Its time for us all to stop the fussing and listen to each other.

Trump is a a little too open in his criticism of the protests but I grew up in the 60"s and saw it all.

My dad was in the FBI and back then I hardly ever saw him..

seemed like churches in Mississipi were under attack..

human beings were being hanged because of their color or beliefs.

It was both the worst of times and the best of times.

Do we really have to go thru this again?

I leave you with this..a prayer for peace and understanding..

This was all started by Kapernak and those players disrespecting our country by refusing to stand for the national anthem.

The thing is..

we have been thru this all before.

The saying goes..

if we don't learn our lessons..

we are doomed to repeat things again.

I do not care for what we are seeing..

my football should be just that.

Football.

Not politics.

But it seems again..

its hard.

Understood.

I do not agree with the protests in how its being done..

i do think I am paying for my TV and want to see the game.

Not the game within the game.

Thats all.

Agreed.

But you know something?

Trump has a way of opening sores to make his points.

Our country is in pain over things..

perhaps now we can address issues without
ridicule.

Trump is so very different..but he believes he is correct.

Got to like somebody who isnt afraid to speak about subjects most of us want to ignore.

He gets the dialog going..which I like.

redball--do the fanzone people here ever plan real life get togethers?...a fanzone reunion that would be cool..i would try to come
Thats a great idea..

I live in San Antonio and travel to Dallas often.

It wouldn't be hard and plenty of fun if we all showed up..

think about it.

Don't know if the mods would like it.

Country should treat them fairly then. Would be nothing to protest at that point.

Thanks for the positive thread, even if it won't stay that way for long.

redball-- oh the late 60's early 70's...i wish i could go back for a few days
Funny you say that..

I'm 64 and have for the last 6 months been growing my hair back like I had in the 60-70s..

its a lovely grey now but I got about 12 inches now and I love it again.

Back when I was in Real Estate and mortgages..

had to keep it clean and short.

My second adulthood feels so much better and I like myself in the mirror again.
