    I’m watching the Rox Mavs game and they just showed all the players and coaches kneeling at the beginning of the game. I know some Trump supporting friends who stopped watching the NFL because kneeling and are now not watching MLB because so many players were kneeling. I am curious how many here won’t watch sports anymore because of kneeling.

    This is an anonymous poll so you dint have to reveal yourself if you dint feel comfortable.

    I will stop watching sports because it’s boring without a crowd. But right now, I am watching the Rockets.

    Why would they play the Chinese anthem? Surely you're being facetious...

    Only a matter of time before they stop even having the national Anthem at games. The world is rapidly changing. Ceremony and tradition for the sake of sentiment no longer has much value.

    Pretty soon the only sports they’ll have to watch are bowling and beer pong.

    Do people at home even pay attention to the national anthem? As a TV viewer, it has no impact on me.

    In football, unless it's a playoff or special game, like Thanksgiving, they rarely if ever show the anthem.

    They rarely show it in baseball unless it's the playoffs. Same with basketball.

    If you're at a game (and everyone is so patriotic) all eyes should be on the flag, so how can all the flag respecters see anything else?
