Mike in Horseheads Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just curious who is worse? the protesters and the thousands of fans who are just outside of the gates pounding those last few beers while the anthem is being played?

26CornerBlitz Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Don't post stats about Matthews vs. Watkins or he'll break his own rule and call you a troll. You make a troll post, you get called out for it. You need moral support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 In that case execution is in order, I believe the NFLPA has a clause allowing for sideline executions.Only if determined to be a witch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 They are advisory rules. "There's no rules." "Yes, there are. Here." "But those aren't real rules..." Thanks.

boyst Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 They are advisory rules. no. They're actual laws. Like speeding, drugs, stealing. The difference is there is no listed punishment for offending the law. But it is infact national law but it is not enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just outed yourself as someone incapable of having an adult discussion of the subject. I'm saying that they are advisory rules, not laws. It's etiquette and nothing more. I just don't think an advisory rule is something that can or should be enforced in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I am amazed that so many here wonder why the Anthem is played at a public sporting event?

jkirchofer Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Doesn't matter what you think or how you feel about it, he exercised his First Amendment right.

jrober38 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Personally I think it's a terrible forum for protest, and detracts from whatever you are protesting...but people have the right to do it, and employers have the right to fire and not hire those that do it. People are so used to being entitled to things these days, that they believe they can say and do anything they want with no consequences what so ever... Sure, free speech allows you to legally do and say things...but that doesn't mean you are immune from any consequences, YES THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. I think every NFL players knows there are consequences for protesting the anthem. All they have to do is look at Colin Kaepernick and see that he's unemployed as a result of the stance he took.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just curious who is worse? the protesters and the thousands of fans who are just outside of the gates pounding those last few beers while the anthem is being played? Funny, but this makes a really good point. We do it - stop eating and drinking, fumble for a place to put down the beer, try to find a hand to take off the ballcap - because we know others are watching and we don't want to appear disrespectful. Which is a different thing than actually feeling a deep sense of respect and behaving accordingly. Virtue signaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
