She's never been the sharpest tool in the shed. She's actually a pretty terrible journalist in every respect. She's basically made her name entirely on being a black woman and talking about race whenever possible.

It's subjective. But the precedent is that this type of behavior is considered an afront to the nation. The people doing this are attention whores who are to egomaniacal to be bothered with time and place.

That would be disrespecting the flag. Attacking it even. Kneeling silently isn't doing either. Only fucking morons think it is.

Re: ESPN anchor Jemele Hill suspended-from-network-for-two-weeks
Studies show that flags don't know if you're kneeling or not and cannot feel respect.
What you are objecting to is the refusal to participate in ceremonial patriotism. People are refusing to stand because they are expected and required to stand. "Disrespecting the flag" is idiot code.

Except they, of their own free will, signed an agreement with a franchise where they are required every game to be subjected to the national anthem. Why doesn't the protest happen during the signing?
Imagine, in your job at an office somewhere, the national anthem is played and you take a knee in front of the CEO, on national television because some dignitary is visiting your office. Would it be against your rights to terminate your employment?
CK said he'd stand for it if he could get signed again. His GF denies it but them's the rumors.

Because the President of the United States didn't suggest they should be fired for disrespecting signing day.
And because they're not interested in what you deem to be an appropriate time to make a statement.

Of course it had nothing to do with getting paid first then protesting what they knew they were signing up for after the fact.
Again, like protesting a war after joining the military voluntarily.

Attack is your word. I called it an afront to the nation, which it is.
Only fucking moron snowflakes think that.

There is no requirement to forego your living in order to demonstrate.

Again, like protesting a war after joining the military voluntarily.
Nothing wrong with that either.

:lol of course because a private business is exactly the same as walking around in public. You do realize your work agreement means you don't cast a negative light on your employer, right? Ask Jemele Hill.
You're the one who brought up the random office scenario, smarty. If my employer had reason to believe I would be uncomfortable participating in a ceremonial display of patriotism, and that my discomfort could cause an incident that would paint the company in a bad light, they'd excuse me from the ceremony. I can't imagine working anywhere where that wouldn't be the case. Especially if this was something that happened every week.
Anyway, where in your fictional scenario do we get to the part where the President repeatedly says that I should be fired and the VP shows up at my office for a pre-planned exit five minutes later? Or are those things not as relevant as flags and millionaire n!ggers?
