It's about losing something, not about political disagreement. I frankly don't care what's up all the athlete's and singer's and actor's collective rectums. Just don't care. Don't care if they're pro this or pro that. Anti this or Anti that. Love the prez or hate the prez. I don't care. That's the issue. I don't care what they think, anymore than they care what I think. I completely laud them for their inspired protest of . . . whatever. I don't care. The world would be a more livable place if more people, famous and not, would stand up and peacefully make their point. So, for me, it's not about whatever issue is being raised. I'm very happy to hear all sides of any issue. It's the fact that I bust my rear end all week long, I vet out the issues of the day to the extent I choose, in my own head and among family and friends, and the entire purpose of me sitting down to watch UConn or a Pats game or the random Cavaliers game is . . . to be entertained. It's that simple. When they insist on inserting politics - of any kind - into my entertainment, it's less entertaining for me. On the other hand, I find the demise of professional sports in this country to be long overdue and refreshing, so I'm enjoying watching the NFL eat its own legs. [/QUOTE]
