    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.

    We will see.
    The old policy in the old operations manual is what contracted players agreed to when they signed.
    It will be decided in court. Not here, or at the white house.
    I suspect it will end in some level of compromise after a drawn out litigation over at least a year.
    Meanwhile players will continue to take the knee.

    So you say, my brother.
    I find that she is just trying to pin down a known racist as to what his motivation for this thread is.
    IMHO that is not underhanded in any fashion.

    Flush it!

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

The correct context for the kneeling thing must include and address the fact that the situation is occurring at the workplace, and that the workers are in fact 100% free to find another place to work. It must also include and address the fact that it is not the government that is imposing the workplace conduct requirements that you are so against. If you must present the situation out of its correct context, then you are relying on deception in order to make your point. It won't work

    I challenge the lefties here to come up with an argument about the Constitutional rights of the kneelers being violated in any way, but the catch is that you must disclose and address the full and correct context of the situation.
    how did you feel about the mandated penalty or insurance of obamacare?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    That is really what this thread is about.
    Not a single con here stated that it's flat-out wrong to suggest Americans leave the country if they won't stand for the anthem. That's mind-boggling.

    I burst out laughing when I read this. I can't count the number of times "brother Legion" called me naive, gullible, too trusting and every other synonym in the book. Yet now he's done a 180° turn and claims I'm a mad schemer who's colder than a witch's elbow.

    And they claim to love freedom.
