    What ? me up is that the conservative types all say the college campuses have gone crazy with political correctness (even tho I do agree with that,) but these ? on the right go insane over someone being politically incorrect and kneeling for the national anthem.

    As if the deflection wasnt bad enough, trump made the ? worse. Everyone is gonna forget its about racial inequality and police brutality and that Kap is STILL being blackballed.

    The meaning is being dilluted now

    Its simple, Kap getting his job back, along with back pay or whatever might have been affected. He has the right to kneel and play ball like its just another day.

    Or at least being offered his job back, able to kneel again if he feels like it, because that his right as a citizen. I wouldnt work for them people again after all this, but i aint paying Kaps bills, so....

    i hear when people say alot of them have foundations and such but they should be the main ones making a statement...otherwise whats the point of your foundation?


    Tax shelters bruh.



    I remember the TNT Crew lowkey called Kenny Smith out on that a few years back.



    They always have some kind of contest each year and have to donate the money to a charity of their choice.



    What had Kenny been doing?



    Always picking his Aim High foundation as the charity of his choice.



    I guess he got embarrassed and/or didn't want the scrutiny because he hasn't chosen his foundation for the contest in at least the past 3 or 4 years.

    The end game is as clear as day, but many can't handle the truth of what's to come.

    I don’t know why you dummies sing the anthem before every single game anyway. ? ridiculous. NFL is too caught up with fake patriotism and sucking the troops ? . Don’t your government pay them to do that ? and have jets flying over the stadiums? Lmao smh. Just play some ? football.

    I don’t blame the dudes for kneeling though. Props to them.

    They'll keep doing it till Trump finally pulls off his wig in a fit of rage and eats it for lunch on live TV.

    on a light note, that would be awesome....I would forgive America and Trump at that very moment and go back to my sheep routine

    "It gets people talking"

    on a serious note, thats all its meant to do......"getting people talking" sounds pointless but its about awareness and making the people that wanna support the ? behind the scenes have to either take the mask off or eat their words and die internally (not really but they're very uncomfortable right now).

    So its been 14 months n people talked about it every day...nothings changed...

    Check this out.

    Packers asking the fans to link arms during the anthem.

    "Weak" you're probably thinking.

    Yet CACS still flip the ? out in the comments....................

    Even Trump endorsed linking arms, but these far-right conservatives ? always demand ? they can't get. (see: health care, immigration, war)

    Way I see it....you keep up even the mildest form of the protests, you'll get to watch these fascist cacs lose their damn minds.

    I think they are standing up for what they believe in an entirely peaceful and non-imposing way. I thinks thats really cool. Anyone who thinks someone be fired for doing something that has zero effect on their work performance is a ? sucka.

    I stay out of the Kaep thread tho cause there's nothing more obnoxious that someone trying to be a white savior.

    But lets be real, the only reason the owners are speaking now is because they're all rich as ? dudes that don't like being told what to do. If they really didn't give a ? about smoke one of them would have signed Kaep because event tho I don't think he's a very good QB, he's better than a few guys starting and most back-ups in the NFL.

    The players should continue to protest and make sure they mention the original reasons as well. This is bigger than a game.

    Trump changed the narrative to the anthem being about going against him,he is a very savvy mainstream media manipulator,he puts the bait out and the media and people bite onto every word.

    So here's my question @Will Munny

    Do you talk to other white people about the issue and do they seem concerned or interested in changing conditions like police brutality ?

    I'm a loner. I don't talk to anyone about anything.
