If I really wanted to bring awareness
1. I would avoid offending... women,children and patriots
2. I would do so in a positive manner and not look like a spoiled child
3. I would address any hypocrisy in my statement
4. I would keep a CLEAR and CONSISTENT message
5. I would never ever protest in my workplace

no offense, but you don't work in the #1 sports venue in the US, so really, no one would give a frick if you did....

i do agree with you here, though.... it seems they have struggle to be consistent, with some doing the before the anthem some doing during.... and some of them have added to the reasons for protest, while some have stuck with the original premise... doesn't help that it's being misinterpreted, by and large, but to your point, when more and more people got involved protesting, they didn't exactly help validate the position.... if anything, they muddied the water a bit, and gave opportunity to dumbfricks to misconstrue what their reasoning was...

'protesting" by it's nature is somewhat negative... it's not used when shite is going swimmingly... think about it... when someone protests something, it's 9 out of 10 times because they are unhappy with something or someone....

It's not my opinion, it is the way I was raised since I was a child and it is social etiquette. You rise, remove your hat, face the flag and put your hand over your heart, sing along if you want. It's simple. Anything short of that is disrespectful and brings dishonor to the occasion..

perhaps you should tell this dude about how you supposed to national anthem....

The numbers don't support their claim. Black people have more violence in their communities, which is why they have difficulties with police.
This is the obvious truth which no one bothers to publicly state. Instead, the arguments get lost in the weeds of military respect.

Flag and anthem etiquette is actually even codified as federal law. It’s not enforceable in any way, but it’s there. There’s an expected etiquette.

The purpose of the anthem protest is to, once again, moan about racism. To blame white people/police (generally associated with whiteness). Don’t talk about the real problems in the black community, just rehash the tried and true racism meme.
Of course it’s fashionable to be a victim in today’s America, and who doesn’t love the attention. So you missed out on the real civil rights struggle? No problem, just pretend like you’re being oppressed and voila! You’re a courageous hero.

Just the fact that you think "Back the Blue" or "We Support our Troops" or Christian values as controversial tells everyone what they need to know about you. If you're not Christian I can get that, or maybe you're not a big fan of the police but our troops? Without our troops you wouldn't have any rights... and those guys are willing to die for you? Damn dude... think about it.

If the protesters had a legitimate cause, rather than more divisive SJW nonsense, then they’d get more support. If they were kneeling for the legalization of pot, I’d be in full support. But what they’re doing is similar to what the monument protesters are doing. Focusing on meaningless shite.

I guess in your own mind, you made some sort of point. Congrats, I guess.

Yeah, they “muddied the water a bit” Bc no one really knew why they were doing it. It’s a vague anti-white/police cause which is fashionable these days. It’s hard to define when there’s no real basis to begin with.

You must be very confused if you take that picture as a rebuttal to "the military doesn't own the flag".

never.... are they as fun as they make them seem?

so you are cool with subjective interpretation, evidently because if not, then you couldn't hold this position.... keep in mind, someone else, with an opposing view point could have the EXACT same response to this question as you did, and in that case, who would be right? see, there's a reason we have objective rules and regulations on things that really matter, so we can avoid this open interpretation/opinion bullshite....
quote:
Never had a problem.
because you wouldn't dare tell someone to take off their hat during the anthem or to put their hand over their heart, or do any one of the trivial things you say "must" be done during the anthem.... you, in all likelihood, didn't say peep, because you know that your standard is NOT the standard of every single individual, thus, you should stay quiet and mind your own fricking business, rather than try to tell someone else what is and is not correct to do during the anthem...

You seem to forget that people don’t have to watch the kneeling or games if they choose not. For the first year I can remember, I’m not watching NFL games, not even the Saints. I have that choice. I’m good with it.
