I don't have to. You just did! Thank you!First, your statement was 2/3s of the people were "offended" by the player's actions. The poll I cited showed 55%, which is far different. Again, would you care to share YOUR poll in which 2/3s of the people in this country are offended?
BTW: Who gives a shit who they "supported" in the election?
Besides you?
Perhaps most of the people who voted for Trump don't believe that the United States of America "oppresses Blacks and people of color," which means they are smarter than those who didn't vote for Trump! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Let's take a look at Rwanda for stats, ok?
In the meantime have your sports "heroes" disrespect the Flag of Connecticut ... since you want to use them as an example. Originally Posted by LexusLover

He was recently awarded the community MVP award by the NFLPA. Didn't know that did you?
This isn't about the "poor downtrodden" people who are "Black" or "of color"! Because his kneeling during the National Anthem is not doing shit for even one of them! It just makes him what he is ... an unpatriotic ass. Those who support him are .... supporting an "unpatriotic ass"!
I just saw/heard that the new (rookie) quaterback (he's Black!) for the Texans split his first game check IN THE NFL with three Hispanic ladies (people of color) who lost everything in Harvey.
That's doing something productive and worthwhile for "people of color," but kneeling accomplishes nothing, but create a bunch of noise!
Kind of like the hooker's keyboard. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Rule 5, Article 8: Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office. Items to celebrate anniversaries or memorable events, or to honor or commemorate individuals, such as helmet decals, and arm bands and jersey patches on players’ uniforms, are prohibited unless approved in advance by the League office. All such items approved by the League office, if any, must relate to team or League events or personages. The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns. Further, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial, and noncontroversial; must not be worn for more than one football season; and if approved for use by a specific team, must not be worn by players on other teams in the League.
And, losing ground rapidly.Trump made this bigger than wtf it was because he is trying to divert from Russia.

Hell no. There will be a small handful of ticket holders who will protest the protesters in some form or fashion but the stands will be full, depending on the venue (not all NFL games are sell-outs). In looking at pictures of last night's Chicago-Green Bay game, it didn't look like there were many empty seats.
Speaking of "Longhorns" ... how many players on UT-Austin got on a knee during the "Eyes of Texas"? Or did they just do it when the U.S. Flag was presented. Originally Posted by LexusLover
What's lost in all this bullshit is that whites are killed by LE more than blacks or minorities. You can argue that there are more whites in this country. That's true. But it's also true that blacks commit far more violent crimes than whites. Originally Posted by bambinoAgain, black do not commit more violent crime than whites. See link.
Soccer won't be too far behind.Hockey has CTE issues as well....

I repeat -- there is nothing that prohibits an NFL player from taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem.Didn't cite any page A62 or A63, speedy. Cited NFL Rule 5, Article 8, on page 23 of the NFL rule book that prohibits political messaging, you stupid jackass.
http://www.snopes.com/must-nfl-players-stand/
"There is no mention of the national anthem in the NFL rulebook. There are no pages A62 or A63, either."
"McCarthy stressed that passage about the national anthem is a guideline and not a requirement. The key words in the operations manual are “should” and “may” and not “must.” No player is required to stand at attention."

Again, black do not commit more violent crime than whites. See link.You equivocate, green weenie. The FBI table you cite absolutely shows that 12.6% of the population is, in fact, committing 28.1% of the crime, you lying SOB. That means they are highly over represented in the criminality bracket, green weenie.
The numbers are slightly higher for murder. Rape, aggravated assault, offenses against family and children, violent crime.....ALL higher in whites than blacks.
