Who is the "Home Team" in this game? Too bad it can't be scheduled as away games for each team.

Not the International FL.
Dumb. And unessesary.

We got fans across, nice for them to get a chance to go to a Hawks game.

(1 P.M. ET) and 1 P.M. (4 P.M. ET) and lastly the 5:30 P.M. (8:30 P.M. ET) that, and Sunday Ticket makes for a full day and night of watching N.F.L. Football.
Now, if they can fix the officiating and Instant Reply problems and stop the penalties for celebrations and IF the players would take their politics OFF of the field and fro in front of the cameras, especially during the Star Spangled Banner. They can say and do what ever they want to do on their own time, they are really being detrimental to the financial well being of not just their employers but the entire league and the very communities where the N.F.L. has franchises. I think I can say that none of the players who have been taking a knee or otherwise not standing respectively with your right hand over your heart in salute to our flag, Old Glory, that none of these players had it in mind to actually HURT their communities, they would say that they were INFORMING their communities.
That's true, and now you have had YOUR SAY the players need to dial it back because they also need to understand that their actions, or non-actions have actually hurt the very communities they were "informing". The less money the NFL and their franchises make the less money goes in to the plethora of charities that are directly and indirectly financed NFL Charities. Then, if there are less fans in the seats there we be less stadium workers hired to serve those less fans. It goes all the way down the line, many people and many businesses, small businesses depend on these jobs that sports teams generate.
So, like I said, they have informed everyone that communities need to work closer together with their local law enforcement so that problems can be rectified and that can only happen if the people who are being served and protected work with those who are doing the serving and protecting. Can there be reforms? You Bet there can! Are there some people who do not belong in various positions in LEO but would thrive in others?? Training and I mean actually paying for the training and not just going through the motions. The public have to do their part too, when they know of crimes or know people who have committed crimes they need to step forward because by protecting criminals it puts the rest of us in danger. I was taught from the time I could talk that when you inter-act with a LEO it is "yes, sir, no, sir. You also keep your hands in plain sight and you do NOT make any movement, whether to your wallet or your glove box UNTIL the LEO tells you and then that LEO will talk you through it and you go really really slow, make NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS oh, and passengers, you should be sitting still and NOT squiriling around, keep your hands in plain sight and your mouth shut unless a LEO asks you a question. Anyway, a person who does what they are supposed to do and not do what they know they shouldn't do and 99.9% of the time such a person should come out alright and nothing worse than a ticket or maybe even a warning unless they have some out standing tickets and/or warrants out for either their or one of their passengers arrest. But, even then if you just let the LEO's do their jobs and cut out the "lip" and the shear stupidity there would be a lot less people getting into a fatal confrontation with LEO's.
There are some LEO's that would be better on a desk and not in a stress full situation with a weapon in their hand. Some people just shouldn't have that job. Some times it isn't apparent until AFTER they have passed their training and have been certified that problems start to show up. That is when the police working WITH the officer's union or other representative to give that officer additional training. There will be times when it will be apparent that no amount of training will solve the problem(s). When that happens, it will be the DUTY of both the police dept. AND the officer's representative (union) to either find a position within the department they can do or maybe retraining for another city-county job that suited them and everyone better. That person may not like being told that they didn't cut it after all, but it is better to be reassigned than fired. Problems can be turned into solutions if people are willing to work hard to find them.
That is one thing I have not heard from these protesting players, possible solutions to the problems they are protesting about. Maybe there have been and I missed them, I am sorry if I did. Maybe if they concentrated on solutions we might hear their message better.
