readonly Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Let's see how this whole thing started: Kap got benched and was pouting. Reporters noticed his lazy, insolent butt slouching during the anthem and remarked on it. Had he previously come with an announcement of some sort of protest? No, but now he runs with it. It is my firm belief that this did not begin as an intentional protest. And sums up the merit of the whole thing. I don't like Trump and I don't like the protests either. I find them disgusting. If they continue more fans will walk away. If the Redskins start in on it, I will vote with my remote and turn it off. And when dollars march away from the NFL these idiots will get the poetic justice they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ****ing terrible look and we know you're better than that. Yea, I'm done. I've made my points and if you haven't learned yet, you probably never will (and I mean "you" as the group, not you specifically). And for the record, I wasn't just using Nazis and kneeling players, I also used a states rights advocate at McDonalds. But I guess that wasn't worth looking at. Hopefully at some point, you all will actually think about the point I'm making. 9 minutes ago, Hersh said: You are bigly mistaken if you think you are pointing out hypocrisy because you are putting those speaking out against injustice and racists under the same free speech umbrella and acting as if they should be treated the same. They both have the same rights but that's where the similarities end. In the eyes of the government, they should be. And as I stated above. My examples didn't only include racists. But I geuss thinking that makes it easier to just ignore my point and bask in hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how the protest started at all, he started protesting after police brutality but you're choosing to overlook that completely for some reason. Bye!

readonly Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He didn't even give an explanation until the after the 2nd week. Kind of odd timing for a "protest" statement. Just lazy and insolent. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We all understand your point @TheGreatBuzz and respect your opinion, we just disagree with you. If you keep comparing kneeling players to Nazi marchers you're gonna lose that respect...and prolly respect for your self. Aim higher. You can do it. Are we really gonna do the alternative fact/ bull**** gallop in here? Kap is "on the record" and owning it like nobody's business. It's not up for discussion. Thank heavens for the ignore feature.

Again, go read back and you will see that I used the McDonalds employee handing out pamphlets advocating states rights. I switched to the white supremacists because someone didn't like hypothetical so I tried to use something that had actually happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins island connection Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ok ok, I wake up, turn on my computer, and find that this protest thing with the NFL is starting to gain momentum. First thing to cross my mind was, 'well there goes the fly-overs at the beginning of the year and Super Bowls'. Trump crossed the line with the comment of firing NFL players for kneeling; I get that, its wrong. Politics have no place in sports. Sports is a place people come to, to unwind from the headaches and issues of life, to cheer your favorite team on, having a beer or a soda with your friends. But, the kneeling of players as a sign of protest is doing more of a dis-service than anything else. Is it illegal? Absolutely not. Is it fireable? Absolutely not. Is it the wrong venue? Absolutely. Player protests have been going on since at least the Bush Dubya term, if not longer [ just can't remember right now ], with a player or players refusing to go to the White House after winning a championship in their sport. I get the protesting. I get why players AND fans are upset. And to be honest, a lot of the hatred and vitriol has been a case of wrong or inflated information. Now I know there are some law enforcement people who may have an agenda towards minorities, but it IS a 2-way street on that topic, so before you burn every flag, you might want to research some of the hate coming from the other sides as well before you make your final judgment. To me, this flag burning and kneeling during the national anthem is wrong. It just is. We could go back and forth for hours or even days on the rights and wrongs of this country, on the hypocricy on both sides, there is more than enough blame on both sides that no one should feel they are absolutely right. But this is a damn football game, and to see how some players and now owners are dragging an issue into sports is disgusting. There is no place for it in sports. In fact, the absolute biggest problem of all is there is a particular side who refuse to acknowledge the truth about the 'big picture' in general, but instead tend to cherrypick incidents across the country and carry their protest based off of those cases, some of which are grossly inaccurate thanks to the media. This generation is so lost and mis-guided, when their beliefs are so strong it affects their rational train of thought, and when proven wrong they either refuse to accept they are wrong, or they simply move it to a place to try and gain more support, i.e.; sports. Support your country, respect each other, and just sit down at a table and hash the problems out. Call it as you see it, not as others tell you it is.
