So taking a knee is disrespectful but replacing "home of the brave" with "home of the Tigers", a fricking football mascot, is perfectly acceptable?
Absolutely. One id a protest, the other is just people having fun.

Face it, most of you don't give a shite about respecting the national anthem until you find someone black doing it for reasons you don't approve. Same shite during the Olympics.
You are such a fricking joke sometimes.

So disrespecting it is acceptable depending on your intent? Gotcha.

That statement about the Olympics is undeniable. Track relay team didn't put their hands over their heart and the board went nuts. Two white guys didn't put their hand over their heart after winning 1st and 2nd in the shot put and no one said a damn thing.

There is no disrespect there. Only a contrarian like yourself trying to make a ridiculous argument would call that disrespect.

Which one do you think had more viewers? That was tough to figure out.

First of all, there is nothing faux about a lot of this outrage. People are legitimately pissed at Kaep's actions, and his reasoning for his actions.
Honestly this is one of those times where faux outrage would be better than real outrage. This goes right to the heart of the thread on people being offended far too easily.

Second, I'm fairly certain you can see the difference in changing one word of the anthem at football game compared to publicly protesting by not acknowledging the anthem for "what it represents."
I see the intent is different, and if that is the reason people are upset, then take issue with his reasoning, but stop all the uproar about the lack of reverence paid to the national anthem when it is turned into a joke at every LSU football game.

So these guys can dream up that one and only one race is being oppressed in this country and will protest our nation for their made up dream, and no one is allowed to have an opinion that doesn't agree? Go frick yourself.

It's not turned into a joke because of changing one word. You can't honestly tell me you believe that.

I agree, it's a total joke at how many people set their poppers off for the "rocket's red glare" instead of the "bombs bursting in air."
Get it together, people.

I just think the lack of consistency from Kaep/Reid and those who are pissed is amusing. Kaep/Reid have no end game and protesting the anthem or the flag is silly, but whatever. The people who are up in arms are just as silly because they acknowledge no one should listen to a shitty QB's opinion on the subject while simultaneously giving it far more attention than it deserves.
I genuinely couldn't care less about the actions. They're dumb as hell, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to give it much more thought than that. I'm more than willing to let the whole thing just go away.

I don't agree with it and think it's extremely disrespectful. But it's their rights as an American to do it. They could find more productive ways to protest.
The irony is CK wearing a Fidel Castro shirt at a Press Conference.

Anyone who does that should have to play football in Iran to show them how blessed they are to make money playing a game, while the rest of us get up and go to a job.

So the real person showing faux outrage here is you?

There's no intent to disrespect or minimize the flag or country by saying/yelling that, you dumb mfr.
Actually it's a sentiment of local pride coupled with national.
frick you're dumb.

That is an awfully convenient position to take. You can argue the severity of the disrespect, but when the lyric says "home of the brave" and it is changed to "home of the Tigers", it is unequivocally disrespectful to the "brave" and the anthem as a whole. The anthem isn't talking about the 85 guys on the sideline, it is talking about the brave men and women who have defended this country for 200+ years. To equate football players to their sacrifice is disrespectful.
I'm not speaking from some high horse either - I say "Tigers" too - but I'm also not the one who is getting offended by someone taking a knee either. We probably agree that his actual opinion and reasoning is asinine, but people don't seem to have as much issue with the message as they do with the actions, which is a little goofy to me.

so why the outrage?
why get outraged about another man's opinions and meaningless actions?
I seriously don't understand.
