Which unfortunately means watching games, buying gear, or attending games when that becomes an option.

Will check the box scores after the fact.

Best I can do.

This will be in the rear view next year I believe. Election cycle will pass and society can only obsess over 1 thing at a time.

Same. If my kids so drugs I will love them as much as I do now but I won’t buy them drugs or financially support them where they could then use their money for drugs. Kinda the same thing here

Will they protest and kneel for the good week Baltimore had? What about the shooters should they get their names in the ring of honor for this?

My opinion of those who are in charge of things is much much lower now than it was at the beginning of the year, and it wasn't high then.

They're catering to emotions and when you do that,folks will get pissed off because they're forced to pick a side. Given how badly the ratings have crumbled, we'll see how long it last.

You do know if this thread was on the regular board the politics part would still push it here. Saved a bunch of complaints starting it here.

What does someone kneeling really affect you? Or names on the back of jerseys? I just don't get it and I'm glad I don't.

Is it though? I don't recall seeing anything about it after the game started. Only really remember them talking about Mo and the game.

Impression I got from his post is it was started on the football board and he was saying it should be on the politics board, after which someone moved it.

So there were no giant banners on the sidelines?

Messages in the endzone? Names on the back of player's helmets? That sanctimonious crap about the Browns shirts and their action to end "systemic racism"? That would be the point I turned it off and cancelled my Game Pass. We won't discuss why's and why not's here, but I got Game Pass and paid double that price to a police charity for fallen officers. I'll also be donating the hundreds of dollars we usually spend on Ravens gear to that organization.
