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

[LSU-SIU]

It’s the civilian equivalent of a hashtag or coloring your profile pic. It does nothing. And conveniently it’s done at work so they had to be there anyways. No extra effort needed.

I’m fine with the practice, it helps better identify the idiots. It’s like a rebel flag bumper sticker.

Completely agree, lazy dudes is all they are.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

I just can't let this go... what in the hell possessed you to type this...do you have a personal fact checker at work because maybe you need to look into that...yes the good citizens of Erwin/Unicoi county did vote for Obama....29%!

If you’re familiar with Erwin 29% is stunning. Their history with minorities is “strained”, to put it mildly.

 

[Biopsyman]

Their brudda's and sista's are getting killed by white cops. Nevermind black on black murders are at a staggering rate but let's focus on kneeling in unity at work during the anthem. Let's tell whitey no disrespect to the troops and vets and we be alright.

Does it also mean we want your money… even though no one is guilty

I didn't say he wasn't funny, but he IS a racist. Thru and thru

So?

 

[MT LeConte]

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.

Good. The fewer Trump nut huggers stinking up the stadium the better.

Blue haired, "stop your standing and yelling" crowd - BE GONE!

I can get behind that protest!

 

[Grand Vol]

So they are not permitted to fight for injustices suffered by others? At what income level should I stop caring about the plight of others?

Here's the problem...

They only "fight" for it for the two minutes prior to games.

Because events that happened 100+ years ago are certainly relevant today.

So?

I guess being a racist is only worthy of scorn if one is not black then.. since our resident expert - you- has chimed in on that. Set me straight Obi Wan.

This is an assumed fact. I know that CK gave millions last year to causes that dovetailed with his protest. I will not assume that others are not being generous, as well. But in this thread, the players kneeling have been called illiterate, been told they have no idea what they are protesting, been told they will likely be broke, been called welfare recipients etc. I don't know if race plays a part, but it smells a little fishy.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Oh dear, what would you do if they decide to pay college players???

I would boo a 21 year old for the first time that didn't perform... if.. I still watched the games which is highly doubtful. Yeah I know they don't care, cause they gettin' paid.

Screw college football and basketball if they start paying them.

So...you're assuming it's race related?

Bet he wishes he had that money back now.

I wish I could say they are protesting but it changes so much and honestly this isn't a protest anyway. Even if it was, it isn't know because what they are doing has basically been made -- irrelevant. The players and owners whatever color they may be -- are receiving either directly or indirectly millions-billions in welfare payments. The race card has been used over and over, its like crying wolf over and over -- its worn out.

There simply is no protest -- never was and probably never will be at this stage. Trump holds three Kings, owners hold an 8 high, and the players aren't even in the room.

Virginia Senatorial candidate Corey Stewart wants to strip the National Football League of its lucrative anti-trust exemption over its response to players taking a knee during the National Anthem.

I doubt it gets far, but all Trump would have to tell the players is... why are you working with those modern day slave owners -- be smart, form your own league... I'll help.

Photos of a West Point alumnus holding a pro-Colin Kaepernick “COMMUNISM WILL WIN” sign while in uniform is riling up the military community.

Images of U.S. infantry Officer Spenser Rapone reached a popular military news site on Tuesday and set off a robust debate on NFL national anthem protests, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback that started it all in 2016, and the shock of seeing an unapologetic communist from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Nah, racism is ****ty in all forms. I can just admit to it because I have testicles and you don't.

 

[Grand Vol]

Just because FP and a few others have a habit of not posting links...

Why do you assume there is an 'end game'? Millennials aren't as impressed with nationalism or patriotism as former generations.

What have the prior generations left for millenials to be proud of? $20+ trillion of debt, wars on all corners of the globe, no jobs after 4 years of college, and left behind no skills or trades for them to fend for themselves.

Is it surprising that they may have a different view than previous generations?

This one was taken from the link in the comments, it might be my favorite of the day beside the Congress Woman's bath robe.

Police officers protesting themselves, and they threw in black powers fist in the air to boot. lol:

I don't know what I think about this. He posted pics that (at least used to) violate AR 670-1 but he can't be punished for his political beliefs.
