We will be cancelling our season tickets tomorrow. We will not allow our American anthem and flag to be disrespected and support the effort in any way. There were millions of ways the players could have voiced their unrest and asked for a forum. But they chose to spit in our face. I could never face another military veteran again if I continued to support such a farce.
Jags - We will miss you. Good luck.

I had a friend tell me the same thing yesterday, and after some soul searching, this is how I feel about it.

Ever since this kneeling stuff started, my worry was that this would harm the Jaguars eventually.  There  are two ways to avoid the harm I foresaw, either the players stop kneeling, or the fans avoid overreacting.  I think you are overreacting.  Personally, I don't like what the players are doing, but I love football about a thousand times more than I  dislike what the players are doing.

The other thing is, if I were to react to this situation by giving up something I love, the Jaguars, then I am allowing those kneeling players to control me and drive my decisions. I don't think we should allow anyone's actions to drive our reactions like that. I'm not going to allow a kneeling player to make me give up football.

What you do is up to you. I respect your decision and I hope you change your mind.
