No owners nor coaches are firing anyone for kneeling during the National Anthem, and it is clear that the NFL is denying Trump's dictatorial decree that it be done.

They did it as a show of support, but they also did it in protest of Trumps anti democratic stance against free speech. Now can't Putin find anything productive for you to do?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

It's not that Trump did anything to stop it; Trump's comments were the reason there was mass kneeling in the first place. It only needed to be done once to make the point which was why it wasn't repeated this week. The idea that Trump solved a problem that was mostly caused by him in the first place is spin jujitsu Baghdad Bob would be proud of.Last edited by KingsGambit; 10-01-2017, 08:52 PM."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

And of course antifa has taught us that "being a Nazi" means disagreeing with them about anything.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIt looks like the NBA is reacting preemptively by banning such demonstrations before their season starts. I'm actually surprised that the MSM didn't do their typical spinning on their eyebrows spitting out wooden nickles response to it.
I'm skeptical that economic concerns played a broad role in the NFL players' decision not to repeat as their own salaries were not really at risk.Last edited by KingsGambit; 10-01-2017, 10:39 PM."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Nobody said Trump solved a problem (though the bizarre idea that Trump started all this IS Baghdad Bob worthy). What demi said (accurately) is that Trump won. Which he did. He positioned himself as defender of the flag and anthem and his stupid opponents (I guess football really does do brain damage) took the plain and obvious bait he set. The point wasn't to win an argument with the players, the point was for Trump to rally his base against the NFL and their atrocious, anti-conservative double standards. And his victory was decisive. The NFL is losing a ton of money over this debacle and contra your insinuations that this was supposed to just be a 1 week thing the players almost certainly got hammered behind the scenes. At the end of the day the NFL is there to make money by entertaining people. The blatant disrespect the players show to the anthem (in the name of a false cause at that) does not entertain the typical white conservative families that watch their games. It takes some serious delusion to think this was anything other than a rout."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThe NBA isn't doing anything other than stating the existence of a rule they've had for a long time. The only time it's ever come up in NBA history was in the mid 90s when a Muslim player refused to stand for the anthem on religious grounds, and he ended up working out a compromise with the league. (A rebellion against the NBA's current decree seems unlikely; the NBA commissioner is actually well liked by players. He built up a significant amount of good will on racial justice issues by kicking Donald Sterling out of the league a couple years ago.)
