Colin Kaepernick protests the Anthem

[HoughMade]

A league populated by millionaires, where the lowest paid member makes $465,000, 1%er territory for the lowest paid, that effectively excludes women from not only being players, but coaches and is 70% from one race....interesting SJW pool the NFL has there.

...but then again, doing SJW things to distract people from viewing you as the exclusive and privileged 1% is not exactly new.

I'm not that old, I'm 55. But, I remember when entertainment was just that...an escape. No one truly believed people burst into song for no reason, but musicals were entertaining. Movies were entertaining - the good guy wins the girl and the bad guy goes to jail. Sports was a way to enjoy athletic genius and be A-political and escape the mundane if for only a little while.

Here in Indiana it was Hoosier basketball. Everyone watched IU on black and white tube TV's and held their breath on every shot. We talked about it in school, at the barber shop, at work. Fall was Football time! Democrats and Republicans could enjoy it together and jab at each other over their favorite team or athlete. It was fun, enjoyable, and truly American.

All of that is gone. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is political now. Sunday is opening day of bow season - a ritual for me. But even my solo jaunts into the forest to escape, dive into nature, become the person I am and fair chase whitetailed deer for food and soul searching is tainted by anti-hunting politics and the constant need to defend myself for who and what I am.

It's a different time. Football isn't football anymore. Except Sunday at 5pm my fiancé's boy, who's 7, played a K-2 game at the new Eastern Green field. For them, football is still football. A 6 year old K, #22, figured out angles and made tackle after tackle in the opponents backfield. It was a beautiful thing and for an hour and a half I enjoyed football again. I felt young #22's enthusiasm. He's not my fiancé's son, and I'd never seen him before, but I sure loved the fact he was enjoying the greatest game ever invented...and I was glad to be on the sideline cheering him on. He didn't want to make a statement, talk politics or renegotiate his salary, he just wanted to make a tackle for his team. "That's a linebacker" I whispered...and someone I don't know, stood beside me, smiled and said, "Yep".

+1000

I spent the entire weekend doing what this forum is actually about....being an Indiana Gun Owner. I packed up about 3/4ths of my gear, ample ammo, a cooler full of water and some snacks. Drove 3 hours one way to spend time with friends and running our guns. Politics was a topic off and on all day.
Sunday I packed out a bit lighter gathered up my son and rolled just a bit over an hour to meet up with some Ingo folks and repeat. Same deal. Gun fire and politics.
I got home and saw the home team taking a knee. We are now done with the home team.

I am sick to ****ing death of politics. I am sick to ****ing death of people with no real world problems disrupting my real world.

Something seems fishy about this whole deal.Has the NFL figured a way after deliberate future profit losses to renegotiate the inflated player contracts?Is the media pumping this to create a "look,a squirrel" moment to hide something else? Is Goodell a Russian double agent? Is Kaps Che shirt made of cotton?Why did I see a Bears hat lying on the side of 31, north of Indy last night? What is next?

Protests anthem, yet many are in stadiums built with government funds.

Where ? Their elected official's office or get a permit and have an official protest .

Inoculation is ridiculous ? Why , because they are sick of seeing grown folks act like petulant children ? Because some sjw idiots choose to involve them (public) in something that doesn't involve them .

Keep "sticking it in their face " is a **** poor way to communicate the problems they're having . It makes people turn off and not care at all .

People who believe like you .

If the majority ( public ) doesn't / hasn't been rallying around your cause after months of publicly rioting , blathering and disrupting the peace then that should tell everyone with at least two brain cells that the majority doesn't care about their cause .

It always seems to come back to personal responsibility which these sjw turds don't seem to understand .

The concepts are few and simple ,

1. Don't act like idiot in public BUT IF YOU DO , be prepared to accept RESPONSIBILITY for your actions .

2. Don't fight the cops on the side of the road , that's what lawyers are for .

3. Treat folks like you want to be treated .

If you're having a problem , check # 1 to see if you're the problem .

But no , throwing a damned fit and disrupting folks lives is way easier than taking responsibility for themselves and the problems THEIR OWN behavior created .

Did this come from a burning bush? Sounds like 3-1/2 Commandments to live by, and the world would be a better place? Just sayin'!

I disagree. If you feel so strongly about the issue "DON'T VOTE." You don't vote and hope that your side wins, and then if they don't, do what you want anyways. Those are the worst types of people, because if their side had won, they expected everyone to abide by the results.
For clarity: I don't know if the West Point guy did this.

Uhhh, when did we switch and start talking about the Democrats

My son is in his 7th and final year of Pop Warner football and I love watching them boys play their hearts out week after week (well most of them) getting better every game, and it's not because they get payed, it's for the love of the game.

Are we still talking about president's of the United States, and what their office should be above?

Well, I can only speak for myself. I'm wondering if you evinced similar disapproval when another president told many Americans, who had seen the country they loved and the life they cherished sold down the river, that they were 'bitter clingers'

Funny how the expectation of a 'President for all the people' seems to be a one way street

 

[d.kaufman]

For me, this is the most important reason to respect and honor our Flag!

O'rly, lol?

I agree. It is our obligation to make sure each and everyone know that their loved ones died for something we ALL respect.

Unfortunately, unless it interrupts their FB, twitter, instagram, etc. few care how they got to be here in what is still the greatest country on earth, despite the efforts of the left to destroy it! I mean make it the socialist utopia they so dream of!

With Great Sadness, I Did Not Watch the National Football League on Sunday

 

[Dirtebiker]

Ok maybe I missed it, when did Kap wear a Che t-shirt?

I remember that and I don't follow the NFL. Oops, maybe not.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I remember that and I don't follow the NFL.

That's right up there with cheering Muslims in NY. lol.
