1-1, I left points on the bench this week but it wouldn't have made a lick of difference to the outcome. Well played Shamanalix!
At some point I'm gonna have to learn that the answer to the question "Should I start <insert name here> or Tevin Coleman?" is always "Tevin Coleman" 😛

So I am working on my Fantasy Football roster this week and I am struggling with who I should play. Did he take a knee or did he not take a knee? I want to be politically and socially correct, but I don't know what that is anymore. I think Jesus would tell me that it doesn't matter as long as I respect and love my neighbor and leave the judgement to our Father. Thank God GO RAIDERS

I think in a game where we're encouraged to look the other way about players with a history of domestic violence and other serious issues just because they put up points (not that I see any on your roster, just making a general point), whether or not a player stood for the anthem maybe shouldn't be that big of a deal?
But then I'm Australian, and a good chunk of us don't even know the words to our anthem 😛
As an aside, I saw a comment earlier today from someone at Fox saying that we probably wouldn't see any anthem protests this week anyway because they were going to go back to their usual broadcasting process... which is to use the anthem as an opportunity to run commercials. Again, I'm Australian not American so I clearly don't understand the nuances here, but it seems passing strange to me that players taking a knee is considered a sign of major disrespect, but replacing the anthem with Doritos commercials isn't?
Anywho, back on topic - thank you thank you thank you Larry Fitzmagic for that game-sealing TD in overtime!
I know the first verse of our anthem and thats it, and just to add to your comment Oz, I would put it at over 80% of the population doesn't even know that there are more than one versse.
Like I said to kidkvno1 on FB about this issue, you will find more Aussies stand to attention and even salute a beer more than our flag or anthem.
😂
To the Americans reading this I just want to add that I am not kidding.

He's really, really not kidding. Also a good chunk of the population thinks we should replace our current national anthem with a song about a sheep thief.
I'm aware our anthem has a second verse, but I've got no idea what it is. If really pushed, or singing along with someone who already knew the words, I'm pretty confident I could probably get through the first verse. Don't think I've actually sung it since primary school assembly though.
