Gepetto 979 Posted September 24, 2017 I don't support the protests, I support their right to protest. Snowflakes like you have trouble understanding the difference. And people including the President have first Amendment right to free speech as well to call them out for it in an effort to influence players and/or teams either not to do it or expose themselves for stupidity that appears as disrespect and hate toward our country and toward white people.

It's not rocket science it's common sense I dont think its 90%...my odd comment is that its offensive. From people who whine about others being easily offended. Peaceful protest isnt offensive.

It's not rocket science it's common sense You may be right, but I'd like to see an actual poll to verify your statement. If you believe the geek club represents American sentiment, it appears the majority, but no where near 90%. ETA: A little more than half is more believable. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/white-americans-disapprove-national-anthem-protests-poll-finds/ White Americans by large numbers disapprove of athletes protesting during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” according to a new poll. Black Americans approve of the protests by even wider margins. Some athletes have been refusing to stand during the national anthem as a protest of the treatment of blacks by police. The Quinnipiac University poll showed that the younger the person, the more likely he or she is to approve of athletes not standing or taking a knee. The poll, released this week, showed that white Americans of all ages disapprove of the protests by a margin of 63 percent to 30 percent. Hispanic Americans disapprove of the protests by a smaller margin, 45 percent to 36 percent. However, black Americans of all ages approve of the protests 74 percent to 17 percent. Overall, more than half of Americans — 54 percent — disapprove of the protests while only 38 percent approve. But there was a large generational difference in approval of the protests as well, with the older the person, the less likely he or she was to agree with the protests.

Gepetto 979 Posted September 24, 2017 And as predicted all of America lost in the long run. We have a president who can't get a single piece of legislation through congress, and spends more time on Twitter than learning about the actual issues and bills being proposed. That's on Congress, not the President. Take a Civics class again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted September 24, 2017 It's called integrity..............a foreign concept to the libtards to be sure. I actually respect the decision by you if your principles are fairly consistent. I hope you stick with it. I am very confident I'd quit watching the NFL if the owners as a group listened to Trump and suspended or "fired" players for kneeling. I've found myself considering what I'd do if just a couple owners listened to Trump, and I'm thinking my decision would be based on how society and the league treats said owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 1,285 Posted September 24, 2017 I enjoy watching the lions find the most bizarre rule book ways to lose. Plus, if protesting means actually putting on EFFORT to avoid sponsors, well that just sounds like work. Can't people tweet or post on Facebook or maybe create an online petition??
