re: Could be the end of Eric Reid's NFL career or smaller deal than he's worth

Oh people are welcome to disagree but to act like its a massively offensive thing to kneel is extreme

I was more offended by how the media worked with the protesters to shove their agenda down our throats.

I was also more offended by the NFL for letting their employees protest while the broadcast of the game was on.

The players protesting did what they thought was best, but the way they did things didn't help their cause(whatever it was).

If Reid wants to protest, go for it. Just not while on the job.

That's really for his employer to decide, and why like millions of others say screw Goodell and the NFL.

His principles are Progressive Race Fundamentalism; Black Racial Grievance, Black Cultural Separatism, historical ignorance, lazy and ill-informed anti- Americanism, anti- patriotism, over the top denigration of law enforcement and the military, peddling catastrophic External Locus Of Control psychology to blacks, and on and on....

He’s basically a really fit and handsome Gravy Chambers. The more philosophically aligned any American is to Eric Reid, the more likely they are to lead a life of failure and personal chaos. He’s financially insulated from the garbage he peddles. He’s privileged.

Eric Reid represents Race grievance, race hatred, Identity Politics, repudiation of American principles, ideals, traditions and institutions etc. The opposite of what actually succeeds for America which is promoting The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, personal responsibility, equal protection under the law, personal gratitude, FAMILY, hard work, education etc.

Downvote like your life depends on it, but Eric Reid is a colossal moral idiot.

HANDS UP DONT SHOOT!

PANTS UP DONT LOOT!!!

These protests certainly have put the NFL in an interesting predicament.

Say they cant do them and get labeled racists/against 1st amendment rights.

Say nothing and continue to allow it and get labeled anti-patriotic anti-Americans.

Oh yeah, and everyone is a snowflake in the end

No. Its the same as me constructing an argument using Hitler to illicit negative feelings. I'm too dumb to notice that though

The labels on both sides are a problem. There is a reasonable discussion to be had but both sides just want someone to hate. The vocal ones anyway

The First Amendment only applies to the GOVERNMENT - i.e., the government can't punish you for speech.

It DOES NOT apply to private entities, like employers.

This isn't a First Amendment issue at all.

Doesnt mean the label wouldn't happen, which was my point

Its fine to disagree with his politics but its also a safe bet he is smarter than 99% of the people that have posted in this thread.

if he thinks that what happened to Alton Sterling could happen to his dad, then no, he isn't smarter than many on this board. He's a naive idiot.

Just b/c he's smart academically doesn't make him smart in everything he talks about. In regards to all of this, he's an idiot.

Just b/c Richard Sherman went to Stanford, doesn't mean whatever he talks about is so wise and smart.

Ted Kaczynski was a genius you know.

I don't understand why people just assume b/c someone is smart in school, or went to a "prestigious" university, that everything they say is smart now.

So, a guy simply and quietly takes a knee in protest of what he perceives to be Government abuses, and he's bad ... but this is the same Government that some folks feel the need to arm themselves to the teeth against. Got it.
