"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility.

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.

Well, that's a question of quality. Up until yesterday, the play on the field was pretty poor, and the games were boring.
If people choose to boycott the NFL because of this, I just feel sad for them. Obviously, it's their right, but I wish they could embrace the opposing point of view and offer opinions of their own, instead of just trying to shut it down.
America doesn't benefit when we are some sort of conformist nation. I hate so many opinions on the right, but I would never want to just shut them down. I want everyone talking & expressing themselves to the fullest.

Jr is no legend by the way. His dad was and his grandfather to a lesser degree.

I think Kaep just wanted to get people talking. And he certainly did that.
He was very clear that it had nothing to do w/ the military. He saw areas where America was falling short, and wanted to express that by kneeling during the country's anthem. I swear, I'm still befuddled by the reaction. That kind of expression is what we're about.

I'm not advocating shutting down their opinions, just that they are choosing the wrong venue for expressing it.
If the players were so concerned about police brutality, then, again, they should hire a PR firm who would guide them in a much different direction. Heck, I can come up with a better way just off the cuff.
Imagine a series of commercials with the individual black players, in street clothes, as a regular dude, in the 'hood, getting harrassed by cops. Hidden camera work like Breitbart used to do.
Wouldn't that be a win-win-win? The player's reputation would be raised, the cops would be chastised, the league would benefit...
Bullshit. Kaepernick was played by his muslime girlfriend
Again, what has he done outside of taking a knee during a game?
How many other jobs are you allowed to bring your politics to work? Are you? Does your boss allow you to protest anything you want at work without repercussions?
I guarantee if it were someone like Tebow taking a knew over abortion, you would be shitting your pants. You just love the cause so you ignore the broader context. Nobody is saying athletes don't have the right to protest. Just that during and before a game where people to to escape the daily grind is not the place. You are assuming that everyone wants to see that bullshit. They do not.
BTW. Here are the NFL Rules on the National Anthem. Doesn't appear they are following them are they?
The NFL rules on the National Anthem can be found on pages A62-63 of the NFLs game operations manual:
The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.
