Colin Kaepernick Thread and related anthem kneeling issues/news (2 Viewers)

This is pretty rich considering the left thinks that commercials with children saying "F Trump", comedians holding up bloody severed heads of Trump, and thousands of woman running around the streets wearing female genitalia on their heads is somehow appropriate.

They act so hysterical and biased in the way they ignore the things you mentioned it's hard to take seriously. 

Looks like Steelers had Villanueva apologize, what a joke. He shouldn't have to apologize for making his teammates look bad, they did it to themselves. Lame.

Just ordered a Alejandro Villanueva's jersey on NFL.com.  It's the top selling jersey the past 24 hours after he stood with his hand over his chest during the playing of the anthem alone by the tunnel entrance.  His respect being a veteran and the courage to stand alone for what he believes in is another side to this issue, he has the respect of NFL fans as displayed by his jersey sales.  Not saying those who kneel are wrong, but both sides need to be respected.

Did the Steelers ask him to apologize?

Lame interview to save face for the rest of the team, he had cleared it with the organization but not the whole team and all the coaching staff. He takes full blame, his fault etc etc.

I saw the interview. Indeed, I posted on it. But I didn't take it as lame at all. And I didn't see anything about the Steelers making him do it.

To me, it read like a pretty thoughtful, sincere guy who a) wants to stand for the anthem but b) wants to support his teammates and c) learn about the issues they raise. 

Your comments on what he said seem to demean a pretty thoughtful guy dealing with some difficult issues.

He is clearly a thoughtful and sincere guy, as well as the biggest hero of this whole soap opera. If you don't think Tomlin had some input on that interview I don't know what to tell you. Regardless, this guy is a great story out of this mess.  :thumbup:

Ask people in San Diego, Oakland, St. Louis and any other city like Minnesota that was told if they didn't give them a billion for a new stadium, they were going to leave them too. NO respect for their customers. None.

I agree 100%  But now ratings are sliding as well. Veterans want a national boycott on Veterans day.  Not good for the league.

Again I do not care who sits or stands but sitting on Sunday does not change anything on a Monday morning in a Detroit school or hood.  Getting out in the community can change things and people. That would require actual time and effort though.

 
Gotta hand it to Dallas. That seemed perfect. Team unity kneel. Separate from Anthem.

Yes, it fit nicely into that nice safe box that all of us white people would want during our sporting events.  We don't want to be bothered with concerns about things like racial inequality and police brutality when we have a football game to watch.

Not sure how you get that. The entire team unified for a kneel to show support for Racial Equality and against Police Brutality was strong. Felt like the opposite of not wanting to be bothered.

You know what? You're right.

I worked all day, my team is on MNF, I don't want to think about anything right now. I just want to relax and watch football. ####### sue me

So why do you care when these guys kneel then? That's really going to screw up the football game for you?

 
Daily Caller with a pretty big scoop about an NFL owner who is "******* livid" over the protest. Link

An NFL owner reached out to The Daily Caller Monday night to express his extreme displeasure with players protesting the national anthem.

“I am ******* livid right now. I see this **** and I lose my mind. It needs to end immediately,” the owner stated during the brief phone conversation on background Monday.

“I’ll give up football completely and find something else to do with my time if this continues,” he added. “This horse **** must end. These players are so out of touch. They disrespect our flag and then wonder why Trump won. It’s a no-brainer. This is so disrespectful.”

Oh, but wait for the kicker...

To be clear, the owner we spoke with is a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers. We feel this makes him uniquely qualified to put his finger on the pulse of everyday Americans, as opposed to possibly out of touch billionaires that own other NFL franchises.
