It truly is my fault. I think I might need to change the rule in bold to include debates but I try to keep the forum as open and opinionated as possible. It's not an easy task, honestly.

IMO - The real problem with debates is that there are no longer any compromises...no middle ground - Everyone just still to their guns and rails against the other side...accomplishing exactly nothing...except, perhaps, raising everyone's blood pressure.

I look for the day when agreements can once again be reached.

NOW, you can lock the thread!

There are real issues where there is no middle ground. You either give african americans a right to vote or not. Saying 5 count as much as 2 whites as a middle ground for example would be silly..

just pointing out there isnt always a middle ground

People are calling for a boycott of the NFL on Twitter.

Whether you agree or disagree with Kaep's decision is your call. You have every right to boycott for whatever reason, but am I the only one who sers backwards priorities here?

A child abuser in back in the NFL after missing 2014. I shed a tear when I saw the pictures of his bruised son.

The NFL allowed a dog fighter back into the league after he did a prison sentence.

Many players on different rosters have abused their spouse.

A Big Ten school is honoring a coach who knowingly employed a child molester on his coaching staff.

Yet the massive outrage is over Kaepernick not standing for the anthem, something which is legal both under U.S. rules and NFL rules? He didn't victimize anyone. He ruined no one's life.

I personally wouldn't have done it, but I think from a societal standpoint, our priorities are out of whack.

For those who think this country is going downhill and are searching for a reason, might I suggest it's not people peacefully protesting but is in reality -

Literal LOL there. That should be the point on which to lock the thread!
