I guess being in chemical engineering doesn't mean you have a damn bit of common sense.

strong response. Good to know you have no argument against that. They literally talked to a serviceman and he suggested they kneel. Guy who served is fine with it but you are here with your panties in your vagina

BLM doesn't matter to me.

I'm more worried about propelling the "don't pay attention to dumb people's opinions" movement, seems to be weaker than ever these days.

Because it's apples and oranges. No one ever suggested standing and saluting a player when they get injuring you stupid phuck.

Oh wow, they talked to one serviceman who said it was a good okay! Awesome, he is the military source!

Let me burst your bubble too, there's a decent amount of military vets who did their time and got out and never had intentions of doing it for patriotic reasons and still don't feel strongly about their country.

This is what happens when people have massively cushy lives, and have an incredible quality of life in a great country.
They start bitching about inane ****e like microaggressions and some NFL player kneeling during an anthem.

Can you imagine what soldiers during a world war, or people at almost any point in human history (where invading tribes, violence, rape etc. was commonplace) would think about the crap we worry about these days?

I'm not offended, but I do think that it's a rather douchey thing to do. But I also support peaceful protesting, and believe the players can express themselves if they want to. Fans and owners also have the right to approve/disapprove of the players actions as well.

That said, the left fell for Trumps bait hook, line and sinker. He started talking about this because he knows that it would help him politically and lo and behold, the left fell for it. Now we are starting to have pop starts kneel during the national anthem:





The fact of the matter is that most Americans are going to find this distasteful and will not approve of it. The left is treading on very dangerous territory if they make protesting the national anthem a part of their agenda. Right now celebrities/athletes are getting on board, but note that Democrat policians aren't touching this one with a 10 foot pole (yet). That's because they know that these actons are very unpopular accross the board.

What are you talking about. The kneeling wasn't started out of respect for service men and women. It's very clearly a message that says, "FU america because you are F'ing me." At the same time he's wearing socks with police pigs on them. Seriously... are you that delusional to think he's trying to be respectful? He's using disrespect to gain attention.

Friggen go to a military base and ask 100 soldiers what they think. The vast majority or going to say something like, "It's his right, but it is disrespectful" or "It is his right, but i would never do that" ...

You do realize the snowflakes are the liberals such as yourself right? And just because they did 4 and out doesn't mean their opinion is the holiest and most venerable. Gotta find out why they joined and what they did. Someone who's service consisted of serving chow for a few years and never deployed isn't some badass who is the end all be all of patriotism and America.

I think the entire situation seems petty. The only thing that truly bothers me is the way people are reacting with hostility towards anyone who doesn't think the same things they do. So whether you think the NFL players are being anti-American, or if you think Trump is acting like a girl on her period in his responses, or if you think the issue of police gunning down innocents is overblown (or that it's accurate), I don't care. As long as you aren't being extremist. Because it seems like some more social engineering to me. More divide and conquer sh!t.

When people like you are pissed off because Kap kneeled, instead of questioning why he kneeled and seeing his point of view, you immediately condemn him; instead of having a civil discussion, and you resort to calling names.

Your "Blue lives matter" sig is stopping you from properly understanding the other side of the argument.

The whole point is to enrage people by kneeling, which actually is a very peaceful protest, and bring forth to the table the idea of police brutality.

You would be lying to yourself if the police are not taught to stereotype. However, black crime is going down, and in a few decades, black crime will be the same as any other ethnicity. At that time, it is important to not have any of this stereotyping bs happening. This is only the start of the movement, and Kap is exercising his first amendment right peacefully.

If anything, I want kids to look up to him to see his efficient, peaceful protest when he doesn't like something in the country he loves.

not even remotely offended at all

See here in America, we believe in this thing called freedom. Literally dgaf what some other ******* does during the national anthem. Are they being babies doing this and making a scene during something that is "sacred" to Americans? yeah they are...but then again the anthem was written by a wealthy slaveowner who straight up thought black people didn't count. So, you know...it's whatever.

Lol it's clearly not about police brutality anymore

It's about trying to stick it to Trump.. sad thing is these guys still haven't realised Trump is the ultimate troll

"This year the flag protests are a mass phenomenon, with more than 200 players taking a knee last week.Members of the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars appearing at Londonโ€™s Wembley Stadium even chose to dishonor the U.S. flag on foreign soil. But they stood for God Save the Queen, the anthem that was playing when most of Africa was placed under British colonial rule.These jocks probably were not history majors."

What a bunch of disgraceful idiots.

Police brutality is a problem, people exercising their right to protest during the anthem is not. I could give a **** what they do. The US isn't really the free country that the flag was supposed to represent anymore, and it didn't represent freedom for everyone back then. All of this **** is just a distraction to separate the masses further anyways. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kapernic was paid by Soros to start all of this fukery.
