    So if a player waves a pro-life or pro-gun banner on the sideline you’ll support him ? Give me a break.

    Can you read? If his boss tells him not to, and he does, then no I don't support him and his boss can fire him. Yea, you need a break.

    A nat'l anthem should only be played at the Olympics.
    Another thing I hate is saying the pledge of allegiance at community council meetings. Why do I have to pledge my allegiance? Does that mean I pledge to not buy imported goods if I have a choice to buy domestic made?
    I'm not in the military. We're not at war and if we were I'm not aiding and abetting the enemy. The only time I said the Pledge was in grade school.
    It's childish IMO.

    Actually I don't. I just stand out of respect for those that do.
    And if I were an activist I'd kneel in protest against the Deep State and our corrupt local govt. In the end don't we all have something we don't like about our gubmint that we could protest against?
    I wouldn't mind taking a knee protesting how our uber-liberal mayor wants to turn our city into a paradise for the homeless.

    NFL owners admit Trump pressured them into banning player protests

    TRAVIS GETTYS
    24 MAY 2018 AT 09:03 ET

    President Donald Trump, in a rare display of modesty, refused to accept credit for a newly enacted ban on NFL player protests — but team owners admit he pressured them into the controversial policy.

    Players will not be allowed to protest during the national anthem under the new policy, although they may remain in the locker room, after Trump and some fans complained about silent demonstrations against racism and police brutality.

    “I think the people pushed this forward, this was not me,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning. “I brought it out, I think the people pushed it forward. This country’s very smart, we have very smart people. That’s something (that) ideally could have been taken care after it first started, it would have been a lot easier, but if they did that, they’re doing the right thing.”

    However, team officials admit they banned player protests to appease Trump, reported Sports Illustrated.


    “Oh yeah,” said Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy. “It was more how [Trump] might react, anticipating that. Also, how the fans will react, how the media will react. That’s what we tried to think through.”

    “No matter what we did, [Trump] would probably try to get involved one way or the other — either criticizing us or taking credit for the change,” he added...

    Turns out, the owners never voted. And they certainly weren't unanimous.

    There are always loopholes. Players can make a statement by opting not to stay in the locker room, and stand with clenched fists in the air during the anthem.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
