Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
The point is, we're talking about it. Along with the rest of the country.Really?
A) The first 50 or so pages before this was moved into a politics forum were mainly those of us arguing the talents of the guy in the title.
B) The last 25 pages have been the same right/left posters (who argue the current hot topic) arguing about who knows what.
Excellent work
I can't do that because I honestly don't believe that. You can call it that if you want, whether you truly believe it or it just makes you feel better.
Are you on FB at all? Or do you consume media of any kind? This is getting a huge amount of exposure, which is pretty much the entire goal of the protesters.Really?

Taking that one step further - those who are the angriest with homosexuals are the people who think they now have too many rights.
There's a national discussion as a result of these protests. The President of the U.S. has had to come out and make a statement about it (for better or worse). That's a pretty effective protest. They've called in the attention of a good part of this nation (probably some international attention as well) to what they're doing, with zero violence I might add.
he was the POTUS, the head coach, number one ......... everything that happened in those 8 years is his to own
off the field media day?
The other side is people that want the house pro athletes to shut up and be thankful before they get sent back into the fields
I don't know, you think so? Care to point it out yourself?
Didn't you just point it out in the previous sentence?
To respond to the bolded:
I'm not a fan of your list, but this one is without a doubt wrong. People are certainly more accepting of gays than ever before. (See polls on the support of gay marriage over time, for example.)
that's not what I said
The easiest thing to do is nothing. Just keep standing and stay quiet. Speaking up and taking the heat for it is hard.
When I go to an NFL game I stand and take my hat off and face the flag during the National Anthem. At that point I am not looking or caring if someone else removes their hat or if a player kneels or scratches his balls. I really don't care what they do because I am focused on the flag and how much I love the United States. If the guy next to me doesn't stand I really don't give a rats behind.
You're good at the condescending stuff.
I'm not going to look for quotes if that's what you want - but the US is much farther divided because of Obama and his 8 years
OK that's enough. Ryan Seacrest is an American hero g dammit. Guy has like 3,000 jobs.
personal responsibility
These are all things that can be done in addition to what's being done none. It needed something huge first in order to get the attention though.
I agree 100% with the conclusion, but I am absolutely confident I will reject your reasons for WHY that is the case
To be fair, he's in Arkansas. Which has somehow gotten worse in the last couple of years as far as state-sponsored discrimination against LGBT citizens.
Those that see racial injustice in the application of law enforcement (BLM) and those that don't (most local law enforcement).
ahhh but doing do offended the other sides ...... its very hard to pander to special groups without offending others
Trump throws it back at him and I think it is his way of making a joke like when he said he was inheriting a mess.
So in your opinion Obama should not have done anything to ensure homosexuals received more equality? That would've been better for our country?
then support the kneelers, you have every right to
The "Great Divider" was in office for 8 years, but you can't name a single divisive thing that he did.
Of course there are people who want different things, but as I said before: if you think we've made no progress on gay rights in the last ten years or that things are more divisive on those issues than they used to be, you're out of your mind. In 2004 the GOP used state constitutional amendments explicitly banning same-sex marriage as a get-out-the-vote tactic in a presidential election. In other words, conservatives were so opposed to gay marriage that the GOP thought that voting against it would be a stronger motivation to get to the polls than voting for president. Compared to that, fighting over where transgendered people take a leak is a walk in the park..
I think a lot of us could. It's part of the job. Are you suggesting he never did anything divisive? Maybe you should look up the term before you go down this path??
I never said that anyone can't be mad or not support players for kneeling. I do think that they are mad at the wrong thing though and trying to help them understand. It's not about disrespecting the flag or America and it never has been.
In 2015 your legislature passed a law that prohibited municipalities from enacting legislation protecting rights based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Your Supreme Court struck down a Fayetteville law based on that Act earlier this year.
Thanks, but I'm aware of what the term means.
and you can't deny that in 8 years all those things I listed and more are true.
I deleted my quite agitated response to this.
