Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Pat is one of my heroes, and if you want a great detailed account of his life and the events surrounding it, Jon Krakauer wrote a great book about him called Where Men Win Glory.
An amazing individual. He gave it all up for his country. It puts this whole lock out issue into perspective. Here you have millionaires and billionaires bickering over dollars, dollars, and "respect".
It was 7 years ago today that Pat Tillman lost his life in a friendly fire incident in Afghanastan.
While the NFL owners and players are fighting over money, let's remember an individual that knew there were things greater than football and money and ultimately made the greatest sacrifice.
