Taking a knee

Doesn't NCAA and NFL have different rules?

Yes... my point exactly.

You showed one guy who I missed a specific comment. And when this thread was started he was not even in the conversation.

One guy? It was the one you responded to with "This is what is so frustrating". The guy you actually said this TO is the one that specifically did not do what got you so "frustrated". You responded to HIM that he takes words and places them in people's arguments.

No offense, but this REALLY isn't that hard to follow.

Yes, I am soooooooooo offended. Maybe I will jump out the first floor window that I am currently sitting at.

Frustration and being offended are two totally different things. I realize that for you this is probably your life to have a discussion here and to come after me, but this is passing time for me. I am trying to finish a project and in-between doing that and some things around where I am located. I take a position to discuss things, not to get upset with people I will never have to work with over what is said here. I think I am good without guys like you and if you disagree with something I do so be it. It is Week 5 year and we have 4 more to go until the post season. Have a great season the rest of the way, I know I will.

Keep up the good work.

Peace

Mmm. Yes, good point. Realized that just now when he introduced a whole new adjective that I never said or implied, and claimed it's different than what I did say. Whatever. I'll take your advice and stop fighting this windmill.

Just for the record I just read this discussion about what happens near the end of the game on another site which involves people specifically from my state (and someone that comes here from time to time as well). The exact same position was stated and the individuals talking are not directly from my area. Several officials said that they tell the defense they are taking a knee and use preventative officiating like I have suggested. You can argue whatever you like but it appears that this is a regional issue where this is accepted in some areas and not in others. Like said long time ago, do what those do in your area and leave it at that.
