As much as I wanted to watch DW4 today, I choose not to due to Brady supporting Krapernick. Sorry - but I don't roll that way. You have someone on your team that kneels, I turn you off. You call my president an ASSet with the "et", I turn you off every time I see you on my TV, and I boycott every product you represent. MY CHOICE. Yepper - I too have a choice.

Being a Vietnam Vet, these guys really pi$$ me off. Owners and coaches should be held accounable and fined. Players as Trump said, should be fired right on the spot, not after the game, but right then. This First Amendment they hide behind needs to be revisited and changes made. Sick of these punks.

Why? The owners have come out in support of them.

I think everyone should kneel in protest of Trump now. The players have already come out and said they support the troops and the vets. Trump is the reason the entire Steelers team is not coming out for the anthem in protest of Trump.

Nice spin Carl. The steelers are not coming out because they want to stick to what they are paid to do and that is play football. Nice try snowflake.

Which is exactly why the National Anthem doesn't belong at

sporting events in the first place. It only began as propaganda anyway. Save it for the parades. I came for the football.

I would think someone that served their country would know the difference. I would also think you would be a staunch defender of the 1st Amendment.
Thanks for your service though.

40 percent of the country is independent
Sep 24, 2017, 1:50 PM
[ in reply to I'm not at all against "freedom of speech" ] |
|
And roughly 30 percent are Republican and about 30 percent are Democrat. Because media outlets are nearly always aligned with either the left or the right, the 40 percent plurality of independents are not represented very well despite being more abundant.

I don't get it. You fought for this country but only want to allow people to exercise their rights if you agree with what their saying? I don't agree with what they're doing, but they have the right to do it.
Trump is a dummy, and players kneeling for the anthem is foolish...but when I see a dumb tweet or a guy kneeling I just roll my eyes. Maybe you should try it.

It's always the most freedom-loving people that call for people for to be fired first, isn't it?
Who exactly would fine owners? Where do you draw the line at behavior during the national anthem?

I'm confused. It was made clear during the election that Brady supported Trump. Now he says something in disagreement and you're not going to watch football because of it? Do you think you might be a little oversensitive?

It just looks spoiled to me. With millions realing from the hurricane and millions more around the world wondering how they will eat and have shelter tonight, to kneel because you are " oppressed" in America is ridiculous. Go to North Korea or even Cuba for that matter and tell me what real oppression is. You are paid millions to play a kids game because of the country you live in. Get over yourselves

And you would think with all of these problems, the president would concentrate on fixing them and not on telling pro athletes how to protest.

He's just expressing his right to say he doesn't like what they're doing. He didn't say they should be fired or stopped...he just thinks it's dumb. Look at a lot of remarks made on this thread...people are saying that the players who do this should be kicked out of the league--heck our president even said it! Those are the people who are being foolish, not him.

So you're saying that people shouldn't attempt to foster changes that improve society unless they are oppressed to a degree comparable to the people in North Korea?

The league is doubling down on their problem. Terrible move the ratings will no go from bad to a disaster. It was already suffering from all the unnecessary changes to the game.

LOL tiger king with the stupidity again. Please, if you can't keep up, quit posting. This has nothing to do with their "humanity". You know it and I know it. It has nothing to do with the "oppressed". It has to do with it being something PRESIDENT Trump said. I know you cringe when you hear it, no doubt you're a Clinton supporter.

Hatred? I wondered how long it would take you to break that out.It is the liberal way. If you disagree with me you are a racist am I right. haha Try forming a coherant thought before going for the typical liberal response. People like you are the whole reason Trump won the election and why he may win again.
