.....can chew on a bag of dicks.
Kneel during the National Anthem?
Guess what you piece of shit? It ain't about you, nobody gives a flying fuck about your personal view.
You can at least show respect for the fact you live in a country that you are blessed enough to play a game for a living and that many have laid down their lives to pay for that privilege.
Pile of shit
Couldn't have said it better myself. Fuck him. At least we don't have to see him the rest of this game.
Edit - damn, Spoke too soon.

The 1st amendment isn't about speech one agrees with. It's being allowed to say something one doesn't agree with.
With that said
If he or another sports figure wore a NRA hat. There'd be a call for his being banned permanently .

However, when he is wearing the uniform of his team he is representing the team, city, state and NATIONAL Football League.
I would have benched his ass.

Does an NFL 'team' that moves a ball around a field have any obligation to uphold the beliefs of their community?
Nope.
Unless it comes time to hit up the tax-payer when a new stadium is needed. These entertainers are bought and sold like commodities. 'Draft' isn't a word that only applies to forced military service.
How in the fuck is the NFL tax exempt?
These men in super-hero uniforms are entertainment. The NFL's endorsement to the military has been exposed as pay for play. The NFL's politics = self-preservation and profit.
I don't care what one or all of these entertainers do. And I'm really not sure why anyone else does either.
Let them play their game. Watch or don't. But there is no 'team,city, state and NATIONAL' in anything that they do. It is entertainment.
I enjoy watching the games, but between the first kick and when the clock runs out; I could care less about anything that anyone affiliated with this tax-exempt entity does.
Let a player sit during the National Anthem. Hell, they have been wearing pink-shit during games for as long as I can remember while a comparable amount of men die from their prostates waking up one morning and deciding that they want to kill their host.... All while children die from leukemia, hungry people starve, etc. etc.
However, saving titties sells to knuckle-draggers. Put on them pink cleats!
The game is a product. Take an interest in your local highschool team (don't even get me started on college ball) and support them. That game hasn't been tainted yet because it has a large level of legal protections prohibiting it.
We're sitting here talking about the physical positioning of an individual while participating in a theatrical presentation.
Our minds and attention are better used elsewhere in my opinion.

^^^yes
If taking a knee for one minute, once a week, a few times a year, is all you care to do in support of your cause, then I'd be pretty comfortable saying that you don't really have any cause at all.
A millionaire with months of free time who can only be bothered to occasionally kneel should not be upset when no one takes their dedication to their cause seriously.
If you're gong to use your theater to try and promote an idea, at least make some more effort to sell it.
I'd be surprised if I was the only one here who thinks it's entertaining to see a bunch of panties ruffled over something so insignificant.

Well said. I don't agree with his stance or his way of conveying his stance (or kneelnce?), but I will defend his right to say it. That being said, everyone is free to share their opinion about him and his stance as well.
I was disappointed when I saw him kneeling during the national anthem. He makes more money in a year than I will see in a lifetime of serving the people of this country. How is he oppressed?

They are not saying that they as individuals are oppressed. They are dating that oppression happens and they want it to change and people to talk about it in order to stop it. However none of this will do anything to bring about change because they are not doing it the right way.
As an employee, this may not be a First Amendment issue. Anyone of us here can test that out quite easily and report back.
The "oh noes, I'm oppressed" coming from multi-millionaires needs to be confronted and if the NFL wasn't politicized they would have done this immediately. If it results in fewer people watching (bread and circuses) who start paying attention to real world events, then I'm happy.
They are not saying that they as individuals are oppressed. They are dating that oppression happens and they want it to change and people to talk about it in order to stop it. However none of this will do anything to bring about change because they are not doing it the right way.
So let's follow the logic...
Minorities are victims of systematic and pervasive oppression.
The millionaire cry babies are minorities.
???
There has never been more opportunity for "minorities" anywhere in the world then there is the US right now. If this isn't good enough because we won't give certain people the space to destroy then they should be honest and say that. My belief is nothing will ever be good enough as long as there's a race baiter looking for a paycheck or to win an election.
Meh, fuck a buncha multi-millionaire sports "heroes" and those who worship them. I'd rather watch Swamp People.
I really don't think that this is as big of a deal that it is made out to be. I could care less if anybody stands for our national anthem. If it is really that big of a deal then how come nobody cares that most people singing the anthem add their own interpretation of it? I have more or a problem with that, but even then it doesn't really matter. I get way more upset that the department of defense PAYS the NFL for the "Salute to Service" crap that they put on.

The freedom to express yourself doesn't mean the rest of us have to support it or listen to it. He can say whatever he wants but the NFL doesn't have to let him play. Do you think he'd be taking the field if he had beat up a woman on national TV? What if he said something homosexuals found offensive? What irks me is that you can do or say anything that's offensive to American heritage, traditional American values, Western/Christian values, etc. but the full power of the Left will come bearing down on you if you do or say anything they dislike or disagree with.

Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
For what it's worth, Scott Key celebrates runaway slaves being killed fighting for safe haven in the song too. I find it ironic that people will sport Confederate flag stickers on their trucks, or defend people who do, but these guys kneeling for a song that celebrates the plight of their lineage are freedom-hating traitors. If you're one of the people who fail to understand that irony, please schedule a vasectomy now.
Lest we forget, law enforcement in this country has become so highly militarized and rights-averse that the FBI conducted illegal searches in people's homes at the threat of imprisonment just a few years back. MRAPs were supplied to local police stations. Connecticut mandated gun confiscation. The umbrella of government wants to take YOUR guns, YOUR money, and YOUR civil liberties.
It's misguided and oversimplified to think that the same New York cops who killed a black man for selling cigarettes are in cahoots with the California system that let a white male off with 6 months for felony sexual assault. However, if you think that Colin Kaepernick or Brandon Marshall or Jeremy Lane don't appreciate their financial and athletic gifts because they're protesting a homage to a government that will crush us all alike at the first opportunity, you've really got some missing hardware in between your ears.
My father fled South Africa during apartheid, landed in what was then Zaire, only to be threatened by civil war. When he arrived in America, he worked his ass off to develop a life of prosperity. I won't soon forget that, and I would never want to leave this country. America affords me more opportunity, freedom, and pride than any other nation on earth. And I will never hesitate to give my life defending it from its enemies, foreign or domestic. That being said, I also don't turn a blind eye to the grave missteps we have taken here, and I will not be a jingoist who refuses to look at things critically for fear of being 'unpatriotic' or 'unappreciative'.
I will finish by saying this: as young black men, our biggest threat in this country is ourselves. The social engineering and manipulation on the parts of Southern Democrats all those years ago was only a catalyst; not an excuse. It is our responsibility to stop killing each other in senseless crimes in our own communities. I acknowledge this fully. But it is ignorant at best, and facetiously racist at worst, to ignore and marginalize the reality this is still a nation whose lifeblood was built on slavery, native genocide, and corporate immunity. The Jim Crow era is over, but not forgotten. To tell a Black man that he needs to "get over it" or "he himself wasn't a slave" is so disrespectful to his family's history and his social growth, that it's no wonder the racial tension has gotten to the point it's at now. Imagine telling people looking at the Alamo museum or Auschwitz that they weren't alive then, so they should shut up and quit bitching.

Thank you for your prospective Zero. I think the majority of members here agree with your statement and have some understanding of the plight of minorities in America.
We are as frustrated as you are because we (on the right) are the ones being blamed and not the Dems who propagated the vast majority of injustices against blacks in our history and continue to this day with their actions of atonement and guilt. It has been more so with 2A issues and "sensible gun laws" that have been put in place as a solution for problems we did not create. Our way of life, thoughts are being challenged to the point of intolerance in debate or academia. Our language being triggers and not to be spoken less the professors be challenged.
I understand that the more we (on the right) are oppressed the more the left will continue their march towards dismantling of the Republic by either weakening the Constitution with legal challenges or outright replacement. No where does the plight of minorities change we all just get mixed up in the same blender.

That means you could create a virus that knows you are white, black or any sex, age, disabled etc. Hell, they could probably custom tailor a virus or bacteria that will only kill you specifically!

We (on the right) and they (on the left) are really in it together, even if we can't stand each other. I think the biggest mistake we repeatedly make as a citizenry is allowing ourselves to get manipulated into this constant infighting. It drives me absolutely mad when I hear these uninformed, "common sense" liberals supporting gun control or trying to "redistribute" wealth. But the III% who stood up as a citizenry were still in it with the loyalists, even if they loyalists were too overcome with Stockholm syndrome to understand it.
At the end of the day, government doesn't really care about liberal or conservative support. Power corrupts; the democratic republic model is dying. Those in appointed power and their benefactors (corporate weasels) are more than happy to let use continue to weaken each other across party or idealogical lines. Our racial tension, religious segregation, and political rhetoric is causing us to pull ourselves apart as a citizenship, making it that much easier for the true traitors and thieves to take everything away from us all.
I urge anyone reading this to really consider who we should be focusing our anger on. The Democrats have put up a nominee who, by definition, could be tried for treason for the 2nd election in a row. And the GOP is allowing a self-admitted democratic liberal with no military or legislative experience who "doesn't like Black people counting his money, and only wants little guys in yarmulkes doing it" to represent it. Meanwhile, the 3rd party candidates are frozen out of public forums and our model of election puts the entire process in the hands of another corrupted gov't entity (electoral college).
This athletic derision is misguided, in my opinion.

Sorry Zero, I don't buy it. The current trend is more about tearing down American society and besmirching the good parts of our common heritage. I'm a 4th or 5th generation American (depending on which way you trace the family tree). None of my family were slaves but neither were they part of the privileged sector (at least, not until one of my grandfathers worked his way through college and medical school). As a kid, I had another kid call me a "gook" -- I laughed at his ignorant ass and got my revenge the good old-fashioned American way: by outperforming him.
It is ignorant at best and fatuous and facetious at worst to claim this nation's lifeblood was built on slavery, native genocide, and corporate immunity. All three of those and more occurred but they were NOT the foundation of the nation or its lifeblood. Jim Crow is being used as an excuse for theft of property and institutions. Marshall and Kaepernick certainly have the right to say whatever they want, however factually incorrect or distorted it may be, but they do NOT have a "right" to keep performing at high salaries while engaged in high calumny against the country's history and heritage.
Nothing is ever going to eliminate the shameful portions of our history but I take great exception to the way Leftists and anti-Americans try to tear the country down by focusing solely on those portions.

Hmm, seems actions have consequences :
Less than 24 hours after protesting during the national anthem, Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall is already facing some backlash.
Marshall's decision to kneel during the anthem has cost him an endorsement deal with Air Academy Federal Credit Union. The company announced on Friday that it's severing all ties with the Broncos linebacker.
"Although we have enjoyed Brandon Marshall as our spokesperson over the past five months, Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) has ended our partnership," the AAFCU said in a statement. "AAFCU is a membership-based organization who has proudly served the military community for over 60 years. While we respect Brandon's right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. We wish Brandon well on his future endeavors."

What you do on your own time and away from the jobsite is your business- but while you are at work, you will act in a manner respectful of me, this team and this country".

They are only free to protest at the workplace if their employer allows it. It should not be allowed.
The Sunday Denver Post today had some kind of "Broncos magazine" in it with a damn near life size pic of his face on the cover. A multi-millionaire with an angry look on his face like a common street thug.
Fuck him. That cover's going in my shredder.

This is the United States of America and the guy and like minded people are free to protest and say what they think. Just as you and I are. I have no problem at all with these guys and gals making whatever statement they feel a need to express in their own morality.
There are two issues here though.
1) The right to publicly express conservative ideas is not as equally protected as the right to spout leftard nonsense. Just ask Brendan Eich (one of thousands of examples).
2) His right to freedom of speech doesn't mean he gets to squelch opposition to the content of his speech (which is what leftists are doing when they complain that they've had to suffer some sort of consequence for expressing their ideas and thus claim their freedom of speech is being infringed upon).

Boom.
Interesting. They must have had different front cover pics as mine had Von Miller.
Yeah, my mistake. I seen a scowling angry-looking multimillionaire football star, he's been in the news every day, thought it was him.

Maybe not a mistake. I missed it, but I heard this morning that they had his mug in a Century Link ad in the Sunday Post. Appears he signed a deal with them.

Century Link told him to pound sand today. I suspect his "undisclosed" donation he was planning to give to a charity is getting smaller and smaller with every endorsement he loses.

I'm wondering what the end game is - at what point will they start standing up again?

Probably after his meeting with the Denver Chief of police. He'll shell out $1 maybe $2 million for what ever social program he's suggested to donate to. With a "small" portion going to LE's for body cams. That's my guess.
Autograph event cancelled.

I support the right these folks have to do what they're doing and I support the folks that make business decisions based on those actions.

All these obviously racist businesses.. taking money away from the poor black underprivileged athlete.
