Trump vs Sports

Those kneeling absolutely respect our troops and are thankful for their sacrifices. Originally Posted by grean

Damn if there ain't an ignorant bunch of fucks on the far-left.

One jackass even made claim that Malcolm X, rather than any soldier, was a real hero who "died for their cause". Forget the mutha fucking fact that Malcolm X was assassinated by Farrakhan's Nation of Islam followers: other black men!

And the bout of protests this past weekend was mostly anti-Trump and nothing fucking else, green weenie. What a pathetic bunch of lemmings.

Been there. (((hugs))) Originally Posted by Vivienne Rey

No relationships have been severed. We are 1000% more respectful than this board in our debates if the topic does come up. And are graceful in our criticism.

I'm not sure what social media posts you mean. Could you link an example, please?

CK met with a fellow NFL player who was a Army vet. The Army vet vouched for CK's support of our troops. The vet, while angered initially by the protest, came away completely supporting CK. He would not kneel himself but understood CKs position.

I'm waiting for the fans to start their "protest," but not holding my breath for it. If the players don't like being called "sons of bitches," then they should quit "bitching" and .... PLAY BALL! Reminds me of the panty-waisters on here whining about Trump. Cry babies ... or is head injuries?

My point was to show that while, IB claims my assertion that the players supported our troops is false, my assertion isn't baseless.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way." - Colin Kaepernick

This neither states nor implies that no one died for them. It states and implies, in very simple terms, that he is (and the many who have joined him are) protesting racism. So, insisting that said protest is a betrayal to dead soldiers implies they actually died to keep racism going. And that is a slap in the face to every person who has ever served, dead or living.

Actually, my general observation is both "sides" have over exaggerated the opposite sides "status" and "position" with respect to attempting to paint the opposing participants with an ALL ENCOMPASSING BRUSH while at the same time apparently "ASSUMING" they can read the opposition participants' minds as a collective body with the consequence of spending a lot of time on NOTHING!

The 1/2 dozen players refusing to respect the U.S. Flag and NATIONAL ANTHEM were wrong to express their protest in that manner and Trump was wrong for using the word "son of a bitch" to refer to them in a public speech.

Both have "the right" to do and say what they did, but that doesn't make it CORRECT. This country has more important things to focus upon that will have a more lasting effect on our future.

The like some of the petty bullshit and name-calling on in here, this country will be consumed with crybabies whining because their candidate didn't win and will expend their energy and resources in trying to fuck up Trump's presidency like the little shit in the aisle at the grocery store who is screaming and kicking on the floor because he doesn't get "his candy"!

Then there are ignorant juveniles like AssUp who have no life and so they have "no dog in the hunt," but just want to annoy those who do.

What a goal he has in life(sarcasm)?

There are sharks in the waters off Galveston Beach and North and South of there biting people, but he'd rather rant and rage about pics and the proper name of the Galveston Tourist Bureau ... He's a petty old worthless piece of shit, and now he's whining about the forum being a "ghost town" ... .he's turned into a pigsty.

That's insulting and a lie. And it's insulting because it is a lie.

Exactly, but this whole thing was kicked off by Colon Kapershit and his grand standing bullshit about Police and brutality of black suspects. If Blacks didn't have such a persecution complex this country wouldn't be plagued with all these racial issues.

Trump has changed the conversation. People are protesting police brutality. Those kneeling absolutely respect our troops and are thankful for their sacrifices. They are using the right afforded to them by the sacrifices of armed service men and women to bring attention to an injustice. Originally Posted by grean

But how is taking a knee at a sports event, and dishonoring the flag, when you are escorted in and given protection BY COPS, protesting "police brutality"?

THAT IS WHTA i don't understand about this whole malarkey.

And what you posted is also a lie.

"a country that oppresses black people and people of color" ...

The United States of America does NOT ...

...."oppress black people and people of color"!

And those standing their like a gaggle of overpaid juveniles prove it's a lie.....just as false a narrative as when some of those same overpaid juveniles held their hands in air pretending like they were going to be shot by police.

No flags or anthems were hurt by protests of racism. Only people pretending to care about them.

Trump was wrong for using the word "son of a bitch" to refer to them in a public speech.

To put it mildly.

This country has more important things to focus upon that will have a more lasting effect on our future.

Subjective. But some of us can actually multi-task.

And what you posted is also a lie.
