my only point was if youre gonna label confederate soldiers as heroes for standing up for their beliefs and they killed us service men then dont act like making a peaceful protest is some huge slap in the face of the military.
and ER and CK are huge POS for standing up for their beliefs.
you know where i stand in the issue of the owners and ER.

i dont agree with ER and CK but i also dont label confederate soldiers as heroes.

Freedom to kneel leads to freedom of owners to not sign you. Capitalism doesn't care about your political views. If the owners think fans want amateur politicians on their team then they'll sign them. The problem is that literally no one does.

No friend I am not, you are romanizing about the South as if they were these innocent bystanders defending themselves. Read the founding docs of the Confederacy. It is clear they were fighting to keep slavery. All the other “factors” are just excuses.

I also said the North were not white knights fighting a moral crusade.

Rhode Island is full of luxury homes built along the ocean with money from the slave trade. Those folks were every bit as involved in slavery


The slave trade was outlawed in the early 1800s. That you are bringing up “what aboutism” is some what telling. That slave labor was used or people that lived in the North got rich trading slaves decades before the Civil War is irrelevant to whether the so called lost cause was a noble fight to defend their homes is bunk, which is all I sta

the VP of the Confederacy straight up said so in the cornerstone speech.

Alexander Stephens- "
Our new government is founded upon exactly this idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."

First off, to keep this relevant to the present thread, I think the owners are more to blame for allowing what took place during these protest rather than the stupid protesters themselves. I could care less what happens to Reid as the entire NFL is dead to me and of no interest. The league did it to itself.
Was slavery legal when the South declared their independence? The answer is YES. Was slavery in danger of being abolished when the South declared their independence? The answer is NO. The north proposed an amendment to the Constitution to enshrine slavery forever if the south remained in the Union. So, if slavery was NOT an issue, why did they declare their independence? Please tell me.

But there’s context to be considered. Those soldiers were soldiers first of all not the officials who started the war and secondly back then that’s just how life was they don’t have the education and understanding of civil liberties and rights we have today. So to judge them using today’s rules is unfair. The protesters are millionaires protesting the county that gave them the opportunity to be wealthy it’s flag and anthem and doing so with limited if not total of ignorance of the issues they’re actually protesting. Do you think they care that police officers kill more white people than black? They’re ignorant and anti American in their protest. But given that it’s fine if they want to do it it’s just wrong to do it while at work and a bad look to do it during events that people enjoy partly because it’s an escape from political rhetoric and nonsense.

I feel bad for Reid, but his protest in owners view would cost them more money then positives of hiring him

unfair? regardless of the circumstances killing US service men is far worse than a peaceful protest.

agreed. imo its still not close to killing US service men.

agreed. i dont support them. im simply pointing the hypocrisy of calling Conf. soldiers heroes when they killed us service men and then hating and wishing ill will towards ER and CK.

this is just my opinion.

Let’s be clear. The Civil War was about MONEY and nothing else. The North was jealous of the South using slave labor and then charge for their products more than they should have. It was about MONEY - The South had it and were holding the North hostage for their products. There was a lack of trust with the trade partners ie didn’t have any built outside of Spain and France.

Was North cost of labor that different. They really shite on those baws

To me the money answer is South had investment tied up in slaves. There was no good way to unwind rich baws from slave assets smoothly

The protest will never never be taken seriously until the players start getting active in their communities. The players like to talk allot, but I am seeing no actions.
