    She lost because she's terrible. And she won the primary because black people didn't want to vote for a white man so the vote for corruption.

    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. , 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.

    This is why it's called civil disobedience. This is real stuff for a lot of people. Not some flippant idea.

    Just sayin'.

    Mainstream media pushing superdelegates long before relevant to mislead the public also helped. I talked to discouraged voters on the phone who felt there was no point voting for Bernie because she already had all the SD votes. She literally had mainstream media campaigning for her.

    that is true but my main point it was not the color of skin
    the democrats told everyone it was her turn that is why Bernie is the only one that ran against her

    That would be part of the CBA and sponsorship agreements.

    It's not a crime.

    Thanks Mark. Lol, is that why you asked me if I stood at home or saluted? I thought I was having a discussion with someone who had an original thought.

    Not my name, but there's no reason to think the protesters aren't serious.

    No one has lost money except the players. That is the real world.

    They're being nice since Sunday Ticket is often the only reason people have DirecTV in the first place. It's good retention policy.

    How many people demanded their money back?

    Once again, Pop and the Spurs have been ignored.

    Pop has always been critical of Trump even before Kerr but he's not on the cover. https://twitter.com/SInow/status/912617770734338048

    If this continued to the point of affecting how much money they could make every one of those athletes/coaches/owners would stfu and stand for the anthem like good little boys. They aren't that dumb though, won't be long they'll all be saying they made their point and go back to standing. And none of these sports reporters will ask them if racism still exists why are you backing down.

    Only question now is will Trump let them do that or is going to tweet something that makes them look like they are surrendering to him and back them into a corner. Trump holds all the cards and these fools don't even know it.

    Why is Trump bothering with any of this and why do you think it's important to pimp his role?>

    How is it a political issue? I see no government policy involved unless we're saying some are in favor of disproportionate police violence.
