That's your opinion and everyone is entitled to one. But I don't share it. When on the job you are at the discretion of the employer. We all are. I can't wear an Obama hat or Trump hat to work but these guys can say "screw you national anthem" ?- that's the issue most people have. That and it is un-American, or at least that's the resulting perception which is clearly the intent.

The diff with the Anthem vs a political Trump or Obama hat is its non-partisan. Its American, not left/right, conservative/liberal, Dem/Rep. So not standing for it says you don't like America. That's pretty crass for a group of players making millions of $$. Anyway - the point is if they avoid Politics the XFL can seize the day. I hope they do.

1. NFL seems to have many ways for players to express their feelings about equality. Interesting. I wonder if it will help level things off.
2. NFL seems to have figured out how to play without a bubble. Less people in the stands though. We will see if it works.

I guess we will watch and see how the NFL does without a bubble. I bet the XFL owners are doing the same.

NFL: Bubble? We don’t need no stinking bubble!

I will watch the games on Sunday. See if the NFL plan is holding up.

NFL has no bubble.

The virus will be depoliticized after the 11/4 and XFL will be playing.
