You say convenient, I say logical and not stupid.

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.

If you're a contrarian, argumentative person, or play one on the internet, maybe.

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.


They aren't the same, at all.

Kap converted to nation of islam and will no longer show respect by standing for the national anthem, but says it's because black lives matter.

Eric Reid - following the facade.

so why the outrage?

why get outraged about another man's opinions and meaningless actions?


Because I can't watch or listen to sports coverage without hearing about this stupidity. It's the start of football and I have to hear about this misguided bullshite all day to get to any semblance of actual sports talk.

Now here we agree, but if everyone disregarded it, it would go away. Unfortunately there are quite a few that want to vent on both sides and it is nauseating.

well this brings up another question for another thread...but

does the media report what they deem newsworthy, or do they report what gets the most attention from its viewers?

if people were not outraged by this, the media wouldn't care

ESPN seems to only care about making Kaep look like MLK. The only dissenting opinion I heard was Finebaum and he was made to apologize the next day.

It's the beginning of football. No one is not watching now.

It would go away if they stopped giving it this much attention. ESPN won't do that though.

I think all those over paid frickin morons should sit down. Show the world just how dumb jocks really are.

Maybe a few quarterbacks could stand.

Well, normally SJW's are liberal people who get outraged over nonsensical things that don't personally effect them.

That's why I prefaced the term with "Conservative". Don't pretend that the Right doesn't have their pet issues that they like to get all offended about.

I already knew what your post would say before I saw it. You need new material. Perhaps you'd like to try to troll the Saints Board again.

It still seems you don't understand what social issues are.

Seeing as how I can't turn on the news without hearing about this issue... I disagree.
