No more Kneeling for NFL

[Evmetro]

Hey ev did you wind up on the wall of shame like me?

I don't know, but I would be honored to be if it is a place where lefties put people they don't like.

Trump is not afraid. All he has to do is sit back and let his opponents dig their own graves.

Hahahahaha! Er, excuse me. I am blinded by the light of your obedience to our Gloriously Glowing Orange Light-in-the-White-House. Pardon my temporary hilarity which is totally and absolutely inexcusable.

[Nordberg]

Was he?

I seem to recall he opted out of his contact (likely because he thought he'd be released by the team anyway) in March 2017.

Trump expressed what many Americans thought. Don't you care about their First Amendment rights?

Think about it. You think Trump had advanced notice that Kapernik was going to kneel? Of course he was kneeling long before Trump made a big deal of it while totally missing the point. Or Trump lied about the reason., Trump has no trouble doing that crap.

[Frank Apisa]

Lefties sure are salty about this.

Players can quit and go find another job if they don’t like it

Hundreds of other players willing to show respect

We need a president who shows some respect for our country, its institutions, and its values.

That's why I'm glad one was elected instead of the Hildebeast.

I hadn't commented. I respect the players right to bring issues they feel are important to the forefront. I disagree with doing it by kneeling for the anthem. I'm not sure what I think about this agreement. I'm trying to think of unintended consequences and what could happen down the road before fully embracing it one way or the other.

I definitely think there will be unintended consequences. I don't think the players will take this laying down and when half of them stay in the locker room I don't for one second believe that it will appease the fans that were upset by them kneeling. I'm sure this rule, even though it is supposedly CBA proof will be fought by the players union and it will get nasty. The horse has left the barn for the NFL and I think they're headed for even more trouble down the road.

For the record, as long as anthem participation doesn't become a scoring category in fantasy football, I couldn't care less what the players do during the anthem because I don't slap an exalted status on paid entertainers, and I've been in the stands around enough asshole fans that disrespect the anthem and get a free pass to know that much of this is just posturing on both sides.

I'm reasonably sure that everyone in the USA who watches current events knew that Kaepernick was kneeling, and why.

He can kneel all he likes, now that he's not playing in the NFL, nobody seems to care.

^ Respect.

Nobody? So this thread does not exist? wow, the deep state got me again.

[Gotcha68]

Yet here you are, telling me that my disbelief in your tales means nothing to you.

True and I will repeat if necessary. You seem the sort that needs to hear facts multiple times and even then, well...

[Sirthinksalot]

We currently have one who actually respects the Constitution. Sorry if that offends you.

This thread isn't about Colin Kaepernick. It's about NFL players.

You can make all the unsupported claims you like. A fact is something that can be proven.

[domer76]

We certainly know better than to impose our ideology upon our employers.

Such as refusing to issue marriage licenses to gays?

Fool

[domer76]

Liar is not a race, try again.

BTW, the NFL kneeling bullshit is over now. New regulations restrict the America haters to the locker rooms while the good stuff is happening. There is no sense going on and on about it, your side lost. It's over like Hillary's campaign. Move on.

Nope. They can kneel and not even pay for it out of their own pockets. Some loss!
