Letters: Keep politics out of football – South Bend Tribune

USA Todays Jarrett Bell must be Colin Kaepernicks uncle. Why else would he write so much about him, and with total disregard to business? Why would any NFL team sign Kaepernick as a quarterback? He continues to disrespect our great country by kneeling during the national anthem as his form of protest.

The NFL ratings were down last year and owners can ill afford losing more fans while harboring a pariah that can be divisive to a team. I go to movies to be entertained the same as I watch sports. If I do not like an actor, I will avoid his movies. If I do not like a player, I will not watch his team. If the league sanctions him or allows his action, I will avoid it totally. Keep politics in politics and entertainment as entertainment.

Incidentally, if I wear a political shirt to work or if I have a politically incorrect bumper sticker, my place of employment will ask me to remove them. That is their right to safeguard interests, so should the NFL be different? It is his place of employment. He may crusade, just do it off the field and off my television.

I applaud U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski for her tireless work with her constituents and especially her work to help the senior citizen groups. She most definitely does not ever get the credit she so strongly deserves. Go, Jackie.

I find it interesting that our president is inquiring if he has the power to pardon members of his family and himself. He must know that one must be accused of a crime prior to being pardoned. Do you think hes getting nervous?

Am I to believe there are only six train crossings in South Bend that are not in compliance with federal requirements? And that the six are all in a row in one section of town? Stop the blowing of horns!

I agree wholeheartedly with Jim Reabe of Granger that The Tribune should print all baseball box scores, even if they are a day late. It already prints three teams late box scores, anyway. I always spent 10 or 15 minutes every day checking all the box scores, even though I am strictly a White Sox fan. Todays baseball page takes about two minutes to read anything of importance.
