From this:

To this:

Again, what exactly is the fundamental and concrete societal change that has occurred in less than a year, especially for these players, that makes immediately imperative such a radical departure from norms that were de rigueur in the last SB -much even two weeks ago?

One was an official NFL production that the Pentagon paid for and the other was individual players expressing their individual political views?

It really is mind boggling.


Their statement regarding the President's statement was laughable.


They yeah about unity and all that. If we all can't agree to support our nation WTF are we doing?

I'm less okay with this:

Focusing on the players' behaviors here and driving toward what is motivating them or, perhaps, how their motivations/behaviors are being manipulated...

Nope. I'm enjoying the melt. Yesterday was amazing. No reason not to keep it going.

It was coming.
Just like the NBA years back. It took the players going into the stands fighting with the fans to give it a black eye. You knew you were watching a bunch of disrespectful punks after that.

These are extremely disrespectful:

§176. Respect for flag

quote:

(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.


I'm offended the NFL was doing this

I love our country and our flag. That's why I see no reason to cry because ignorant football players won't goose step along. One of the great things about this country is that they aren't required to do that.

Don't be a pussy. I spent a lot of time in a lot of shitty places so those millionaire crybabies could take a knee if they wanted to take a knee. My agreement or disagreement with their actions has nothing to do with my support for them being able to do it.

Yeah, I said yesterday that it was easily top five since I've been here. I wish I was around for the Obama elections. Probably one of the few things that could rival it.

They are violating NFL rules without consequence. The same NFL that wouldn't let them put bible passages on their tape or honor fallen Dallas police officers.

It's not about individuals freely expressing themselves. Its about the NFL and their double standards in the face of overt disrespect of our flag.
