    Where in god's name is YOUR neighborhood? That's not happening in any large manner, not compared to the police brutality towards blacks for years.

    No, I don't remember. Was that on his 3rd of 4th try? I'm the problem when the President makes Hate groups and groups that exist for the sole reason of fighting against those groups as equal? Nice to see who you side with.

    The sports bar I was at on Sunday turned the TVs off so we didn't have to watch the stupid protests. Sundays are for football. If you want politics, quit football and run for office.

    ****ing losers need to understand that they are here to entertain us on the field.

    That said, Trump needs to NOT get involved in this. Hell, it had almost fizzled into nothing until he brought it back up.

    Your statement on Trump's comments with regard to McCain prove that you have no interest in the truth. How can one defend their opinions if they have no regard for the truth. QED.

    Finally an owner with the courage of his convictions and his players step forward. The Cowboys are to be congratulated.

    Separately I live in a retirement community with many retired military. They have a big problem with the NFL players disrespecting the national anthem and flag.

    Of course they don't stand up from home. You stand for it when you're attending the event.

    Can you imagine you pay big money for a great symphony and there they are down on one knee with signs saying they are protesting?

    The Civil Rights Movement was 53 years ago... Time to move on.

    I've lived through 68 years of it. But that is not a prerequisite for accuracy as your post illustrates.

    No. Their comments back then put them right in line with the whiny liberals that still infest America's inner cities and other blue parts.

    That's disrespectful. It makes no difference whether you are in the comfort of your own home or at an event. Like I said, fake patriots.

    Most of the people supporting this are non-football fans. Don't hold your breath. But expect a large rating for the Cowboys game tonight, Jones is against the protesting.

    Huh? There was government enforced racism during the civil rights movement. It is absurd to try to equate the two. Totally absurd.

    I would say that >20% of customers is enough to sway policy.

    I'm not going back and forth with you. Patriots at the events stand for the Anthem, period. Nothing you troll about will change that.

    I like this idiotic ploy to say that Trump is ignoring PR's disaster relief efforts. Seriously, lol, when do you guys want to start being considered reasonable?
