    I find that amusing since her hero is known for being anything but civil to others.

    Or how about

    This is why no one cares what liberals say since their hypocrisy is always worse than what they accuse.

    For starts, I wasn't commenting on her speech :) and secondly, if your going to attempt to insult me at least learn to spell the insult and learn it's meaning ;)


    downtrodden
    Oppressed; tyrannized.

    Isn't that what you and the left around the country are claiming and warning of with the election of Donald J Trump :roflol:

    They could hang a burning effigy of Trump during a commercial break, and you'd all still watch football.

    A cry video and suicide are hardly comparable. . And yes after 8 years of in your face obamafanaticism I LAUGH OUT LOUD and will continue to do so as long as it's funny, my guess at least 4 years.

    Viewership is already down thanks to the nonsense of some not standing for the National Anthem , this does not bode well for the NFL

    Despite him taking part in it previously. A bit hypocritical to tell everyone to "shut up and act" when you've stuck your foot in the political waters yourself.

    Shows have some say in what commercials are aired during their air time because the commercials will be associated (rightly or wrongly) with the show.

    Feel free to go thru Trumps twitter over the years. All he's done is whine and cry

    There's a loophole to getting around that... Nobody will care if you judge skin by its color as long as you vote, or claim that you vote democratic.

    First of all, there's multiple reasons why viewership is down, from mediocre game play overall, bad officiating, an unusually interesting presidential election, to viewers cancelling cable in favor of Netflix or Hulu, and watching the games through online streaming. To claim low-ratings solely on National Anthem stances is insane.

    But let's see how things pan out next weekend. If ratings drop even more, maybe you have a point.

    I've noticed that over the pat 8+ years. From the time I can remember (80's), it was always Al and Jesse that pulled their hair out over unwarranted racial actions. They would make things up and roll with it. Since 2008, the entire left wing has done it.

    Thanks for the eye rolling news. :yawn:

    It peaks my amusement every single time I see it, and it keeps getting funnier and funnier.

    Sounds like crying to me.

    I don't think you need cable to view any of the NFL stations besides NFL Ticket or whatever it's called. But ABC has been tanking for a while. I think it has more to do with the negative coverage of Trump mixed with PC programs, etc. Their shows are down anywhere from 8% to 40% in viewership.

    It certainly impacted me, I didn't really do anything the first couple of times I saw it but then the dam TV camera's were making a point to single out the guys protesting and I got fed up and turned the game off a couple of different times.

    I did watch two playoff games but I don't recall seeing anybody sitting or kneeling otherwise yes I would have moved onto something else. Not that the numbers are large but i've spoken to at least 3 people that stopped watching completely simply based on those events

    You guys will whine and cry over anything, I swear I have no idea how to not hurt the delicate sensitivities of the right. All I see is a commercial for a sitcom. This is a good time to bring up political correctn, since that's what you are asking for.

    You might need cable depending on where you live and what team you want to follow.

    Okay, so we can add these 4 people to the long list of reasons why the NFL has been suffering this season.

    Just like normal Americans are laughing at the snowflakes whining because some criticize trump. Start whining threads. Comical and yet sad. Most are grown adult working men and they are no better than the college kids they complain about.

    Except for the snowflakes in this thread, all upset about a commercial.

    I am pointing at them for crying about what they laughed about for 8 yrs. A pathetic lot of grown men they are.

    Eh, I'm not gonna cut off a game over one minute of a protest that most people will promptly forget about once the game gets to quarter 2.

    I think you can add a hell of a lot more than 4. Tons of ex military or familes of ex military take a harder stance than I do.

    I generally DVR them anyway and bang them out in 45 minutes so I can skip over 75 commercials and agonizing minutes of them just standing in a huddle. zzzzz

    Not what you posted, which was not specific to Disney. Remember folks, never engage a leftist/statist on any topic without a -written record- of what was said.

    I didn't see any anti-obama sitcoms... Matter of fact, Satan in the mini series "The Bible" was changed because he resembled obama and people cried and complained about it.
