If so, why?

Most of them are crying about the president calling them out. So what do they do? Cry some more.

I see what you're saying but that doesn't answer my question.

No, I am not.

I love my country, and we have the freedom of speech.

The athletes are bringing attention the police brutality, in the most respectful and efficient method of creating controversy. It's reaching millions and bringing forth discussion.

The first amendment is an amazing thing that not every country has, and I'm truly blessed mine does.

Offended? No. Irritated at the amount of attention it gets and it's on entertainment programs I like to watch? Yes.

100% agreed.

Yeah we can thank the media for that. Trump didn't make things any better either.

Then, yes. I'm offended that so many grown men give into peer pressure. Wouldn't take knee for **** if I was in their position. You're only on the same team because someone offered to pay you money and not because you volunteered your time or service for some sort of cause. Only a few players have dedicated their time to any sort of real cause that requires any of their time.


Any of them make enough money to where they can leave if they don't like it. We live in a country that won't stop you from leaving... so leave if it's so terrible.

No. tired of hearing people fking talk as if they care about it. Negged *******

NFL players are privileged millionaires playing a game. They received that privilege by the very freedoms the national anthem represents.
Most don't even know why they are kneeling. Just to join the crowd...Systematic police shootings of blacks are false , myth created by liberal nut jobs with an agenda.

So this whole Kneeling business is absolute insanity and makes the US look like fools...thank liberals for another black eye to the stars and stripes.

**** is retarded. why the **** are the always protesting and desecrating the flag anytime one small thing happens. brb some walmart worker said something racist so im going to take a **** on the american flag. these people hate this country always have and always will. they are always looking for some excuse to diss this country.

I'm offended b/c they're setting a terrible, unpatriotic example to the impressionable youth. While they could be voicing their opinion or actually doing something about it, they're disrespecting everything that the flag stands for and as for the young in mind, they cant differentiate between kneeling for racial rights and what they claim as freedom of speech from everything else the flag stands for thus creating a miscommunication and ultimately the wrong outcome causing more dissegregation than before this whole scandal began.

Collin caperpicker is a dumbass fukin *******. Bet you he's never played chess and analogized the foresight required when playing chess to life. Fuk, I bet he can't even play checkers


I think the solution is to put out positive propaganda and educate what the flag stands for and demand that Collin retake middle school history classes for the rest of his pathetic, attention seeking, insecurity ridden, ugly ass life and only when he is old and frail should we send him to his country of origin to rot while we treat our old folks here in America with the finest care in the world and daily bingo games

Edit: offended isn't the most fitting word, astonished/disappointed/ashamed for them. Just think of all the urban youths (b/c many watch the NFL) that don't know any better that are now growing up (at least for a portion of their life) thinking "Fuk the flag" or "i'm better than the law." If this persists I have a strong feeling we will feel the repercussions in years down the road. And if my prediction is right, we're only gonna see more crime and more segregation because of this senseless "act of courage and freedom of speech"


Cliffs: FUK COLLIN CAPERPICKER

Offended? Never.

But there is a time and place for it, and on the football field is not it. Especially not when everyone is paying to watch entertainment, not political bullchit.

I personally don't care and still watch the games.

But do I find it kind of ironic that men who make about 1000 times more than I do are pushing so hard for "equality"? A bit, ya.

I am rustled by the fact that we have so many giant problems looking on the horizon - healthcare, social security, education, wealth gap, massive unemployment (automation), environmental destruction, lack of affordable housing in every major city, and on and on...

and we spend our effort talking about trannies and now this chit. Fukkin great.

Not offended. I do think it's stupid, though.

No because I’m not a ‘Merican snowflake. But annoyed our stupid President had to stir the pot that mixes sports with politics. Sports should be a refuge from politics, not another thing infected by it.

I couldn't care less if I tried. I think athletes are paid too much anyway so I'd like to see what happens at the end. It's like tv but in real life. But it takes too long to get to the next episode

At this point I have to agree man.

I'm the first to defend anyone's right to protest, but noone can even remember what the fuk they were protesting anymore. The whole kneeling or not kneeling thing has become the issue. If anything it's distracting from actual issues lol

Take an economics class or just watch 10 minutes of relevant Youtube material.

Only people who'd get offended by Americans' right to protest are morons so I don't even care what they think.

Bruh can't you just give more info lol

There’s 2 major issues that have people riled up and no one is distinguishing them. Hence the fuk fest of hurt feelings.

Issue 1: protesting your political chit at “work” typically doesn’t fly. They get a pass, people are butthurt.

Issue 2: they have a right to say “I don’t respect what we’re doing right now” and anyone who disagrees with that is against what the flag stands for


Personal opinion: just shut the fuk up. Kneelers, shut the fuk up and play football. Trump, shut the fuk up and act like a president. Flag dick suckers, shut the fuk up and recognize your rights in action.

Libtards meanwhile are having a field day

The moron Kaepernick that started it was along the lines of domestic terrorism with black lives matter and anti-law enforcement sentiments.

The fact that this season more idiots who don't understand law enforcement and want to create problems did it was super irritating.

First amendment does not apply to your job. The NFL owners have every right to take action, but they're pussies.

The fact that all these idiots jumped on the bandwagon because the president said not to is pretty said. That we live in a country that defends these morons is disgusting. The national anthem is not the time to make your stupid political statement. They have all these social media outlets where morons like NFL players and Hollywood elitists share their ignorance, why take it to that level? Feel like you need more attention by being ignorant?

I have no clue what any of these idiots intend to accomplish. The fact that those in prominence won't condemn it, especially Goodell, is troubling.

They are all saying Trump was divisive by calling out the idiots kneeling. Wouldn't one argue to kneel like an ass to protest alleged police brutality is way more divisive? I mean that would only make sense. A couple of idiots who know nothing of law enforcement got upset and assumed racist cops killed innocent black men based only on race and it was brutality. They ignored all facts in the cases and went just based off of what most idiots do, emotion.

They are setting a poor example to the kids that look up to pro athletes. It's embarrassing and even the locked armed thing is stupid. Now raising the fist is making it's way on to the field? You're fighting for all the black men in the NFL who are so oppressed? Or the other black men in the country who are successful? Sure racism exists, but this is nothing like the civil rights movement when black people were treated like chit and it was public. To say oppression exists because a white cop killed a black person is beyond idiotic. To try to bring alleged attention to the situation by kneeling during the anthem is ill informed, way off base, ignorant, and does nothing.

Most jobs would punish someone for acting like a complete buffoon. It's a shame the NFL are cowards and bowed to this. The anti-police movement in this country is sad and seems louder than it is because the people pushing it have a platform. I just hope there are enough intelligent people to realize these are water heads who play sports and not someone to look up to.

Must suck if you love NFL and have to deal with this stuff.

the media is the fuarkin worst. they just wont shut the fuk up about it 24/7

Without looking right now are you aware of what the word "ignorant" means?

Cause I'm really searching for how it applies to this situation.

Kaepernick began all this crap with Obama's blessing to create division to help Hillary win.
AND has continued to this date as a desperate ploy by the left to create chaos because republicans are in charge.

Conservatives are just as affected by the ehco chambers and confirmation bias as Liberals.

I just read on wiki that Collin is extremely religious...If this Collin ******* is such a man of righteousness and justice then why doesn't he protest the holy cross b/c of the injustice caused by priests touching little boys? Nah, he kisses his tattoos that reflect the Bible when he scores a touchdown and he says he owes everything to God. I'm sure he has a stand on this matter but he still respects and shows praise to the entity that has granted him this opportunity (he says it's God). Mother fuker, Americas given you opportunity and provided you with massive amounts of wealth that most people will never achieve, why don't you thank America, show some respect and owe IT everything you've gotten and speak up about issues that you're passionate about in a proactive way instead of putting off all that is America for a single flaw. Fuk this ******* I swear I would beat the living chit out of him with my cock, sprinkle my pubes on his head and wipe my ass with his deformed nose if I had the chance. Yeah I mad
