.....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 .

I could not agree more.
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.

Hockey players have something no NFL player will ever have: Class.
They are cut from an entirely different bolt of cloth.

Yes they are. Russian and French Canuk.

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.

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?
