    I agree. It's protesting just for the sake of protesting. Liberals are capitalizing on the power of the 'victim mentality' and 'group-think' and the blacks are being used as pawns. Blacks and liberals are being fed false narratives like "hands up don't shoot" and they're being brainwashed that it's police brutality (and racism in the criminal justice system) if a black is arrested or prosecuted. There is no "cause", and there is nothing meriting protest-- there's just the left's agenda to tear apart the country.

    WTF are you talking about? Black Athletes give more to their Communities in any given weekend that Donald Trump has ever pretended to give.

    That Son-Of-A-Bitch doesn't even give his own money or time ... that's a Fact.

    Name every player in the last five years that have come from an inner city environment that have continued to be involved in gangs after their NFL career has started. That is how you are going to prove that there is a major problem that is only getting worse as you claim.

    "...that's a Fact."...? Really? A "Fact"? Would it be too much to ask, then, that you supply a little verification for what you are so certain is a "Fact"...? Surely it's more than mere opinion....

    How will you be able to ascertain exactly that, "Black Athletes give more to their Communities in any given weekend that Donald Trump has ever pretended to give."? That must be one hell of a crystal ball you have there! Can you tell me what the stock market is going to do tomorrow while you're at it...? Thanks! 8)

    For some reason, angry white guys are unable to respect most Black Americans' ability to determine their self-interests in voting for the party of diversity.

    There is nothing wrong with peacefully exercising one's right to free expression in a respectful manner. When one is a guest in a foreign country, such a personal expression of an American's rights when its flag in displayed would be meaningless.

    I've proved it to any reasonable person. "You can take the boy out of the gang but you can't take the gang out of the boy". Why do you think there was such an uproar and threats of litigation when the NFL said they were going to have experts come in and check players ink for gang affiliations?

    Something the left has wanted for a long time, religion out of schools and patriotism out of America.

    Sure you do, if your boss doesn't like it you will be the first to know.

    Shoe fits.

    You can make any study say what you want it to.

    Remember the study that black folks brains were smaller than whites.

    Or that black folks didn't have the reasoning capabilities that whites do.

    False. Back Americans once supported the Party of Lincoln overwhelmingly, and I respect every American's right to make such decisions.

    False. You can make up whatever you need to, of course. What you cannot do is dictate to Americans how they choose to vote.

    I'd like to read at least 500! A link will work for me and it would at least prove your racist rhetoric, thanks in advance!

    Only you can be an authorized spokesperson for that "Left!" that festers in your noggin, but I was concurring with your wish to stop perverting sports into a political venue. A conformist ritual does that.

    Americans were every bit as patriotic before the song became a routine fixture at sporting events in 1918, in the aftermath of WWI. The Chicago Cubs had the band play The Star-Spangled Banner during the traditional 7th inning stretch, and it elicited enthusiasm from an otherwise subdued World Series crowd. By the third game, it was expected. Not to be outdone, the Red Sox moved the tune from the 7th-inning stretch to the pregame festivities when the Series moved to Boston, and the team coupled the playing of the song with the introduction of wounded soldiers who had received free tickets.

    The playing of the song has become the norm, of course, and an opportunity to show respect for the rights of Americans for which it stands, freedom of personal expresion conspicuous among those rights.

    Who said that? Not moi....

    But, the internet is full of verifiable facts, detailing the actions of Black thugs and criminals throughout the United States, committing everything from "home invasions" and "knockout games" on complete strangers (who are White), to deliberate assassinations and random murders of police officers. Try Googling "street attacks by thugs" if you want to have your eyes opened....

    But we're supposed to view it with sympathy and agreement when society's role models get down on their KNEES to express "solidarity" with people who revere these kinds of monsters, and who at the same time rebuke and reject the very symbols that identify us as a nation?! No wonder a little piss-ant dictator like Kim Jong-un thinks he, too, can get "Whitey on the run"....

    [​IMG]. "If you sympathize with thugs and criminals, you'll absolutely LOVE me...."

    It's an American tradition. Americans like American traditions. They don't like to see millionaires whining about police brutality or the false outrage of racial inequality and using our Nation Anthem to do so.

    They're bulletproof millionaires with no need to look ahead, what have they got to lose?

    That's the attitude of those fools, along with Hollywood and the music industry.
