Indeed, I think both are retarded. People have the right to kneel. Just like people have the right to call those who kneel whiny little punks.
How about a "black on black crime vs cop on black crime" thread? You wont' see it, because the answer is obvious, but also an uncomfortable truth.

And yet they always don't support. The Steelers coach whined that someone dared go against the grain and stand for the anthem.
They have said they are now going to stand from now on. If someone disobeys, you think there will be whining? Or pats on the back for a millionaire taking a knee?
How sad is our country that we have sports teams holding votes on whether to stand during our anthem?

Maybe they should just stop having the players out on the field during the anthem all together. Or just don't play the anthem during a sporting event in the first place. It's always annoying to go get some nachos, sit down and get comfy, and then have to stand up for the anthem.
Why can't they just protest on their own time? Stand during the anthem. It doesn't mean you support police brutality. They have the right to protest, but people died for that right, and that is part of what that flag represents.

Because doing it this way gets more attention. The whole point of protesting is to get attention, and they're getting it, like it or not.

Yeah and...pun intended..it backfired. It's not about police brutality anymore. It's about being anti trump. They complained over Trump, and when Trump revoked an invitation for the NBA champs or whoever, they complained over that too. They can't have it both ways, they act like they don't wanna go but are upset when the invitation is revoked and suddenly call Trump divisive.
So now they will get lots of attention, it just won't be about the cause this was supposedly about.
Say what you want about Hilary(and there is a lot to be said) she sucked it up and went to Trumps inauguration. Some grown ass man can't show the same behavior though. Chumps.
