Trump threw gasoline on a volatile situation. Bad! In fact, the entire protest thing appeared to be going away. He deserves much of the blame -- but the owners/players, sadly, politicized it.
How can the NFL possibly walk this back and bring back disenfranchised fans on both sides. They've lost the snowflakes and the deplorables. Ugh.

I just talked to an employee (black) about the situation. Very interesting conversation. Diehard Raider fan that has yet to watch a game -- just disinterested in the game itself. He thinks, right or wrong, that this protest is going to lose the casual, game watching fan.
The Browns are going to go over-the-top with patriotic themes vs. Bengals. Big flag. Honoring wounded warriors, cops, and active military. Probably have a "can't we all get along" production on the video screen dripping with patriotism.
Then, the players will once again kneel or sit. Bad!
Then, the Browns will shit the bed vs the Bengals in front of a stadium teeming with Bengal fans.

It wasn't going away. Trump could have stated his feelings better that's for sure but no matter what he said the left and the media would have spun it to fit their narrative.

Trump shouldn't have gotten involved. The players shouldn't have reacted to Trump. I'm not talking about it anymore.

Yeah. Why don’t they do something really helpful like tweet insults at Puerto Rican’s?

You think that 50 year old woman should just unload and distribute potable water for 3.5 million Americans across an island with devastated roads all by herself?
Or maybe the President could take a few minutes out of his busy day of golfing to order some troops down there to help out?

Are you really that stupid? We have thousands down there. Hell we had to send truck drivers to unclog the ports so more supplies can be unloaded. For whatever reason the Puerto Rican drivers aren't doing it. I've heard different reasons from they can't be reached via phone to they are on strike.
Keep towing the resistance line though if it helps you sleep at night.
