When my list of demands is met.

1) Every player stands and respects the flag for the national anthem.
2) Eliminate the targeting rule
3) Change the apparel they wear to a company that makes their gear in the USA

Until then I am not spending a penny or watching anything to do with my alma mater. Also, can someone point me toward the nearest hunting/fishing grounds? I'm trading in my prius.

Signed, bigDgator

P.S. Can you hurry it up so I can get back to watching?

I've not seen this happening in College. I'd hope if it happened in BHG they would be booed off the field.

Don't see it happening but it surely needs some significant work.

Never, these recruits eat up the swag they get from Nike.

Wait, I'm confused.

Why is it when one segment of our population doesn't like something or wants it to change we all need to be open and try to understand their feelings even though we dont understand them but when someone from a different segment makes their concerns known, frick them?

Kind of a double standard dont you think?

Well clearly you won't be watching . Going to be lots of players on lots of teams doing this.

First off, I'm pretty sure that bigD was making more of a joke than anything else

Second off, If someone posted that they were not watching college football because of racism or something similar to the opposite of what the OP was mentioning. I would post the same thing.

Its less about the actual reasons and more about trying to make a threat regarding watching or spending money on CFB that I think is silly.

In other words, if an Ole Miss fan said they were not watching their team until the state flag was changed. I would laugh as well.

A fan making a claim about watching or spending money on college sports isn't the same as a player saying he won't play.

I support both their rights to make that choice and both can be for silly or justified reasons.

You are reading way too much into this. I'm mocking the idea that anyone should care about what a random fan thinks and wants done to fix something so that he is willing to watch again. It doesn't matter what side the person is on to me.

Pretty proud of myself. You mess with the bull...


Although if I have a few beers at the bar and the game happens to be on, I may accidentally see a play or two.


EDIT: Abbott just close the bars again, dammit.

This is why we can't have nice things.

You think the protesters are the only people that get to have stupid demands? It's a free country bub.

CFB teams are in locker rooms for the anthem, which was the case for the NFL until the military paid them to change it in 2009

So it appears that you wont ever be watching the GATORS again. Will you still come to the RANT?

We don't have the players on the field during the national anthem..it's performed by the band prior to the players coming out of the tunnel...or is this just sarcasm?

I'm sure they have been waiting for your response, I'll get back to you on what they say. I'm sure they are very worried about if you watch or not
