Singer Took Knee After Singing National Anthem For NFL Game

The difference in outlook on each probably falls the way it does because of the way the media decides to report on each. It's hard to hear a national voice oppose these players kneeling. No telling how many people with a national voice are supporting these players kneeling. Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the Music Industry, the Mainstream Media, etc. None of them are a voice for fly over country, all they do is spout the political ideologies prevalent in big cities. I think people are just happy that someone is voicing the opinion of rural areas, because you rarely get to hear their thoughts on an issue.

Chances are you have done. Most of us who served feel this way. Dumbasses gonna dumbass, but we secured that right for them.

No one is saying you should arrest these dudes. What people are saying is if you are going to disrespect this country, this flag, and our game of football by refusing to stand then we will exercise our right not to support you. Get it? People act like the only freedom of expression comes from these whiny multimillionaires. People are just sick of it.

Do what I do...go to a movie. You have the theater pretty much to yourself and there's no line for popcorn.

The press is giving these twats all the press they want.

Hillary Clinton and the Democrat media have been bitching for 8 months; "what happened" and "the resistance." Or did you conveniently forget? We are here to stay so shut the frick up.

ole man you're living in old days that kept a lot of the shite going that these guys a protesting. Time to actually speak to people who've been in these situations that they're protesting and maybe you'll understand "black power shit". Your comment was spoken like a true supremacist.

I never knew fighting for equality and equal treatment under the law was "black power shit". I thought it was called accountability and justice.

TJ, what inequality is being fought? Please don't say police brutality... Men are shot 95% of the time by police as well, I guess the police is super sexist against men? Nah society rightfully realizes that men, on average, commit the vast majority of violent crime. Now apply that same filter to race...

I protest both. Why do some idiots think that because someone protests one thing it means they accept another? Basically, it's not ok to protest police brutality from overzealous cops because blacks kill other blacks? Got it. It's ok for cops to kill unarmed people or rough people up to "show who's boss". I've experienced it as a kid and into adulthood. Thrown on the hood of a hot arse police car because because a my taillights went out due to a blown fuse on my way home. Several unwarranted incidents like this throughout my life. Luckily, I'm still here. Some cops are pieces of shite just like any other citizen who takes another person's life for no reason, especially in my community. At least threads are being started and admins are posting it on a sports forum like this to keep the exposure going.

Luziana - might want to look at statistics of cops violence vs whites/blacks. Blacks are LESS likely to be killed. But continue with racist fervor.

Several of the cops that started the whole round of protests were black. Just saying. Police brutality should be addressed on a case by case basis, and the officers should be punished accordingly. However, there shouldn't be a national crisis every time a thug is shot by a cop trying to protect the community.

Gotta get that paper first before he stands up for what he "believes" in. #C.R.E.A.M
