In reference to what?
To your statement about rioting and looting. The Rams were not rioting and looting.

Pre-game political statement made by NFL player:

In a way...yes, the players did. While on the job, in their employee uniform, the players made a statement which can easily be considered a reflection of their employer. It was not on their own time but it was on company time as representatives of the company.And did they do that in this case?
I need more than the NAACP.
They look at what they call the “racial gap” in sentencing – the difference between sentences for black defendants and white defendants – and find that it varies across judges, showing that race is affecting sentencing decisions. “We find evidence of significant inter-judge disparity in the racial gap in incarceration rates, providing support for the model where at least some judges treat defendants differently based on their race,” Abrams and his co-authors note in the study. “The magnitude of this effect is substantial. The gap in incarceration rates between White and African-American defendants increases by 18 percentage points (compared to a mean incarceration rate of 51% for African-Americans and 38% for Whites) when moving from the 10th to 90th percentile judge in the racial gap distribution.”
So given these items, return to your first. If the justice system is stacked against african americans, how does this all play into it?
American flags are at all games.
I responded to haymarket's prejudicial general statement in general.
Unless he's suggesting anyone here stated that the rams being stupid is somehow being favored to be restricted by libertarians, the concept would have to be expanded to make sense, in it's utter nonsense of course.
An American flag is NOT a political statement.
It's not?
Is that not a political statement? This was a player carrying the flag for "military appreciation month." Which is a league sanctioned political statement.
If a person has a political bumper sticker on their car, should they be prevented from parking at their workplace?
Sure. Here is more

Please read the entire study. here is a small taste
Read the thread. Many libertarians including yourself are saying that they should be prevented from making a statement.

This isn't the home of Michael Brown.
Where was his home then?
No.
..
Of course it is. It's saying "I love America." Which is a place defined by political boundaries.
Ferguson. We don't live in the United States of Michael Brown.
Your post are intentionally obtuse today.
Of course it is. It's saying "I love America." Which is a place defined by political boundaries.
Given that Ferguson is in the United States, I would posit that the United States was the home of Michael Brown. It is also the home of rocket88, and if I'm not mistaken, the home of tres borrachos.
The games are played in America. The teams are based in America.
You know quite well an American flag at a football game isn't in the same hemisphere as protests but you're going to pretend you think it.
