Vice President Mike Pence leaves Colts-49ers game after players kneel during ant

[mazrim]

I disagree with you on this Ron.  As a person who served in the military, I would never, ever, ever, kneel or disrespect the flag in any way whatsoever.  However, person are forgetting why NFL players ARE kneeling to begin with....to protest discrimination and police brutality...that their 1st Amendment right.


As far as Mike Pence is concerned, it was clearly a publicity stunt.  He knew good and DAMN WELL that SOME NFL players would be kneeling in protest....and I do say some because the pictures show that most of the 49er's were standing for the anthem.  

The speech about disrespecting the flag takes the cake as Donald Trump has shown complete disrespect for John McCain being captured and tortured....where the fuck was he when that was happening???  

Rather than the president interjecting himself into the NFL and disrespecting any ethnic culture out there that isn't white, perhaps he should do his job...period.  If you don't want to watch football, that's fine with me....BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR RIGHT.

How are you disagreeing, lol? They have the right to not stand, we have the right to not watch. Don't think Ron was saying they should be shot or anything.

Horrible post. What discrimination? They are essentially screaming to the world how dumb they are and people probably find it a bit odd that such obviously low IQ individuals are making such vast amounts of money and have had enough of it.

You are a racist. Trump is not.

[Straw Man]

Glad the little sensitive Snowflake left

Probably ran to his safe space to get away from the scary people exercising their Constitutional rights

[tommywishbone]

Good, but he shouldn't have been there to begin with.

*Don't attend NFL games

*Don't watch NFL games on television

*Don't buy NFL merchandise

Total boycott......fuck 'em.  Force them to get real jobs.

this.

It won't happen but if everyone wanted the NFL gone it could be totally gone in five years. No more. Gone.

[chaos]

didn't all the guys who fought and died out there fight for right for people to be free?

Free from being forced to do things against their will?

North Korea is now being vilified for oppressing its people, differing levels I know, but its oppression all the same.

Not when they are being paid to do a job. Can you go to your job and protest?

[chaos]

Put it this way, If Obama had been there today instead still as president all those  players who were knelling would be standing and going out of their way to kiss his mulatto ass

 Axeually, it’s the consumer showing them the real boss in a free market economy:

Four weeks into the current NFL season television ratings are down nearly 10% overall compared to the first four weeks of last season. Sunday’s games in Week 4, according to Nielsen, had the smallest audience of any season so far: an average 14.2 million viewers.

And stop subsidizing a multi-billion dollar league with tax payer money.

[honest]

Disgraceful so many  have died, for them to live their privileged lives, they should find another way to protest where it doesn't disrespect the fallen by disrespecting their anthem or flag, absolutely disgusting.

[Simple Simon]

Not when they are being paid to do a job. Can you go to your job and protest?

In the UK if my boss told me I had to stand for the national anthem at work he would get sacked...

Thats how fucked up the UK is

[Pray_4_War]

And stop subsidizing a multi-billion dollar league with tax payer money.

Damn right.

[Mr.1derful]

People don't tune in or go to the games for this bullsh*t.  Same reason ESPN is losing subscribers like crazy.   People want to relax and enjoy sports as a form of escapism, without having partisan politics shoved down their throats.

It’s amazing how he continually gets the opposition to expose themselves as lunatics.

I think it is a fair question. Did we put our money where our mouth is and risk life and limb for that flag?

No, many of us did not, but many of us also realize that a lot of our friends and people in the military did risk life and limb for freedom for that flag. The National Anthem, standing for it, honors that.

This an absurd statement. Since when does anyone have to serve to not recognize what was sacrificed? How old are you? Serious question.

[The Ugly]

Cool.

On our dime, flew this phony prick to the game just so he could stand and split. Total publicity stunt. This guy is the most vacant fucking lapdog ever.

Another stupid statement. As if the kneeling weren't a publicity stunt in itself.

The most important thing is the NFL continues to lose sponsors and viewership!

This has allowed many people to realize that there are more worthwhile things to do on a Sunday afternoon than watch football.

So he counters their free one with one that costs us how many thousands?

(So cute when you call something stupid, though. Because, you know.)  

[NelsonMuntz]

I give this stuff another couple of weeks before the NFL has some "secret meeting" with the players and makes them cut the bullshit because they are losing money and ratings

[The Ugly]

I hope the ratings skyrocket. Stadiums still look full, all the ad spots are filled.

Seems the phony anthem patriots can't pull themselves away. Shame.
