    They do have every right to kneel. And I have every right to think they're assholes for kneeling.

    Again you are missing my points... 1. Just because you have a right doesn’t make it right... 2. It’s takes away from the original message... in the end it does more harm than good

    I think XFL players are banned from kneeling. Maybe football entertainment is more up your alley?

    No not quite. Blame the racist hyper nationalist fans and owners who think all black athletes should do is ‘shut up and play’. The nfl has bigger problems than a few protesters but they are an easy scapegoat.

    If the owners try to punish players for taking a knee, I'd like to see every player on every team unite and take a knee. They can't punish all of them.

    Fuck exercising our 1st amendment rights?

    I'm sure you'd like your 1st amendment rights infringed upon when you want to express yourself too huh?

    Oh wait... :smiley-pat:

    I guess in your eyes those rights shouldn't be afforded to certain people....

    Just because you have the right to do it doesn’t make it right... do you not care that it might offend military families who lost loved ones fighting for our freedom? Do you think there is another country with more freedom and opportunity than United States? And do you think anyone is talking about the original message of police brutality or has it been lost because of the outrage of the flag issue? There are so many other platforms and resources bring awareness to issues.

    My cousin is in Afghanistan as we speak. He knows full well what he's fighting for.

    The right to be ABLE to kneel to a flag is an AMAZING right. You'd get killed in other countries. We should CELEBRATE the fact that in our country we can say hey, DON'T TRUST GOVERNMENT.

    It's really funny how the same MFs in here who don't trust government trust it's enforcers....

    It makes no sense...

    You realize kneeling as a form of protest was Nate holder’s idea too, right? He is an ex navy seal who thought it was acceptable and respectful. And since when is it a sign of disrespect to kneel? You seem to have very strong feelings about how they should show the government all this deference and respect but it will not show them any. This is the most powerful platform afforded to young black men these days, shame on you if you think they shouldn’t use that to save lives and better their communities.

    I've been over this. I don't care about your questions just like you don't give a fuck about WHY they're kneeling. :dunno:

    1 - if they’re so sensitive about NOT talking about police brutality and systemic racism that they’re offended by a person kneeling they’re probably garbage. No I don’t care.

    2 - upward mobility, life expectancy, and wage inequality are all superior in numerous countries. How about Norway, where all the best immigrants should come from?

    3 - the people kneeling keep trying to talk about police brutality but a bunch of garbage racist snowflakes have deflected away from the real issue because it might involve them self-assessing their own racism.

    Again, the people kneeling are right to kneel and the people screaming about it are garbage humans with a lot of internalized racism.
