I know I don't speak for everyone; but, I do speak for a sizable percentage. Coach Ferentz, don't let it happen. Free speech only exists on one's own time. You will lose many, many Hawk fans. Learn from pro sports mistake.
Disrespect flag, country, servicemen = boycott

I will disagree with the kneeler, but I will not try to stop them.
I was wondering when somebody would start a thread about this.

Please boycott posting on this board while you're at it.
Good. More room for me and mine.
Hint, op: there's more of us than there are of you. And your kind is slowly dying off. That's the real thing you're railing against.
Oh, and, Trump called soldiers "Losers" and Suckers."
Any comment there?

That's the attitude the NBA had.
I wish football and sports in general would be something to escape the division that we have in political life. I don't begrudge someone kneeling for the anthem, that is their right but it does come at a cost. This "in your face style" that is now a staple of both sides makes us even more divided.
The players can do that to have their voices heard and they have valid points. Fans who don't want to see it and are angered have valid points. This need to make sure everyone knows your opinions has costs, it adds to less working together and more fighting. Charles Barkley tried to make a point about differences in various shootings and the backlash without even considering his points were intense. This is causing a greater divide not a coming together.
I have gotten to the point where I kind of wish that they wouldn't play the anthem before games anymore. I don't give a frick about your political opinion, I just want something where we can escape for a bit and I d

Well, bye.
Delay the coin toss by 1 minute by kneeling in the middle of field.
Hell take a penalty for delay of game by having the whole te kneel the 1st play if each game. I'd support either of them!
I think taking the penalty and kneeling play 1 would get way more attention!

good thing it's getting cold out. the snowflake that is OP won't melt as fast
JFC, go cheer for Nebraska then if you're that big of a snowflake.
This isn’t an airport. No need to announce your departure.
Who are you to say when free speech exists? You don't even know why the players are kneeling.
This is one of those things that I think is better left alone. I’m a cop and I will stand but if someone else wants to kneel let them do it. I don’t really agree with it but as a society we’ve got to start just being offended personally and leaving it at that. This country is too divided as it is.
Again—-our president called veterans “losers and suckers”. Is that disrespecting the flag—or is kneeling?
Yeah!! I'm not attending a single game this year! Who wants to buy my tickets?
This is my position too. I don't necessarily agree with the kneeling, but this has been discussed ad nauseam. Time for people to get over it.
Do away with the national anthem before games. Who gives a shit anyway?

First, you do know that your cult leader, the Trump, has called US military personnel who died in wars "losers" and "suckers," right? Those words from the coward who never went to Vietnam because of an alleged foot issue . . . but who claims today to be the healthiest president in the history of the world.
Second, the US Supreme Court--in an Iowa-based case, categorically disagrees with your assertion.
In fact, the Constitution doesn't stop at the entrance to Kinnick Stadium, a facility owned by a public university. The Supreme Court said so, by a 7-2 vote, in 1969 in the Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent School District ruling. The Supreme Court's majority ruled that neither students nor teachers “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” The Court took the position that school officials could not prohibit free speech on the grounds that the speech might disrupt the learning process.
High school students in Des Moines had been suspended for the heinous crime of wearing black armbands to school in protest of the Vietnam War. And guess what? All you flag-lovers who supported Nixon's war were wrong, and the kids were right. Amazing.
Any Iowa "fans" lost because the Constitution is being upheld in Iowa City and in Kinnick Stadium will not be missed. Perhaps you folks can join your cult leader and take up residence in that bastion of individual freedom known as Russia. You would like it there. Red Square is cool. Although the Trump had better hurry, or he and his family will find themselves moving from the White House to the big house--the one in Attica--where he'll fit in beautifully with the rest of the criminal masterminds there.

TV doesn’t show the anthem before most college games and no one’s going to the games. You could probably watch every single Iowa game and not notice anything. The only way you would know anything is you were actively looking to be offended.
People are way too eager to be offended for other people.

I think if they kneel or if they stand, I want them to beat Purdue.
And were you there to hear the president make these comments about our military? Just a another one of the lies. Keep your opinions off this board.
I keep intending to ignore you but your hatred is amusing. 🤣
This was another lie that didnt have legs and it died on the vine.
I fully support their right to kneel. And I equally support my right to not watch them play if they do.
All lies. If you're that ****ing stupid.....
Do just a little research liar.
Just so I’m clear. You, and people of your ilk, will boycott Hawkeye football, and I’m assuming everything related to Hawkeye football like message boards, if the players kneel? Sounds like a win/win to me.
