First of all, why should I care? I never wore Nike, and I figured everybody, alive and dead, has done at a least one thing I don't like. He is just a guy who keeled during the anthem. He didn't burn the flag on feild or kill anybody, he peacefully sat it out.
Second, why is football, of all sports, so important here? Its just another sport! I live in a part of the country where if you don't like football, you're looked at as filth if you're a man. "Only men understand football 'round here. We bring the ladies for company." If you suck at football, that is a statement about who you are as a person. Why the fuck does it matter?
Just fucking stop it.

Nope. Middle of a desert, in a city that's name to fame is Route 66, a song, and a hate crime.

When it's all you see, and when you live where football is more important than Jesus and guns, you get pretty sick of it.
