At the end of the day, taking a knee is not conveying the message that was intended and is actually causing the opposite effect. Time to change the message to one that is agreeable so we can get back to the issue at hand which is brutality by police, and protecting the public. Otherwise, it is just a pissing contest where mostly everyone forgets the original issue.
he risked his career to try and bring attention to social issues - namely police misconduct against people of color
he brought attention but the trump racist cult of course got triggered when trump gaslit the country by falsely making the issue about disrespecting the flag
the guy that stood on a podium and pledged allegiance to Russia questioned black citizens patriotism
and your racism caused you to follow and support the traitor
and denounce the black American patriot
truth
the "hype squad" isn't a liberal move. It's a money move. Cheerleaders are ticking harassment lawsuit bombs and not worth the trouble.
Not to mention the whole redskins cheerleaders taken to central America, passports confiscated, and season ticketholders were basically allowed to grope them debacle....
Lol short memory cuckolds offended by Kap.
He first sat during the anthem, a soldier called him out for it and suggested he should kneel instead. Then he kneeled, and all of a sudden it’s anti patriotic? That’s disrespecting the flag? Kneeling is the ultimate show of respect TBH. Get your head out of your bum if you feel that’s disrespecting to the flag and or the country. If you don’t like someone shoving in your face a nasty issue that affects our beloved country, at least be humble enough to keep it shut. Freedom of speech is the base of democracy.
Yeah, as protests go it's difficult to think of a more respectful one than kneeling.
*cant make second reads*
*no touch on any passes*
*figured out like every other NFL gimmick*
....
*NFL monies running out*
.....
*kneels*
*gets on twitter*
WHY WONT ANYBODY GIVE ME A JOB
OMG AN AGGIE THINKS KP IS TRASH how are you gonna face the Corps in college station with such a unique and non-aggie-centric point of view
Man that really sucks. I feel for ya. Have you tried getting over it?
If there's one thing I've learned, people tend to use the term "divisive" when they don't agree with an issue to make it sound less cut and dry.
Pop is stating his opinion and he's right and has a right too, in my opinion. I don't think he'll turn may people off to team USA basketball because of it tbh.
That's your opinion and you're en led to voice it, just like Pop when he answered the question the reporter asked
Agreed, tbh. Not to mention lawsuits relating to wages and how they get screwed there.
I forgot about that, that's sketchy as . Ticket holders were also allowed to attend photo shoots where they were required to be topless.
you mean that 1st ballot HOF backup to the backup to the backup QB?
truth.
It's sort of amazing how conservatives can get so offended by people saying things they don't like or not believing in the same things they do. Many don't realize that most people from marginalized groups had to put up with that for years and to an extent still put up with it. Watching other shows or movies or read older books, and you an almost geneous cast of WASP characters. Having racist and otherwise bigoted celebrities being promoted as the "Everyman". Fighting and dying for a country that wouldn't give you the right to vote or marry who you want. That's what it really means to have to deal with divisive , not hearing someone say something you don't agree with.
It's divisive to tell someone they're one gender when they don't feel that way. It's divisive to tell someone that they should be worried about "black on black crime" as if that makes it okay when police go too far. It's divisive to tell someone they have to forget their history in order to meet your standard of "being American".
it's not an opinion at all lol he started all of this when he started to become an irrelevant no longer starting QB. I can't wait until he's old enough to definitively never even be able to play in the NFL so we don't have to hear about him anymore. nobody remembers shareef abdur rahim
OPs Panamanian wife has trouble stomaching the loads I line her eso us with, but all things work out in the end tbh
Well there is that!
Re . It was mahmoud abdul-rauf.
Truth
Don't mind Pop's opinion, but I find it interesting that he throws shade on people who hug the flag, while at the same time places a backup quarterback (at best) on a pedestal as some martyr of social injustice.
I mean, seriously, Kaep didn't sacrifice anything. He isn't a true activist. He kneeled and ended up getting a Nike contract.
I think Bo Jackson said it best, when he said an activist would be out in the sweltering heat in DC protesting.
Bo didn't question the cause, he questioned the energy expended by such an activist.
Pop just says some really odd things at times. I will never forget when he blasted the fans for cheering so much when Boban checked into the game. Pop was being a complete hypocrite in that situation for assuming that the cheers were disingenuous of the fans.
Look, I really respect Pop, but he isn't beyond reproach.
This opinion makes you a racist. (blue font)
The right thing to do is talk about USA team not bringing other people up
What the former football player did has Nothing to do with the USA basketball.
He is paid to coach basketball not tell me what he thinks on other subjects
I have no problem if he goes on cnn foxnews msnbc and talk about politics but not on basketball time
But bringing attention to something that is wrong at your own personal risk - is still miles ahead of doing absolutely nothing and NOT risking yourself.
Truth
Had we been blessed with a true leader instead of a racist -
this leader - could have taken the issue - brought positive attention to the cause -
encouraged the DOJ to ins ute a number of changes to help solve the issue or at least lessen it.
Together they could have been a positive force - instead of using the issue to throw red meat to racists and actually make the issue worse.
But keep hating on the patriot that tried to do something positive
and
keep supporting the traitor who pledged allegiance to an enemy foreign government and then had enough evil motives to try and paint the patriot as some kind of hater of america.
not too hard to see this issue clearly - if you can put your racism on the shelf for a minute
