Man.... those were my peak PC gaming days. I was into RPG, RTS, TBS and simulations (racing & flight) mostly for the long hours, SFII and FPS for the short plays.

Loved Dune II. It's one of a handful few RTS that I would replay more than once throughout the years. I like it over C&C/Warcraft, the storylines more mature. But Starcraft was the best for an RTS. But THE strategy game that I go back to most often is X-COM.

To add to that; if these athletes really did protest outside of the sporting event I seriously doubt it would get any coverage AT ALL. I HIGHLY doubt that the media would give it any air time!

This doesn't hurt anyone directly... it's not obscene... they're not delaying game time... I just don't see how it can strike up such controversy. I'm sorry you had to think about the plight of people of color in this country on your leisurely game day Sunday?

We need more people of color in our governing body's if you don't want to see someone take a knee during the national anthem.

Let them have their time and raise awareness.

@ChaosEngine - I understand where your heart is at, but censorship is overrated. I'm sure the kid hears 10x the amount of language online than we ever did in the pre-VoIP gaming days, and I'm positive that the social negativity that one can experience in those settings is far more damaging than any words they might hear.

@shang - Don't have the energy to verify it, but good to know the other perspective. If that is true I'm sure it could also go either way. I.e. "I used to be an asshole, but I know what it's like to get bullied so now I stand up for the underdog".

Either way, nice that some folks would pull together to make the kids day. Wish people would mobilize like this for world-issues, but you've got to make the differences on the scale you're able to affect, I suppose.

Solid, almost takes you back to old school video game days.

Thank you for helping me relive my DOOM gaming days; you're my feature this week...!
