Ok, Newsflash, of course there are issues, nobody is denying that. So lets kneel and blame the flag, is that you approach? Who is kneeling for those 500+ murders in black on black crime in Chicago this year alone? Just one example of many, but maybe we should be asking why it is not being reported by MSM? Instead we hear countless hours of reporting about "social justice hero" Kaepernick, who is not even registered to vote, what a moron, and those who follow him like a blind sheep. SMH.

In fact, a good rule of thumb; the more an issue may piss you off or pull at the core of your principles, the more you should probably study up on it THEN go out and develop an opinion. For the rest of what you said, you are simply arguing that you are against the stance they took and the way they did it. Thats a moot point as far as my comment and the post concerns. These guys are NOT hypocrites for speaking out on an issue just because they are millionaires.

Did the kneeling actually helped to those in plight as you suggested? Players have the right to kneel or sit, sure, but it doesn't help anyone. When they put that uniform/jersey on they are at work and suppose to follow the NFL rulebook in which it states: "When the National Anthem is being played before the game, players should stand and be facing the Flag". End of story. What would happen if any "regular" employee of a company decides to "protest" and kneel at the start of his/her shift? Suspension or possible termination. So why those NFL millionaires get to have "special treatment"? If they want to protest social whatever, go kneel on your day off at the Capitol. Thats of course if they are really serious about the issue, but something tells me most of them are hypocrites and attention whores.Obama Crooked Bastardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-69465183369155247332017-12-14T13:41:22.204-05:002017-12-14T13:41:22.204-05:00US Army here so I can offer a unique perspective. ...US Army here so I can offer a unique perspective. Don't really give a rats ass what they protest, I serve so they can have that right. The world is full of people I don't agree with and those that I do. I do want to mention that most NFL players have charities set up and do alot with their communities.

All they are doing is showing fans what hypocrisy looks like."<br /><br />Had to stop reading after this. Regardless of whether you agree with them, what is so hard to understand that being a millionaire does not make one blind to the plight of everyone else? The fact is its a good and honorable thing that they are being socially conscious [again regardless of whether you agree with their stance]. Whats funny is that according to your own logic, Donald Trump can never understand, let alone be an advocate for, the millions of low and middle-income folks that voted for him and the issues they care about. I know, I know, logic is not your strong point. We've come to understand that part a long time ago. <br /><br />Lastly, you do realize many of these players come from cities where they grew up in the same conditions that lead to violence (both citizen on citizen and police violence). Do you not think it would make sense for them to care about an issue that touches this close to home?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-70562627721831360842017-12-14T13:28:52.499-05:002017-12-14T13:28:52.499-05:00agree 1000%agree 1000%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
