re: How about y'all just STFU about the players and stop disrespecting America

I think that the NFL players should burn a US flag during the national anthem as a peaceful protest.

That's really good little T, now can you tell me if you can see spot run?

Recess and then naps up next. Here's your juice box with your favorite twisty straw.

In America, silently kneeling during the national anthem is not an insult to anyone or anything.

And there is where you are wrong...you think you are not, but you are...

Why dont you do some soul searching to find out why white supremacists and feel the way they do

If you simply aren't willing to do that, then STFU.

So your rebuttal to a perceived free speech issue is to silence the other side? Brilliant!

If they want to kneel, they can kneel. Stop showing your asses by pretending like America means everyone must do whatever you say. You aren't the boss of me and you aren't the boss of the players.

The solution is for you to try to understand why some people feel unsafe and disrespected. If you simply aren't willing to do that, then STFU. In America, silently kneeling during the national anthem is not an insult to anyone or anything.

you missed the part where Colin is a Muslim and will not stand again until America is better in his world view

I understand the black experience is different than mine, but I am tired being told I don't understand and need to keep listening.

I wasn't a part of history, stop treating me as such with this nonesense about police brutality.

I have a video from Miami I could show you that might blow your freaking mind how Police are treated by blacks in the hood. My niece in an officer there!

In America, you have the freedom to be a traitor to America? That's your argument?

By the way he posts, you can tell the T doesn't stand for testicles or testosterone. What a whiny vag.

The NFL players and owners can cuss out the President all they want. They can point out whatever they feel is a flaw in American society and scream to high heaven about it all they want. It is their right to do so. However, to use the playing of the national anthem and/or presentation of the flag as their vehicle of protest is disrespectful. The anthem and flag represents America as a whole. If you disrespect those things, then you are also disrespecting everything and everyone that is also good in America.

There is no law against the players protesting the anthem, but there is also no law that says people can't call them out on it.

NFL players should not only be thankful for their God-given talents and earning their millions, but also that they were born in the United States. If they were born anywhere else, I'd wager a majority of them would be nothing much more than ditch diggers or in prison.

The players can protest all they want on their own time. At game time, however, people want to see football. The fans, who are the ones paying these players salaries, pay good money to be entertained, and not to receive political lectures from the players. People get enough politics with the 24/7 news cycle. Hopefully the fans will prove their point by using the mechanics of capitalism by boycotting the NFL and any other professional sports league that chooses to disrespect their fans.
