So i read that he has nothing to do with the playing of the anthem or telling the team's and players to stand etc. (Referring to the post Brian made )
More of using it almost a commercial. ?

Maybe this link will be more clear for you.


http://atlantablackstar.com/2016/09...-anthem-stage-over-the-top-military-tributes/

[FONT=&quot]At a time when professional athletes such as [/FONT]Colin Kaepernick[FONT=&quot] are labeled as unpatriotic for refusing to stand during the [/FONT]national anthem[FONT=&quot] at sporting events, it turns out that the very displays of patriotism and tributes to the armed forces on display at those games were paid for by the U.S. government. So when those teams tell the players to stand for the ?Star-Spangled Banner,? it is because the fake patriotism is bought and sold like a commodity.[/FONT]

What do u mean more clear. Was I right or not. The first link said nothing about paying teams and players to stand and play the anthem or??

I will hit this link and read it too. Be right back [emoji202]

So that I understand the semantics correctly, the taxpayers pay to have the national Anthem played before a sporting event? Maybe due to the airtime cost because of it?

I don't know, above my pay grade...

What does that change?

Anytime the Anthem plays at a game, we should stand and show our respect.

Ok bobby, I am back. I find it to be a marketing strategy etc etc, not jus to pay them to stand for anthem, but if they are brought out for the anthem and stand, then the young person watching that actually looks up to the players and teams, might say hey , I can join the notary and might make it on the field one day, look at how they * NFL, looks at the military and our country. In a nut shell

As a tax payer, I completely dis agree with my dollars going to this and the NFL and or any proud American should respect the military and want them there at no expense, so two wrongs don't make it better

I just woke up a bit ago and am watching it.
Fucking Browns have pissed me off already 3 games in.
Cinci is my #2 team but I'm just about over the AFC North altogether.

What exactly are these players trying to accomplish?
Do any of them even know?

My Dad (RIP) was Combat Control, lifer, tours all over he world and lots of secret shit, then superintendent of corrections.

I used to call him Sgt Rock easy company, but he preferred 'Gunny Highway".

He would be the first to say that these players have every right to do whatever the hell they are doing for whatever the hell they think they need to do it for. He would then ban the NFL from his house.

It's why I keep asking WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH???

The means to an end only work when the "end" is clearly defined.
What is the end goal?
Is it to raise awareness for something? (Because it's pretty fucking vague) Is it to change a policy? Bash cops?
Link to BLM? Or are they just being assholes, with no clear understanding of what they think they are doing?

I think you already know, I'll only go back to Friday night. Trump called Kap and other players SOB's at the Luther Strange rally and requested NFL owners fire them for kneeling during the Anthem. Trumps been tweeting about it since. Many owners, executives and players have solidified in support of free speech, among them Robert Kraft.

AGAIN I ask, WHY are they kneeling? WHAT is their goal? Is it just now a pissing match? Do you want them to ignore the anthem just to "one up" Trump?

Personally I say that the players are engaging in the same fucking pettiness as Trump. It's fucking stupid.
BUT they are shitting on the anthem and THAT is bullshit just to prove a point...and no one can clearly outline what that fucking point is.

I know you are reveling in glee every time you see a doucebag take a knee.

Agreed.

I couldn't stand bob or his agenda, but I didn't shit on my country because of what I thought of a shitty president.

Fucking grown ass men acting like children.

Disgusting.

I just told you, now the cause shifted from Kap and others to solidarity against Trump because of his rhetoric.
I'm not reveling because they are kneeling, but yes, I'm enjoying the negative fan fare Trump is receiving. [emoji106]
Don't expect me to argue with you about it all night otherwise everyone will go back to the lounge that normally don't post in here.

You mentioned the Cowboys and Elliot earlier.

Do you think the Steelers may have stayed in the tunnel to defend their rapist QB?

What does Kap even have to do with this anymore, he played himself out of the league. Loose you're job and then complain cause of skin color when you are a distraction and non contributor?
what other company will stand for that?
I wish Trump would JSTFU. But he won't.
Stefon Curry as much as I like to watch him , cost all his lesser talanted teammates a once in a lifetime experience, while he will no doubt turn this into profit for himself. Fock them all! That flag put them thru school and made them millionaires.

I thought you said earlier it wasn't about the military. :p

I should have put a ":p" to show my sarcasm when I was quoting you.

I don't recall saying "it isn't about the military". I said, go ahead take a knee, just don't get butt hurt if I say something about or don't agree with it is all.

They should still get a refund though... :p:p:p

It all makes perfect sense given every Democrat at the NFL congressional hearings in 2009 said Football causes Brain Damage and Dementia.
Trump is just proving the findings of their own arguments by the players actions in 2017.

Presumably Trumps call to boycott the NFL goes on for awhile, what is everyone going to do instead of watching the Super Bowl? [emoji458]

No one took away their right to do so and no one took away their right to voice their opposing opinion about it.

Stop making it about our soldiers, or families but let's make it about the players doing it! Sorry man makes no sense, but I'll go along with it. You care about their right to be able to protest and I'll care about the right of people that oppose it. First amendment hard at work here.

Has nothing to do with Trump.

It absolutely does, there would be the usual minimal coverage had he not called players SOB's, insist owners fire players and went on a Twitter rant this weekend.

I'm sorry, I forgot who much of a libtard you have become.

News flash snowflake. Non libtards can manage their own thought. We don't need a leader to tell us people protesting the National Anthem is idiotic, and we don't need people to tell us to boycott.

I'm not talking about the Anthem, I was asking what everyone that Trusts in Trump to boycott the NFL will do when the Super Bowl comes. You don't read well I see. [emoji57]

Sorry snowflake. I did read. The same people who today are saying they would boycott I believe would have made that same decision if the libtards playing football continue with their idiotic protest. Read slowly, it doesn't matter what Trump says or does. We don't need a leader to tell us what to watch or what not to watch.

No shit sherlock. You asked what everyone protesting today would do. Bobby said he would watch the superbowl which is fine, he can do whatever he wants. Then you said in trump we trust. I said trump has nothing to do with it. Not hard to follow along if you are not a libtard.

I'll say it again real slow for yah. Those that are boycotting today, would still probably be boycotting, regardless of what Trump says or does. How is that so hard for you to understand?

I'm still trying to find out who's boycotting, no one has spoken up yet hence the hypocrisy.
But since you're be obtuse, why did so many more players do it today? What was the catalyst? I know you can't answer those questions because it proves my point. [emoji57]

So after 19 pages, can someone explain to me why Trump supports statues to those who took up arms against fellow Americans and killed them yet has a problem with someone kneeling during the anthem?

If Trump does not support the rights of citizens to protest their government by kneeling during the anthem, how can he support statues to those who protested their government by taking up arms and killing fellow Americans? :headscratch::headscratch:

Again, I have to remind myself I'm speaking with a libtard. I'll try it this way... Trump has nothing to do with what people do or don't do come Superbowl time. Is that simple enough for you?

NFL = a league where you get fined if you openly prey to your God of choice on the field before the game, but showing no respect for the flag that allows you to complain about not being equal, but you are making millions it is OK. Something not right IMO!

Either you just took up this argument and don't know the happenings since Friday night or your Trump drunk, probably the latter as you usually are.

I'm going to boycott Firestone Tire stores because when I was at taco bell last week they screwed up my order and gave me two tacos when I asked for a cheesey nacho's. If you can understand how stupid of a boycott that would be, then you can understand why anybody would see removing statues representing the founding of this nation has anything to do with Kapderdick, or any of the other ignorant fucks protesting of the National Anthem becasue they think the big bad po leece kill black people for no reason.

I am not holding my breath that you will get it.

I'm sorry snowflake. I know you can only act if your leader tells you to do something. That is why you can't fathom the thought of people boycotting because they chose to, and not because their President says so.

It is possible that many here could give 2 fucks about your inquiry.

As your post above clearly shows, all you are doing is foreshadowing yet another construct to call people hypocrites, Trumpkins (or your most recent phrase "Trump Trusters" or whatever".

Besides, is anyone did answer you would just ask for proof and call them liars.

Huh,

I must have been lied to by my history teachers in 5th grade as they told me this Nation was founded in 1776 and the civil war was in 1861 to 1865, 85 years after the founding of this Nation? :headscratch::headscratch:
