You don’t know these historical facts?

No, he isn't doing anything that Fox News isn't.

Look I don't give a shite because I can form opinion for myself, but the moment you start getting pissed at people because you disagree with their opinion and want to silence them, that's when we have a problem.

Just like Liberals try to silence the right, conservatives constantly try to silence liberals. I wish both sides will take a look in the mirror and see how abhorrently hypocritical all this shite is.

Protesting because he grew up black in a racist America, people will hate him for protesting, then people will hate those people for hating him, it will be perceived as racism and the circle of hate continues round and round. I’m over it already. Nothing to see but drama. Guess what? Life is hard. People don’t like other people for what ever reason their heart desires. Do your best to be a descent considerate citizen and when all else fails, grow your skin a little thicker and Suck it the f@c& up! This goes for everyone From Black Lives Matter to Blue Lives Matter.

It is sad to see someone like him living the life of a king in the greatest country in the history of the world, and yet is so ungrateful. He is blind to the real problems holding “his people” down.

Another black brainwashed by racist white hating black culture. Not oppressed. And the only point he provided evidence for is a black guy got killed in his home by a shite cop. Yeah? So did a 15 year old white kid by a crazy white cop. Both races are going through the same thing, the media focuses on the blacks though because the ignorant eat it up.

I personally love it when privileged athletes preach about oppression. It’s just as funny as when celebrities lecture everyone on global warming and ‘your carbon footprint’- as they climb into a lier jet heading to St Tropez.

What about people that use selective facts to push an agenda? That’s my problem. It’s got nothing to do with our opinions differing.

It's laughable watching a millionaire lecture others on the subject of oppression, especially since Reid lives in a nation that allows black athletes to make millions simply by playing a game. That doesn't sound like oppression to me.

I support his right to free speech, but I disagree wholeheartedly with his views.

No... he's using his job to do that, not his platform. He's an employee, but like ALL NFL PLAYERS, they don't view what they have as a job. That is very evident by the fact that 1yr into a new contract, players want to renegotiate the contract they just signed... usually because someone else got a better deal.

Truth be told Whitey is a big part of the fatherless problem in the black communities. Is it weird that Whitey’s initials are LBJ.??

I think Reid has many of his facts correct and some of his perspectives wrong. I also think people should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. Glad to see he's back in the league.

If he was a smart kid he would go out into the community and help the under privileged on his off time, not kneel during the national anthem.
One serves a purpose, the other serves no purpose but to damage his million dollar career.

I don't give a frick what he is kneeling for. He could be kneeling to stop vet clinics from feeding dogs peanut butter for all I care. My ENTIRE GRIPE with all of this is that people are trying to say they are patriots and get upset when someone exercises their RIGHTS.

I neither agree or disagree with this protest because I don't have all the facts. I haven't had the time to seek out reliable sources and do my due diligence, and I'm sure as frick not going to believe what I hear on CNN or Fox News. I have a lot of other shite going on and I'm not going to crucify him over something I don't know myself.

It sure pisses me off when people who spout how much they love America get angry at their fellow countrymen for exercising their rights.
