America's Team fails to live up to its name

No matter what excuse the NFL uses for doing it its still disrespect for the flag and the nation the flag represents

 

Why, because YOU say so and YOU are the one who decides fir EVERYONE what is Respectful?

Who are you and who gave you the Supreme Power over someone else Rights?
What makes you so Special?

 

Last year I only recall Kaepernick

This year a few more players but not teams

Sunday and Monday it was the entire NFL

And I anly blame those who are protesting whatever excuse they may gvie for disrespecting the flag

 

You weren't a football fan last year. If you were, you would have known it was more than Kaepernick.

You still aren't a football fan, but you are pretending to be out of loyalty to President Trump.

 

I am the one who decides for myself how I will react when others disrespect my flag and my country

 

Who disrespected the Flag or Country?

Every time an Unarmed American Citizen is Shot and Killed by a Government Employee who is paid through Citizens Tax Dollars, is an affront to America and what is stands for, and of course All American Symbols and let alone the American Constitution and Country.

Or are American Human Lives not more important that a piece of cloth you can get at any 7/11

 

The freedom of expession as you call it was technically legal

As is the reaction by the fans to such rank stupidity by turning off the NFL

 

The piece of cloth is important as the symbol of America

the black players are mistaken about America being a racist nation that mistreats black people

Unfortunately or fortunately as rhe case may be being stupid is one of our constitutional rights

But dragging their political beliefs into sports is wrong and divisive

 

The NFL's decline began last year with Kaepernick - when Obama was President.

“In a Seton Hall Sports Poll released Thursday, 56 percent of those surveyed said they think fans are watching less because of the stand some athletes are taking by not standing during the national anthem.

"It is somewhat remarkable that the impact of the national anthem protest seems to hold, given that the action occurs pregame and isn't even televised," poll director Rick Gentile said.”

ESPN, Poll finds fans think anthem protests hurting NFL ratings, 10/16.

Trump is just hammering the nails in the coffin of a failing corrupt crony capitalist boondoggle.

 

Dissing The Star Spangled Banner is bad business - and bad politics.

 

I recall only one player last year and he was dropped from the team and not picked up by any team this year

 

But what is your point?

The entire Cowboy team demonstrated against the flag

I am responding to what my team did on Monday night

 

Respectfully, you're wrong.

There are far more important things in other people lives than respecting a symbol that doesn't return the respect.

I am fortunate enough to live in an area where I'm not constantly harassed by Law Enforcement, but I do know areas that do constantly harass Black People, and I avoid those area's and I definitely don't respect those people or their fake "Serve and Protect" Symbols. They're Symbols mean nothing, because they don't deserve respect.

Resect is a two way street ... be grateful that you don't have to deal with the traffic coming the other way, but that doesn't mean other don't.

 

Political protests do not belong is sports

 

So in other words, you weren't actually watching and following football last year. Because anyone who did knew it went beyond Kaepernick.

Neither does the President of the United States.

 

Say who?

Who made that amendment in the constitution?

 

I asked you this before

Being black how is it you are still alive at your age?

The racist white cops have had plenty of chances to add you to their trophy case but havent

Particulary after you have beaten some of them up during a traffic stop or them just seeiing you standing on a street corner

How do you get away with fighting with the cops but your black brothers do not?

 

Sez me the other fans who USED to watch the games either on tv or at the stadium

 

Nobody said it was, it's where when and why that determine that.

 

This is an ignorant question and shows you don't have any diversity in your world, or do you actually believe all Black People are alike, live in the same place and have the same life experiences? I think you're watching too much TV and Reading the same statistics over and over again.

 

... and YOU get to determine that right? Because you know what best.

IT's all about you.

 

Remember, you are a Fan, you're not part of the Game, you don't own the Team.

I didn't like Hobby Lobby, not just for their political beliefs, but because they never had what I was looking for. So I stop going to the Store ... the Store lived on without me ... and I don't care.

I don't consider the locking of arms or taking a knee as signs of disrespect. Flying the American flag up side down on a boat is not a sign of disrespect. All of these things are nothing more than a S.O.S., a cry for help. Just as the ship at sea is in trouble our country is like a rudderless ship heading for disaster. Help.
