That's what I was asking of the poster I quoted.

Not saying there is, but I am saying he's got the freedom to wear them. Then I asked if it was just a picture of a pig with no police reference, if that would still be offensive?

Still expression. What if it was pictures of pigs with no reference to police?

Oooh facts! Also, fly logo. I like the incorporation of "C", "K", and "7" together.

Yeah trading him within the division would have went over well...

That cuts both ways, right?

70% of statistics are made up on the spot. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(The_Legend_of_Zelda)

It's just so complex that it's above us all. If the NFL ever changes to have 12 men on the field, then he'll be considered a visionary ahead of his time.

There are technically codes containing requirements for keeping displayed flags "properly illuminated" or something like that, but I don't think they have any legal teeth.

I think both systems are intertwined and very much relevant. The socio-economic system and criminal justice system definitely affect each other all the time. Regardless, in the context of football, whether it's this system or that system or both or neither, whether they're protesting racial inequality or the reasonableness of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a deity, a person retains their right to nonviolent, free expression.

Talk about flawed. I have no clue what you are saying.

No one said that. People who commit crimes should be punished equally. The point is that if one race is being jailed 6x as much as any other race, then there's probably a problem with the system, not the race.

Because it is more logical to see that as a flaw in the criminal justice system than to see it as an accurate reflection of criminality across races. I personally don't think that, by nature, any race of people is 6x more criminal than any other race. Well I have a J.D., but I certainly did not make the rules.

Shall not = cannot; it's prohibited Should not = can, but it is advised against

Don't post stats about Matthews vs. Watkins or he'll break his own rule and call you a troll.

The dude's name and how he looks both scream offensive lineman.

Whichever way you cut it, the guys who are kneeling/sitting/raising their fists already accomplished the goal of furthering and spreading the discussion.

Unless he's not one of the best 5-6 WRs on the roster, which even with the dropsies he probably is, Holmes probably won't get cut until around Week 10. That's my guess anyways.

Just re: the Kaepernick isn't good because he's vegan thing - plenty of athletes are vegan or vegan-ish and have great careers. Arian Foster, Trent Williams, Tom Brady, Brandon Flowers, Tyrann Mathieu, Grady Jarrett, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Mebane, Theo Riddick just to name a few. Protein can come from all sorts of sources. As long as you're getting enough of it somehow, then you're fine. Not campaigning here, just pointing out it's not a death sentence to an NFL career. https://www.peta.org/blog/nfl-players-going-vegan/

He's no Nathan Peterman.

How dare anyone dishonor those who fought for your freedom by... exercising their freedom...

We should have gotten Roethlisberger too.

Right? If only we drafted Martavis Bryant.

We could just wait, tender him too low, and watch him join the Patriots*.

Let's trade him for a draft pick.
