Protests dont pay well

Lol, funny. But hey they are drawing attention to a worthy cause. Oh wait, what is that? Nobody is actually discussing the cause this was originally about? That would make this entire situation tragically hilarious.

No one knows what the cause is anymore. Other then hating America by kneeling for the Anthem but Standing for God Save the Queen.

Oh now it's just about hating on Trump lol. Which Trump revels in. That is the best part in all this, the original intent has been obliterated. When hundreds of players kneel there might as well be no players kneeling.

All you hear about now is Trump or how poor millionaire Colin K can't get a team to hire him or about how they are disrespecting the flag.

Oh shit, did you see Ray Lewis? Who knelt and then said no he was just praying? Lol. There is now a petition to get rid of his statue in Baltimore. This gets more entertaining by the day.

The NFL thinks they are going to win this. They forgot the tax payers fund their sport.

This just hit me: isn't kneeling typically seen as a gesture of deference and respect? If those guys really wish to be disrespectful, they should just sit down on the grass and pick their noses while the anthem plays.

Sorry but no, one of the players was stretching during the national anthem on the field. There is no respect here. And who are they showing repect to by kneeling?

This looks quite respectful to me: http://i2.cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170926093228-nfl-protests-trump-zw-js-orig-00001313-exlarge-169.jpg

Trump has tweeted out that he talked to the cowboys coach or owner or whoever knelt with them and said it will not happen again.

It will be hilarious to see what happens, because it will be a victory for Trump if none of them kneel again. At the same time Trump is reveling in this controversy and they feed into that if they do kneel.

It is the context. They are kneeling at the one moment you're supposed to be standing. Even in churches there are times to kneel and times to stand.

Nice, but that wasn't during the anthem. Cute of you to leave that context out.

TBF there is a lot of misinformation out there, it might have been shown as a picture of them during the anthem.

Who are they showing respect to?

I'd like to see them try that. Fire sale on NFL teams the day after.

I really wasn't aware whether I was during the anthem or not. OK, so how about this one: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/dam/assets/170925130003-09-nfl-kneeling-0924-1024x576.jpg

I agree with you, these people do not sloppily kneel down or anything. But it is the context. They are kneeling when you are supposed to be standing.

The country, the flag, whatever. The same thing they're showing respect to when they're standing up.

So your now trying to say they are respecting the flag by refusing to come out for the anthem, kneel when your asked to stand. Fat chance proving that one.
