As explained above.
I still don't get it . . . but that's okay . . . doesn't make any sense.
Oh well.
As explained above.
You aren’t expected to stand in your homeNot half as dumb as your response.
Even a foreigner watching the game from the stands would feel compelled to stand.
Choosing to kneel while everyone in the stadium is standing is comparable to choosing to stand while everyone in the living room is sitting. You lack perspective.
Your attempt at sarcasm's not working. While I know what he's protesting, I don't quite care for his stunt nor do I think it helps much with whatever issues he's protesting.
What I'm highlighting is the hypocrisy of fake patriots criticizing Kaepernick as being unpatriotic for not standing while they lounge on couches at home during the anthem.
an awful lot of disgruntled right wingers apparently...Who cares
I mean I’m a vetan awful lot of disgruntled right wingers apparently...
Yet you must respond to me out of anger because you literally have nothing substantial or intelligent to say. Lol there is zero hypocrisy in my post... might want to look up the definition smart guy.Thanks for the compliment, I think I'm a little smarter than the average bear but not by much. I knew what you meant, but like I said, your posts are pretty terrible and not really worth taking seriously. Just pointing out a little hypocrisy.
If you mean in the sense that, people know that Kaep started kneeling because he was "upset that things happened to black people" yes. That's about where it ends though.
It's less a question of whether the employer can terminate your employment for not standing for the national anthem (they can) and more a question of whether they should. (1) The football players are that are kneeling are a lot of the best football players in the country. That is who people want to see play. It was easier for the NFL to tamper down on Kaepernick alone, but attempting to deal with all the kneelers at once would be hard.
(2) Despite the fact that terminating the employees for not standing is legal, there are certain legal considerations in the contract and code of conduct which would be need to be airtight or the NFL could get in trouble. Bear in mind that the NFL players and agents who would be affected by these termination have access to great lawyers, and the NFL certainly doesn't want a protracted legal battle that they may not win.
I mean I’m a vet
Stand sit kneel who fucking cares
But that’s my opinion
Other people can have a different one
I wonder how many people complaining about Kaepernick kneeling were lounging on their sofas behind their teles munching on chips while the anthem was playing.
Wow you're very smart if that is all you took from that.
muh skin color. i din du nuffin
I don't worry about insignificant stuff like being called a racist over petty nonsense. It's up there with "thoughts and prayers".You've really fallen off if you're just making racist comments instead of your usual somewhat witty shitposting.
I'm curious about your "incorrect viewpoints" statement.
So you're right and everyone else is wrong?
Just for example, he could probably get even more attention if he organized picket lines at elementary schools - but it would be unequivocally bad press that would hurt his cause. I agree with others that, intent aside, he choose a self-defeating time and place to make his statement.
My viewpoint is irrelevant to the views of others.
Many people falsely claim that he's protesting the military and the flag. That's incorrect. It's very simple.
So you're proving my point. The issue isn't with a player making a personal statement while being paid to play football. It's about what some view as the "disrespecting" of the anthem and the country.
I just want people to be honest about it. To stop the bullshitting and the pretending that they respect the rights of others' free speech.
I had no clue Kap was a WakandanWhy he kneels .
To keep getting that pussy.
It's called wipped.
