LOL!!! As you are unable to refute my points, more and more you try to change the subject to me.
You've always been the subject of this debate. It's your inability to accept or even acknowledge the legitimacy of the players' grievances. This whole thread has been about how you refuse to do that, mostly because you're a pussy. Too afraid to have a conversation you know you can't win, so you try to shift the debate to your invented, improvised, personal standard of what "Patriotism" means. So you see, this debate is entirely about you. You've made it so.
Kaepernick is an anti-American ass.HIs words, actions and intent are clear.
Only if we apply the standard you made up on the spot to patriotism. And you made the standard up. You are applying your standard to patriotism when I say you're not entitled to that standard. You've done nothing to earn it. You've sacrificed nothing. You've struggled nothing. You're just lazy and entitled. A true moocher.
I'm not the one that invented the idea of standing during the Nation Anthem.
Kaepernick accepted that idea when he used his NOT standing as the way of expressing his "not pride" in his nation.
Me and Kaepernick are in agreement on that. Standing shows respect, not standing shows disrespect or "not pride".
I agree with him on the meaning of his actions and I am responding in kind.
He doesn't respect me, I don't respect him.
I think that every American who does feel "pride" in America, should consider what Kaerpernick has said and take him seriously, at his word.
