NFL "Taking a knee"

[jonesthecurl]

If I was talking I'd say "an". If I was writing I'd put "a".

[Symmetry]

If I was talking I'd say "an". If I was writing I'd put "a".

What if you were writing informally? Or conversationally?

[jonesthecurl]

I'd still cling to that much grammar. If I were writing lines for a play, I'd write it as I'd speak it.

[Woodruff]

Dude, the NFL player is exercising their right when they kneel. The guy who sees this and says "You are an idiot" is also exercising his right.

So why are those who are so upset with this not also upset with the many direct violations of the U.S. Flag Code that happen at almost every televised NFL game? Why do those direct violations go un-whined-about but this kneeling creates so much angst?

In addition, why is there no angst over the line of folks standing at the concession stand during the playing of the National Anthem? I guess it's ok to be trying to feed your face, but it's not ok to take a knee?

It's the hypocricy that I find so damning about almost all of those who are complaining about this simple act of peaceful protest.

[Woodruff]

Naw, this last Sunday the NFL players protested because Trump gave them a bunch of shit. They weren't protesting for whatever the hell Kaeper was protesting that's for sure, they were doing it for their own reasons. The main reason is giving a middle finger to Trump.

Actually, their "main reason" was to protest the person holding the highest position in our Federal Government making statements about taking action against those who were peacefully acting within their Constitutional rights. You know the Federal Government...the one that those rights are meant to protect us from.

[Woodruff]

in my book burn the flag go to prison,and that is a law,about burning the flag,but if it was up to me every flag burnner would be kicked out and sent to mexico

All righty then. Karel's idea of running the country-

karel wouldn't use capital letters.

...or complete sentences.

[Woodruff]

... And as this is America, they have every right to protest it. It's a freedom of speech thing. If folks don't like it they can change channels.

----America yes, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST ON PRIVATE PROPERTY...A NFL FOOTBALL FIELD

They do if the owner of that private property gives them permission to do so.

[Woodruff]

--------Hey ,guess what.. the rules set up by both NFL and NBA...STATE THAT PLAYERS MUST BE ON THE SIDELINE/COURT...STAND...FACE THE FLAG...ETC..ETC...THE NBA COMMISH HAS SAID THE RULE WILL BE ENFORCED......SO WHY IS THE NFL COMMISH AFRAID TO DO THE SAME AND ENFORCE THE RULES OF HIS OWN LEAGUE?......SO SAD... ....... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

cuz he is a snowflake and hates america

It seems to me that the biggest "snowflakes" in America are the ones that seem so hell-bent on calling others "snowflakes". Well, aside from President Trump, who legitimately seems like the biggest snowflake around.

Trump only cares about himself. When is this President going to release his tax returns? Do we have to wait until Mueller goes through these tax returns.....oh well I can wait I guess.

Besides that, Trump loves all these pathetic sideshows, as it keeps the news from reporting on the Russian probe.

Hey kiddo, Hillary ain't the President. Every time someone catches Trump lying (almost everyday) or acting like some tin pot Dictator...you boys say Obama this, Hillary this and repeat this over and over again to avoid answering those embarrassing questions about whether Trump is fit for the job.

Now calm down kiddo, otherwise you might be considered mentally deranged. You know the ATF and NSA are always searching through the internet for potential lunatics who may do another Las Vegas. Don't be surprised if they end up at your house and your Mother may have to commit you to some juvenile home for troubled youth.

Trump inherited a strong economy, so what kind of legislation did he passed to make the economy stronger? Yep, he inherited his wealth from Daddy too.

Trump has said so many lies since taking office it's mind boggling!

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23/opinion/trumps-lies.html

Many Americans have become accustomed to President Trump’s lies. But as regular as they have become, the country should not allow itself to become numb to them. So we have catalogued nearly every outright lie he has told publicly since taking the oath of office. Updated July 21: The president is still lying, so we've added to this list, and provided links to the facts in each case.

[Bernie Sanders]

He cares about America so much that he intentionally wasted at least $125,000 of taxpayer money for no other reason than to make a grandstanding ploy. In that case, I'd rather he didn't really care quite so much - maybe he could only care like $100 worth or so.

All aboard the clue train! CHOO CHOO! Last stop is you, homie.

By far, one of the biggest air heads we've had in presidency. The man has lied...Just about everything. There's even clips of audio and video making statements before and after, so how do you justify that?

Here's a wonderful site that pursues the truth. Good ol' politifact. They've been doing their due diligence by keeping up with Trumps bullshit.
Trump False Statement Record

This list ranges into the thousands. Completely understand if you don't want to read 1000 false statements and the research behind every single of one of them, but at least read the first or 2nd page, perhaps you'll stop slobbing his knob and open your eyes for a change.

If you don't want to read this site or it's "false news", then pray tell, how do you justify the American Health Care Bill act, which would see major increase in costs, to where only the upper middle class would be able to afford it?

How about his inability to prosecute that piece of shit Hillary? That was one of the big campaign movements, wasn't it? Justice for Benghazi.

How about his Twitter habit? What other President can you name has declared executive orders on Twitter? The guy says some of the dumbest shit on there, and y'all eat that garbage up without remotely questioning it. Is it really that complicated to hop on google, or read a newspaper, or get some sort of info to confirm his statements?

Just read about half the shit he has pulled, you can pull up multiple sites who will say the same thing. As sayings go, one might be lying, two is a maybe, but three or more is probably for certain. He's basically a complete asshole, and not the one you should be cheering on, but criticizing for, for being a shitty human being if anything.

There's few merits that I applaud him for, but I condemn most of his actions because, well, it blatantly sucks. Quit slobbin his knob already and be more open to the other possibilities that Trump isn't that great of a president, if not, worse than the previous two thus far.
