zevo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Get the !@#$ out then Colin you pos.....you always respect your country's anthem no matter what your view points....

26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Get the !@#$ out then Colin you pos.....you always respect your country's anthem no matter what your view points.... Expressing his POV is what we call freedom in this great country. If you want him to adhere to only expressions of love, then maybe you should try out North Korea to see how you like it there.

Fadingpain Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The whole national anthem/flag/military honor guard/military jet flyover thing that is now associated with sports in this country is flat out bizarre and really has nothing to do with watching sports. Some of it is flat out paid for by the military as a marketing ploy. Get rid of all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it. Him not standing up for the national anthem to make a point about black people is about as useful jerking off to fight world hunger.

Mike in Horseheads Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Don't worry about it. Him not standing up for the national anthem to make a point about black people is about as useful jerking off to fight world hunger. It doesn't seem to be working.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm Muslim and i don't worship any idols let alone fight for them (a flag) and must say that we get harassed just as much if not more than "black people" as he says but i still get up and take off my hat for the national anthem just to be respectful. I mean i don't sing along and all that stuff but still. The only line that i really like is in the pledge of allegiance. "One nation under God".

Some of it is flat out paid for by the military as a marketing ploy. Get rid of all of it. I've never really understood it either. The part I appreciate is the games where they honor a veteran, that's a cool tradition thanking someone specifically for what they've done. But I don't really get the national anthem.

White Linen Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I understand & appreciate your POV, but he has the right to his as well. There's the viewpoint it's disrespectful to what a lot of people hold dear in this country - he has a right to say I don't care, I'm not standing to stand up for this - others have a right to say well then I don't think you deserve this country - he has a right to live here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only guess it was something that they started during war time that stuck or another league was doing it also so they figured "what the heck!"

I too used to think that was cool. Then I found out that teams were paid for those promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 i think he and his "stand" of not standing up for the anthem is symbolic of the a$$h*&les that permeate the NFL and sports in general these day.. and as always :JMHO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yes, Kap...this country oppresses black people so much, we elected one to be it's president. Twice. Freaking idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
