Trigger Warning

The point is not how they feel. The point is in how the customers feel. They are more then able to support and promote the social injustice they feel so strongly about in a manner that a) works and b) is positive and many would agree with that. I know I would. But as a Veteran I don't like the knee to the flag nor anthem. So I guess they have their feelings and I have mine. And no I'm not triggered but I don't want politics in any of my entertainment venues. That includes sports and music and shows.
Jerry Jones will do anything for a buck, look for BLM merch with cowboys logo. Hope this backfires and he goes broke, this dud has done nothing since firing Jimmy.
Kneeling during the national anthem took something that was pure and unified the country away and divided the country by people saying if you don’t like us kneeling than you’re being divisive. The national anthem was such a proud patriotic moment for everyone regardless of the passion in a rivalry but now the kneelers are justifying cities being turned up side down and saying screw you america if you don’t like my middle finger than your a racist.
Translation: There is absolutely nothing I can do about players kneeling. Since if I get rid of them.. they will just go to a different team. Leaving me with few African American players...so we will lose.
I have spoken with many friends and if the rest of the USA is 30% like us they will regret kneeling. None of us are watching baseball, hockey, nba (never did anyway). I watch fishing and golf now. NFL tbd later. Ive said before and ill restate. Miami Hurricanes kneel and i see it during the anthem I will be done for good.
Get ready to leave then because they will kneel at some point.
Im ready. I have too much respect for the ones that died for our freedom to support that.
Listen...the purpose on a Protest is to bring the necessary attention to a topic. Not make you comfortable enough to watch football. Either watch or don't. That doesn't matter to anyone but you.
So I am suppose to pay money to watch football and witness a protest. I would boo the hell out of a move like that then leave.
The players could easily come up with another form of bringing attention to their agenda without offending thousands.......
How about raise a fist before kick off or take a knee before the first snap?? Anything that doesn’t have something to do with the flag or anthem that thousands have died defending.
Really not that hard.

They died so that the constitution could be upheld. Even if you dont agree with it.
Protest's do NOT involve planed Looting, Protests do NOT set out to Murder, Loot, Burn, and Attack Authority. Do you really believe the every day American doesn't see the Attacks on the Country, its History, it's Flag, it's Uniform, and our Hero's ? Can you or anyone be That Blind ? Nope, But they, sure as rain, can be That Stupid, you'll find out in November How Much. Enjoy your Hate Bro
I never said you are supposed to do anything. Either watch it or don't watch it. It won't matter. Acting you like are concerned about a knee is silly. Just wait until the game starts if a knee bothers you that much. It's a peaceful protest. That is as American as apple pie. This country originated on a far less peaceful one. I am not here to tell people what to believe. The KKK can protest before games for all I care. It won't stop me from watching. They can believe whatever they want. This is America. I am not supposed to agree with everything.

Wow them are alot of big words. Well I do care for how i believe and I have and always will stand up for what I believe.
It didn't take a Trump to make me feel this way. It took parents and upbringing in a small town in Ohio where the pledge of allegiance was done every morning to start the school day. It was done in a church on Sundays with your family. I realize this is all gone now but it is not gone for me.
Again!!! This could be the gazillionth time. You can feel any way you want to feel. SO CAN THE REST OF US! What is it you don't understand about this most basic concept. Everyone in America isn't supposed to agree. That's why we call it America. Land of the free. If you can't deal with people disagreeing with you this isn't the place for you.
I absolutely understand that. That is why i get up and leave and you stay. I have no problem with that whatsoever.
