The Wiz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 He has every right to sit when he wants, but please ignore this fool. I don't think it's about the national anthem. He's just warming up for his game time position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I don't think it's fair to white people that the game has to be played with brown footballs. Every freakin' game! Where are all the white footballs? We are losing our country. And who let Donald Trump's tanning salon determine the color of NBA basketballs? @SBNationNFL The 49ers say the national anthem is a special part of pregame, but the team backs Kaepernick’s right to protest. https://t.co/eKMD19rrKs Some consultant just made $30k for feeding that line of bull for the 9ers to spew.

Ralonzo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If Kaepernick was "sitting to make a statement," he would have announced it beforehand. He's just making ish up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My parents taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say about a person, you shouldn't say it. And I definitely don't have anything nice to say about that moron. Nice to see those family morals paying off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 And who let Donald Trump's tanning salon determine the color of NBA basketballs? Now this was objectively funny!

Dr.Sack Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The national anthem is a joke and has no place at sporting events. We know our country is great, but we are not there to celebrate our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 since we are better than other countries, just sit down( or stand up in this case) and shut up. Don't exercise your freedoms unless you have permission too. are you in academia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 It could be a lot worse Among the most controversial of all Supreme Court decisions happened in 1989, when a divided Court allowed flag burning as protected free speech. http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2015/06/inside-the-supreme-courts-flag-burning-decision/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) because we elected a black president, that means there's no more racism? It's in November. Every year. And Polish Americans and Irish Americans share October and Irish American history month is in March. But only black american history month is taught in schools- at least the ones around here. Not Native American, Irish, Italian, Polish or any other that I'm aware of. So if a student complains that they only get one month, as in the example that started all of this, then to respond that they are lucky to have one celebrated is not inappropriate, IMO. Are you saying that the student was correct and they deserve more? If so, why and to what purpose? Edited August 27, 2016 by vincec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thought this was an interesting history lesson on the anthem and sporting events. I recall seeing it when it first came out in ESPN magazine after 9/11. 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is an OK song for what it is, but I've always felt 'America The Beautiful' best captured America and all it encompasses.

Stormin Norman Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) He has the right to do it. That right is provided for under the constitution of this country, which tens of thousands have died to defend. Not respecting the anthem on that point alone make him a f'ing jerk. There's no valor in his charade. Get out there and support what you believe in for real vs. Making a statement on the sideline like a pu$$y.

Malazan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 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. Well said.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
