Nor, thankfully, do the players who engage in on-field antics represent the all the NFL players. The difference is that fans who participate in singing the anthem don't make themselves look foolish. The players behavior during the anthem...not so much.

Do you have any ideas of your own?

Heh. :rolleyes: You and your snivelin' conservative snowflake friends are a laugh, Mikey.

Pbbbbbbbtt. :D

Well, yes. How about "Overflowing well of rotten slime," or "Dismal degenerate denizen of domain of disordered digital discourse." But I am happy to acknowledge you when you express things with such aptly-targeted directness, you lying sack of shit.

The unfortunate thing is that the point of the protests is getting lost in the patriotic smokescreen.
They are probably a better response than vigilante retaliation against the LEOs that abuse their authority and those that condone and excuse such acts and actors. Mebbe that direct approach would be more appropriate than disturbing the slumber of those unaffected that couldn't care less.

I wonder as whell is asking certain people to respect the flag, if he will also ask certain others to respect the constitution. Flag is after all just a symbol, the constitution OTOH is a road map to freedom.

In fact, that's been a pretty consistent theme of mine here. Both sides of the aisle in DC often treat the Constitution more like an obstacle than a guide.

Don, Don, Don. You poor, angry, misguided little man. You have my sympathy.

Your sympathy? I see no reason to think you have any capacity to offer honest human feeling to anyone. I doubt that your dog likes you, if you have one.

First, you suggested that the players were misbehaving employees, then you stated that Trump was simply saying what the fans were thinking, and then you defended his call for the players to be fired. So you were parroting and defending. Now you have denied the evidence that exists on this very thread. Your reputation on this forum for dishonesty remains intact.
