Will this fool anyone?

Going to the Badger game tomorrow. Will kneel during the anthem but hardly anyone will notice. If recent history holds true, we won't get to our seats until the 2nd quarter.

It was quite a sight to see the Ravens set to play their hated rivals the Steelers, and get booed on their own field when kneeling before the anthem. Lol, I don't think the fans care they don't want anything even near disrespecting the flag. I think the NFL got the message loud and clear, they only stand to lose in all of this. I hear now they want to reach a permanent solution to this.

This guy gets it:

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

Thats right, stand!!

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Thats right, stand!!

Yea! or Not! Either way! yawn

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

Nice pic, you must agree about standing. Raising a fist, linking arms, picking your nose, hand over your heart... idc just get off your unless you can't physically stand.

Pass me the tators

Thats right, stand!!

I'll stand as long as it's a choice. The minute it starts becoming some fake patriot's requirement I'll sit my ass down.

Its always a choice they don't put you in gullogs. Want to look like an idiot its a free country, and people are free to point that out.

gullogs you say? idiot you say?

No doubt about that.
Trump is free to look like an idiot on Twitter, displaying to the whole world he doesn't understand why the players are kneeling. Unfortunately there's a lot of other idiots who don't understand either.

Protesting an anthem about the cost of freedom sounds an awful lot like disrespecting the men and women who have served and or died for this nation. How do you spin it? You have to admit it wasn't thought out well. The pledge of allegiance???... it might have worked for that.

I don't need to spin it, they're protesting police brutality and racial inequality.
It's the right wing media that is spinning this whole thing.
No one is protesting the military.

The guys kneeling have said exactly what they're protesting. Sounds to me like you just don't want to talk about that so you're trying to shut them up by accusing them of disrespecting the military.

That may be so... social media is a waste of time. Don't agree with everything he does, but life is better now than if the other candidate had won.
