Support.

I sent an email telling Danner I won't be buying their Made in America boots anymore because they're made in Portland and I don't want my money indirectly assisting that city.

I am a retired soldier and I have nothing better to do today than at least vote with my dollar.

Only thing I can do as a normal citizen is withhold my time and money, and vote. Not that I think that'll really impact anything at this point, but I'll sleep better knowing I don't give my hard earned money to any of these organizations. As far as the NFL, I didn't watch, I won't watch and I submitted a survey found below:

Navy Seal advises Kap to kneel during the National Anthem. Nobody cares about his service.

Marine takes your side...."let's hear this guy out."

What hypocrisy? Link to someone saying they don’t care about the seals service or stfu.

I didn’t ask you anyway. But you two would make a great couple.

Nope. But I at least want to acknowledge the facts. The tradition is to stand for the NA. He sat. He eventually consulted military guys who advised him it was more respectful to kneel than just sit. So he started kneeling. That's it. I still don't understand the level of butthurt. So some a-hole kneels. Next. That doesn't even register in my world. But I guess snowflake world is perpetually struggling to deal with their daily offendedness.

Do you think the BLM is a constructive movement or a destructive movement? Reason I ask is because the only thing I heard Kaepernick do that was reasonable was ask a marine his opinion, and at that, I wonder how many marines he asked until he got the answer he wanted.

His actions entirely after that, are purely destructive.

I'm also not aware if he even tried to understand the police side of the equation. Did he do any ride-alongs to understand what the police go through? Did he take an interest to train along side police to understand what training existed and provide constructive input on where he thought they could improve?

If racial injustice is so prevalent, why is it that so many of these martyrs are truly pieces of shite. Very few if any were doing anything remotely right. Why can they not make their cause about the true racial injustices where police just target based on race. I'll give you a hint. It's because it doesn't exist anywhere near as often as the media has you believing. Crime happens in poverty struck areas. White and black. The black areas have disrespect for law ingrained in their head from the day they're born. Whites CAN have the same disrespect, but other whites don't make apologies for the pieces of shite in their race. You either obey the law, or you don't.

Sigh!

Army Special Forces

Advised Kap that kneeling would be less disrespectful than sitting

Trying to get on an NFL team, so not some rando Vet that Kap reached out to.

Otherwise, sure, you got it.

Nope, 1 single military guy, who was trying to make an NFL team, reached out to him.

I'd say its grown to more than 1 a-hole kneeling. Wouldn't you say?
