Unlike the President, most Americans know NFL kneelers aren't protesting the flag

    If I stood on my corporate campus with a sign protesting the police, I'd be on the unemployment line shortly, after a visit from HR=)

    They aren't standing in stadiums with signs. They are kneeling, a pretty low key and respectful way to protest. The only baffling thing is how so many "fans" all of a sudden find this tiny symbol of protest to be the most offensive thing ever done.

    Just deal with it America does not agree with you on this and it's about to be mandatory just like in the NBA, and MLB.

    Whatever. Can you think for yourself? It would appear not.

    It shouldn't be baffling. The vast majority of fans (not to mention Americans) strongly believe showing respect for the symbol shows respect to the country they love and to the veterans who fought for this country, and do not like (hate??) millionaire entertainers dissing their symbol and crapping all over it. If they claim they are protesting something else other than the flag and the country, then they should go protest whatever that something else is (though it is not obvious that they know.) And they should take off their Fidel Castro shirts.

    If a coach takes a player out of a game, he doesn't lose any money (at least not directly). If a player gets fined or suspended for taking a knee, he does.

    Kind of a huge distinction there.

    :roll: I have a classic Trumpbot here...intellectually I mean.

    ...

    Sooooo...by supporting the NFL players right to kneel during the national anthem, that makes me 'hate black people' how exactly?


    And I will ask my question again:

    And where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that NFL players are kneeling primarily in protest of the flag and the country?

    If anyone should be protesting "racial violence"...it's WHITE PEOPLE, as the facts show:

    LOL...nope. Your statement is illogical and nonsensical. I hope you are not so 'challenged' that you do not see this.

    Once again...by supporting the NFL players right to kneel during the national anthem, that makes me hate 'blacks' how exactly?


    I will stop bolding when you answer the question.

    And where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that these people are kneeling primarily in protest of the flag and the country?

    If you're supporting racist animals doing racist things, that also makes you a racist.

    But, we knew that you were long before all this started.

    So NFL players who protest are 'animals' to you?

    You know they are human beings...right?

    So respectfully kneeling == dissing and crapping all over?
    See this is the problem. Your position is completely silly. Before the idiot in chief shot off his idiot mouth at yet another rally (WHY is he still holding pep assemblies? I digress) the reaction to kneeling was mild disdain / annoyance. After the trump speech the reaction was foaming at the mouth outrage. This tells me that most trump loyalist are simply unable (or unwilling) to think for themselves. It also tells me that they are very easily manipulated.

    If you act like an animal, you get labeled and treated as one.

    Funny, I'd never heard about it until he said he didn't want illegal criminals here.
