It sucks but I am this season. Right after my Eagles FINALLY win the Superbowl. But if you can't even try to understand Beto O'Rourke's answer here it's gonna be hard to even have a discussion about this with me.
Just finished this. Good read. http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...ries-barry-sanders-record-setting-1988-season
What if you aren't boycotting but haven't watched it much in several years because it isn't very interesting and the game seems boring these days?
I hate the protests. I wish they would all stand on the line. I with there was another way to get through to people. HOWEVER, these players are getting America to talk about a serious issue of black men getting shot and killed simply because THEY ARE BLACK. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE TO ANYONE? The fact that these young men are doing EXACTLY what great Americans have done for centuries to help right wrongs should be applauded, not questioned. Our brave men and women have fought for their right to PEACEFULLY protest. It's pathetically slow, but because of their actions, change is happening. It's been said by almost everyone protesting that it's not about disrespect. My kids school had a teacher who was abusive to a student. The school suspended him WITH PAY for a month. He came back and my son, taking a page from players, turned his desk around in his class. He got in trouble, but a few weeks later, kids started doing it in all their classes. This led to the teacher "resigning" My son or the other students weren't being disrespectful to the other teachers, they were peacefully protesting a wrong, and eventually, it was righted I'm drunk and rambling, but that's my 2....er 3 cents Hopefully change will happen quicker, but until then, kudos to the players trying to make a difference
I rather felt sorry for the kid. He could be learning history or math, instead he is learning to create a useless scene.
Felt sorry for him doing the right thing? For those days he may not have learned history, but more importantly, he was a part of it.
This is for certain. Perhaps not. Perhaps it was just one more squandered moment in a scene of which there were many over the past 65 years.
Was a 49ers fan throughout Montana's career, watched him at KC, quit watching football when he retired. Every ten or so years I watch part of a game by circumstance, and it's noticeably less interesting each decade to watch. I am honestly surprised it's still a profitable business.
What the fuck do you stand for? What would you protest? For what would you assemble peaceably, to petition the Government for a redress of grievances? You claim to be a constitutionalist...
Perhaps I could join in on some changes that might be good for the country. But I see nothing good in creating a scene designed to piss off other people that might even be willing to help, if you had not piss them off instead. Disrespecting the Flag intended to be a unifying symbol for all of us will always be wrong for many. I can recall several times, I saluted that ensign, requested permission to come aboard, feeling so good and very fortunate to be able to do it one more time. It disgusts me to see other disrespect the same ensign and associated traditions. I have not watched football where this is done, the game is no where good enough to endure the insults. Any cause is totally hidden by the insult.
