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

    No. Seriously...what was the point of such an obtuse post? I'm sure not even you know, Mr. TLegal.

    After three attempts to appeal to your sense of personal shame and accountability
    I will simply assume you have none.

    The TV viewership is in decline in part because fans dont like the black protests

    Most Americans who tune into a football game do so to be entertained, not preached to about inequality from multi-millionaires.

    We don't give a flip about their outrage over anything.

    And that's fine, but it is also improper for the president to use his bully pulpit to completely falsify the purpose of their protest in order to toss red meat to his base.

    Stop being a weak pansy. A lot of our greatness as a country is derived from diversity of thought. It shouldn't upset you to this point if, and I'm not saying any of the players are of this mind, someone doesn't view the flag or a pre-game ceremony through your lens. I'm a veteran, I served my country for 8 years and this stuff just doesn't bother me.

    His comments on the NFL came well after he handed Hillary her considerably wide, pantsuit covered ass in the general.

    Yes I'm aware of that. Did my comment imply otherwise? I didn't mean it to.

    This isn't about diversity of thought it is about disrespecting the flag and the anthem by some overpaid entertainers on the job and whether their bosses are going to continue to let them drive away their customers.

    The BLM movement has restarted the stalled social evolution in the USA. Trump is the anti-christ.

    The protests didn't start until the end of Obama's 8-year tenure and were induced by the emergence of the white supremacist, racist, anti-christ, Trump.

    Trump's double-tasking as Fuhrer and Antichrist?

    Pence is the Judas-goat?

    I'm sure Hitler reincarnate and Beelzebub would take an equally dim view of these players righteous crusade. Just let your imagination run wild ... it's what liberals do.

    Yeah, like Colin said he is protesting the country that the flag represents.

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

    Which is pretty ignorant considering that probably 99% of shootings of black people was under STATE authority not the federal government. Colins state of California was probably one of the biggest offenders.

    Is it too far off-topic to post a musical interlude?

    Please stand.
