Lots of racism going around these days. He obviously doesn't like being held down by the white man. The fact that he only makes millions compared to the white man's billions is a slap in the face.

He has an image to uphold in liberal San Francisco. What would all those people think if he started supporting a flag soaked in the blood of minorities? The 49ers suck. He's got to gain support somehow.

This I don't get.

Exercising free speech is disrespectful to those that fought for that ideal? Really?

And by the way, the change we want to see is police act like police and stop acting like thugs. And their acting like that in all areas. The majority doesn’t mind taking a few losses, I guess. Sad. Geaux Tigers.

If only all the people who take offense to this also take a stance against the murderous cops who kill unarmed people.....

I've got a somewhat different approach - if you're going to say that kneeling during any other week has absolutely nothing to do with the military, and you still respect the military and all that jazz, then I'd expect you to kneel today as if it was any other day.

If you've been arguing the kneeling is not disrespectful to the military, you shouldn't change your tune on Veterans Day.

Don't get me wrong, I disagree with the kneeling, but at least Reid has been consistent with it. Those who knelt previously but took this week off have lost the ability to make that argument.

Ahh there it is. Knew this was coming. 50% of the murders in this country are committed by a race that is only 13% of the population. Because cops, and mainly white cops, cause them to do it? Give me a break.

Has nothing to do with the military or the flag, and everybody knows this. Stop lying to yourselves like children. Keep up the good work Eric, and Geaux Tigers.


Yeah Eric! Keep up the good work kneeling during the national anthem. That's awesome work. That'll show those mean cops why you kneel your lazy arse on the sideline.

That's real hard work. fricking idiots. Lol.

This x100. Seem as if the flag doesn't represent anyone but the military the media & people taking offense to trying to twist the narrative.

There has always been racist stupid people and there always will be stupid uneducated people, it will never change

But a lot of this is blown out of proportion and is depicted in such a mass scale.

But curious, what the hell qualifies as racism now? hell everything is apparently

You people are insufferable. I'm sick of this even being an issue - these guys can demonstrate however they want; I honestly don't care. But the fact that some of yall get so worked up over this is pathetic.


Then you are no patriot. Normalizing the disrespect of our country on our largest stage is about the biggest insult to a country a society can bring. Your ignorance of the subject only fuels it further.

Everything is racist. That's the point. You're a racist, I'm a racist, he's racist...etc. We need to all be open about it and be happy racists! Could you imagine a world where everyone acted like Dave Chappelle? It'd be beautiful!
