NFL National Anthem Controversy Summed Up

[boilermaker55]

Check out his rational for his mild form of prostest.

Yes he does. it seems you are the one left behind, as usual.

In the meantime, Kaepernick is a national hero,

Jeez.

Does he even know what the hell he is protesting? Not likely.

what is it then? what has he done to help out?

 

[easyt65]

How the hell do we deserve athletes?

'We elevate them to 'American Hero' status just because they can run the 40 in 4.0 seconds, can pass the pall, can dunk a ball, can throw a 100+mph fast ball, etc. This protest is just helping Americans who do so come back down to earth and realize these guys can be assholes like everyone else, that they aren't 'American heroes' - they are just people who can play certain sports really well.

Credit Trump for the increase in players protesting the National Anthem

So, he comments on them protesting so they protest a song? Fucking twits.

He commented on the protest, and it was pretty apparent from his tweets that he was pretty upset about it.

I mean..............there are lots of you conservatives who are happy that Trump is making the left go spinning in circles, even if his only accomplishment thus far is appointing a SC judge to the court. I've seen the comments posted on these boards where a lot of conservatives have said that all Trump has to do to be a success in their eyes is piss off liberals.

Well, there are lots of liberals out there who want to piss off Trump, and it looks like they are doing just that, by protesting the anthem.

What's even funnier, is it makes the Trumptards go bananas, which is even better.

All I am saying is, it's pretty retarded to protest the national anthem because you don't like Trump. The disconnect is breathtaking.

What disconnect? Trump is the direct representative and face of this country, and the national anthem is the song that represents this country.

Protesting during the national anthem because you don't like the way some things are done in this country or because you don't like who is running the country sounds like the perfect time to do so.

Leftism is about accomplishing nothing.

The Tragic, Forgotten History of Black Military Veterans
The Tragic, Forgotten History of Black Military Veterans

Take some time to educate yourselves on how "blacks" were treated fighting for democracy and then how long it took them to get to the "civil rights" of the 1960's.
And you talk about patriotism , maybe just from one perspective.
Little history reading goes a long way.
Kneeling during the "National Anthem" is a minimal reaction to the injustice some "Americans" have had to endure. Comparatively!

Tuskegee Airmen - Wikipedia

"The Tuskegee Airmen /tʌsˈkiːɡiː/[1] is the popular name of a group of African-American military pilots (fighter and bomber) who fought in World War II. Officially, they formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks and other support personnel for the pilots.

All black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force, and one pilot from Trinidad.[2]"

And your point is?

I met several of the Tuskegee Airman years ago, and you would be hard-pressed to find any greater, more patriotic people in this country. Are you saying they would agree with what these players are doing today? I would agree that they would still defend their right to do so, but I find it extremely hard to believe that the men I met would agree to disrespecting the flag or national anthem.

Despite their distinguished wartime record, the Tuskegee Airmen returned to an America unwilling to recognize their contributions. Racism and segregation continued to have a stranglehold on the country. Instead of being greeted with a hero’s welcome, the Tuskegee Airmen were segregated as soon as they disembarked the ships that brought them home. German prisoners of war were treated better than black Americans. It would be decades before their war efforts were acknowledged or even widely known, and it could be said that even today many people do not know about the remarkable achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen. Misinformation, or lack of any factual information at all, is rampant.

And your point is? Others see their treatment as how unpatriotic this country is to black. And the injustice they felt up to and including the Civil Rights movement of 1960's. And it carries on today, and leading the way is the pile of dog excrement that is in the whitehouse.

I don't know, but the US set the stage on how to treat someone equally and today that still isn't good enough for some. it's really ashame, the greatest nation in the world and someone wishes to piss on it. people crawl through deserts to get here illegally because it is the greatest place in the world and yet people making millions wish to piss on the flag that draws them here.

 

[mudwhistle]

And if USA won't tolerate Trump's snowflake brigades trying to steal valor from the military to justify bigotry? What then? I mean, you've stooped low before, but this is kind of a new low for you.

No matter. This will all fade in a week, when the Trumpflakes get their orders to get poutraged over something new. In the meantime, Kaepernick is a national hero, the issue of police brutality is front and center again, and Trump looks even more petty, weak and immoral. Liberals are pleased with that outcome, and we thank you for helping make it happen.

Thanks for the silly comment.
Totally 180 degrees out of reality too.
Typical.
