Ok, but that doesn’t answer why we do it. Most, a very large percentage, of Americans don’t got to large organized sporting events. Where do they get a chance to show their patriotism?
Who stood and kneeled for the anthem?
- Thread starter Louis_Skunt
- Start date
exactly. i mean lebron has so much money. why should he care that someone painted "nig****" on his garage door? talk about spoiled.
Cutting your nfl tv package is the only way to show your pride for the country?
Wait? Are you implying we’re all racist if we think not standing for the national anthem because you think you’re oppressed is dumb as shit? No one in the United States is oppressed, its the GD victim mindset that holds people back.
Question for you all. What would be a reasonable way for athletes to show protest to what many of them see as a slight on members of their communities? An NFL pregame is pretty much the biggest stage. Why should they not be allowed to show what they feel?
Did Jackie spread a false hands up don't shoot lie? Wear pig socks?
Nope. He was an actual leader.
Go into the ghetto and try to teach people to not have kids out of wedlock, that crime isn't acceptable no matter how poor you are, go on ride alongs with the police, actually see what the police see....you ever see them do this? Me either. That's why it's nothing but a joke.
Exactly, glad you are on board. I mean, I get called a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, homophobic, white supremacist simply because I am white and have a job that pays me less than $50,000.00 a year and I pay taxes on it so others can be lazy. Glad you finally see the light.
P.S. I am 1/4 Cherokee so, Pochahontas Warren probably should pay me since she is only 1%.
“Watch that Brutality,” “I think our Police Commissioner must be warned that police brutality will not be tolerated by the Negro and Puerto Rican people of New York City. There has been too much of it and unless it is seriously curtailed, there can be serious and crucial times ahead for the city."

I would guess the majority of them don’t do that, you’re right. I would also contend that hardly anyone does that at all.
You are completely missing the point, in fact you just made his point and don’t realize it.
You really think we are all racist and simply want to keep the black man down.
What year was that and do you have a time machine? Also, Doc and the rest of the world wants you left nuts to come back to the future. Psst....everyone gets fat because they eat good. I suspect however, your fatness is much more visible from your top. Wait, let me dumb it down for you. I mean the the fattest part on you is your head.
Random questions:
- Going forward, will the kneeling/sitting protests escalate, diminish, or stay about the same?
- Similarly, what will the answer to the first question do to the NFL's ratings?
- Did this all start with Kaepernick's unemployment, or with the Michael Brown/BLM stuff or what?
- What is the endgame for the protesting players?
So most people are focusing on the players. What about the coaches and owners and comish that seem to be in solidarity?
Will die down. Ratings won't change. Keapernick started it in response to blacks being shot by police. They have no endgame, as I'm sure they haven't thought that far ahead.
It’s all coopting and conflating of issues.
You are being taken for a ride by race profiteers and political opportunists.
This is all so very disgusting really.

While we're at it, why the Pledge of Allegience at the beginning of every school day?
The answer is : it used to be an honor to collectively celebrate the greatness of this country. Now, it is a platform to question the very underpinnings of every piece of the founding framework.
Only now, it seems bizarre to do this at a sporting event because the prism of American exceptionalism has been blurred by recent subversion.

Nice try but the Ferguson riots were based on a lie. You know this.
My point exactly. Oh baby got a hang nail, oh no, lets whine about it the whole season and blame everyone but yourself. Bottom line, no country is perfect. No person is perfect....appreciate what you have and don't dishonor the guys who paved your road.
Any man of any color who does not honor his country and the many brave men who died defending it does have low intelligence
You're right. Your takes are always good and you're funny as hell so I respect your opinion. All I can say is, I'm white and I know what my ancestors came from, the Kentucky dirt. I've played by the rules and obeyed the law. I can't understand why people of every race cannot do the same.
The fact that athletes think this is going to be beneficial reminds me how stupid they really are.
These protests are only separating the races further apart and having ZERO impact on whether a cop pulls out his gun on a kid robbing a store.

There is none and nothing positive to come out of it.
I just keep shaking my head at the first amendment argument. Very few people have first amendment complete protection while on the job representing a product.
