Only the fool thugs of the Trump right think that.By the same token, the players and the league have every right to peacefully protest then have that protest peacefully shoved down their metaphorical throats. The old days are still here.The fans have every right to peacefully protest then have that protest peacefully shoved down their metaphorical throats.
The old days are gone forver.
The Trump right thugs do not get that Real America does not want them dissing the players calling for national unity.
But they will.
The players don't grasp that the people who pay their salaries want to watch sports...not be preached to about racism! If the fans don't watch. The advertisers don't pay the big bucks. The Networks don't fight to hand the NFL truckloads of cash. The whole house of cards comes tumbling down.The Trump right thugs do not get that Real America does not want them dissing the players calling for national unity.
But they will.
What do these meatheads want ? A protest to celebrate inequality ?
I'm not a sports fan myself, but my guess would be is that what they want is to be able yo enjoy watching a football game without a bunch of irrelevant and offensive political bullshit being injected into it.
"Peaceful protest". That's what Trump and his supporters claim they wanted. You are showing that was another lie.
We are happy that the players managed to not attack the fans.
We still are unhappy that they are insulting the nation and it's citizens, at a sporting event.
That you find this confusing, is because of problems in your head, not ours.
There we go. You were offended over a show of unity. As I said.........not happy.
When you support the narrative that the nation is systemically wacist, you insult the nation and it's citizens, at least the white ones.
Doing that, is not a "show of unity" but a divisive political statement and an insult to the fans.
None of those fans, should ever return to that stadium.
Don't. That's their right. Telling others to shut up though is not.
Correct. The League has the Right to say what they want.
If they want to insult the nation and it's citizens, and their fans, that is their right.
Nothing I said, indicated that I thought they should be deprived of their right to speech.
My point was, that the op was wrong. The fans were not booing a "show of unity" but booing a divisive political statement that was very insulting to them.
Would you like to address my comment about the op? Or is that not the type of shit that interests you?
It's sad that you see unity as political.
Who were the ones who made it political first by kneeling or remaining in the locker room for the National Anthem?
You can't have it both ways. If you're going to bring attention to an injustice with political speeches and gestures then you can't very well complain if the response to that is political.What do these meatheads want ? A protest to celebrate inequality ?

Do you have any clue when it was that Kaepernick started kneeling? 9/16 under Obama. He was sitting before that, under Obama.
And? Kaepernick conveyed his disdain for America when he started kneeling. Whoever is/was the current sitting president is irrelevant.
I didn't see politics mentioned at all last night. Did you?
Whatever happened last night, you made the discussion political when you brought up Trump and his supporters.
I quote: "Peaceful protest'. That's what Trump and his supporters claim they wanted. You are showing that was another lie."
You made it political before Correll did.
What did I say wrong there? The accusations was that last night's show of unity was political. Point it out.
Problem is, you made your remark about Trump and his supporters BEFORE Correll made his remark about the display being a political statement.
I did. That doesn't make the display political.
If the display was not political then what did it have to do with Trump or his supporters?
I explained that.
You explained what it had to do with Trump? When?
I don't believe you've explained anything. What you did was assume that all the booers and those who support them are Trump supporters and in turn assume that they booed because they're Trump supporters.
There are two primary reasons people are criticizing these displays:
1.) They do not agree that expressing disdain for your country is the right way to highlight an injustice.
2.) They do not want to see or hear social justice displays or speeches or alternative anthems when they came to watch a sports event.
As for peaceful protests, conservatives want peaceful protests and they are right to do so. This does not mean they want to see a protest at a football game, even if it is peaceful.
By all means, protest peacefully. But keep it in the streets where it belongs (but not blocking traffic).
The left doesn't doesn't get that this is about doing the wrong thing. Disrespecting the flag by trying to make some silly-ass partisan political statement at a time set aside to honor the Nation is a direct insult to real Americans and especially those Americans of all colors who actually sacrificed and died to make and keep this nation a land of the free. These pampered twerps with their gold plated lavish wealth and lifestyles won't understand sacrifice until they are broke and out of a job which is exactly where their posturing will lead them. And rightly so.The anti-America far right don't get this is about doing the right thing.
Those far right thugs no longer represent the majority of America, their white privilege no longer rules America.
These thugs are disrespecting all of the grand sacrifices made by Americans of all colors for an America better than that of 1945.
So screw these wankers. They don't have to watch NFL. The players don't want them watching. Real America which is now the great majority of America does not want them watching.
These thugs just don't count anymore.
I can think of 2 things...the most reasonable answer is that a large number of people just don't want to be reminded of injustice and everything -- they watch the game for an escape from all that.....they claim......
Fans boo moment of silence to acknowledge inequality in NFL opener
The NFL season got off to a dismal start when fans jeered during what the league described as ‘a moment of silence dedicated to the ongoing fight for equality’www.theguardian.com
The incident was particularly striking because it was meant as a show of unity rather than any kind of protest with players, both black and white, linking arms.
“Some NFL fans booing the players for standing and locking arms in a moment of silent unity proves that for them the ‘standing for the flag’ was always about perpetuating white supremacy,” wrote Kansas City councilman Eric Bunch on Twitter.
What do these meatheads want ? A protest to celebrate inequality ?
The fact that Twitter blew up over this isn't so important.
Why doesn't Roger Goodell lift the season tickets of those in the crowd showing disrespect for BLM and Antifa?
They can see on video who is booing, and they know where everyone was supposed to be sitting.
If so I'm sure it is nowhere as bad as your own.I think you have a comprehension problem.President Trump is in the White House because the American people elected him President. You have a problem with the American people?It was essentially a vocalization of why Trump is in the White House right now.Fans boo moment of silence to acknowledge inequality in NFL opener

Yup, racism is so American that when you protest it, folks think you are protesting America......I suggest those folks learn what true patriotism is....The left doesn't doesn't get that this is about doing the wrong thing.

We happen to have an election coming up. It will reveal who the "real Americans" are. I'll save you some tissues.
I'm curious, Biff...what do you think Martin Luther King would say if he could see Black Lives Matter in action?Yup, racism is so American that when you protest it, folks think you are protesting America......I suggest those folks learn what true patriotism is....The left doesn't doesn't get that this is about doing the wrong thing.

they can take their cues from these men.....probably the most patriotic Americans who ever lived...because they believed in America more than America believed in itself....

Nowadays, people won't even wear a mask to protect someone else because of their "liberties" -- but these brave men went half way around the world to liberate Europeans while not even being liberated back at home....and those men didn't complain -- they just shut up and waited until America was nice enough to treat them equally...because that is how you fight for your rights....quietly and making sure not to make anyone else uncomfortable..

Of course they are. The white privilege cultural imperative of 1975 is gone.Only the fool thugs of the Trump right think that.By the same token, the players and the league have every right to peacefully protest then have that protest peacefully shoved down their metaphorical throats. The old days are still here.The fans have every right to peacefully protest then have that protest peacefully shoved down their metaphorical throats.
The old days are gone forver.
Think what? I made two comments; which one are you referring to?
In any case, either side has the right to peacefully protest and either side has the right to disagree and express it. Both sides have and both sides will continue to do so. So "The old days are gone forver [sic]" is not quite apt.
The nation should (and will become) unified behind the 'social justice' call for civil liberties for all Americans, Ghost, even for your ilk.The Trump right thugs do not get that Real America does not want them dissing the players calling for national unity.
But they will.
They're not calling for national unity, they're calling for people to join their social justice religious cult.
This election will reject the ''wrong" failing to be perpetuated by the right wing. You are crying already, are you not?The left doesn't doesn't get that this is about doing the wrong thing.

Some folk re so stupid they shouldnt be allowed to use cutlery.
Thank you for exposing your authoritarian beliefs, comrade. God help America if you people gain power.
