Then do ot some other time and not during the national anthem moron!

Protesting gang violence?I never said it affected their job performance but I don't really care anymore because I'm not supporting them. And kudos to the players that do work in their communities. But the majority of regular, hard working white Americans are not going to support this matter seriously until they start also protesting gang violence and black on black crime which are much bigger issues facing the black community than some cops who have to make split second decisions in sometimes life or death situations. Sometimes they make the right decisions and sometimes they do not. Look at the job of an NFL QB. It's not a life or death situation most of the time but they also have to make split second decisions and sometimes they make the wrong decision. But they don't lose their life or go to prison for making a mistake. So until these "movements" and "social justice warriors" also own up to their own problems, count me uninterested in what they have to say.
And I don't care what this person has to say about anything because he contradicts himself. If he thinks Cuba is so great, go live there.
I just call them willfully ignorant because the players have stated numerous times the aim of their protests and none of those things include "our country".
except it isn't. Ratings and attendance is down for college football as well.
Wrong. Even the ravens sent a letter to ticketholders admitting the anthem protest is hurting attendance.
Perhaps you should read the post I responded to...you know the part that said "...yet college football is sky rocketing??"
There are many veterans that have said they support the players, I guess their opinions don't matter? The Titians had one player who participated in the protest and his brother was killed in Afghanistan. He clearly isn't insulting veterans. Besides, if you "fought for freedom" yet don't want some to exercise that freedom then you didn't really fight for that freedom...just the freedoms you with which you agree.
So what issue is it? If it's opposition to supposed black oppression, it's opposition to a fantasy concocted by those who like controversy to promote their goals. Sad these guys would fall for it.
Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. I’ll just agree to be right and you can continue to stick your head in the sand. Go support Michael Bennett. You and he can make up some more fairytales as we go. Until one can admit problems in their own house it’s difficult to tell other people how to run theirs.
Fuzz, what you (again) fail to get through your thick skull is that few, if any, posters have argued that the players don't have a right to protest- at least, not insofar as state action is concerned. They have the right to protest; when they do so, they are effectively making a statement. A person has a right to make a statement, and those who are subjected to it have a similar right to make a response- and, if the response includes a boycott, so be it. I fail to understand how you cannot comprehend this simple concept, but, then again, I fail to understand why someone would boldly refuse to pay a bet that one lost.
$1000 to another poster, but I don't recall the specific nature of the bet. When he lost, he just refused to pay, and claimed that bets on the Internet were hypothetical and not real. When the winner offered to donate the payout to charity, he still refused.
