If everybody thought it was too ironic to protest, we'd never have protests in the first place. This doesn't seem to be a very helpful observation.

almost as weird as the people who say he doesn't have a right to protest because he lives in America where the flag..... disallows.... his freedom ... to protest?
I think dragging the entire team into his protest was the "dooshiest" thing he has done and the real reason his career is likely over.
Maybe not, I still find it funny none-the-less.
Which was penned after we won our freedom.
You're gonna think about it the next time the league or some team goes all red, white and blue before a game. Maybe you'll turn to the person next to you and say, "you know what, this is stupid." And if you don't, maybe a bunch of other people will who wouldn't have before.
And Kaep would have only been 3/5's of a man anyway, so really we're only talking about a 60% protest in that context.
I found it hard to miss. They were standing all around him.
guy sits down, camera pans in front of him, team collapses from the weight of the pressure and forfeits, franchise folds
Reminds me of one of my favorite FFA posts ever. I believe it was in a thread about some person killing their own mother. FBG Nigel Tufnel posted:
If the team didn't want a political statement at the beginning of every game, they might consider not having a public referendum on people's patriotism at the beginning of every game.
I've invented a pill...that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
Right, and what's positive about that?
It's a pill that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
Could it also give worms to ex-boyfriends?
This is a drug for the world...to give worms to ex-girlfriends!
Well, great. Thanks for stopping by.
You just don't get it here!I did. And took off my hat. and knocked the hat off the punk kid in front of me, in the express line at the Piggly Wiggly. But that was mostly because he had 13 items.
The Niners and their players don't have a choice in the matter. It's a league issue. I don't see what your discontent about the national anthem has to do with them. It's not their fault.
As Scooby noted a few minutes later, it's not just advertising, it's a political statement of its own. It's just been an uncontroversial one until now. Maybe some of us can change all that.
Your logic would extend to any player having any opinion. Ever. Tom Brady is friends with Donald Trump! Now poor Dion Lewis is going to be asked a bunch of Donald Trump questions. How dare Tom! Whatever you feel about Kaepernick, your argument is spectacularly stupid. Even for the internet.
it is more relevant. But I have yet to hear a coherent arguement from those against the national anthem. The team and league is excersizing their right to portray and conduct their business as they see fit. The player used his right to express his opinion and has to accept the consequences. There is no one being wronged here. There is no real issue. Free speech is working. The only point that makes any sense is the phobia of nationalism which has been expressed. Other than that, where is the problem?

"Lookit that colored fella just standing over there. I bet inside he's got ideas. Who does he think he is?"
You can't make a coherent arguement against having the national anthem so you drag in racism to this. Classy.

Pretty sure this is about racism, chach.You can't make a coherent arguement against having the national anthem so you drag in racism to this. Classy.
Kaep was attempting to make a point about racism. This discussion is about him being a classless turd and being criticized for it. The color of his skin had no bearing on that. Why not articulate what the real concern is the lefties have with the national anthem? I have asked a dozen times in this thread and all I get is crickets.
jonny, in this situation you really can't discuss one and not the other.
This was discussed for numerous pages without the issue of race. The issue which was discussed and is in the OP is about standing for the national anthem. The race issue is a diversion. The race issue was not a point made by his critics.
There are 20 pages of arguments against the anthem before athletic events. We're getting a little tired of having to carry your lazy butt in this thread.
First off, exactly. This thread was about the anthem and had zero to do with race. Second off, there still has not been a legitimate point against the anthem except for some phobia about nationalism. You are not carrying anybody.
You in the minority, but also a little wrong even though IU agree with some of what you wrote
