I want to watch football Ronn, but the players have a right to their political beliefs too, and if I don't wan't to listen then I can be mature about it and stick my fingers in my ears 
. Having a different belief though doesn't make them Un-American though - ugh, unless it was Australian Rules football of course.
Three cheers for the Adelaide Crows for beating the West Coast Weagles tonight

The point with my examples about football players is that it's fine for them to express their views as well, but I think people would be quite upset if they stopped the game to do so. Before or after the game or anytime they're asked is fine, but stopping the game is inappropriate because football should be about football. That's the way I feel about the Grammy Ceremony, it should be about the music. If an anti-war song won, then by all means it would be germane.
You are absolutely right that having a different view doesn't make them un-American. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
