2 Player's decision. Alright, sounds like a common sense option. Please choose wisely. Hat tip to Mr. Hunt.

3 This is eminently sensible and clear-headed policy in a time of madness, so I'm going with Bee.

5 I'd rather he told his players to simply act professionally - it's a hell of a lot tougher to criticize that opinion.

8 The obvious thing that never seems to come up is these people are at work. Who else gets to initiate their working interaction with a political statement?

The Jiffy Lube guys or your accountant, bartender or waitress, not so much. I'm pretty sure they have strong feeling about a lot of things too.

Couple that with the glaring fact the athlete class has a cottage industry devoted their every move and moronic utterance on and off field and court.

9 We are routinely told (with glee, by the usual suspects) that social media like Fartbork and Sh*ttah are free to censor any way they please because they are a private business. This is different exactly how? Hmmmm?

10 Seems it's fake. Like most of Rense.com

11 Too late. They showed their, as it were, true colors. Now I'd rather mow the grass with finger nail clippers than watch their strutting.

12 It'd be nice if I could watch football again.

14 Might be wishful thinking though. Still, making those players choose between BLM and their lucrative careers would be fun.

15 B1G also starting up again soon, thanks to Trump and the pressure campaign mounted by the players & their parents

When have they ever acted professionally?
