and why wouldn't every NFL team owner do something like this? Disrespecting the National Anthem on national effing TV (because the cameras are looking for it) is bad for the players and the team. Takes their minds off the ball.

His football ain't that entertaining, either, much of the time.Quote:

As Andrew Breitbart said; politics is downstream from culture.

I would not abrogate their rights just because I don't like what they say.
Now we know where these people stand on particular issues and they will always have supporters and detractors. There will always be opinions and I thank God that I live in a country that still allows free thought. I also know that we are at war with ourselves as to the extent of those freedoms and so I will continue to stand for freedom and stand against those that seek to prevent free thought and the expression of free thought through non-violent means.
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.
Interesting. They must have had different front cover pics as mine had Von Miller.Quote:

It seems like only pro-American, non-socialists have to endure penalties for speaking their minds.Quote:
