fricking liar.

There's six in that one photo.

You can't be serious. That photo is clearly from this from this past Sunday, week 3 in the NFL. And I stated in the post your responding to:

There were 5 in week 1 and 6 in week 2.

While few seems to agree with my perspective on this, all of the other posters who responded were clearly able to understand what I wrote, especially since my post was comprised of 2 extremely simple sentences.

Yet, not only did you misinterpret the simplest sentence, comprised of 2 simple facts, which someone who is barely literate should be able to understand, you just couldn't have just responded with a simple refutation, indicating it was just a careless mistake. Nope you had just had to add an insult and accuse my of lying.

You call myself and many others idiots everyday, multiple times a day, sometimes over just little comments, largely based on inconsequential opinions. Soconsidering how often you point out so many poster' idiocy, you presumably believe that you are intellectually superior to most, if not all, if the posters here.

But if you can't understand such a basic sentence like the one above, yet lack such self-awareness of this that you'll compound it with an unnecessary insult, I'm beginning to not only think you're not only NOT intellectually superior, you may actually be on the other side of the intellectual spectrum.

The fact that the left is so anti-American and anti-White is a serious issue

good thing i'm not on the left then, huh?

be honest, if this wasn't your guy doing this, say it was Obama, would you be so nonchalant and cavalier in regards to this totally insignificant ordeal?

the fact that some on the right can't see how hypocritical they are being with their virtue signaling (i'm not watching the NFL ever again!!) akin to how SJW's do, the same ones that they so despise, is pretty comical....

these protest have nothing to do with wanting to destroy America, or whites, or any other false narrative you'd like to substitute to validate your position...

i don't think their protesting is doing them any good, but it is the biggest platform that many of them will ever have in their lifetime, so they are making the most of their freedom of expression and that platform, and i understand why they are doing it, even if i don't necessarily think it's the greatest idea...

why because as a white male in america in 2017, i'm not shaking in my boots and pissing myself out of fear, like y'all?

yeah, white males in america... we're the ones who have it so tough? i can barely muster the strength it takes to face another day... God give me the strength!

if you are looking for a "white" country, i'd recommend one of the Nordic ones... they are pretty homogenous over there...

Then because the players are part of an elite "fraternity," and more importantly part of a union which usually leads to a collective mindset, explicitly say that they are going to respond with solitary to the comments

---

You're delusional. They responded that way because they agreed with the kneelers original protest. Blaming Trump is a convenient excuse that no one is buying.

Then to disregard Trump's impact on the increase, yet when it invariably decreases back to where it was beforehand, decide Trump now had an impact on this positive results is just a whole new level of absurd, made worse because it's already decided before it's even happened.

---

The kneeling/protests either stops entirely or continues to do grievous damage to the NFL's ratings. If it stops entirely, that is 100% due to Trump calling attention to the issue.

Like I said you're too clueless to understand what the ultimate goals are for your children and grandchildren are in the prog mindset.

'They need to pay for what was done to the slaves. And we're not just talking reparations. They need a taste of their own medicine'

Statues, reparations, destroying faith in public institutions, wealth redistribution are just the warm up acts

Honestly, if you're going to be a contrarian, you need to get much better at actually looking at things from outside the narrative.

I'm discussing the situation using quantifiable data, pre and post intervention, corroborated by the players comments before the games happened.

And in Saturday and Sunday, before the game, it was pretty much the consensus across views that the players would respond with much more protesting, which is why we had multiple boards completely filled with the topic from Sunday morning onward. Which is also why the networks were interviewing coaches about the protesting before the game, while devoting a significant amount of their coverage to it, with a dramatic increase in the ratings the PREGAME ratings. And finally this is a why, 3 teams made unprecedented decisions to not take the filed until after the anthem to avoid it altogether.

The only thing missing at that time was the pre and post data, but the post data was going to provide an assessment of the damage, but again, the consensus was that the storm was coming.

And frankly, I didn't realize until Tuesday, when someone posted the link to the assessment or this weekend's games (post-data) that ESPN had been tracking it all along. I had just assumed that there were, on average, a few players per team protesting--5 or 6, maybe even a few more, AT each game. Basically, enough protesters to notice if one was aware of them, but not still few enough where it may have gone unnoticed if it wasn't known. And obviously enough, where I wouldn't be surprised that the President has noticed it without news to watch more than one anthem to see a handful of players.

And since I'm not emotionally invested in this protesting, I'm sure those who were believed the protesting was as prevalent, if not more. So the inevitable increase in response to Trump's comments would be easy to argue as an acceptable outcome to address an issue that was prevalent enough that it needed addressed. And the only logical argument I had against that was that it gave them the attention they wanted.

And now as we are obviously preemptively declaring victory, with 5 or 6 players per protesting per game, that increase is even more justifiable if it gets down to 5 or 6 per game. And frankly, if protesting deceased to only 5% of the prevalence pre-comments, well the that would be a huge victory.

Yet now with pre-comment data that shows that it wasn't 5 or 6 players per game protesting, it was only 5 or 6 total. And now an increase in protesting in response to Trump's comments, which was once the consensus across the board and an acceptable view for his supporters, is conveniently the "contrarian" view to those same supporters.

And now, getting the protesting down to 5 or 6 total, which was a clear victory for Trump when they deceased it to a fraction of the protesting before the comments, isn't so much or a victory if we are right back where we started.

I am the only one who is actually presenting quantifiable and objective data pre and post intervention in order to analyze facts empirically without the need to rely on, and exclusively rely on, feelings, assumptions, and biases. Yet, not only hasn't anyone acknowledged the plausibility of my argument or even provided a counter-argument to it instead, all I've gotten in response are insults and accusations that I'm a liar, a contrarian, obtuse, and ignoring the context. And in your post, you call me a contrarian and in the very same sentence tell me I need to look outside the narrative. Those two statements seem contradictory, but I believe I am looking outside the narrative since I haven't seen anybody else in either side actually be the argument on the pre and post data.

So whole those insults are probably appropriate in many other arguments (except liar), it's interesting that they are so prevalent in a discussion when I'm actually presenting facts and the insults aren't coming with facts to refute and really even discussing the facts.

And in a finely note, Isn't it frustrating that the leftists often resort insults and unverifiable arguments without objective facts when confronted with facts against their argument. It seems like they know they can't win with facts so they go for emotion instead. So why are you all responding in the same way as them? Could it be that you're resorting to emotion without the facts to counter?
