this is where the NFL is going to get squeezed to put a stop to the pampered protests

What you like to do is point out something that isn't even the issue. You like to point the finger at something that doesn't make sense unless you point out what both sides are doing. The Americans who are upset dont want to pay for a game or merchandise or TV to watch these players protest. They wouldn't care if they were protesting off the field..which brings me to my point..these players AREN'T protesting off the field. They did it solely to be trendy. You're calling out the side you disagree with..but You're not calling out the players for what they are..and what they're doing. Take a step back and look at what is happening and get the full view.

It's more like a volcano building pressure. Lol
I don't know about all that. Social media magnifies everything these days, I think years from now people will look back (if they remember at all) and wonder what the big deal was about some athletes kneeling down in a quiet, non-violent protest.

Yep and if you are a black American exercising your right of freedom of speech you will be punished. Glad we can agree on that.

That's exactly what you're doing by trying to make this amount the military or love for our country.
One side is protesting police brutality and racial inequality, the other side is complaining about it and trying to shut them down by calling them unpatriotic.
Then don't, and stop crying about it so much.
BS, spend more time on this site and you'll see people ragging on protesters all the time, lumping every protester in with the opportunistic rioters in order to avoid having a tough discussion about race in this country.
I have a full view, some people are kneeling, a completely nonviolent passive form of protest against racial inequality. Trump made a twitter rant to distract from the many failures of his administration, and his base came chomping at the bits to eat his obvious bait. Sad.

You clearly don't see what is wrong with them doing it on the field during the national anthem where people are paying to see them PLAY FOOTBALL and nothing more..thats the issue. And the utter disrespect they show towards a flag and a country that gave them so much..You also wouldn't be allowed to protest on the clock..

Actually what they're doing is not protected by the constitution.
I guarantee you that if I quietly took a knee during the anthem while on the clock UPS would not do anything. There's really nothing they could do.

Well. Looks like you are just as unpatriotic as they are. Because people like you..er..Liberals..will never see things for what they are. You care more about feelings than facts.

Ah yes, the patriotism argument, lol.

Bottom line. Look at the facts..stop supporting emotion based acts. Which is what this kneeling is..there is no foundation for it. KAEPERNICK is the only player who actually did it for a reason.

you did say quietly do your protest in front of hundreds of thousands watching , let UPS be accused of being unpatriotic and I think that would change.
