Pop will always speak his mind. Whatever your political affiliation is, if you can't respect that, then you are being a hater.

There are way too many fake ass people in America but pop darn sure isn't one of them.

he had no right to start talking about what he did. He was not even asked. He was to talk about the spurs. If he wanted to talk about his political views he could call cnn or fox and he would be granted an interview.

But Pop was a Hillary Pom Pom waiver and she's the most corrupt person in politics and a pandering liar and was such a bad candidate she lost to Trump...that speaks volumes.

Go ahead and bash Trump all you want but you can miss me about Hillary being "the better choice"...

I'm shocked that NOBODY in the media has had the balls to bring up the point or ask the question..Why did Kapernick come out around March/May and say HE WOULD STAND FOR THE ANTHEM..

Why would he say that? I don't think he said it because he was satisfied with "change" occurring..

He knew the distraction/back lash he was getting or would get if he continued to kneel and it would jeopardize his chances of getting signed. He saw what was coming...that's a fake move on his part.

And so now that he still hasn't been signed.. the narrative has changed from oppression from police to institutional racism..and the media doesn't even realize they're not helping his case. Or maybe they don't care cause they're the fucking media and CONTROVERSY SELLS.

Of course not. The idea of taking the time for the national anthem to advocate for a cause is absurd. A cause that has been on a massive decline for decades on top of that. But it's popular now and they think any backlash is racist resistance. No if you hijack the platform for a custom of any culture to advocate for x you'll get backlash. If they don't want to participate though they should pressure their team to get rid of it.

Hijack the platform for x and start pushing y is a recipe to piss people off. That applies to virtually everyone the difference only being if you care about platform x.

They don't even mind doing it though it's just popular. There has been an always will be issues to advocate for. They just chose an issue on the decline for decades already. Compared to issues that are increasing like income inequality or childhood poverty. No, matter the issue though many don't want it pushed. For instance the nfl month long pink shit.

Pop's political and racial views are a jumbled mess. What the hell is he talking about? White people need to be made to feel uncomfortable? What the hell is that? He's white. I'm uncomfortable with his inability to read a race theory book and articulate his point. He thinks everything is self evident because he says it. And he refers to the latest literature. What the hell os that? What literature? What are you reading and how do you know it's right or not just some whacked out race theorists (a lot of those guys are as racist as the white people they hate).

I'm all for an intelligent discussion on race. But Pop doesn't have one. There are strong elements of racism in our society, but there are ptrobably more instances where racism is used as an excuse or is invokes recklessly. But this whole flag thing didn't start a race discussion, it started a discussion on respecting the flag. And our country has demonstrated that you can't have a race discussion without being labeled a racist no matter which side of the issue you are on.

Does it really matter if he stands, crawl, shuffle etc....? Killing of any group of people in America unjustly still is the point and forever will be. Quick question, what have you done for your country lately?

I think 95% of American agree with the reason they're protesting. I'm all for justice and equality...

They are just protesting in a disrespectful/controversial manner which takes away from their protest. Well since people don't agree with their way of protesting doesn't mean they don't stand for the cause...

But y'all can miss me on this institutional racism bs saying Kap isn't getting a job due to him being black or the cause of protest isn't valid. It's strictly do to the fact he sucks and was irrelevant before he started this and that FANS who pay the bills find it offensive (white or black). They're standing for a proper fight but using the wrong vehicle to drive their message..

IMO what the Cowboys did last night was perfect....but you've got racist talking heads like Shannon Sharpe or Jemille Hill who think it's hogwash what the Cowboys did..and just shows their ignorance on what message the Cowboys tried to make.

It's true that Trump hasn't really done anything he promised. He's mostly just trolled people, but he's also dividing this country more than it's been in a long time. Starting a war with black athletes fired up his base, but it's made everyone take sides and has only entrenched people. I don't know that there is a way for BLM and police unions to come together, but it will not happen under Trump. He benefits politically with those divides.

Im no Democrat, but I can't see how he has improved anything. Sure these liberals are a bit rediculous with the sky is falling fear, but I'm yet to find something redeeming in Trump. I just can't like anything about the guy.

Did everything I could in the primary for Bernie but she cheated, lied, and insulted throughout the campaign. I was told my vote didn't matter by he supporters. Oh and it was her lazy campaigning that cost her the election. She simply didn't put in the work.

She literally had everything handed to her on a silver platter - no Biden in primary with his son's death, only opponent being a socialist (who beat her in a bunch of states!) but with the deck stacked totally in her favor with the superdelegates, and then facing one of the worst candidates a major party had ever nominated in terms of electability with a capped ceiling. And she somehow blew it, and blamed everyone else besides herself for it.

It's like the Thunderefs losing to the Nets in a series despite playing 8 on 5 and being spotted a 3-0 series lead. And then KD blaming the ballboy, athletic trainer, coach and fans before heading to Golden State and writing a book.

It's true that Trump hasn't really done anything he promised. He's mostly just trolled people, but he's also dividing this country more than it's been in a long time. Starting a war with black athletes fired up his base, but it's made everyone take sides and has only entrenched people. I don't know that there is a way for BLM and police unions to come together, but it will not happen under Trump. He benefits politically with those divides.

Im no Democrat, but I can't see how he has improved anything. Sure these liberals are a bit rediculous with the sky is falling fear, but I'm yet to find something redeeming in Trump. I just can't like anything about the guy.
Seriously? Cops were being killed in Dallas under Obama. Hands up don't shoot, Black Lives Matter, Ferguson Missouri burning to the ground...

What has Trump done, call multimillionaire cry-baby athletes sons of bitches? Oh the separation!

Celebrity and rich privilege is a much larger issue than white privilege, tbh. Imagine if the athletes cared enough to protest en masse last year and not leave Kap on an island. Imagine if they felt this way to deal with this issue, which was a huge issue, during the Obama administration instead of waiting for it to be en vogue to smash on the clown in charge now.

It's so, so media-washed for image and pandering. Would LOVE to be wrong and wish this was altruistic instead of in response to a lousy President calling them SoBs. I just cant buy into the hokiness of it all. I wish we saw more protesting and activism in the areas where we need them. And we need to have the open conversation about black on black violence, the lack of opportunity in black communities and the lack of activism directly in those communities and why they were sooooooo neglected under the last Administration moreso than the fucking criminal Bush administration.

Just crazy that it takes multimillionaire meatheads responding to a billionaire meathead calling them Sons of Bitches to shine a light on social injustice, yet no real solutions are proposed, per par, and the message being sent is doing the exact opposite. Sad, yet telling of our society. Fucking sad when Jerry fucking Jones is the classiest and most mature of the lot.

I just don't buy any of it, it's just spoiled millionaires responding to the biggest, easiest, petty target.

What Trump said about calling people SOB was unpresidential and straight up wrong...

But Pop was a Hillary Pom Pom waiver and she's the most corrupt person in politics and a pandering liar and was such a bad candidate she lost to Trump...that speaks volumes.

Go ahead and bash Trump all you want but you can miss me about Hillary being "the better choice"...




Bill Burr said it best about the racist propaganda floating around. This is the same country that voted for a black president for TWO terms... but once this white lady runs for POTUS the racist come out the woodworks.

Bernie sanders was the best choice. Whether someone likes him or not, That dude is as genuine as it comes. He wasn't a corporate whore who operated pursuant to the interests of greed aot corporate influence.

Black people fucked that up. They stereotypically hated him cause he was an old white guy I reckon. Still can't understand. Black folks dropped the ball on this one. They deserve the ultimate blame why trump slid into the fucking whitehouse.

Its actually pretty respectful. We used to do that in front of kings

The whole argument is fucking retarded
Agreed. Considering the same assholes are drinking beer on their couch when the anthem comes on to begin with.

Wah, wah, wah. You shouldn't protest at work, they should be fired because I would be if I protested, etc. Well I never had to stand up for the anthem before my shift either fuck sticks.

I am not sure where we went wrong in thinking a piece of cloth is more meaningful than the citizens who live under it or why some people are such pussies about others exercising the exact freedoms it is supposed to represent.

I would not have chose to kneel but I also have no issues with those who do.

Oppression of African-Americans, police brutality, and a call for equality can all essentially be boiled down to one point.

Whiteness as a construct?!? Lmfao whiteness is a cultural identity that for the last few hundred years has given the world its greatest advances in education,science,technology etc.You name it white folks invented it.
Like any of you have lived or experienced life in a shitty MENA country where you have to walk 5 miles plus just to get to school if there even is one,no doctors,societies riven with ethnic and tribal hatred.Countries where you have to bribe anyone in govt. to do the littlest goddamned thing.
Its called CIVIL SOCIETY and we( Western whites) have thrown of the shackles of patrimony, feudalism, tribalism etc at great cost and bloodshed to ourselves to achieve it

Sure the rest of the non educatedasses would like us to give up what we have but that's just a power construct,every group wants it but few have the education and willingness to maintain it.

There's a reason everyone wants to come to the Western world,its the best most highly educated place to live bar none.White people made it,get over it and used to it.

Or you can always go back to bumfuck nowhere and be a subsistence farmer,fishermen or market trader, your choice but that would require you to take responsibility for yourself instead of blaming Whitey for everything.

Fun fact,the KKK in its reconstruction heyday in total killed about the same amount of blacks in 60 years that black people kill themselves(guns,drugs,robbery etc.) In ONE YEAR!!! Pathetic and you wonder why people don't take BLM seriously,its because black people don't even value their own lives sadly.And don't blame whitey,I've lived in American inner cities and lived first hand the awful cannibalization these communities commit.

The one thing that is certain is that social media has created an impulsively reactionary society in which people do not apply a single bit of thought or logic before they spout off numerous comments.

Change will never be found in the extreme right or exreme left, as they will never budge. Change will come from people of differing viewpoints who are not afraid to sit, listen, and process information from the opposing side.

All the blow hards do is continue to cause more stress to an already tenuous situation.

Pop had the right to make his comments, as did Richard Petty. If Petty were to fire a member of his team due to his reasoning, the ACLU would then have the justifiable right to seek a lawsuit against him.

Protest is a protected right, and just because people may protest in a manner the majority thinks is wrong, does not make the protest illegal, no matter how unpopular we deem the cause or method of protest to be. As long as it is peaceful it is legal.

Smh, I guess we need to regress back to May 4th 1970 Kent State University for some people to figure it out, although i highly doubt they would even understand after that.

In an effort to bring about awareness to breast cancer, the NFL teamed up with American Cancer Society and decided to wear Pink colored uniform accessories. It was a simple AND effective way to send an important message. It's not divisive, doesn't take away from the game or invite negative feelings and raises money for a good cause.

I was referring to Kaepernick's initial gesture / comments of sitting down during the anthem. Was I personally offended? No - and I'm an Army brat. My dad served in the military for 35 years. I knew he fucked up the moment he did it. No matter what his intention or cause was. He automatically drew negative attention for his choice. Whenever someone challenges the ideals of the flag or nationalism, they are going to run up against opposition. No if's, and's or but's about it. Done deal. There are some things that invite conflict and messing with American nationalism is one of them.

After the media picked up on him sitting during the anthem the first time, Kaepernick admitted it wasn't any sort of plan to bring awareness to the plight of the oppressed. It was a reaction to their plight. A defiance. A big middle finger to the United States, the anthem and to the flag. That was strike two.

He understood pretty quickly that his actions were taken negatively, pissed off some his teammates and drew attention to himself. After receiving flack, he quickly went into PR correction mode and started to talk about "bringing awareness". He had to explain himself and his intentions to his own teammates.

Strike 3? Kaepernick wore a pair of socks depicting policemen as pigs. Not too long after that, he wore a t-shirt with Fidel Castro and Malcom X on it. So, you have a guy in full militant mode now. Anti-police, pro-communist dictator, trying to bring awareness to his cause. He failed on so many levels its comical. If anyone was divisive it was him. He's the poster boy, protagonist of everything we are seeing now. Some people shut him and whatever message he was trying to send down. They aren't listening.

That brings us to Trump. An ego-maniacal narcissist who feeds on the emotions of our country's least common denominators. Whenever he gets criticism or heat, he goes back to doing what he knows best. Bullshit propaganda. He's not winning over anyone new, he's just feeling better about himself by seeing crowds cheer for him. Its nothing but cheap, empty rhetoric.

Ok fine that's why I brought up about gay pride and confederate..it's hypocrisy. The flag does have meaning and that's why people are offended..

I was referring to Kaepernick's initial gesture / comments of sitting down during the anthem. Was I personally offended? No - and I'm an Army brat. My dad served in the military for 35 years. I knew he fucked up the moment he did it. No matter what his intention or cause was. He automatically drew negative attention for his choice. Whenever someone challenges the ideals of the flag or nationalism, they are going to run up against opposition. No if's, and's or but's about it. Done deal. There are some things that invite conflict and messing with American nationalism is one of them.

After the media picked up on him sitting during the anthem the first time, Kaepernick admitted it wasn't any sort of plan to bring awareness to the plight of the oppressed. It was a reaction to their plight. A defiance. A big middle finger to the United States, the anthem and to the flag. That was strike two.

He understood pretty quickly that his actions were taken negatively, pissed off some his teammates and drew attention to himself. After receiving flack, he quickly went into PR correction mode and started to talk about "bringing awareness". He had to explain himself and his intentions to his own teammates.

Strike 3? Kaepernick wore a pair of socks depicting policemen as pigs. Not too long after that, he wore a t-shirt with Fidel Castro and Malcom X on it. So, you have a guy in full militant mode now. Anti-police, pro-communist dictator, trying to bring awareness to his cause. He failed on so many levels its comical. If anyone was divisive it was him. He's the poster boy, protagonist of everything we are seeing now. Some people shut him and whatever message he was trying to send down. They aren't listening.

That brings us to Trump. An ego-maniacal narcissist who feeds on the emotions of our country's least common denominators. Whenever he gets criticism or heat, he goes back to doing what he knows best. Bullshit propaganda. He's not winning over anyone new, he's just feeling better about himself by seeing crowds cheer for him. Its nothing but cheap, empty rhetoric.

Hits nail on head...

"fantasy land of athletic muscle bound men"? You're in the wrong forum shiny lips. I'm sure you can find a safe-place on the interwebs to discuss your repressed sexual desires. Don't bring that shit into a discussion of anthem & flag protesting.


Take your hand out of your pants for a second and observe how grown-ups opine -

In an effort to bring about awareness to breast cancer, the NFL teamed up with American Cancer Society and decided to wear Pink colored uniform accessories. It was a simple AND effective way to send an important message. It's not divisive, doesn't take away from the game or invite negative feelings and raises money for a good cause. Compare that movement to what is going on now.

How difficult would it have been to rally the Players association in to doing something similar?Yeah, the NFL and its players were very sensitive not to offend their pro-cancer fans.

Eventually, the owners will not want to lose the offended customers, so they order it stopped, and the Players will do it b/c they value their contracts more than the BLM movement and most didn't kneel or care to kneel anyway and only reacted out of peer pressure and Trump unnecessarily dividing the country over the NFL.
Trump did that on purpose imo

Do you stand and salute at home when the anthem comes on?

Salute? First of all, I'm not in the military. Secondly, there is no official protocol when citizens are at home and hear the National Anthem. Hell, TV networks rarely even showed the anthem until all the nonsense started.

Do you realize there is a US Flag Code which stipulates official protocol during the playing of the National Anthem and displaying of the Flag?

US Flag Code 171 states:

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.

Do you honor this code when in attendance of events where the National Anthem is played?

Base or Post movie theaters used to play the anthem before a movie would start. I used to stand with hand over heart at that time. I also remember lifeguards blowing their whistles at 5:30 pm and being asked to get out of the swimming pool at the military officer's club. Patrons would face the direction of the Post flag (which was not visible) and stand with hand over heart as the anthem was played. Cars on base used to stop driving and pull to the side until the anthem was over. People who were walking would stop and do the same. I think a cannon would go off before and after so people would know when to stop or carry on.

This stuff is real for a lot of people. Not some flippant idea.

She went to the stage with Lebron and J.R. ¨drive me home¨ Smith, like any of those 2 could tell people how to vote, specially a murderer.

Pops thought Trump was such a big threat to the USA that he chose to wear the VOTE FOR PEDRO shirt, you know a 67 year old with military studies.
And now Pops complains like a big fat old lady and lots of idiots agree with him, liberals always find a moment to complain and if there is not a moment they will make one by force, and thats how you got this national anthem stupidity.
