    You've got to relax. The players will be in the locker room, more than likely, next year.
    They can sit and kneel all they like. I hope the players who are veterans are able to come out and show their respect if they like.
    They can stand in the locker room, just as you can stand in your living room.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Frankly I don't give a fuck what you think about me or my service. I have no reason to lie but if you think I am then have a ball. That fake $2000+ per month that has been going into my checking account for the past 28 years sure pays a lot of bills. LMAO!

    It's too bad that you & many see it that way.

    We should celebrate the exercise of those rights - even though we may disagree w/ the opinion being expressed.

    The issue isn't whether the players have the right to protest. The issue is why during the playing of the National Anthem.

Yes you truly do have a problem and it's all caused by you and no one else.
    TOP's been here five minutes and she's already plumbed the psyche of a long-time poster. Give me a break.

    Well, the timing sure got a lot of people talking - and that's kind of the point of just about any protest. I've heard people say that they should have done it more respectfully and not as publicly, but where would that get their cause?

    Pretty much all of them who I have heard have stated outright that they are not disrespecting the military by kneeling then. Intent should be all that matters, but people who want to distract have made it about that.

    Stay tuned. They'll be in the locker room next year until the anthem is played and the flag is raised, and no one will have to watch them "do it" at all

    Kaepernick started protesting way back in 2016. The only reason this form of protest exploded in the news was because trump opened up his big fresh mouth and called for those protestors to be fired. trump is so ignorant about the Constitution and symbolic speech. He brings the country down every single day.

    What's wrong with Martha and Snoop's business collaboration?

    The bolded is one of the scariest things about Trump. The way he talks about the Justice Dept, and freedom of the press - he is really more suited for a 12th century monarchy than a modern-day democracy. He seems shocked sometimes when he finds out his power is limited in some way.

    I just saw something on the news about how they're going after a low-level reporter for "inciting a riot" at a recent protest. They showed the video, and all he was doing was yelling eff you at a few people - and now he could face jail. Some think it's Trump testing the waters to see if he can start going after the media at large using the courts & intimidation.

    Right stupid motherfucker .. my 'place' is wherever I want to be. I repeat, I'm better off than you are.

    You and the fake 'teacher' can whine about Lynch and black players .. who are all better off then you two bozo's put together .. but it won't make any fucking difference .. they're still better off than you.

    Why you dummies think I'd give a fuck about what racist assholes think is hilarious. :0)

    Don't kill yourself motherfucker .. but you might. :0)
    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 you read Kap's statements when he started this bullshit, it's all about disrespecting the country. The cat's out of the bag, and now the players you refer to are just blowing smoke.

    What is your definition of "disrespecting the country"?

    Many have protested out of a feeling that the country is deficient in living up to its ideals & the principals set forth in the Constitution. I mean, isn't that what MAGA was supposed to be about?
