Returntoglory Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 as a member of the military you can still only speak for yourself. Just like anyone else. Get that phony Bologna speak as someone important because you enlisted so your opinion is more valuable nonsense out of here. But thanks for your service in the chair force Actually he can speak for many in the US Military. Most actually by a very wide margin. And yes, I would say that anyone who serves his country and is putting his or her life on the line for our freedom has an opinion that has more relevance, depending on the subject of course. And Chair Force? That's a good one! Because, you know, all of us Air Force folks ever did was sit on our butts and did absolutely no work nor contributed to anything of significance to our nation's defense. What Branch of the military were you in again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 First off, thank you for your service. I think we will have to agree to disagree on this. We are always told that this is the greatest country because we are free to dissent when we see something we feel is wrong. While we may not agree with the methods of spreading the message, we must be dilligent not to remove his ability to use those means if he deems them necessary. Who is saying to remove his ability to do what he did? That's what I don't get. No one restricted or removed that ability or are even suggesting it. He has to live with the reaction he gets, though.

Boatdrinks Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's too bad Kaepernick didn't say he was protesting America's treatment of its veterans. He'd probably be regarded as a hero. You are 100% correct. And since those veterans are supposed to be taken care of by the US govt, protesting the govt in the way he did may have a different resonance to it. The treatment of veterans is a much bigger problem and a direct failure of the US govt. The issue he chose to champion has questionable merit ( it was more media hype in an election year than factual) and no direct link to the US govt whatsoever. It is not even statistically relevant. Hence the negative reaction. It's not about his right to protest, just that he is wrong. He may believe it, but he's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha I think it's more so about the posters that have said they'd be done with this team if Kap is signed. AP used a switch to beat his kids grapes purple. Now maybe Vikings fans just appreciated the new hue of a young fans jewels chalking it up to Xtreme dedication in fandom and were able to dismiss it for his Dads talents. Something along those lines would make me question this organizations morals. Standing or kneeling for a lil patriotic ditty... not so much.That's just me though.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think after 350 posts/replies and some tenacious ground and pound infighting among the buffalo faithful, it's fair to say that their IS a way to slice it where signing CK would NOT represent good value for the buffalo bills.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 All those that fought for and lost their lives for this country didn't die in vain be because CK "disrespects" the flag. The flag is a symbol, just a piece of cloth that means many things to many people. To get people to fight for it is a control issue. This debate is not a control issue. Enlightenment is non-attachment. Unfortunately, many have been trained to stay attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
