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

    Always a good thing to find evidence that a majority of Americans are smarter than donnie. The NFL keepers did not start, and are not currently, protesting or even disrespecting the flag. They started off by protesting systemic police brutality that was disproportionately aimed at minorities and, once donnie threatened the jobs and livelihood of those willing to expose themselves by kneeling, the protests expanded to a showing of solidarity.

    It will be interesting to see how many were willing to kneel this week, certainly it will be fewer than two weeks ago, but I predict it will still be more than the number who were kneeling before donnie opened his trap.

    And regardless of what those whiny millionaires in football uniforms do this week, or for the rest of the season, I won’t be providing them with a viewing from my house.

    The Trump Derangement Syndrome is so strong that clueless libs are defending the NFL, an organization they despised just two months ago.

    It’s hilarious really.

    Well, in that case, they can kneel all during the game on the sidelines and NOT during the anthem. Otherwise it's about the flag and anthem....

    I know what started this, and it was protesting a flag and country.

    “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color.”

    They could have protested by joining BLM, shutting down traffic in the street or rioting, looting and burning like other liberal types. Instead they intentionally chose to disrespect the flag, anthem and every patriotic American. Why are you attempting to remove their accountability for their intentional actions?

    Of course, at this point, neither the flag nor the anthem deserves respect as long as Trump is POTUS.

    Trump has sullied any sort of respect for the flag (most likely for generations).

    It is a good thing that burning the flag is protected speech.

    With an UNPREPARED RACIST MISOGYNIST IMBECILE (like Trump) as POTUS, Americans have good reason to burn the flag.

    Meanwhile the Trumpettes who were die-hard NFL fans are now "protesting" the sport they love because of a god worshipping complex

    The only liberals that despised the NFL 2 months ago are the people that despised the NFL and were also liberal.

    As you have said previously, there is never an appropriate time for black men to protest.

    And with that anti-NFL protest, so goes the money.

    And as the money goes, so goes the ability to pay those fat NFL players contracts.

    The players are cutting off their nose just to spite their face.

    This all started while Obama was president. Guess it didn’t deserve respect then either.

    You are the one, if I remember correctly, who said that NFL players are always representing their teams and owners. And that they should not protest while on the clock. I have also asked explicitly asked when is the appropriate time for a back man to protest and you said on their own time.

    Protest on their own time + never on their own time = never an appropriate time for a black man to protest.

    But that won't stop Lying Donnie from doing what he does best: LIE. Commie Donnie respects the flag of Communist China since he
    rather have his products manufactured in Communist China.

    If Americans are divided regarding their history, their flag, their anthem, what unites them?
    I think that the Balkanization and separation in different states is the only solution. I hope that this process will go peacefully.

    When Blacks eventually get their own state, own flag, own anthem, write their own history, then they can teach their version of history to their own black children.
    And in this case there will be nobody to blame, if their own black state becomes a shithole, like most black countries.

    But White Americans can in this case still be proud in their white ethnostate of their old and once great America, their flag and their anthem.

    Is there any evidence to prove that Trump thinks they're protesting the flag?

    Apparently you don't read your own posts from less than an hour ago.

    You said:


    And then you twisted your own thoughts to say:

    You went from accusing me of saying there is never a time for blacks to protest to disagreeing with employees protesting while on the job and representing their employer.
