Why are Trumpettes so butt hurt about taking a knee during a game?

Why are Trumpettes so butt hurt about taking a knee during a game?

I think we need to make a distinction of disrespecting the government (Trump) and disrespecting the nation. These are two separate things.

You are legally able to hate your government, but don't mistake the government for the nation itself.

The US is better in principle than Trump and his moronic agenda

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.

He is a snowflake

You're only allowed freedom of speech if you support Trump.

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

I dont see why people cant disrespect the nation if they want to, that is also their right.

>guise these players peacefully protesting for maybe 5mins is ruining me watch guise toss hand egg around are grab each other's butts for 3hrs

And private email servers

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.

Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!

They've got every right to do it, but it's one of the most rude things I've ever seen so shame on them.

>but it's one of the most rude things I've ever seen
Nigger you have a president who outright admits sexual assault.

>solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation
I don't think he's doing it for politics.

Regan actually extremely anti-gun

>most rude things I've ever seen
Quietly peacefully taking a knee for maybe 5mins during your 3 hr hand egg match

I just find it hilarious how seriously you Americans get about a song and a flag.

You should see how cuckservatives get if you tell them the founding fathers were mostly deists and not traditional Christians.

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"

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.

What nation doesn't play their anthem during national sporting events?

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

- canadafag

go ahead and try to take him to court over that. nice try tho shill.

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

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....

I really don't get why Amerians have such a big problem with free speach

if we dont fall for it Trump cant get away with actually fixing legislation without anyone noticing and stopping him

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.

Better than lying about it, eh Billy?

>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

your workplace and theirs are obviously different and governed by private rules of their organization, so whatever

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.

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

You know Kap started this while Obama was still pres. right?

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.

They know why, their parents had to give them a talk about how not to get shot for being black before kindergarden.

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.

They would be better off in Africa. They wuz kangs

>doing something smart

that is not modern social phenomena

Uh huh. In the same talk where they said that they can hold this brick cause they won't do time if caught?

Can't forget all those great inventions that came outta Africa.

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.

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.

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.

What's next, we sing North Korea's anthem and fuck each other in the asshole

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.

>america
>free

Daily reminder America is a third world country

You should visit an actual 3rd world nation

No it's not you dumbass

Only for black people

>but they are/were the president, the leader of the free world

Like it or not Merkel has way more power than the president of America.
I don't like it but it's the truth.

Someone should burn the flag, the Trumptards heads might explode!

>school shootings
>police shooting
>average persons rights are voilated daily
>education is below that of other third world countries
>propoganda literally everywhere
>capitalism runs the country
>>money is more valuable than society
Oh yeah, and
>entire country wants their own leader to fail
>those who dont are shunned physically and socially

Call it what you want, but user is right in saying America is a total shithole

dubs

dubs

I dgaf about football bc I'm not that white trash yet.

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".

CIA, time to go all 1960s and do your job, bc this president is not doing his.

dubs

That is the flag of the United States of America. We didn't invade Iraq so you could disrespect it like that. This is a nation of rules and order.

>you're a fucking idiot that clearly doesn't understand what's going on

they arent ... its a fing show ... to distract from the economy

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?

you're obviously racist so I guess the point is proven by your own stupid ass lulz

Close but 35% of the country is too stupid to realize Trump wants to fuck them over

When i was a kid all i wanted to do was move to america and work their, and use my impressive english/australian accent for ezpz woman pleasy

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

no its not ... its a nation of thugs and btards

You from Reddit or Tumblr?
Stupid that deep... it is the liberals who want to censor your speech, thoughts, DNA lol

>Same with Hollywood, clue to Clooney, shut up and stick to acting, you are dumb as a fence post on most issues anyway.
Someone forgot to tell Trump that, now we're all fucked by this reality TV SOB

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

Also Ronald Reagan.

>that is also their right.

BS - They are paid entertainers, doing anything off script is a contract violation.
Bosses are being pussies and think we the public will accept this garbage.

Happy to boycott.

>It's a shit show
Truer words never spoken

>visibility within society to protest

You hire a gardener and he/she starts

PUTTING SIGNS UP ON YOUR LAWN

sure that's cool if you are a cuck.

Right cuck?

Your right let's celebrate with some porn

Mmmm fuck trump oooh yah

>Why are Trumpettes so butt hurt about taking a knee during a game?

How about if your snowflake cunt gets sent to Africa with all the niggers? Buh-bye! GET OUT!

You own your lawn. You dont own the players

I love being a fucking Jew piece of shit.

Unhhh I love the left Hillary let me eat your ass.

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.

>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!

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.

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

How nice of you to compare USA to such great paragons of the free world, as Cuba, NK and Syria.

>guise toss hand egg around are grab each other's butts for 3hrs

Exactly, Pro-Sports is obsolete, I support the Boycott!

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

>You dont own the players

>what is a contract

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

>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?

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.

>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...

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.

>Shows respect for your country is a partisan issue.
Only a progressive liberal democrat would think this way

In this case it is. It's all "culture war".

>forgot to tell Trump

uh, hello, this is reality calling....
Knock, knock....have you been sleeping?

He is President now.

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?

What's important is what the flag stands for. Which is the freedom to disrespect the flag.
