    It's not minuscule.

    Would you say the same if athletes were pubically disrespecting Islam?

    Doubt it

    Stop being the 'pc' police. Its not up to you to bully others to respond to a waving flag or a song the way you expect them to.

    We're ok with 99% of free speech there's only a few examples that bug us.

    But those are the ones you're focused on. Gee wonder why

    Bully others? Jesus Christ.

    Can you admit that standing for the national anthem is a tradition?

    One thing that's great about this thread is all the projection from the left

    They've called us crybabies and whiners and free speech deniers and snow flakes. one leftist even called me an SJW for god's sake.


    They're really just listing all the effective insults that we've used on them.

    ....youre telling me that Bush was accused of disinciting the Golden State Warriors from a White House visit and that he called some athletes "son of a bitch?"

    Seriously.

    sure it is. Its a beloved tradition. Its very 'pc' to honor beloved traditions with regard to the anthem and the flag.

    Again, you undercut Trump's argument about race. And, pun intended, NASCAR is a stupid race based sport.

    As for most people agreeing with you, I am simultaneously skeptical of that claim and I would point out that a majority of Americans also did not like MLK or his protests not did a majority like the Vietnam protests at Berkeley. "Most" Americans have the capacity for bigoted and moronic views.

    I do not know if I would call white liberals uneducated. Bitter, yes.

    What I notice about the timing of Trump's remarks, is that they coincided with yet another grandiose flop for the GOP on repeal and replace. The world is talking about these football players and where they put their knees, instead of either the content, or the result of the Graham bill. Cnn headlines trumpeted the new culture war, instead of the policy debate and the newest failure of the GOP and their quasi-leader to deliver on their campaign commitment. .

    I am not lying to fit my bs narrative, hotshot. He should have done this immediately, but at least he did it, and I applaud him for it.

    CNN has been discussing this subject ad nauseam and it has been continually on their front burner. I am satisfied with the latest flop.
    The campaign promise was made under false pretenses anyway.

    Trump isn't smart enough to play anybody like an anything. He just stumbles along.

    If you tried that at my grandparent's house, you would have got your ass tanned.

    The fan will all be back in their easy chairs by playoff time, if not sooner.

    Trump is not responsible for the failure of the GOP congress under McConnell and Ryan so he does not have to cover for them

    The Washington establishment including the career republican politicians would rather fail than have trump succeed.

    That works both ways

    Hopefully the black players will stop acting stupid during the playing of the national anthem which is what is making fans angry

    I say it a lot too. But what I learned decades ago from my executive father was conduct your business with class and dignity and people will respect you and want to make you look good. Never stoop to a classless ignorant tirade. So while I say things like "sons of bitches" around my friends and family (and online), I would never be stupid enough to say it to people I am trying to do business with. I would guarantee men like Rex Tillerson would never do it either.

    Trump lacks class and brains.

    Sooooo...

    ...you finally admit that Trump is actually just one of US and the only difference was/is that he is a very successful businessman.

    Yes, he's one of you. He isn't one of the adults in any business room, he conducts himself like a hateful child. Like you, I suspect.
