If I were one of these cry babies, I would catch a boat and leave this terrible country.

Quitting is one way of handling it and if that's who you are then more power to you.

I think improving the condition that you're unhappy with is more rewarding than taking the easy way out.

This 'movement' picked up steam over the weekend as a response to Trump and his "fire the son of a b****" comment... which is exactly what he wanted. Every indication is that he enjoys the chaos and division.

So did Obama

Hes winning politically on this.

That's not substantial. He's playing for fake points

Do you honestly think these dufusses taking a knee have done anything, including taking a knee, to make the situation better?

But according to Hiltary she is hoping he hasn't ordered people to be killed.

Angry Americans are cancelling their Sunday NFL packages with DirecTV and some are receiving refunds after citing anthem protests for their reason.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that DirecTV customer service received a high volume of calls from angry people cancelling their Sunday NFL packages after the anthem protests spiraled out of control. According to a few customers WSJ spoke with, they are getting some refunds.

NFL-owned RedZone which also provides Sunday football games was bombarded by cancellations as well according to the WSJ.

Probably all those illegal voters

If you don't think support for them is growing then you are in denial. Trump threw gas on the fire and now they have more support than ever. You're not looking at the big picture if you think this doesn't matter.


Here's something that might be similar to what we're seeing today. Just because some don't agree with events doesn't mean they aren't effective.

Yeah but this really has just become public info, not that I think everyone just dumps everything. Its been slow death for years, this won't help.... if the NFL doesn't submit ... I think it gets worse as the Donald has wounded prey. I doubt it gets better for the NFL, just about how much they lose... this is a lose lose for the NFL... there is zero upside.

You are Wrong.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

There is no gesture or stance that is more disrespectful than a kneel. Sickening.

You mean the way a military man kneels before a widow with a folded flag?

You did not provide a very good counter point, to say the least.

I hope he's being sarcastic

 

[Labotomi]

You are Wrong.

Saying what you are would get me banned.

Teams which had more kneelers went 1-10 against the spread

Because he disagrees with you .....

I would say its a form of weakness or submission or solemnly present , even in a funeral ceremony. They of course are using it as sign that they don't want any part of it before the game and that they might hate the country. imo Generally, kneeling is a sign of submission, which is why people were saying the whole thing doesn't make sense, but I think that was obvious from the start.

Obviously these guys are mad about something, so its kind of splitting hairs either way.

 

[Orangeslice13]

But you didn't answer the question.
You see.....the protests have become about the protests. Nobody is talking about the supposed issue. And none of the guys taking a knee have done anything either.....other than take a knee and costing themselves money by pissing off half their audience.

 

[Labotomi]

Because he disagrees with you .....

I provided an equal number of supporting statements as he did.

 

[Orangeslice13]

And you're now mad enough to start calling him names that would get you banned?

Heaven forbid we want to improve things. I mean I didn't realize the country was perfect.

I can post tons of links of different players foundations if that would help you.
