As a life long "Packer Backer" and owner of a few shares in the Packer's organization I will boycott my team's games until ALL of the players stand for the playing of the National Anthem. And, if I boycott my team's games I must also boycott all the other NFL games.

I did not watch last night's game against the Bears which is the longest running rivalry in the entire NFL. The minute that I saw that Kevin King, Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks sitting on their overpaid, fat fundaments I switched to an old NCIS replay.

I agree that the players have the right to protest what they view as "oppression of people of color" (whatever that means) on their own time - just not while they are supposed to be preparing for or playing football for which the team (me) pays them. Let them protest on their own time and I will have no problem with this.
