No more Kneeling for NFL

[TOP]

Absolutely false considering Kap got his advice to kneel from a soldier. You can thank a soldier for NFL players kneeling.

Will you?

Nobody twists what you say, you just twist what you meant after the fact.

You're entitled to your opinion. But no one should be kneeling during the anthem...
Nate Boyer, btw, just got Kaep and friends and their rears off the bench...which was even more disrespectful...he told Kaeprnqick that had he noticed anyone sitting on the bench when he played, he would have been hurt...His reason for the suggestion to kneel was only to get the players to stop sitting during the anthem....you can read about what taking a knee means to him as a soldier and a man.
"We sorta came to a middle ground...."
Kudos and thanks to Nate Boyer for his service and his suggestion.
But now, it's not going to be an issue anymore...
(Nice try...Twist away any time you like...it's no big deal

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

People don't want to see a bunch of SJW/BLM sympathizers disrespecting the flag while trying to watch a sport.

Good on the NFL, finally listening to their FANS not the elite media.

So according to your idiotic cartoon, people who want to see athletes standing (or not present) during the national anthem preceding sporting events, are Nazis?

To call you an imbecile would be unfairly insulting to imbeciles.

Demanding that citizens act a certain way toward political symbols is authoritarian.

 

[christiefan915]

When the anthem is played, and the flag is raised, people, no matter where they are, should stand and honor both.
Of course a person has the right to not do either, but if they are not showing the proper respect to our nation's great symbol of freedom, they're disrespecting those who have sacrificed so much for the very freedom they have to protest...
Stay in the locker room, guys and gals if you feel the need. The majority of Americans will be standing tall, hats off, hand over their heart and singing loud and proud...

Good to see that you finally admit to supporting authoritarianism demands about symbols. Kim will be so proud of you.

What a moron, still repeating that lie after it's been debunked 15M times. Here, would you mind passing this to PIMP?

 

[christiefan915]

And you're entitled to your opinion. As are the ones who want to continue to protest. They're just not going to be able to kneel during the anthem and presentation of the flag...a special moment...I will be particularly happy that this more than likely means the end of that kind of "protest" at games and events where children are participating...
I'll be particularly happy to see no more "taking a knee" at games where children are the participants...

I would be particularly happy if the government and the military stayed out of sports altogether.

Like hate crime legislation that criminalizes the display of certain symbols?

Will do, komrade.

How about if politics stayed out of sports altogether?

Wrong again, pally boy. They can take a knee and get fined. And the team pays the fine. How about them apples?

LOL!

I'm sure the team will find a way for the "kneedy boys" to reimburse them for the fines...one way or another...How about them apples?
Should exciting to watch and see what happens

Don't go to the games...and don't watch until the first three-five minutes are over. That was easy...

 

[christiefan915]

Are you equating hate crimes and their symbols with our nation's flag and symbols?

FTR I never said hate symbols should be criminalized.

 

[christiefan915]

I'm good with that.

Too late. I already go to games and sit through the anthem. Same with watching on TV. Do you stand at home during the anthem? I bet not.

When citizens are forced to by government it is. Employers can demand specific conduct from their employees while on the job. There's nothing authoritarian about it.

 

[Legion]

I'm good with that.

So any athletes in the NFL who want to politically protest should do it off the field.

So you say. Post video, or admit you're a liar.

That's very disrespectful and sad.... But, then, you're a Steeler's fan, aren't you? So I'm not too surprised....
(We Always stand for the anthem (and the alma mater...we also sing....heck... We play the anthem at our swim meets... Everyone stands....if they don't, we ask that they do. And they do...our athletes love the tradition)

The football players have all the rights than conservatives have. I read they have the option of staying in the locker room. Be interesting if the whole team waited there. The players were not involved in the decision. it was one that only impacted them.

Answer is easy. Quit having the national anthem played at sporting events. It is a relatively new phenomenon and should be stopped.It causes unneeded strife and trouble.

This whole mess is Trumps fault. He paid no attention to why players were kneeling. He turned into something it was not. Trump lies as he breathes.
