    I didn't tell anyone that they "couldn't"...I just suggested that the media focus on the anthem and those who enjoy listening and watching....Why are you so determined to be against that?
    Oh, never never mind...you already told us why You didn't mention social injustice at all...just "ass...h...es"....

    Anyone who has an entire game "ruined" because a few players kneel quietly in peaceful protest should refrain from ever calling anyone a "snowflake."

    The only reason you seem to be bothered by all this...

    ...IS BECAUSE IT IS WORKING.

    The message they wanted to get through...is getting through.

    And because the assholes giving them help are giving them help the way they are...

    ...and ancillary benefit is being reaped. People are seeing the anti-protest protestors...as the dinosaurs they are.

    Oh...and the assholes they are also.
    It's not "working"....

    I'm on your side on this, TOP.

    I want you and the others like you to keep on fighting. I'm sorta supporting your fight.

    I think the fighters are a bunch of useful assholes...helping the protestors get more publicity.

    Keep on truckin'!







    Oh, never never mind...you already told us why You didn't mention social injustice at all...just "ass...h...es"....
    I NEVER mentioned ass...h...es.

    I did mention assholes (the people fighting the protestors, the useful idiots)...although I suppose that is what you meant, right?

    You are in a turmoil...and so are the other folk like you.

    And the help Donald Trump and people like you have given to the protestors is wonderful. Don't for a second think it is not appreciated.

    Please continue.

    AND IT IS WORKING BETTER THAN SOMEONE LIKE COLIN KAEPERNICK EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

    NBA Team Values 2018: Every Club Now Worth At Least $1 Billion

    It's not outrageous anymore to envision a sports world in which NBA teams are worth more than their NFL counterparts. Investors believe the NBA has far greater potential to grow overseas than the NFL, which has struggled beyond the United States. NBA revenue outside the U.S. is growing at a rate in the high teens annually.


    The average NFL franchise is worth $2.5 billion, 52% more than the typical NBA team, but that spread has been more than halved in the past five years. The NBA is already selling at higher multiples: Recent deals for the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets value the teams at roughly eight times their regular-season revenue; NFL franchises are worth closer to six times revenue.

    “The NBA is extremely well-positioned for international growth,” says Sal Galatioto, president of leading sports finance and advisory firm Galatioto Sports Partners. “The product is excellent, and interest in basketball around the world continues to flourish.”
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbad.../#20d276147155

    The NBA is the most socially conscience sport in the world. It's players refuse to stand in the same room with Donald Trump.

    Don't like it .. don't watch. Nobody gives a fuck but you.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    If Frank says you're in turmoil, then you're in turmoil; because he KNOWS.

    Frank just knows his time on this earth is drawing to a close and it pisses him off, so he takes out on everyone around him.

    So sad
