anyone good enough to play in the nfl is a pretty good player. but I don't think he was good enough to make it controversy or not. he may have lasted a little longer without it though.

and on the if its a distraction thing, different kind of distraction rather than if its holding up the game. it has people more focused and talking about it than the game itself, and it may or may not cost some ticket sells. that kind of distraction.

Yeah, they're good enough, but there's a draft every year that keeps pumping new talent into the sport. Eventually your talent pool is gonna be filled with cheaper, and eventually better, replacements.

My biggest issue with the 'distraction' is that this is supposedly a government-induced issue in the first place. If it's true that the anthem wasn't shown on TV prior to the 'paid patriotism' decision of the government then this whole issue is even more absurd.

Flip that switch. Do what ESPN said they're doing for MNF. Dont show the fucking anthem.

as said I don't watch a lot of football (and when I do the game has usually already started) but years ago I don't recall them showing it in the first place unless it was a big game like the super bowl.
