I'm a white cop from middle America. These people hate me, I will not be giving them any views, time, or money.

The NFL has no problems with allowing rapists, domestic abusers, drug pushers, etc.. to play among them. They have ZERO morals. They're kneeling as they're racists that know nothing more than what the media tells them

Without football, they'd be average joes. These people are nothing special in the grand scheme of things. They're paid entertainers, not political pundits.

Plus, with rule changes and Roger Goodell, the NFL blow a dicks. It is not the best sport to watch. The only thing worse is the NBA.

OP sucks, his post sucks, the NFL sucks, and their opinions can all fuck off

Preach it brother!

Pres needs to focus on what he campaigned on, which wasn't micro-managing everyday lives and chiming in on everything like a flaming Blue Falcon. By giving a fuck and getting all pissed about kneeling - IT FUCKING WORKED!!

And as added bonus - Pres got to skate by another couple weeks on twits, without actually getting a single fucking thing done. Sounds more like white obama.

I like football and all I can say is that this bullshit is giving me a bad taste in my mouth.

Where does this bullshit end?

What is it they want to accomplish.............just keep kneeling and dissing the National Anthem until when???

"my MAGA friends"

In other words, you aren't...so guess what 16'er.  Get out of the way of the train.  You claim to be a former Marine, yet can't recognize when we are in the midst of a "cold" Civil War.  We are fighting for the soul of this country and the people kneeling want to destroy the America you claim to have defended as a Marine.  

If they get their way, they won't give a fuck that people like you were John McCain style quislings.  You are as much their enemy as everyone on this website and Trump.

Quoted:
I have never seen a bigger bunch of grown men aka "real men that actually like full contact sports" act like a bunch of sniveling snowflakes.

"We don't want politics in our sports."

GTFO, politics is in everything!

If Trump announced a rally/speech during the Super Bowl halftime stage, the same "get politics out of sports" types here would be screaming MAGA

Even my biggest MAGA friends are bewildered why so many on social media (and here) are clutching their pearls/passing out on their fainting couches simply because of some easily ignorable nonsense.

"Oh my, we must boycott the NFL, this is just tooo much...giving me the vapors!"

And please, stop with the sanctimonious "I was OUTRAGED, I was in the stands and THREE people near me were sitting down during the anthem!  I'm a vet and that angers me!"

Excuse me? Have any of you actually hung out on a typical Marine Corps base when it's time for Colors? (and yes, I was an 03)

Half the unit is staying inside the entrances of buildings because they DON'T want to be caught outside/having to stand through it. Then you have the other groups outside that start to hear the beginning of colors and make a dead sprint to any nearby doorway so NOT to be caught outside. This isn't the shitbirds, this is EVERYONE.

This happened daily on many Marine infantry battalion bases I was stationed on or visited. I saw on Camp Horno, Mateo, Margarita/1st Recon, 29 Palms, Oki, etc..  And yes, this was 2005-2010, not some garrison peacetime. The only time you rarely saw it was on mainside or near 52/infantry school simply because you used to have terrorizing figures like SGT MAJ Vines patrolling.

I don't want to hear any recent vets become all sanctimonious because we all did our best to avoid it too. This is just the daily....not even the dreaded Friday medley.  

I still can't figure why there is so many threads about it. Why are you all so damn upset? If it bothers you so much, simply start watching the game at the kickoff? Do you avoid movies because the upcoming previews piss you off?

Who gives a shit what goes on before??? By being a bunch of "OMG, time to boycott" you sound like a bunch of triggered old ladies clutching their knitting balls. Fuck the non-football bullshit, I came to watch modern day gladiatiors trying to kill each other. If a bunch of players kneeling hurts your sensitive feelings, go watch figure skating or something. I seriously cannot believe this place and the level of butthurt.  

One last thing. Like I said earlier, my MAGA friends can't wrap their heads around why so many conservatives are literally pissing themselves over this situation (as you can see here with the 30 various threads that give up to the minute drama queen updates: "OMG Buffy, did you see that? The dolphins are now kneeling too. Better tell everyone ASAP!!" It's like you're all going out of your way to be offended just like your typical SJW pansy liberal.

My diehard MAGA friends can only assume that the usual culprits are fanning the flames: Hannity and Limbaugh. None of us watch Hannity or listen to Rush but by the amount of just pure rage/emotions over something so trivial, I can only assume Hannity/Rush are making this a BIG deal and really laying down the rhetoric (and I'm assuming they're doing the "Boycott NFL because of the thugs" since that seems to be the usual parroting/talking point here).

Everyone take a deep breath and chill out. Football is still awesome and this is the best sport in the US, hands down. We know this "protest" is just current flavor of the month and will be as relevant as Livestrong bracelets in the coming months. Meanwhile when you all realize you made a mountain out of a mole hill, you'll sit back and realize how much NFL you missed and really regret it.

This forum was the absolute last place I figured on seeing such pearl clutching over something so nonsensical. These "protestors" are like children acting up, the more you give them attention, the more they're going to push. If Trump could keep his mouth fucking shut we wouldn't have all the extra "now we need to double down!" needless drama this weekend. All he did was flame the flames and gives these kneeling fucks even MORE ammo,

In case we haven't forgot....

WOW, great idea huh? Let's stop focusing on nonsense, huh, Trump????

Because the fake ass narrative that police are killing black ppl at some astronomical rate and there is systemic racism in this country is complete bullshit and will continue to destroy the black community and diminish the standard of living in this country and normalizing this complete fairy tale in front of millions of ppl is complete horseshit and should be slapped down with authority.  Why do you think the left keeps repeating this fairy tale over and over again in every venue they control? You think they do that because it doesnt mean shit and achieves no results?

Sorry you are so clueless OP.


I dont even fucking watch your traditional professional sports, since they are boring as fuck, But I'll rail against this shit all day long.

Quoted:
OP's right. I remember guys like him that would avoid getting caught in colors. They were called shitbirds. Then they got out after barely getting an honorable discharge, took the G.I. Bill given to them, went to college and now act like they are fucking enlightened. Same shitbirds bitched about every hump, every field day, every duty and watch. I remember joining the fleet and having assholes that deliberately wouldn't allow you to walk in step with them to look like fucking shitbirds. They thought this was funny, to look like an asshole so if a civilian saw them they would be like "What the fuck? These are our military?" I know OP's kind way too well.

The owners will probably just decide to not play the Anthem any longer is my long term guess.

Quoted:


If you are employed by someone other than yourself, do you think your employer should fire you for your political views? Maybe because your truck has an NRA or Glock Perfection sticker on the bumper?  Maybe because you spoke about how disrespectful it was for players to kneel when on your coffee break in the lounge or at the water cooler?

That's my issue with what Trump did. He actually made it NOT about disrespecting the flag. There's a reason so few players actually kneeled or ignored the anthem prior to this weekend. There's a reason CK didn't have a job.  We were winning.

Then Trump had to go step on his dick and make it about firing people over their political views. So what happens? Even those who didn't disrespect the flag or anthem before now join in because Trump gave them the martyrdom capital to do so. That was what this weekend's protest was about.

And now, we can't bitch when liberals boycott or punish conservatives in the marketplace because we (the Right via Trump) just said it was OK to do that. So now when liberals boycott conservatives, we either STFU or we're hypocrites.

Good job! Brilliant strategy. 3-D chess indeed.

You either support free speech or you don't...or you're a hypocrite by just supporting the speech you like.

If we continue down this road, there are dire times ahead for us. Is it now OK for me to deny service or patronage to any of the millions of Americans that voted for Hillary?  Think about what that means if half of the country refuses commerce with the other half.

Some of you will see that as a good thing. Yahoo! The CSA is back. Until California won't ship food to Indiana in the winter. Until the ports north of Florida and all along the Pacific Coast are closed the the Midwest and South.

It's a freakin' nightmare.

We used to have the moral high ground and could argue to the middle that SJW's are loons and intolerant. Nope. Not now. Both ends of the political spectrum now agree that it's OK to financially punish those with whom you disagree. We just adopted the same philosophy, just on the flip side of the same coin. So now it's just a numbers game. And more poeple voted for Hitlery than Trump. Economics doesn't flow according to electoral votes.
