Small Christian SChool on the Southside of Jacksonville florida in an area called Mandarin. It's not far from Wing it, Publix, CVS, Winn-Dixie, McDonalds, BP, Lowes. They are getting a new fieldhouse in a couple of years. The last fundraiser set aside money for that fieldhouse. They have a pretty good baseball team and football team for their size but would get crushed by Bolles.

Now, kindly, piss off.

That's nice. Look. Here is an article about Tebow appearing at a storm shelter. Guess he must have been paid to go there, right?

Regardless, even if you find events he was paid to do, that doesn't in any logical world mean that he doesn't do things for free or for charity in general.

While they may have that right they will also suffer the consequences of those people who feel it is an insult.

I understand some of these people (not the protesters but regular people who protest) feel that they have not had a fair shake in this country. That may be true, however there is no other country on earth that gives everyone the opportunities that are available in America.

Any one can make a great life for themselves in America. If you study hard, dont do drugs, dont become a parent before you can afford to raise that child... Many of these protesters (not players again) are just looking for someone to blame for their bad situation, a situation that they are responsible for. Instead of accepting blame for their bad decisions they blame whitey, the police, rich people, or Nick Saban for their bad fortunes.

I dont care if you are disgruntled, take 5 minutes and honor the country that provides you protection and opportunity. You can spend the rest of your time fighting injustices that exist.

I find it utterly insane that there is so much faux outrage over all of this. For people to make this about the military is stupid. It has absolutely zero to do with the military.

I could understand if you boycotted the NFL for allowing women beaters to play. But a peaceful protest? That seems totally twisted to me.

Everyone has the right to vote with their pocketbooks, and I have no problem with that obviously, but I just can't understand the total outrage over this, and the reach to think that this has anything to do with the military.

Football was really a metaphor for our ideal world -- different backgrounds, talents, political beliefs and histories as one big team with one big goal -- to do well, to win, TOGETHER.

"OneJax is a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote diversity as the foundation for a strong community."

So what exactly do they do to "promote diversity"?

And how does that tangibly help society?

Let me help you out then. People know the players arent protesting the military. There is a widespread movement from the left that has been building for years that asserts that whites are consciously or unconsciously oppressing blacks. It is a false narrative that this country is racist and systematically holding back blacks. This essentially is what the players are protesting.

Protesting during the national anthem is deliberately insulting this country to make a point. Groups like BLM, Antifa, Westboro, White Supremacists, etc do things like this to get attention.

Everyday Americans are sick of it. Its one thing for it to be on the news every day, you can turn that off. Its another thing to use what people view as an escape from politics to protest...especially when that protest is directly attacking them based off of a false narrative.

Hope this helps

So the reason her opinion is being pushed and shared isn't because she is the widow of a prominent veteran? Okay.

Then why do I see hundreds of posts everywhere claiming that they are disrespecting the military with their peaceful protest, if people know this?

This is all well and fine, but this whole thing was powderkegged because of Trump's foolish, childish statements. He only made this situation worse, which is the complete opposite of what the PoTUS is supposed to do.

At the end of the day, people are going fricking insane over a peaceful protest over police accountability. My opinion is that the lack of accountability affects people of all colors, but all of this outrage is just as attention whoring as the protests.
