Why are they kneeling? If I were them I'd be kneeling because the murder rates in America aren't equal across black and white culture. Black men make up 6% of our U.S. population yet commit more than 50% of murders in our country. And, a majority of the victims of those murders are black.
This is what I'd be angry about if I were the NFL players.
Sorry you're Wrong. They get Paid to play Football, not to protest. There's a Time and Place to get the word out and it shouldn't be during a game or during the Anthem.
It's One Game per week, 16 games within 17 weeks. That's 16 days out of 365, They can protest any of those other days
they are using Their Jobs to protest. Let them do it on their own Time.
I thought you were a Trump supporter.
Whatever. You know nobody reads threads down in that dump. So God forbid any thread you ever create would go there.
Its not about whether I like it. I clearly don’t care for it, who would? Shitmaker threads are just to kill time when you are on the shitter. He not only produces shit worthy threads. But his threads are also always toilet time threads. This is a sports betting forum. Just look at the titles I named off. That’s right now.
If anything at all I’m just pointing out the double standard.
I agree with this 100%, however, the NFL and team owners should be making the decisions on how to handle it. Not the President. As others have said, people disrespect the flag all the time at sporting events by doing “other things” other than standing with hat off and have done it for decades, if not longer. I know because I’ve seen it for the last 50 years. This is not something the President should be involved in. To use a phrase popular with Republicans here, don’t get your panties in a wad over something that’s not that big of a deal. Concentrate on football and forget this stupid shit.
Except it has nothing to do with the flag. The players arent talking about the flag at all. You notice that right?
Nobody has the freedom to do this in a workplace. Except, the Nfl isnt a normal workplace and business.
You can take it as offensive, but the very reason veterans fought for this country is partially for people to have the ability to do exactly what these nfl players are doing. For so long everybody says, man these athletes get paid all that money and never do anything when it comes to life issues. Well.....now....you guys are still bitching lol. They cant win no matter what. Fact is we all are human, and these athletes have to make a choice. Most of them are standing. You guys are aware of that right? Lol
Lmao. You guys are never wrong. Tried telling yall Kaep could still play. Evident blackball if Reid is now out the league. The two players who started it first are both out. One is now 26 and a former pro bowler. If you think Reid isnt good enough to play, Id like to hear it.
You both said Kaep couldnt play. And a lot more people said it on here... where is 5teamparlay when you need him? Somebody bump that
1) The average viewer doesn't see it that way. Maybe it's not about the flag but the run-of-the-mill fan sees it otherwise and that's a problem for the NFL.
2) Not a normal workplace? There is an employer and and employee relationship and a collective bargaining agreement. I'm not sure what else that would be besides a normal job?
