The Thread Where People Argue About Kneeling in the NFL (merged)

[DinkinFlicka]

Well, at this point your treatment of me is so bad, I might stop using the toilet at all. Now I need to find some tights and go tackle some grown mean playing kids sport to fit in. lol: I heard they are going to move their protest from the toilet to the back of the bus because they like the window view, I might buy a ticket.

I'm sure thwy eagerly await your pending purchase.

Oh I get a kick of people like you.... you provide me entertainment at the highest level. You're my pawn.

He’s my little *****-puppet. I make him dance at will.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

1. I am not all fired up... I am getting kick out of this for sure. The hypocrisy is at an all time high.

2. No, my toilet comment is right on point, which is why you want me to stop saying it.

3. All of your posts smell of desperation.


There is probably more room in their toilet for you as well, let me know what you get done in there. My guess... absolutely nothing.

I couldn't care less what metaphor you use. Just pointing out that your toilet metaphor makes no sense. Nobody has responded to it. You've been told numerous times by numerous people that your responses are "all over the place" and make no sense. You, however, keep plowing ahead. More power to ya, Joe

 

[alaVOL]

Why? Cause he exercised his first amendment rights?

I exercising mine as well. I don't care to watch people trash my flag. If I want that I'll tune in to Iran TV! I'm done with the NFL and I'll be done with the VOLS if they do it. God - Family - Country - Vols. In that order.

Just because you tug one out to a fantasy doesn't make it reality.

Right on cue.

I realize you keep saying you don't care. lol:

People have the freedom to stand, kneel, ride a bike, wear ugly clothes, pick religions, curse, jump up and down, hoot and holler, and cry or applaud anything they want to. Just because I don't agree with some of those things or when they do it doesn't mean they don't have the right to do it. That's what makes America great. JMO

Not at work.:thud:

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Hard to accept your own insignificance, I know.

Just a shame you've yet to do so, so late in life.

Hey we are all no more than dust in the wind. I served the country. You serve drinks. Have a nice day.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Not all... this is all killing you. You want me to stop and him to stop. Come on.... you know it. Really you can say anything about me or mom or whatever... I enjoy it. My mom's a flea bitten ho bag. lol:

I'm quivering from anger in my flip flops.

 

[LSU-SIU]

I'm quivering from anger in my flip flops.

I know you are. lol:

 

[hog88]

Nah, it's truthful. You're crotchety as ****.

Almost every single person against it ITT is a white male over the age of 40. Fact.

Not crotchety at all. You just despise being called out for your stupidity.

 

[volnpowell]

To draw and keep attention on the injustices that are perceived?

The discussion is being had despite many trying to make this about what they're doing rather than why they're doing it.

Lol, you mean what they "the protestors" are not doing. They take a knee or hide in a tunnel to" draw attention" yet do actually nothing. If you are drawing attention to something it is to get others to join your cause, but the only thing anyone could join is doing what they are doing which does not fix anything. When are they going to do something to fix "their problem" for others to join?

Oh, and as another poster stated, you are more likely to be struck by lighting than face the problem they have. They act like there is this epidemic of racist cops shooting people or beating them up.

There have been abuses of whites and other races, but you do not hear about that because groups like the NAACP want to keep that chip on their shoulder from 50 plus years ago.

Also has many on other side keep wanting to say we are saying they should not have freedom to protest, when in fact we are saying it is when and how they doing it that we have a problem with. I mean you have over 24 hours in a day, the game takes roughly 4 in that one day, so plenty of time to "protest" outside of National Anthem.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

I realize you keep saying you don't care. lol:

I am going to clue you in... I'm laughing at you. You are my little...

Whether you agree with NFL player kneeling or not, I think Villanueva from the Steelers summed this up best.


“What people don’t understand is ... we’re not talking about the same thing,” the 29-year-old athlete told reporters. “People who are taking the knee, they’re not saying anything negative about the military … [or] about the flag. They’re just trying to protest the fact that there are some injustices in America.”


Admitting that he was “one of the first ones who took offense” when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began sitting out the anthem last year to call attention to racial injustice and police brutality, Villanueva said he now better understands the protest.


“I have learned ... I don’t know what it’s like to be from Dade County [or] from Lakeland. I can’t tell you that I know what my teammates have gone through. I’m not going to pretend that I have the righteous voice to tell you to stand up for the national anthem,” he said.


At the same time, Villanueva stressed, if people choose to stand for the national anthem, “it doesn’t mean they don’t believe in these racial injustices.”

I know polls are unreliable but it's interesting

There is no protest. LOL I'm not angry, no way I would pay for that crap, yet I am. Everyone has every right to turn the money off, and to voice concern as to what they are doing.

The can go break dance in their tights during the national anthem, and people can call them out on it... and withdraw funds. I really don't see the problem, but it is entertaining.

Nah. I'm right. You said it was in the rules. I pointed out the careful diction in thoae rules. You then proved my point (my favorite part) and then accused me of having no real world experience after you proved my point and further explained it.

If anyone was dumb as a sack of rat turds in that exchange, it was you: the old, white curmudgeon who lives to piss and moan. You're even starting **** in the OT thread with other Vol fans about football.

I pray for your happiness.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Hey we are all no more than dust in the wind. I served the country. You serve drinks. Have a nice day.

Thanks for your service. I mean that.

Aside from that, you can suck a turd. Your opinion is worthless, as is mine. Peace be with you.

;-)

Now on to your true racist stance. lol:

Made me laugh out loud..for real.

Girlfriend is like "what are you chuckling at?". :thumbsup:

You must be high if you think that's the way this conversation went.

C'mon man.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Feel free to correct me in any detailed capacity.

I pointed out the use of must and should. You said it was for employer discretion (which I've been referring to since this started last year), and then tried to accuse me of ignorance.

Why the **** would I bring up the distinction in the first place? I know you are a reasonably intelligent guy, but I know you're not about to walk anything back either.

Lol. You've posted with me for years. You know this will just keep going.
