And painting slogans in the end zones just may offend folks on the other side .

I don't have a problem with In-N-Out burger putting bible verses on their packaging nor do I have a problem with players putting "Stop Hate" on the back of their helmets.

I really don’t have a problem with either of those also …But what do you think the reaction would be if the NFL painted “Blue Lives Matter”
In the end zone . I would suspect a public outcry and demands that it be taken off among other things said and owners accused of being a certain way ..
When we think of sports ,we think of team and unity ..The crowd pulling for a common goal . So let’s all put remarks up on the field , helmets , and uniforms that folks don’t agree on and probably never will .. All it will do is make different people with different beliefs upset and possibly not want to go ..
Tell me .. What good is that for anyone ? There are other outlets for such debate .
That is the only point I am trying to make .. I guess it’s just too much to ask …IDK …

Alright guys, you both made your points. Time to let it go..... This is all my fault since I posted the link. I was very hesitant, but thought I'd give it a try.
As was said, agree to disagree....

I do agree, they can do whatever they want. I do agree people can do anything from complain, shut up, or turn off if they choose to. I also happen to have enjoyed sports much much more when it was more about the sport than everything else.

I've found I have had to to turn off any sports radio or programming as it's all become about betting and or the drama around the game, not the actual game. They hype machines are out of control and detract from my enjoyment. Having 2 young boys and a baby girl has made watching football more enjoyable for me again. I only really watch the teams I'm a fan of because of time constraints and they make so much noise i've just turned the announcers off and just watch the game. It's brought the enjoyment back for me enough to keep watching. at least for now

Watt’s agents wanted more but TJ told them to stuff it, walked into Rooney’s office and told him they had a deal and then excused himself because he needed to get to work.
