Not really my cup of tea and I think it is a wasted effort to risk so much over such a symbolic gesture, yet, if someone wants to kneel or stand for a piece of cloth, what difference in the grand scheme of things does it make? The grievances they have will not be resolved and the people that are butt hurt right now are not having their lives affected in any significant manner. It's a wash.

Probably so. But just because a person has a dislike for their country at a given time doesn't mean they need to leave it, nor does it mean that they don't have hopes of the country changing. They are simply voicing their opinion.


You guys are making the problem much worse by showing all of this outrage. All you have to do is ignore them and they will find some other form of protest. Hell, you may actually force them to do something productive. Ever thought about it like that?

Agree 100%. For a bunch of people who say that everyone is too sensitive nowadays....you know where I'm going with this.

Way too much common sense in this statement!

What would that be?

I would assume they reinvest their vast wealth back into the communities they came from in the hopes that they can foster some meaningful change. It has to start at the bottom though.

Southpark hits on all the issues, but last year was brilliant. They hammered SJW's hard all year long. Looks like this season is going to be another liberal slaughterhouse. :rock:

I just wish they would stop with all the gay crap. It really isn't that funny, and it's mostly just gross.

I have zero idea how this ended up in this thread.

Edit: NVM. Merged

This seems to be the whole NFL, I heard the Titans game was down something like 20% in Nashville this past Sunday. The NFL is still king in America but for the first time in a long time seems like they have an issue on their hands.

The NFL really sucks right now. College game is more interesting. And I'm a guy who was always more of a NFL fan than college.

Rapinoe on ESPN for kneeling in USNT friendly. This is probably the most she's ever been interviewed for anything.

What's your ultimate goal? Social justice.
Other future actions? Be an ally.

Lol what? At least people are aware there was a women's game, so that's a positive I guess.

What are you basing this opinion on?

11 out of 16 NFL games were 1 score finishes.

6 of the top 25 NCAAF teams played in 1 score games last week.

The same dartboard of stupid that he uses to make comments that Cam Sutton is a HOFer and Josh Dobbs is the best QB in the country and will be taken in the first round.

Brainerd football team plans to protest during National Anthem | Times Free Press

Brainerd Football team plans protest.

Tonight, before Brainerd takes the field to play Region 3-2A rival Marion County, Gwyn and each of the Panthers players will stand for the national anthem, bow their heads and place their closed right fists over their hearts.

"That's the symbol of black power, and I think that's a fitting way to make a statement about this issue and do it in a way that we're united together," Gwyn explained. "Let's be honest, there is still racism in our country, and we need to shed light on it and make it so that that changes for the next generation.

"I deal with racism every day. It may not be in-your-face or name-calling, but when I stand up in a faculty meeting to speak, I see white faculty who look uninterested in what I have to say or roll their eyes. It's not just me. I see how they react when our principal [Uras Agee, who is also black] or other black faculty speaks. It feels like they respect the title, but not the person. It's very frustrating.


Nothing says lets end racism like a statement of "Black Power". As far as the comment about rolling their eyes at the principal in meetings. Guess what that has nothing to do with her skin color. You should see the looks our bosses get in meetings.

Didn't Brainerd used to be the rebels and when they made it a "black" school they change the mascot to a black panther? So it seems they've already made their statement in racism. What's scary is that adults are encouraging these kids to do this, and the kids have no idea what they're doing. They're just imitating the big kids.
