Americans don’t risk being publicly executed for not singing their national anthem.

They are all dead if they reside in Iran. And if they don't, their families will be.

Unless they win it all…..and repent

I'm not saying that, we have a dim/communist in office

Kapernick and the Iranian team are all protesting against what they see as injustice. It's a valid comparison.

Nah, not for that. But they may face some lesser sanctions. They're brave to protest that way.

Iran has a 1st Amendment?

No, we helped them shift from relative freedom to tyranny.

 

[Ttucke11]

I actually enjoy your thinking on a lot of things, but these situations aren't even in the same hemisphere of one another.

 

[hog88]

No, we helped them shift from relative freedom to tyranny.

Yep, we screwed the pooch on that one.

 

[Orangeburst]

Yep, we screwed the pooch on that one.

The foreign policy savants have screwed our nation and wrecked our finances. Heck..look at CCP policy.

Nor should they or anyone. WTF are you talking about?

Meanwhile, the very same people that were wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth about a knee and talking about God and country and all that BS let this very same govt shutdown businesses, shutdown Easter, tried to force a jab on the people and have gone across the globe starting fires and wars for the past 80+ years.
