Half Empty? NFL

[bottomups]

IF ONLY the PA announcer would say "Let us pray" before the national anthem, the problem would be solved.

No room to lay out my prayer mat.

Dak and Zeke should kneel, get cut and head to the Jets, the owner of the Jets said he supports the players and won’t punish those that kneel. I don’t think Jerry really has the stones to stand by his conviction.

Woody Johnson might want to worry more about putting a team out there that doesn't suck. So far, his record is perfect, 0-total suckiness.

The NFL players should quit. Teach everyone a lesson, walk away.

Same with all these cry baby ups drivers!

Reading the freedom of speech and individual rights arguments, etc...need to remember that freedom doesn't protect someone from the consequences of saying and doing stupid .

Take a knee .. how many are offended?.. How about remain standing, but turn your back to the flag? Offended? .. How about flipping the flag off with both hands and jumpin' up and down? .. Offended?.. I know, when the Star Bangled Banner starts up, instead of turnin' your proud eyes to the Stars and Stripes, turn around and pull your pants down to the top of those shiny turf shoes and shoot Old Glory the moon.... Offended?
Where is the line of "take a knee" crossed? Must be different for everybody.

Nobody gives two s what or who you are protesting in that setting.
Stand, its your job. Play the game. Its all part of it. Protest on Monday, somewhere else.
If the worst thing I had to do at my job was stand and pretend to respect something for 3 minutes once a week.. I think I could.
Get over yourself and play football.

People need to remember.
If these actions were so offensive they would already be fired. Obviously people support them. Try not to be such a bunch of little butt hurt pusillanimous lol.

Get over yourself. People want to kneel, deal with it. Enjoy the football or don't watch it.






PS, college football is better.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

That's all very well but it doesn't have anything to do with the point I'm making.

Maybe not.

That's sort of his modus operandi.

 

[bbsam]

That's sort of his modus operandi.

I do kind of have to explain things to simpletons.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

If the worst thing I had to do at my job was stand and pretend to respect something for 3 minutes 5 days a week. I think I could.

You sound like a good candidate for a driver supervisor.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

I do keep nd of have to explain things to simpletons.

Well said!

New trend? People get fired for offending someone?

Deal with the kneel. Could a player do anything as a sign of protest ( see examples ) that would offend you?

We agree. College is better.... Always liked DA Bears though.

Sure. How bout you!
Kneeling isn't offensive though.
Unless you're a snowflake crybaby

Probably not. I don’t tune in til kickoff.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Probably not. I don’t tune in til kickoff.

I watch the anthem just to watch the those who are offended by the kneeling.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Probably not. I don’t tune in til kickoff.

I don’t tune in until the game is over.
Dumb sport to play.
OK to watch if you are into gladiators.

That's unpatriotic.

Sure? So there is a line that could be crossed that would offend you?
Would any that I mentioned above offend you?

Wouldn't offend me.

 

[BrownFlush]

Wouldn't offend me.

No kiddin'?
While the National Anthem is being played, you wouldn't take offense to a player bending over and pointin' their ass at Old Glory?

That would probably violate a local law about lewd behavior or some such thing.

You miss the point.
Who gets to define where the line of offense is?
Because a knee isn't to you, doesn't mean your line is the national standard.
