LOL talk about an extreme response. My employer pays me to keep equipment working. I'm not allowed to play video games while on the clock. Yup they are my Sunday afternoon hookers.

Bray Wyatt Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Just now, PromoTheRobot said: Why? I think it's an important perspective. Its not the same thing at all. One, the german thing was government mandated, the NFL is the business owners decision. Two, the team was banned for a year in Germany, the nfl team would be fined. Three, they dont even have to stand, they can stay in the lockerroom if they dont want to stand. Also, the NBA has a policy that requires people to stand, but of course the NFL is the bad guy. NBA's rule: (2) Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.

Chugga Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It’s kinda interesting how whenever you bring up this debate the immediate response is “they are disrespecting our troops and veterans” and you can’t even say a word to change anyone’s mind on the fact that these thug players are disrespectful pieces of trash and how our military deserves better than that. But then here we are in this thread I’m scrolling through like 10 pages of crap and it’s amazing to me how quickly the tone of a conversation can degrade down to pretty great depths of disrespect for an active member of our military simply because he disagrees. I’ve seen a lot of players kneel and get called every name in the book. Never seen anyone of them call one of our vets a dum dum though and goad them onto a petty argument. I guess disrespect is in the eye of the beholder. Or whatever works to further your argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you said: 12 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: The NFL isn't the first sports league with a patriotism policy. You are the definition of low-information. Holy smokes. You pulled the Nazi card when there's an already existing league in the US with a mandatory anthem policy. One that's been around for decades. Of which you never cared or bothered to discover. It's hilarious how mighty and moral folks get when they've been admittedly ignorant to "wrongdoing" for 20 years in their own nation. Yeah sure, you're a defender of truth and justice and the American Way 20 years after the fact. LOL.
