Agree. This is what freedom of speech looks like. I don't have to agree with it, but I'll fight like hell for their right to do it.
That's the kind of the point of the protest though don't you think? Peacefully bringing attention to an issue by making an expression against the norm.
Sure as hell beats holding someone at gunpoint or firing on an innocent crowd of people.
Tell that to all the caskets draped in the American Flag it's freedom of speech. These elitist rich fucks need a lesson in humility!! Want to "protest"? Give away your millions to some good cause you believe in....never gonna happen...Fuck these asshole... just another reason why Trump won....middle America won't forget....
KAEP has given away millions LOL. He also is PEACEFULLY protesting. The military didn't inject itself into these sporting events until relatively very recently, and they PAY to have all that nonsense. Flag, military, planes, etc. What's that have to do with sports? It's an agenda. Again, they are protesting police brutality, NOT THE FLAG OR THE COUNTRY. A white dude on the A's did it last night, who's dad is in the military. It seems like nobody really gets it. They see a flag, they see someone kneeling quietly, and they lose their shit over reasons they have no clue about. Pick up a history book, or see facts. Absurd Nationalism doesn't belong anywhere near sports.
Not sure I get that part. Multi millionaire black men protesting black oppression. Who's oppressing them? Shouldn't they boycotting who's oppressing them? 50 murders black on black in Chicago since Thursday , shouldn't they be protesting that? That's black on black oppression. That's blacky keeping the black man down.
I'm not taking either side, but it's definitely getting some attention so the protest is "working".
I wasn't born in the US, but a resident for almost 20 years and love it here. However, the annoying thing for me, is the talk about disrespect etc, but not much about all the wounded warriors. So many brave men and women that come home and life will never been the same. About 20 veterans commit suicide everyday, there is not enough funding or help for the people that are trying to survive. But yes, let's talk about how kneeling is how we let our brave soldiers down.

Here is what Trump and others, like me, are saying. These asshat MILLIONAIRE athletes are fucking millionaires because of THIS COUNTRY. The greatness that is the United States. Yes, they have every right to "protest" or whatever the fuck they think they are doing. Nobody is saying otherwise. But here's the problem...it's shortsighted, it's lazy, it's meaningless. They are protesting NOTHING. They are protesting racism? I think 75% of the NFL is black. They are protesting police violence? Yes, there are alot of asshole cops. We all know that. How about the actual REAL problem wihich is black on black violence, as over 90% of black people are killed by black people.
Instead of being PROUD of the anthem and the flag and the country that made it possible for them to be millionaires for playing a GAME, they kneel and slap the face of every person that died for their opportunity. If they want to make a difference, they should be in their communities actually doing something. But no kneeling is easy and makes them think they are "doing something". It's GARBAGE.
You may not like Trump, and that's fine. but these millionaire athletes are fucking morons.
