you're seriouly gonna sit on here and act like kneeling during the anthem should be considered worse than taking someone's life?
I was never comparing kneeling to murder.

You truly are stupid Rickdaddy4188, with stupid defined as "having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense".
What I posted are statistics that are consistent across multiple sources. They already happened, idiot.

What's the problem with giving stolen property back to the people it was stolen from....

Newsflash. If you are an average employee that costs your employer a lot of money and are easily replaceable, don't expect your employer to keep you as an employee.
I wish I could be a below average employee and hide behind some political correctness BS to try to force someone to hire me. Actually, I am glad I have never done that.

then your mindset is part of the problem too.
Right back at ya, slick.
You are expressing your right to protest. Cool. They're expressing their right to hire who they want.
You sound entitled, Eric.

People like to go watch and root for their favorite team. It's a business and placating to player political agendas drives fans away.
Every kid should be taught to respect the rules of those who gave them the platform.

He’s a special kind of stupid. The kind of stupid who thinks they are smart.

Should of thought of this before he decided to disrespect the Flag and National Anthem. Nothing wrong with a protest just don't use the Flag and National Anthem as a platform and avenue to protest

Go hang out with your buddy Kaperdinck. Y’all deserve each other.

Everything you do in life comes with a price. Time to pay up.

His livelihood? Does he have a PhD in football? The bottom line whether Eric Reid wants to admit it or not is that he is in the entertainment business. He isn’t a service provider.
In the entertainment business you are only worth as much as the fans think you are. Piss off the fans and what do you think happens? Should we feel bad for actors who make shitty movies? Or singers who write shitty songs?
The real problem is these atheletes think they are MORE THAN ENTERTAINERS. They think they have a right to play football, and that the fans don’t matter.

It’s literally no different than this situation

Yeah, man. I get that he’s in the entertainment business, actions have consequences, that we’re all flag waving, free market capitalists here. I also get that people are actively rooting against someone to not get a job for nothing more than having a different opinion than them. Why are you so offended, he’s probably a good guy that has a different opinion that doesn’t match yours. Rooting for him to not be signed sounds like something I’d make fun of a SJW for.
Eta...and I think the protests were misplaced, I don’t agree with him, it triggered me, I mostly dig Ben Shapiro and love Jordan Peterson, but I’m not not rooting for him to continue to play football like so many are.

Who is rooting for him not to get signed? I think most people here are saying “I told you so” because they knew he was taking a ridiculous stance that would probably effect his career because it goes against something most of the country believes in.
The bigger mystery is why you are so shocked that people would be upset about someone protesting the country they live in
