Panthers owner David Tepper: 'Dead wrong' to call NFL players' protests unpatriotic

[rightwinger]

It is absolutely unpatriotic, it’s not wrong according to our constitution, but it IS unpatriotic.

Bullshit. Protesting is absolutely patriotic. How do you think the US came about?

You don’t know the definition of “patriotic”. But then, you never did know much.

There is phony patriotism and real patriotism

Wrapping yourself up in the flag is phony patriotism
Fighting against injustice is real patriotism

 

[rightwinger]

It’s just lip service. He knows, as does everyone else, that protesting the anthem is a slight against America

Ask the person who is doing the protest

They say they do it to call attention to social injustice

They can say whatever they want. They are expressing disrespect to the Nation as a whole, during the National Anthem,


Fuck the kneelers and the League that supports them.

Giving the finger is disrespectful
Kneeling is not

When standing is done to show respect and loyalty, those who kneel are purposefully and actively showing disrespect and disloyalty.


Obviously.


Do you consider yourself a Patriot?

Peaceful protest is not disloyal

Peaceful protest is not disloyal

If a man were to stand, peacefully, on a street corner with a sign, that stated, "I am disloyal to America. Abolish America".


Would that be a loyal protest?


You moron.

 

[Penelope]

Kneeling is symbolic of reflection and prayer

It is not an insult to a flag that represents freedom

That’s such bs. Everyone knows the ways we honor the flag. Standing in the main custom. Sitting down or kneeling is the exact opposite of standing. Can you at least say that what they’re doing could easy be interpreted as a sign of disrespect? Now the answer is obviously yes....so.....I ask you why not protest in another manner?

Is standing against injustice more patriotic than standing for a flag?

Even if they were standing up for real injustices, the manner in which they’re doing it is disrespectful. And not only that but I feel like it’s meant to be disrespectful

They have been respectful for decades with no results
Now they are getting attention

Real Patriots fight for what is right.......not phony patriotic symbols

They’re getting attention for all the wrong reasons. The debate is about patriotism and respect for the country, not racial injustice. Besides Colin Kaepernick didn’t start us on a national discussion on what is perceived by many to be racial injustice. It seems like we’re always talking about race relations and racial injustice. I for one am sick of it. These players have achieved nothing. They haven’t raised awareness to a noble cause, they haven’t brought about change, they pouted like little bitches and that’s what they’ll be remembered for in history.

Only from Trump's base.

Who would notice him? No one. They never said they are disloyal to America or to abolish America either!

 

[Penelope]

If you protest racial injustice and police brutality, you protest America....period

Right, because racial injustice and police brutality are such patriotic things to do..

Protesting the national anthem in the name of racial justice, would be like me protesting the simpsons because I don’t like cnn. It’s misdirected rage, and hostility towards a country that has given these spoiled brats so much

It is a symbolic protest just like the anthem is symbolic

The anthem has nothing to do with racial injustice. After drawing the ire so many Americans following their protests, they should have had the common decency to change their platform. All these protests have done has divided the country.

The anthem has to do with a British attack on an American Fort

"the land of the free" who was free at that time? It has everything to do with racial injustice, for women as well as the poor whites and blacks, and the blacks were not free. Truth be known women were not either.

RIghtwinger made a blanket statement, that "peaceful protest is not disloyal".


My point, was, that peaceful protest can indeed by disloyal.


Nothing in your moronic post, addressed that at all.


Try again.

These players have the right to peacefully protest and are doing so. No on gives a damn what racists think about them doing so. As you can see they are not stopping. Nobody has to be grateful and ignore injustice because some white racists want to continue doing it. Whites have been given everything by this government for 242 years. You be grateful and stop whining about the government that has given you so much.

That is what NFL players are doing

Panthers owner David Tepper: 'Dead wrong' to call NFL players' protests unpatriotic


His comments come a day after Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills, who continues to demonstrate during the anthem, received an award, not to mention praise from Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, for his "contributions to social justice."

I would think so because there is too much evidence showing that your disagreement has no merit.

Wrapping yourself up in the flag is phony patriotism
Fighting against injustice is real patriotism
