‘Goodbye Pittsburgh Steelers, Burn In Hell’: Angry Fans Burn Gear Over National Anthem Protest

Why do you refuse to understand the issue?

It's not about protesting. Protesting is not a topic relevant to this issue. I think everyone who posted on this thread would feel fine if the players protested whatever they wanted to protest. I invite them to protest.

If all they want to do is display their hate for America, they can piss off.

 

Horse pucky, quit lying to fit your bs narrative.
"Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump declared that a major disaster exists in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and ordered Federal assistance to supplement Commonwealth and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by Hurricane Maria beginning on September 17, 2017, and continuing.

Great "newspeak" example!

 

How dare they engage in peaceful protest

 

Their actions prove the message. If they intend a different message,they might try a different action.

 

White cops killing blacks is statistically insignificant. In a country of 330 million, the number of unjustified killings is what? 2 per year, max?

Chalk it up to bad decisions made in isolated situations under a significant amount of pressure. There is no grand conspiracy to "cull the herd" of black youths.

 

No less than nine threads about people kneeling or not kneeling when that song is performed at a sports event. This is ludicrous with the problems this country and this globe has to discuss.

 

Did you really misunderstand me that much?

I meant: 'respecting the flag by disrespecting it' is a great example of newspeak.

 

How dare they engage in peaceful protest in a democracy

 

Too bad the NFL & their owners don't agree with your opinion huh?

 

What can I say? They're morons.

 

Too bad for you they don't care about your idiotic opinion huh?

 

How so?

 

No the numbers are not great however the harm of blacks men unlike white men needing to fear when they see a blue light in their mirror is great.

I can not even dream of the impact on two children of seeing their father killed before their eyes by a nerve cop during a routine traffic stop.

 

The whole country is going to collapse due to our debt; the federal government spends too much money.

But nothing will ever be done on that issue until the collapse occurs. So all we have left are stupid, small
issues like Kaepernick.

 

The NFL & their owners have already condemend what Trump has said.

 

I understand the issue. The issue is you think kneeling during the anthem is disrespecting the flag, thus disrespecting the country which is not true.

 

Except that it is true.

They could easily say something different by simply saying something different.

It appears the demand is that we give tacit approval to their message of hate by pretending it means something else.

 

No one has a message of hate. This is simply paranoia speaking. People, even Trump, are speaking of this kneeling issue as if players are deprecating on the flag, and openly doing it on national television. Conservatives fail to give no real explanation, other than it is disrespecting the country, which it isn't. There's not one middle finger to be had, or one back shown.

 

Hmm...

Nope, not seeing the connection.

 

Or they could continue to engage in peaceful protest

 

Trump is trying to be Moses, who stoned a man to death for picking up sticks on the sabbath. He wants to lynch anyone, especially black guys, who take a knee during the rendition of the racist Star Spangled banner.

 

On behalf of future trump voters, I hope you push your racist star spangled banner narrative

 

Tough ****. The Owner's employees are at war with their customers. The Owners for the most part have picked the wrong side and as revenue drops, these same prima donna pansies are going to be screaming over their pay-cuts, if not striking over contract renegotiation.

Fans stuck with it through strikes, we aren't paying to get the weekly accusation that we are deplorable irredeemable nazi racists by a bunch of race obsessed hectoring millionaire imbeciles that have been hit in the head too many times.

 

And scary to you
