Seriously, can you at least make a comment, rather that cranking out endless links?

Truth sucks doesn't it?

Wasn't to a SEAL that suggested that Kaepernick kneel?

Thats what he claimed after just maxin' and relaxin' on the bench originally.

...which is why I personally think this whole thing started as a "I can't be bothered to stand for this crap"....and then he reinvented it as some sort of "noble" cause when the backlash started.

ignorance is a cure for nothing

No, I'm just asking that long held observances be observed. Or is it acceptable to just post links to things, sans personal opinion. I assure you, the Huffingpost can keep up quite easily.

I don't think that's an outlandish hypothesis. In fact, it's entirely plausible. It would also explain the inherent stupidity and complete lack of consideration of potential consequences of his actions.

College football?
Isn't this the beginning of the end of "professional" football as we know it?

Hopefully!

I'm not reading anything posted just for the sake of posting (i.e. post whoring)

You can wear you ball cap on backwards.
You can wear your pants down below your knees.
You can change gay from happy to homosexual.


But, darling? When you kneel, you are praying or showing respect. You can't make that a protest. It doesn't work. Tebow took a knee. We all knew what that meant. And some didn't think that was appropriate for a football game. Jesus' name shouldn't be invoked for dumb stupid stuff like football wins.

So, when all these dudes who make megabucks attempt to take an action that for 5000+ years has meant respect or submission to mean something for their experience (which I might wonder whether they've actually had that experience given that they are some of the select few humans to be accorded a professional uniform in that sport), I say: LOL. Get up, moron! That isn't a protest. That's a Tebow!

And pull your pants up while you're at it. You look like a plumber.

no post whoring my friend....you don't get it....you wouldn't go to the news agency and read it?

Because I can go to a news agency and read it. This is a discussion forum, we discuss.

everyone needs to get there heads out of there ass's.......

Protesters take a knee outside Sessions speech at Georgetown | Fox News

Dem Rep. Jackson Lee takes a knee on House floor | Fox News

Desperately seeking relevance by looking to piggy back on a 'protest' that is at least getting ink. BLM is so last month

 

[BugI02]

Well, I think it was already obvious that some former soldiers had no clue as to why they were serving, and what they were defending.

I guess they never could quite wrap their heads around the fact that they were defending the right of a few 'Americans" who, since high school, have had life smoothed for them like they were a curling stone and who were given a free ride at a prestigious college for the sole purpose of 'studying' leveraging physical talent into a lucrative career

Silly of veterans to think higher ideals than the worship of mammon could be involved

 

[Alpo]

I think most of us understood why we served. What we may not have understood was why we were serving in that exact location.

That's too hard because it doesn't support the all white people are racist mantra.

Are they calling for the government to step in?
Cause Free Speech is a limitation on government, not citizens.
Players have a RIGHT to protest.
And others have a RIGHT to agree or disagree.
