Two things: fuck the players for politicizing and thus poisoning the well of a pastime that should give us respite from the otherwise constant political hysteria around us, and fuck mutimillionaires for acting like the U.S. has been hard on them.
Christopher Lopez
He is a snowflake
Liam Hill
You're only allowed freedom of speech if you support Trump.
Joshua Bennett
Why fuck them? It's great, they're using their visibility within society to protest, you can't just sweep politics under the rug...I think it's good
Jackson Thomas
I dont see why people cant disrespect the nation if they want to, that is also their right.

I just don't get it... This is just a bunch of dudes playing ball. Why the national anthem, why the fly by's, why the whole militarization in American sports ? National Anthem during international competitions is ok I guess, but national ? why ?? This is just a game ffs, put nationalism and militarization away and enjoy the fucking game

Reagan turned the flag, the cross and the military into a religion of its own where you worship low taxes (for the rich), freedom (to choose pre-approved options set by corporate masters), guns and god with a big old American Flag in the sky and a swarm of F-[whatevernumberismoreexpensivethisyear]s going by.
It's a cancer, honestly. We're terminal and I hope to live to see the chemo either scrub us clean or kill us off.

You should see how cuckservatives get if you tell them the founding fathers were mostly deists and not traditional Christians.
Bentley Lee
I don't know how about USA,but here in Europe, before the game announcer say: "Please stand up for the national anthem of ... " Not "Bend the knee"
Eli Reyes
that's the real kicker. None of the modern reagan-worshiping republicans are even conservatives. They don't care about gun control beyond what it takes to convince backwoods retards to vote for them; they have enough money to get their hands on whatever toys they want, and they sure as fuck wouldn't ever live in a neighborhood that has enough crime to warrant owning a gun for self-defense.
Robert Perry
What nation doesn't play their anthem during national sporting events?
Henry Harris
Alright amerifags. Answer this fucking question.
When you're home on your couch watching football or baseball or whatever and stuffing your fat diabetic faces with deep-fried cheese and fizzy sugar-water, and talking to eachother about which countries you can't find on a map that deserve to be blown up, do you shut the fuck up, stop eating and stand up with your mouth empty for the duration of the anthem? Or are you as big as hypocrites on this issue as you are with every other?
I see you dumb fucks chewing gum during the anthem all the time on baseball games and see coaches standing up with their arms crossed and pacing and you never say shit about it. You just hate to see niggers give you assholes the middle fucking finger and thats it. Admit it. Got nothing to do with the anthem. Y'all just hate niggers.
Find a cooler way to hate niggers

go ahead and try to take him to court over that. nice try tho shill.
Anthony Perry
i think its dumb, theyre just being salty children "i dont wanna respect the flag cuz my candidate didnt win and it matters to me and my job because i got invited to visit him" meeting any sitting/former president is an honor, no matter who it is. even nixon or obama. disagree with them all you want, but they are/were the president, the leader of the free world, and its a big deal to meet them, even more to be invited to meet them. as much as Sup Forumsacks hate black people, it would be pretty neat to say hi to obama, even if theyd heckle him afterwards
Nathaniel Ramirez
Because they're cattle easily manipulated by a contrived outrage so they don't see the major problems that they SHOULD be concerned with (endless war funded on credit, surveillance, mass inflation, constant warmongering against nations that pose no threat).
But lefties fall for the same shit, some thug pulls a gun on a cop and gets shot and the whole fucking nation gets their panties in a bunch.
Ya'll faggots are the most easily misdirected cattle on the planet.
Since Vietnam this nation made a clean split between two factions. The types that worship authority and pretend that the powers-that-be can do no harm; these types like to mandate that you must worship the flag, anthem, and suck the dick of every cop and soldier you see... and also mandate that you turn a blind eye towards how ruthlessly corrupt those people can be.
Then there's the other camp, the types who want America to be the same exemplary nation that it used to be. The types who CAN criticize government as they should, so perhaps corrections can be made to steer America into a better place.
AS much as the right wingers like to bleet "freedom" like a mantra every time someone uses it to say/do something they don't like, they get butthurt.... but come to think of it, lefties do the same things, but about different issues.
Pretty much all you establishment faggots have lost the concept of what freedom actually means....
William Thomas
I really don't get why Amerians have such a big problem with free speach
Camden Ross
if we dont fall for it Trump cant get away with actually fixing legislation without anyone noticing and stopping him
Asher Scott
They have every right to do it... but if they do it at work there should be consequences for their actions. If I took a knee at work to protest gay marriage while bleeting about it on social media my ass would be fired in no time. Same principle here. Also they were doing this shit long before Trump was President so its obviously not just about him.
Leo Sullivan
Better than lying about it, eh Billy?
Parker Cook
>theyre just being salty children
everyone is acting like a salty child
i'm sure if any of those football players encountered a service member they wouldn't hesitate in being respectful. i think they feel they can be disrespectful to trump because trump acts like a salty kid (re his moronic twitter steram) and is intentionally divisive
Jason Rivera
your workplace and theirs are obviously different and governed by private rules of their organization, so whatever
Jonathan Bailey
It isn't just niggers taking a knee. This bull shit has even filtered down to kid's sporting events. 8 year olds taking a knee when they have not a clue why.
Nicholas Flores
I may hate niggers, but that doesn't change the fact that these fucking niggers are acting like they would be better off in Africa. Do they think they would be getting millions in a strong currency to throw a ball in Sudan? Christ on a bike
Jack Harris
You know Kap started this while Obama was still pres. right?
Jack Powell
How about everyone stop giving Trump the attention he seeks. Maybe he'll get the message that he has very little power to do anything.
Carter Gomez
They know why, their parents had to give them a talk about how not to get shot for being black before kindergarden.
Austin Ross
They do what they see on tv and what their friends and parents do. Eight year olds buy fidget spinners but I don't blame them for the trend. Can't blame eight year old behaviour on niggers.
Our niggers seem content enough in Canadian sports. Probably because we don't use them to traffic drugs for the military and for wall street. But that's the CIA's doing and your problem, not ours.
Kayden Wright
They would be better off in Africa. They wuz kangs

Jaxson White

Noah Foster
You cannot separate the two. They are synonymous .......we elected him to kick ass. This is what kicking ass looks like. We are tired of messages & narratives that disparages America. We are not perfect, but we are good. There are forces who wish to see the demise of national sovereignty and nation states go away all together. All these weak minded fools do is play into globalist narratives by shitting on Trump.
Brody Sanchez
For the past 8 years or so, the govt has paid major sports to do a ton of 'honoring our military' type stuff. It was seen as a useful tool for recruiting for the military. Before 2009, nfl players usually weren't even on the field for the anthem.
>how not to get shot for being black By not being a gud boy who dindu nuffin? Oh wait, no, bcus whitey b raycis.
Brody Ross
Why isn't Trump going after anyone who wears any type of flag related clothing? Or sells paper plates, etc. with flags on them? Under the flag code that is disrespecting the flag. Not standing during the national anthem isn't.
It's because it has nothing to do with the flag. It's because his fragile ego is still hurt by the failure of the USFL all that time ago.
Kayden Brown
What's next, we sing North Korea's anthem and fuck each other in the asshole
Jonathan Phillips
What happened this weekend has nothing to do with oppression, racism, or anything else. It is 100% because Trump went after the players the week before.

But all those tweets... this is what the president is most concerned with. Not... any of the litany of disasterous shit going on in foreign & domestic policy & governance, on the verge of a nuclear war, possibly on two fronts now... this is what the president puts his focus on. footballs "ratings".

Nathaniel Davis
OP why do lib-tards always think they are some kind of super-hero in a movie role?
Pro athletes are just the modern day gladiators of old, they are still slaves to the wealthy. Gilded cages but still...
People came to be entertained, see a game, they did not pay because they wanted to come watch over paid man children acting out.
Same with Hollywood, clue to Clooney, shut up and stick to acting, you are dumb as a fence post on most issues anyway.
Cue next /pol-tard gathering: "The Internet Goes to DC!" So pointless, as on-line you do not actually go anywhere. But expect mass produced stupid signs, and a mob of mindless idiots, the usual liberal fools faces always seen in public places. The misfits, attention seekers, etc.
If Pro Sports really cared where is their national no more gang violence campaign or learn how to act at a traffic stop, etc?
Noah Miller
you're obviously racist so I guess the point is proven by your own stupid ass lulz

Literally since about 2008 onwards it became really, REALLY obvious how awful america treats its own population (and how they treat eachother), and it honestly still surprises me today how most americans are either in denial or flat out dont recognise it

Kevin Howard
What? No it started as a protest over how racist the country was becoming, and devolved into a debate over if you're allowed to protest the flag. Trumps leveraging the debate to rally his base before midterm. This is really about the republican party imploding. Bannon is getting revenge on Trump by backing Moore. It's a shit show
Ethan Garcia
Also Ronald Reagan.
Noah Ramirez

Ayden Hill
Trump couldn't give a flying fuck about the National Anthem, he's desperately trying to draw attention away from the investigations into election fraud.
I repeat, Trump doesn't care about taking a knee. He does care about keeping you distracted from his impending impeachment.
You're welcome please drive through.
Joseph Cook
>I dont see why people cant disrespect the nation if they want to
Not when they are being paid millions to entertain, people did not fork out cash to hear your latest poser pretty thoughts.
Go try that shit in Cuba, North Korea, Syria, etc This country gives great opportunities, and some just want to disrespect that, on our dime not theirs.
What cowards, if they were serious they would refuse to play till their point is made Nope instead those pussies just want to symbolically support, then back to their lambos, caviar, multi-million dollar lives....
All for show... BOYCOTT!
Camden King
No it's not. There is literally nothing in the contract about sitting or standing during the anthem. They have rules against coloring your hair certain colors on certain teams and other dumb shit, but I don't think a single team has a rule about this. Plus if the owners don't care then why should I? It's honestly not any of my business. They aren't destroying property or interrupting the singer. They are literally taking a knee. Same as a Jehovah's witness would do. If that's how they choose to protest we should all be thankful. Plus if we don't make a big deal about it then the protest loses it's punch. Imagine of the collective reaction was just to go "aww, isn't that special". The protesters would get mad at the fact that we were ignoring it. Meanwhile it wouldn't hurt the teams performance because anger works for the sport.
Noah Thompson
You hire a gardener and they show up in a pickup with confederate flag and MAGA stickers all over it,and at the beginning of the job the boss leads his crew in a minute of prayer.
Try to keep your equivalences honest maybe

Oh so now you are against Trump's right to express himself? Is math hard? Does logic and facts confound you? Congratulations, you are a liberal! KYS
Jonathan Ross
>You dont own the players

John Myers
More like they took a knee while their boss blasted the national anthem before work. Or they show up in anti Trump shirts and do their job. Oh noes, they has opinions I don't agree with. Better fire them... It's a sport. We pay to watch them give each other lasting brain damage. What they do before that doesn't have to also be boring. The political fight actually gives it a wrestling vibe. You can root against the ones who kneeled. I honestly don't give a shit
Julian Cox
>Quietly peacefully taking a knee for maybe 5mins during your 3 hr hand egg match
Did the people paying them OK this? Did the promoters tout this? Did the public pay to come see this?
Your consent to allow others to impose non-consensual acts on others is noted. Rape much?
Dominic Bailey
They kneeled didn't they? They have the right to kneel and Americans have the right to not spend anymore money on the nfl. Congratulations on being a low IQ retard tho.
Joseph Johnson
>Y'all just hate niggers.
Projecting much? As a POC I am disgusted by these prima donnas. Fuck off back to your curling, and baby seal clubbing.
Yeah, that red maple leaf doesn't hide much. Fuck off with your gay PM too...
Henry Ross
You have the right not to. Yes. Question is why is Trump trying to influence that debate? We have two more wars potentially on the horizon, we have natural disasters going on and recovery efforts. No one dies if a player takes a knee. It's a big fucking nothing.
I'm going to watch more football and buy more football related shit just to spite you.
Oliver Anderson

Samuel Jenkins
Boomers, the most degenerate generation in the history of America, had their opiate supply cut off today.
Nietzsche said that religion is the opiate of the masses, but it is clearly football.
Today the somewhat a-political right-leaning boomer was struck with a wake-up call. They were shocked to learn that a bunch of subhuman jungle goons don't love them, don't love their country, and don't appreciate the fact they have made millions of dollars off of their viewership.
This shocks the boomer and wakes them up from their opiate induced haze. They had to put down their Budweiser beer for a moment to make sure what they were seeing was real.
>b-but...this is America? I thought we all loved the flag? >y-you mean...Kenny Niggums, my favorite quarterback, doesn't love the flag? >b-b-b-but...my dad fought in WW2 :(
This has created extreme dissonance for the child-like brain of the average baby boomer. Soon they will completely awaken and wonder what other things Donald Trump is correct in saying. Maybe they will recognize that they let leftists take complete control of everything in the last 40 years.
Maybe sitcoms will be next?
Caleb Brooks
youtu.be/ukURt2TsEwY What's important is what the flag stands for. Which is the freedom to disrespect the flag.
