Just asking about the good ole' USA.

Would it matter to your argument?

You don't look to discuss these items. Your mind is made up. Pretty much everyone's is. The problem here is people won't let this go because they think it's some Noble cause

It's becoming a game of chicken and it's sad.

Who on this board/thread has disrespected the service of Senator McCain?  If you really want to reach, maybe flat Earth theory is your game.

 

Actually I think that's Ben Carson's game.

Oh and I wasn't directing my comment as a criticism of anyone on this board. But I don't think it was off topic given the discussion of respect (or the lack thereof) for Vietnam vets.

NFL Owners are a bunch of cowhering Pussies. With this vote to limit peoples rights in public funded stadiums. 

Huh?  They are getting a ton of backlash for doing something they believe in.  Would they be braver if they did something different just so they didn't get yelled at?

Not really.  It's democracy at it's finest.  The majority have spoken.  It's about time the majority gets it's say.

On this board? Don't know. Donald Trump super patriot(I say in sarcasm)has. Stated ,and I quote, John McCain is not a war hero. As a Viet era veteran I'm offended by Trump more than by any of those war protesters.

This is not true and constitutes a fundamental misunderstanding of, well, everything.

 

Did David Stern bend over for 45 20 years ago, dopey?

So given the context is it okay to say that Hillary is not a patriot and hates vets because she "wiped" her server concealing she sold US secrets to other countries?  Should we out of nowhere just start talking about why the sky is blue to divert/deflect from the actual content at hand?

Employers limit constitutional rights all the time; that's totally legal.

 

Why should the NFL be any different?

So are they ok with a protest in a public funded stadium. This policy says nope. So yes they bent over and limited the right to protest.

 

i hope a player goes out takes a knee, gets fined and watch the lawsuits

The NBA has done this for 20 years.

 

You act like the NFL is the only employer who has ever had public funding.  Did you just wake up today?

 

Still waiting on Kaep's lawsuit successes.  LOL.

Except for the fact that the majority of the public that funded the stadium doesn't want players to take a knee.  So there ;)

A flag that requires compulsory standing does not deserve respect. 

 

Which is why the government isn't forcing this, and why western enlightenment values still rule the day. 

But the NFL can !@#$ right off, since it apparently doesn't care about those.


There is a difference between government regulation and private employer mandates.

Why is it that people assume they represent the majority? Possibly the majority don't agree but that doesn't mean the majority supports restricting freedom of speech.
