NBC is a Hispanic Party propaganda station. Its in their best interest to keep the black vote angry and upset, divided, otherwise they would never win an election. Doing a good job of that thus far.

Didn't read the article I see.

Very selectively quoted I see:

McCarthy said AMVETS was given a chance to amend their ad from “Please Stand” to other options, such as “Please Honor Our Veterans” or “Please Stand for Our Veterans.”

He noted an ad from Veterans of Foreign Wars was approved for the program. It reads, “We Stand For Veterans.”

Production on the programs was delayed while they awaited an answer from AMVETS, McCarthy said, and the NFL ultimately printed the programs without the ad in order to meet deadlines.

Which is why I included multiple links. I would expect smart people like yourself...

Never mind, I forgot who I was talking to. Anyway.

I would expect others to actually go to the links and read such information. But you are so caught up in making sure the NFL players can obviously express their opinions and completely missed how hypocritical the NFL is by not allowing others to express their own in a PAID advertisement.

The NFL is not the government, and so the First Amendment does not apply to this ad controversy. Having said that, I agree that if they meet the other criteria and pay for the ad time, then the NFL should run it.

Just like a baker who refuses to make a cake for homosexual couples, right? Same rules apply?

Hell no, they don’t, not to you! You’d be ready to kill puppies and take the case for the “offended” party.

I can't wait until the leftwing kneelers and the rightwing snowflakes get a real issue to focus on. Both sides are ridiculous right now.

It is amazing to me how people in this country can work themselves into a frenzy over pieces of cloth. You want to divide a crowd and start a melee? Throw a Confederate or US flag in the crowd and watch the 'Murican savages tear each other apart...

That doesn’t respond to my post. “I quoted it in a way to make it seem much more slanted and inflammatory than it really is, because I just wanted you to read more.” The latter doesn’t justify the former.

Actually, my take on this has zero to do with the kneeling, but rather the NFL deciding to pick sides in that debate and call the ad "political" while ignoring the obvious political point their own players are making.

Here's the thing. It's extremely hypocritical to say "no, you can't take out a paid ad in the program because we believe it to be a political message" and turn around and say "our players are just invoking their 1st Amendment rights." Which they were also making a political message.

You are correct... the NFL is being hypocritical.

The players that are kneeling are also hypocritical because they would kneel for police brutality or "racist" Donald Trump, but not the black on black murders in Chicago or the "racist" Hillary Clinton and other white liberals.

The right wing snowflakes are hypocritical because they get bent out of shape (and rightly so) over violent protests in Ferguson and Baltimore, yet continue to feign outrage over peaceful protests at a football game. They get outraged over disrespect being paid to a "symbol" of God, country and family (the US or Confederate flags), yet they don't do diddly squat when the US Constitution is being destroyed daily, or when (Christian) God, country (or civil liberties, wealth and tranquility) and families are under attack right now.

Both sides need a diaper change. There are a lot bigger issues to be wasting our time on than a damn flag.

Donald Trump's Superficial Patriotism At The Twilight Of U.S. Empire

First and foremost, standing for the National Anthem, saluting the flag or cheering a military parade is not “supporting the troops.” If you think such trivial and superficial acts represent anything beyond lazy surface level virtue signaling you’re a huge part of the problem. Your thoughtlessness and fake patriotism is exactly why our young kids are being sent off to die and murder other young kids halfway across the world to pad the coffers of plutocrats and the egos of empire obsessed sociopaths in D.C. Not only are such acts not patriotism, your phony gestures help grease the wheels of global death and destruction.

Superficial patriotism is the most attractive form of patriotism for any politician. It encourages spectacle without substance. Bluster without tangible success. Chest-thumping without sacrifice. Any big military parade in the U.S. will be a definitive sign of desperate insecurity and evidence that the American empire is expiring.

49ers Linebacker who Took a Knee to Protest Police Brutality Just Arrested for Domestic Violence
Click to expand...

But on Sunday, Foster was arrested in Los Gato, California on suspected domestic violence and weapons charges. (Supposedly, he was also in possession of an “assault rifle.”) This isn’t the first time he’s been arrested, either. In fact, just this month, he was caught with marijuana in the state of Alabama, where that’s still illegal. Niners Nation reported, “Foster was arrested in Alabama for drug possession. If he had been in possession of marijuana in California, it would not have been a crime.” His punishment? “The NFL substance abuse program would suggest a fine,” Niners Nation reported, “but recent protocol on marijuana arrests has been one game.”

So he had a weapon... where are you 2nd Amendment folks at? Had some reefer, also... yet another crime against humanity right there.

And lastly, this "suspected" domestic violence charge. Nah, we haven't seen this before... guilty until proven innocent when it comes to men vs rape or domestic abuse charges.

If anything, this just highlights the injustice that he allegedly took a knee for.

You aren't ever going to have any pro-2A individual ever say California's laws are reasonable.
