You honestly don't get it do you Hanger? No amount of reason can persuade an unhinged loser.

The Intact Chapter of Mopeds Matter will always stand with repect when the National Anthem is performed, however, we could hand out foreskin restoration pamplets during the game.

Trump is a pigeon playing chess. He sure acts like he is a winner but so far he has only **** on the board.

The altleft wants to ban the national anthem. Falsely branded it "neo-confederate". Just wait.

Do you really believe a man who dodged the draft 5 times, conspired with Russians to disrupt an election, married 2 illegal immigrants, says the fascists and antifascists are equal and lied to the American people cares about someone not honoring a patriotic song?

It is not about the respect for veterans. It is about brown people asking for equal treatment. It is pure bigotry.

You can't seem to realize that people of all colors have fought for this country, not just white people.

What about our flag being used as a bikini?

How about a beach towel? Throw it down on the sand and lay on it.

What about our flag being used as underwear? Yes American Flag underwear.

Do you see that as disgracing our flag?

We did see what happened when a single player, quietly, prayed. Do you know who Tim Tebow is?


The media went into the frenzy and the NFL wouldn't buy into the distraction it was causing so now he is playing baseball instead of football.

You really can't see the difference in praying for our country and disgracing our flag in an attempt to keep thugs shooting cops can you. Sick

What if they were praying while kneeling. What if all these players that are kneeling were doing so to pray to their god for our country? Would that be OK? I bet it would. I bet all these people with their panties in a bunch would be extoling their virtues.

The ole green man Ben Franklin will determine the outcome. As for me, count me out. "N"FL and "N"BA lost me a long time ago.

In this country, rich people are not denied their constitutional rights just because they are rich. Rich people have the same right to peaceful protest that poor people do.

I think what is so upsetting to a lot of folks is the fact that most of those who are peacefully protesting the system are those who have obtained great wealth from the same system. Granted, most of them were blessed with strong bodies and great athletic ability, but from the time they graduated high school most everything was paid for. While I waited on and cleaned tables, floors and toilets on a work scholarship which paid about a third of my college cost, they simply honed their skills. Those who were at the top of the list were now in line for the multimillion dollar contracts. I can not help but wonder, if given the choice, between taking the money or losing it by protesting, how many would have taken a knee! There are many ways for those who have obtained so much from the system to help the oppressed rather than take a knee or seat at a sporting event

And people, and most importantly, NFL fans, are seeing it as disrespect for the flag, country and military.


Now. You do the math.

Kapernick was protesting and bringing attention to police brutality and legalized murder.

Others are protesting for the same reason and some as supporting their teammates.

Some joined when Trump tweeted they should be fired. Instead of concerning himself with PR he is worried about football players. Sad.

It has nothing to do with the klan.


And, you need to better inform yourself, and stop being racist. It's all ethnicities and backgrounds protesting in the NFL. You don't even know what the protest is about...my point exactly.

You right wing Nazis try to relate everything to god, motherhood and dead babies. You are the one killing everyone.
