Chip is sick and has some cough drops, so please excuse his
raspy and weak voice. Chip and Cern didn’t address the NFL Kneeling
Protests last year, but that time starts now. Trump is triggered by
these NFL players protesting during the National Anthem. Chip and
Cern weigh in, call out some hypocrites and give their thoughts on
the futures of the protests.
Chip and Cern both agree that the protests are valid and
approve of them so to speak. Players coming out for the National
Anthem is a new thing that was paid for by the military to increase
enlistments in the military. Chip has a coughing fit that nearly
renders him disabled.
For all the people that are up in arms never take of their
hats or stand up in the restaurants when the National Anthem is
being played. The NFL was trying to pass a rule saying that there
would be fines or suspensions for teams that didn’t have all their
players out on the field standing.
Cern breaks for a mini-Trump rant.
Chip and Cern both think that this will be a continued problem
this season. They both believe that about 90% of the people just
want to watch the game.
Chip and Cern both believe that the people who are up in arms
about the protests are not mad at the actual protest, but the fact
that the people who are protesting are people of color standing up
against “the man”.
Chip wants to see any team that imposes fines on players that
protest, rise up as one and all kneel or protest and sit
out.
Chip and Cern discuss some of the issues with the decline in
viewership with the NFL.
