Whether or not it's a flag, who cares?

Symbolism is as dangerous as it is stupid.

What does matter is how the typical "ERMAGERD DA FLERG!" crowd reacts based on who does this kind of stuff. Kid Rock's been wearing **** like that for years and the current crowd of NFL boycotters haven't said ****. Women have been wearing flag printed bikinis and they haven't said ****. John Daly has been wearing his outfits and no one has said ****. Budweiser has been putting it on their sixers for years and they haven't said ****. The flag has been displayed flat across the football field (when it's supposed to be displayed vertically, if my homework checks out) and they haven't said ****.

All the sudden, these people of color who apparently should be 'grateful' for being good at what they do are disrespectful because of what they're doing.

I think they're just reacting to our idiot POTUS being bored on twitter and making a dickturd of himself. I don't believe it's for equality in most of their cases. MY beef is with the hypocritical symbolism retards who take issue with this while letting the flag be pimped out for marketing purposes, or flat out disrespected without saying a word.

I guess the question that comes to mind for me is, are kid Rock, Budweiser, girls in bikinis doing it to honor the flag? Are the folks kneeling to flag honoring the flag or are they effectively turning their backs on flag, thereby dishonoring the flag. Motivation come into play here IMO.

Just pull the anti-trust exemption, local/state residents can elected to start pulling the welfare payments to these walking rocks and their slave owners, police protection can stop coming to the game, federal government should stop all ads and cooperation including fly overs.

The players can kneel, sit, hide in the toilet all they want, the people can elect to not watch it or pay for it, and boycott the sponsors, and any other protest they want.

It would seems like that is the answer to everyone's problem is fairly simple.

Anybody who thinks it's appropriate for the government to reward/deny favors/services to organizations for political reasons is a dangerous idiot.

Your whole post makes little sense. Reward, denial, favors and services are done for political reasons, duh.

The irony of you calling anyone an "idiot". :eek:lol:

Kid Rock, the swimsuit companies, and Budweiser aren't honoring jack squat. It's a marketing scheme. Therefore, they're exploiting the flag and what it stands for. Hell, A-B isn't even an American owned company. Half those bikinis are manufactured in third world countries. Kid Rock probably doesn't give two ****s about America.

And from almost all accounts, these players aren't dishonoring the flag. It has nothing to do with the flag. The flag is a red herring conjured by right wingers and Trump nut-huggers to inject emotional appeals into the whole discussion and drown out whatever message any of these players might actually be attempting to convey.

Does it matter? Seriously. (in the perfect Diaper Wearer voice)

I think just let everyone have their own opinion, and let the battle continue -- seems fair to me. I already know who has lost, just a matter of how much ($$$) at this point. I say party on!!!!! I have a feeling this is only getting started, much better than the games for sure.

As a side note, I think plenty of Americans are now aware that AB really isn't an American brew anymore - that rebellion started a few years ago.

So? Haha.

Opinion, opinions, seems the people with the opinions don't like it when someone has opinions about their opinions and actually do something with the opinion other than kneel or sit around.

For the record, I don't like hypocrites as well, even though we are all one -- I try to limit my hypocrisy, but I am human. I don't think the intent is to be vicious in your example, it could be wrong to some as well - I think what Kid Rock does is just in good fun. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter - I say rage on - I am loving the crap-fest that is the NFL. This might be the best season the NFL has had in my book. :popcorn:

The players are kneeling bc they knew the reaction they would get from people that consider it important.... it’s all based on a persons perception of the events.

Of course along the same lines, certain statues have been around for 100 years and nobody said ****. Even with the last turd in the office they were (apparently) not offensive. But now....

America is becoming one big pu$$y.

Thanks Dimocrats.
