It is their right. It is also your right not to watch, and ownerships right not to employ them for their actions. They aren't being thrown in jail. Its a peaceful protest. Stupid, but peaceful. When you slap the people that support you the most, you usually don't get much done.

If I remember correctly one of our posters tried to get you to boycott last year. Who was that? I think it was stud. You guys should listen to him more.

On the job one can't just do or say as they please and keep their job. I'm not even sure what they are protesting. Racial injustice?? They can't be jailed for it but they dam sure could be fired!!! NFL is ran by poosies!! |

I'm not sure, but I think the point stud was trying to make a while back was if they want to protest the national anthem that is their first amendment right. The problem I think he had was that Goodell wouldn't allow others to exercise their first amendment right by wearing 9/11 shoes or putting stickers on their helmets honoring the 6 Dallas officers that were killed.
Stud is that what you were going for?

NFL is ran by poosies!! We agreed. People know their rights all too well. They don't understand their responsibilities or the consequences of practicing these rights. I could stage a walk out in my school. I can be fired for that behaviour as well. I have the right to burn a flag, but I should understand that someone might be pizzed off enough to punch me in my nose. |

Stud is that what you were going for? Some attacked Tebow for kneeling down, his 1st Amendment right, but are saying this is good. Conversely, if you were pro Tebow kneeling, you should theoretically support this 1st Amendment demonstration. I agree. There needs to be one rule. And stick to it. |

Most people I know, no matter what ideology, would never act like these grown men. There is a better way to make your point heard. Like I said, they are attacking a lot of the same people that are almost always on their side. Beat your wife, do drugs, etc etc. These guys got your back. Just don't be political, for any reason. They are there to play a game. Play for God's sake. |

He must have forgotten his password or something. |

The original kneeling happened because of police shootings. Yesterday was in response to Trump attacking some athletes verbally for not going to the white house, and for the kneeling. Are we also disappointed in a President that acts like this towards individuals in our country? Just saying. Steph Curry saying he might not go, then the Pres. getting butt hurt by it? I'd be worried about nuclear winter more right now.

I don't disagree with the protest, I just wish they would've picked a different way to do it.

They can protest elsewhere. Stand for the flag. That is all.
Our President needs to act like a President and not speak his mind ALL the time, IMO.
He should have handled that situation differently, but he's dang sure NOT a politician.
