This just about perfectly explains how I feel. I could care less what any athlete or musician says about anything that is not directly related to their craft. If it gets too loud, I'll actively seek other forms of entertainment, otherwise it doesn't matter to me what they legally do. They can protest the police shootings however they choose, makes no difference to me. People are disrespectful in all kinds of ways and the best way to deal with them is to ignore them.

I agree that police brutality of all sorts needs to be looked at and addressed and so I suppose I agree with the basis of the player's reasoning for being disrespectful during the anthem. I can't say for sure though because I actively avoid the topic, I'll change sports radio if they start talking about non-sports.

This thing is getting too loud and it's a media issue, not the players. The players have made the anthem their medium and they answer questions when asked, but ESPN inserts it far too often in their programming. I came home for lunch last Monday and all four ESPN channels were talking about it. I just wanted to hear Herm's take on a couple of the games, but you can't tune in to ESPN anymore if all you want is sports talk.

Well, maybe we need to be proactive about it. The only way that they stop disrespecting the flag...errrr...protesting is when they have nothing to protest.

So do what I did. Call the mayor's office and tell them that, as a concerned citizen, you'd like them to stop shooting black folks.

Mayor Sylvester Turner - Telephone: 713.837.0311 - email: sylvester.turner@houstontx.gov

I had to leave a voice mail, but I'm certain someone will listen to it and take it to the mayor to make it an official policy. :ok:

Hey now, there's no protest going on about shooting white, brown, yellow, and blue folks. They need to get their own protests going instead of squeezing in on this one. Although, I'd really hate to see one of the dudes from the Blue Man Group get shot. I really enjoy their shows.

d'oh! I forgot any of them were left. I've got a soft spot for the original natives and their historical mistreatment, so I'm making an exception.

I'm calling Mayor Turner's office right now to add that to my previous voice mail! :phone:

Just the beginning of the season and he's already been on both Injury Reports with a hamstring and a groin strain. He's already had a sports hernia repair last preseason........another could be in Foster's future.

Arian's career....

Foster tried to come back from his hamstring Sunday. He had 3 carries for 3 yds and re-injured his hamstring, leaving his presence in the next game in question.

That's dude was great for a few years. Still best RB texans have ever seen

I have a feeling we'll be saying that for a while. A special player, he dominated in his prime and I wouldn't take any one over him when he was really in his prime. It always hurts because Andre and Arian were truly great players but their legacy takes a hit because they never went deep into the playoffs. Was a joy to watch him though.

Asked why former #Dolphins RB Arian Foster is retiring, it’s because his heart couldn’t take another rehab, even for a minor injury. Wow.

Isn't it a hamstring injury? He has dealt with those for years, which makes me think it's not entirely minor. It's a lingering problem.

No doubt. Arian carried the Texans on his back for all of our playoff wins. He rushed for over 100 in just about every playoff game.

man he had some huge holes to run through

The important thing is he had the patience and the vision to know those holes would develop (unlike Blue) and the speed to exploit them
