NFL: League NOT seeking mandate for players to stand during anthem

[Stretch]

The most vocal Libertarian in the Senate feels that restaurants should be able to turn away black people. He claims the free market would correct the issue, as people would eventually stop frequenting that place.

In this era of a pro Nazi White House, people would flock to that restaurant in order to avoid having to mingle with 'others'.

WHAAAAAT? Who is this idiot Senator?

NFL players are employees and work for the team owner, not for the stadium.

Unions go out on strike all the time in an act of protest. Why does it matter who works for whom?

Rand Paul...like his father before him. He gets himself dizzy when he tries to backtrack from his original comments. You can see he tries to walk a fine line, while still adhering to his belief that private businesses should not be encumbered with pesky Fed guidelines with respect to racism, ADA compliance, etc.

i've gone over this a zillion times...
You not caring about the flag/anthem being hijacked for a marginal issue
(marginal meaning important -but far from universal) is the minority.
More people care about the brief but significant nod to the flag/anthem "and which it stands" then not.
America is still a fairly patriotic country.

talking about it isn't influencing opinion, nor it is specially productive without means of redress.

Trump was speaking for us deplorable. I do not expect or particularly desire your pleasure

OK .glad we agree on this. I have given you a couple of scenarios of eliciting awareness without the blowback from disrespecting the anthem
good protests also work to change public opinion. It's more then base awareness that effects change

Stopped right there at the bolded. Couldn't read another word.

A 'marginal issue.' Innocent people are being murdered and you call that a marginal issue.

You've validated everything I said about you not having a clue.

Thanks for the discussion.

THAT is absolutely true.

[Althea]

THAT is absolutely true.

So in Libertarianland, how many people must die or be maimed before 'the free market' works itself out?

Yes, he doesn't believe it's the federal govts role to determine who can fratinize with who. And the reason restaurants and other places wouldn't go back to the days of segregation is because those who originally segregated made more money serving the entire market. And in 2017 people would be rightfully ostracized setting up a restaurant that wouldn't serve everyone as well as the people who would frequent it

You tell us as you and your democrats support the drug war and militarization of the police

Ya now there is a memo from league commissioner sent to all league owners for their players to stand.

Maybe you need to ask him to resend it...

The overpaid America hating ingrates can keep shitting on our flag and country and the owners can sit back watch their shit business go right down the toilet.

The NFL sucks.

The real reason is that Koepernick is nothing but a third rate backup QB and attention whore. This is why he's persona non grata in the NFL.

to Libturds like BlackAsshole, "innocent people" are just those "unfortunates" with a rap sheet as long as my left arm.

Very informative article, thanks. I have a problem sometimes with Libertarians anyway, it's just me and I'm not badmouthing them. Their thought process can be confusing.....start off sounding like apples...then like oranges...then like a combination of the 2 without taking a firm stand one way or the other.
I don't however, given what you gave me to read see him as ever having been a ranting bigot. He seemed to be concerned with the minutia for the blurred lines between public/government discrimination issues and private business/club type idiots looking for any reason or justification for discrimination based on skin color.

I'll go with the closing interview.............


BLITZER: Doctor Paul, I want to be precise. Did Woolworth, the department store, have a right at their lunch counters to segregate blacks and whites?

PAUL: I think that there was an overriding problem in the south so big that it did require federal intervention in the '60s and it stemmed from things that I said. It had been going on really 120 years too long. And the Southern states weren't correcting it. And I think there was a need for federal intervention.

BLITZER: All right so you've clarified, you would have voted yes in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

PAUL: Yes.

"stopting right there"changes my meaning. the next line

(marginal meaning important -but far from universal) is the minority.

finishes the meaning.

I really don't think you are interested in discussion at this point as it were anyways

yeppers.. Libertarians are civil libertarians..that's a good thing

Perhaps generally speaking, but not everywhere. Which is the fallacy with Libertarianism. It relies on humans to do that which is contrary to human nature.
