What a Tuel Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 They're already fellating kaepernick on NFL network. I think I'm gonna vomit. You saw that too? "Teammates in the past have felt Kaepernick was standoffish, but now that he has done this, they are communicating, and he seems happier". Like a great weight has been lifted off his shoulders, and he is doing great things. Like Jesus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) probably a good idea since most of the bills players are sympathetic to his cause and may find him admirable. i would hate for the fans to act boneheaded and disrespectful to the extreme because it could make our players upset. You mean like the Russians did for Rocky Balboa ? Yea probably not. Edited October 16, 2016 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBytheBay Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) you do you realize I'm joking right? so, this means you are against Kaep's right to protest, because its disrespectful? Double edged sword no. I mean you and he are just as entitled to your own positions.... and it's good to disagree... but there's no reason to be disrespectful. No double standard. Go boo. It's you're right. That's isn't disrespectful. But why the personal attacks and threats? (Not accusing you, but people are) He's a jock with an opinion. Why make a mountain out of a mole hill. Personally I'm happy to live in a country where having an opposing opinion isn't a death sentence.... and I've fought for Kaep's right to express his opinion. I don't agree with him... but it would be hypocritical of me to fight for the rights of people like me... and not what my country stands for.

If people get up in arms over a t shirt than there is no win. 26cb, the supreme sjw has already declared buffalo disgraceful in his own special way for these shirts. He quoted blm idiots posting. Many view his actions as disrespectful. Many view t-shirts as disrespectful. In our current state of horrible USA tit for tat we just keep one upping each other. And that's the criticism I have. Kaep speaks on police brutality and wears pig socks. Then he finally goes and grt s consultants to tell him to donate money etc after the fact. He is a twat. Instead of taking a reasonable action on this such as speaking out against the targetting of police and the increased violence he says cops are pigs. What a leader! Why it just fits so well with the idea even shared here by a few that cops have no superiority over a regular citizen.

keepthefaith Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's pretty pathetic that anyone would even have to ask that. Not agreeing with someone's stance, decisions or statements is no reason to be disrespectful. Is booing or calling him a dumbass disrespectful? I think not. It's simply an expression of free speech just like taking a knee during the anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Kaepernick is silently bringing attention to the FACT that black people have always been, and continue to be, treated poorly in this country. What facts are those that prove blacks continue to be treated poorly and what portion of blacks are you speaking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Not so fast. I grew up having to earn respect. Respect isn't something you get for free. Something many young people today have no appreciation for. Treating someone with human decency is not the same as treating someone with respect. Heaven forbid someone get treated with respect and you find out they didn't deserve it. Much worse situation than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mob mentality bodes poorly far, far more often than not. Not sure what any of that has to do with my point about symbols vs. what they symbolize.

I find the increasing trend of mob mentality, vigilante internet justice, and inability of the American public, particularly the youth of this country, to be tolerant of any viewpoint that conflicts with their own to be much much much much much more troubling than a few vets taking the flag a little more seriously than me.

Mob mentality has played a huge role in suppressing the opinions of those who disagree with Kaepernick. The most outspoken people are labeled backwards racists, who can't see the white privilege in front of them. Talk about respecting opinions.

Just my two cents. As do I. There is a brutal mob mentality that seeks to distribute their own version of justice, especially when they believe justice wasn't served to their liking. "Why wasn't he fired?" is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly . Was there a huge outcry when OJ was found not guilty of a crime the vast majority of the public felt he was guilty of? I suppose justice was served in a satisfactory manner then. Of course, his victims were both Caucasian ....I can't recall, but were there widespread reports of looting by white folks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents. It's interesting that all of my veteran friends, all of them, have no problem at all with Kaepernick's displays. I think that's because they don't confuse symbols with what they symbolize. We've all witnessed far more egregious displays of disrespect during the anthem on a near weekly basis at various sport venues for decades. Imo, it isn't that Kaepernick is protesting, it's what he's protesting that incites the mob. Mob mentality has played a huge role in suppressing the opinions of those who disagree with Kaepernick. The most outspoken people are labeled backwards racists, who can't see the white privilege in front of them. I'd be interested in seeing examples of opinions being suppressed because from where I sit, nobody on either side of the issue has had their voice tamped down. Not in the least.
