We are doomed...Anthem/kneeling law

[Rasputin_Vol]

I wonder if any of these kneelers have been asked to be a pallbearer of one of their kin with full military honors and denied to do so?

Why is that significant? I understand the flag is draped over the coffin, but why does that matter?

I wonder if their fallen family members would be OK with them NOT being a pallbearer if it meant their family was still able to maintain their rights and freedoms? Or, would they prefer that their families are living like slaves/sheep to the govt and carried the flag?

It is a horrible product. I used to watch. Then I watched the playoffs only. Now I would rather watch a baby seal being toyed with and eaten by a pod of orcas than watch the NBA.

I quit watching pro sports (except golf) when the players started kneeling. Funny thing is---I don't miss any of it.

Kind of petty you stopped watching pro sports over some kneeling.

If you feel that's what you have to do then that's fine.

Kind of petty of you to care what some one else watches. And it's kind of petty of me to care what someone thinks about what some one watches.

Yup.

It's kneeling

You know college kids kneel too. You might as well throw your tv out the window if that is your determining factor.

It's a statement. It's no different there how people get "cancelled" for words.

I try to take in all different experiences, but I get when people don't want to watch a sport or go to a concert based off of statements being made that has nothing to do with the sport or the music they want to see.

I can handle the kneeling but absolutely hate it becoming the main topic during games and the week in between games.... I want to read/listen about my favorite teams and the sport they play....my son and I stayed up to watch opening day( we are dodgers fans)..... there was 30-40 minutes worth of nonsense before they started the game..... I said forget it and we went to bed.

It works for me

 

[Leeleesteeth]

I want to watch sports to watch people COMPETE. Kneel or don't kneel, don't care. Sports "journalism" now is more about drama and controversy and less about the games. My solution is to turn on the game right at kickoff and turn it off as soon as it ends.

And some people find it offensive and disrespectful. Apparently you don't. That's perfectly fine. It's also fine if they do.

Edit...nevermind...I hate the world we live in. It is not "a better place" and never will be.

It's kind of petty that you don't understand why it bothers a lot of us so much.

Knee to ground = anger. Interesting

"I've watched pro sports my whole life........ohhhhh my godd his knee touched the ground....going to stop watching"

And this is what happens at 2.5 marijuanas, kids.

Nah. It's really not hard to just watch a sport. I'll teach you.

It’s a little harder when you follow a sport bc it gets ridiculous.

Please just play the game and conduct social justice crusades on your own time. I have my own opinions on the issues of the day. I am not actually interested in seeing and hearing about it while I am trying to enjoy sports. Hearing the announcers, in particular, drone on about it is mind numbing. If I want to know the opinions of the players, organizations they are a part of, or the television stations on which they are broadcast, I will seek out that information in my own time. Please just play the game and talk about the game during the game.


Ohh crap! I hope I haven't derailed this thread again.

You are so upset that they are upset that you are more upset than they are.

Tend to agree. I won't say I hate it, just not a big fan of "the world"... Unless humans, as a whole, learn to and start to value each other more than stuff we won't make it...

They never have in their entire existence, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

It wasn't that bad..I just popped off a little.
