Oh my ggoodnes! Moore with one of the best catches of the year!

Good job Melo. Glad to see actual prominent athletes who actually experienced living in such communities are taking action by getting involved. Seriously though. Props to them.

You wouldn't know anything about that Karperdick.

And another feel good story. Good to see these athletes appreciate our country, especially knowing where they come from.

great story.

 I just got my citizenship a few months ago. that little flag he's holding, I keep it in my car hanging from the passengers side visor.

its a perspective not everyone can appreciate.

Good for you grego! That is awesome! Congrats!

Feel good story and God bless him for appreciating one of the many things our flag represents. (Bang)

I disagree Elessar. The majority of people aren't upset with his message, but his method.

Because, King Gibbs. 

I'm good enough. I'm smart enough and gosh darn it Ron Arrest likes me.

The only thing he has accomplished is more division. For some it's a race issue. For me it's strictly military. I will stand by millions of service men and women who take pride in our flag before I stand by a privileged athlete that uses the flag for his own agenda.

Two words. Iwo Jima.

He can send a message without insulting Whatever you say Taze. I'm adamant about my support for the men and women of our military. He could convey his message through other avenues. Go check what Ray Lewis had to say about it.

Well my son is active duty, my dad, his dad and all of my Uncle's are retired military. All of them that have passed were honored with a military funeral and a flag draped over their casket. One just last Thursday.

Here's another one for you Evil. The Steelers stood united and held the flag in honor of their left tackle that served three tours of duty.

TBH, the military isn't even the first thing I think of when you mention the flag or the anthem.

That's fine, but for many it is.

Are you serious Evil? We don't think about the military during the Anthem? What a dumbass statement. 

The Honor guard is on the field holding the flag DURING the Anthem. Military personnel SING the Anthem. There are flyovers just as the Anthem ends. The public announcer says "Please rise as we honor the men and women of our armed forces" before the Anthem begins.

Again. Stupid statement on your part.

That's okay Evil. The majority of the athletes no matter their ethnic background respect the flag because they want to respect the men and women of our military. That's where my issue lies with Kaepernick's protest. His message will fall on deaf ears for that reason alone. You and I don't agree and that will never change.

So you think it's exaggerated, huh? I don't. So I guess we'll agree to disagree. Hey?! We're making progress.

No, it doesn't. May I ask why would you ask such a ridiculous question? 

It's a ridiculous question? Alrighty then.

Because too many people assume that whitey is automatically a racist when disagreeing with a black man's view.

Plenty of prominent black athletes oppose Kaepernick's protest. I guess that makes them Uncle Tom's?

Ignore the mcsluggo quote bar. This is my quote. site upgrade won't allow me to delete it.

This has been embarrassingly unfair for FIU. My heart breaks for them.

Like to see how much money he's donated to oppressed neighborhood's. That would be more impressive than disgracing (IMO) the flag. It's unpatriotic (again IMO) and as many issues as this country has? It pales in comparison with most of the world. That'seems to be lost here. 

Just another day in America where divided we stand.

Some might say that those who sacrificed their lives did so in part so that everyone could express their views freely. As Kaepernick did.  Not that you have to agree with it...

Well his timing is suspect in my opinion. About to lose his job. He's had ample opportunity to do this. 

Lives were sacrificed so he could get paid handsomely to play a sport.

Isn't he doing the opposite of political correctness?

I'm referring to the responses in general.

When I see our flag I see a symbol of freedom and I think about those that sacrificed their lives for that freedom. You disrespect both when you pull a Kaeperdick. Of course, once again, political correctness comes to the forefront. Am I angry? No. Am I disgusted? Yes.

Love Miz. He's an old school heel. Much rather have him as the "face" of the WWE.

The Club is about to grow by two. I see it from a mile away.

So taking the easy road to a championship is what is considered being a man these days? eh...

I loved that LeBron won the 'ship because it pissed people off. People seem to forget how much money he raised for the 'Boys and Girls club' as a result of 'The Decision.'
