Ironic "disrespecting the flag" folks.

I've had enough, this is just another thread to hate on any on the right, and to defend someone else for obvious reasons, even though he is the worst violator of any respect the flag rules or laws.

Basically, asking us to provide a response that would get us points.

I haven't personally knelt for the anthem, and I've been present for it hundreds of times since he did, but the first amendment guarantees his right to disrespect the anthem, just like it guarantees the rights of Cult 45 to actually disrespect the flag in so many ways. The founding fathers obviously thought that was very important seeing as they made it the first amendment.

What you decide to post is entirely up to you. This thread is posted to discuss the hypocritical fake patriotism of the RWN, but I have also acknowledged several instances of disrespecting the flag by people who were most likely to the left of the RWN. People are free to share more instances if they want to, and even better if they're ironic instances, or they can brush up on the flag code if they want to be more patriotic.

A cursory glance of the front page of the sandbox will show you a bunch of threads saying "libtard this, bitch pelosi that, senile biden shitting his pants" which are much more hateful than anything that I've said in this thread, so if you're done with it, you don't have to read or post in this one.

Crapernicks kneeling stunt was nothing but a money grab. He or more likely his radical muslim wife, saw a way to long lasting fame and fortune and even love from some without having the embarrassment or work or risk of personal injury of being a mediocre backup QB and he grabbed it.

And before anyone gets on the he was a starting caliber QB, no he wasn’t anymore. He had already all but lost that for good before he strung on his pig socks for the camera. Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl, ijs.

Well, you're going off topic, but your post contains some things that simply aren't true, and I prefer the truth to be told, so I will address those things.

Kaep's partner, Nessa Diab is a TV and Radio personality having worked for MTV and VH1 a bunch of times, dealing with the most apolitical of celebrities such as snookie, jwow, and Lindsay Lohan, and she currently hosts the number one Hip Hop radio show in the country for Hot 97 in NYC and online. Hardly what one could reasonably classify as a radical Muslim. Do you have any facts which support your contention about that?

In his last year as a starting QB, Kaep had a QBR of 49.2, which ranked him 23 out of 32 starting QB, and a passer rating of 90.7 which ranked him 17th amongst starters. Many point to the departure of coach Harbaugh as a contributing factor in Kaep's slight decline, but even without taking that into consideration, it's still fair to say that he was at least an average NFL starting QB, and if he ended up as a backup, would have been one of the top backups.

He'd already made around 25 million at that point, his partner was also making good money, and top backups make between 4-6 million while typically not abusing their bodies often, so it's reasonable to say that he could have made at least ~5 million a year for a bunch more years in the NFL, and then likely would have had opportunities to do commentary. Yes, he received a nice settlement from the NFL for being blackballed, but that was not even close to being guaranteed at the time of his protests, and he could have made more just remaining as a backup, not even counting potential commentary money. How would it even be possible to plan all that out? "I'm gonna kneel during the anthem. Then eventually the NFL owners will blackball me, and many years down the line, the NFL will have to pay me a big settlement." Kasparov doesn't even play chess that well. It's extremely unlikely. The facts don't support that narrative.


If you'd like to start a new thread or threads about your inaccurate claims we can discuss them further there.

All comments have been on topic and there is no reason to start another thread on this subject

Bottom line is the people wearing it or modifying it to fit their agenda, belief or political stance (Punisher logo with the flag in it, anyone? Ironic considering the Punisher hates and kills cops who are corrupt by any means) are the same ones who cry about it being burned.

Pointing this out is about pointing out their hypocrisy. Totally legal to deface a flag under the first amendment (Freedom of speech), yet in the Right wing nationalist party (Remember, nazis were nationalists) it's not OK to burn one but you can drape it on yourself and roll around in your bud light swill like it's a beach towel and that's OK because YOU'RE patriotic.

Stupid.

I dunno about you but I sleep in U.S. flag bed sheets and have had sex in my U.S. flag lounge chair.

When I wear my flag socks and nail a chick on a picnic table covered in flag plates, napkins and cups I definitely pour out a bit of my limited edition flag can of beer in memory of how much I love my country and my freedom.

You being a confederate flag to my 4th of July party and we're gonna have words in the form of left jabs and right hooks.
