Kaepernick's whole protest was stupid anyway since he didn't ask for anything concrete. Just kneeling until what?
cuz you have to kneel to your country, now.
Did there have to be a demand? His kneeling never should have blown up into headline news. A quiet personal protest because he’s unhappy doesn’t need to have an ultimatum
Yeah, the reaction was stupid but it would have at least put pressure on people if he had some kind of concrete demand for police policy as it is it accomplished absolutely zilch but to fire up middle amertica
Epic waste of time basically
It's not like he was out there publicizing it. He was quietly doing his thing until people made a big deal out of it.
it discovered that an alliance with the military was profitable. so now we get fly overs and gigantic flags forced upon us. not only is america patriotic, we're the most patriotic, damnit!
We need some Toby Keith about now dammit
N.F.L. Adds First Amendment to List of Banned Substances
NEW YORK —The National Football League has expanded its list of banned substances to include the First Amendment to the United States Cons ution, the league confirmed on Wednesday.
Although the N.F.L. has long banned substances such as anabolic steroids and growth hormones, the First Amendment is believed to be the only right guaranteed by the Cons ution to be included on the list.
Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, said that, by
adding the First Amendment to the list of banned substances,
the N.F.L was establishing a “policy of zero tolerance on tolerance.”
In order to enforce the ban, Goodell said that players would be tested periodically to determine whether they had used words, gestures, or facial expressions that are strictly prohibited under the new rule.
Speaking at the White House,
Donald Trump applauded the league
for banning the approximately seventeen hundred N.F.L. players from exercising freedom of speech, and
expressed hope that the ban could eventually be expanded to include the other 350M million Americans.

the kneelers were protesting police harassment, slaughter of blacks, had nothing do with flag, military, vets.
the racists co opted the kneelers, refused to recognize the why of the kneeling, by accusing them of being anti-military, anti-vet, anti- ing-flag-fetish
It's quite easy to recognize the protest issues and think it's disrespectful to other things. That's why a protest should pick a relevant stage. There will never be a time when there isn't an issue worth protesting. It'd be moronic to just pile those on irrelevant stages.
Totally agree. A football game isn't an appropriate venue for a patriotic rally.
If you work at McDonalds should you be allowed to protest on the clock or should you be required to adhere to the companies standards and protocols? People forget this is a business and there are rules. You can't make exceptions because of partisanship, that is foolish. So no a football game isn't the appropriate venue for a protest unless it's the fans protesting and Nathan is absolutely correct.
if a cashier at mcdonalds started protesting instead of taking an order, then yeah he should be disciplined. it's getting in the way of his work.
if kaep takes a knee during the anthem, who the cares? now if he takes a knee on 4th down in a tie game... that's different.
Are there mandatory anthem salutes at McDonald's?
The owners and the fans he is openly ting on. Pick a different forum when you're not on the clock. Simple.
