Why is kneeling during a game worse than white supremacists marching? If conservatives want to pretend to be the ultimate guards of free speech maybe they should accept all types.

Because the guy is at work. You don't protest at work or you will get FIRED!
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!': Trump calls for BOYCOTTS of NFL teams w

I have no interest in football so I'm sure there are issues I'm unaware of, but if this player is making his employers lots of money, why should they fire him for expressing a political opinion that you don't like. That sounds like bad business to me.

Why should we do that ? The free markets doing a great job all on its own.

Fans can decide for themselves whether its offensive or not, and they are.
The NFL can either acknowledge this issue, defend these players and their actions or continue losing billions and playing in empty stadiums

Only one intelligent response to this: If you're a friend to cop-killers you're an enemy to the rest of us.

That's where the battle line is drawn.

There is a war in progress.

So Trump may be wrong on many things, but he's right on this.

Let us see:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances


Well, the president might not be congress but he is the US government in all of it's power so if he asks for prohibiting free speech or the right to peaceably assemble (which is what they are doing) then it violates the first amendment to ask them to be fired IMHO.

Also, there is no mandatory standing for any anthem IMHO, that is a personal choice to either sit, stand or kneel.

Which is not an unreasonable position. Which means that, horrific as the idea may be to everybody on this forum who interacts with you on a regular basis, you would be a better President than Trump.

No one is asking for a law to be passed to stop the behavior. They are merely saying that a private organization can address the actions of their employees while they are on company time. They can do all the kneeling they want somewhere else.

Yeah, I can see the court case where the employee then sues his employer for breach of contract.

Breaking: this has nothing to do with being 'a friend to cop-killers'.

There is no war going on.

Super easy topic to follow along with.

They are treating it worse. The same people defending the free speech of neo-Nazis are yelling at Kaepernick. I'm not accusing people of supporting white supremacists, but I am accusing people of having a blatant double standard when it comes to free speech.
Click to expand...

That's because you have a fundamental ignorance on the subject and what's being called out. Freedom of speech is a constitutionally guaranteed right for citizens in the United States. We take that right pretty seriously. If people expressing an unpopular opinion are assaulted and the police do nothing to stop those actions then the institution of freedom of speech is threatened. These silencing actions have also spread to include anyone who is on the political right, demonstrating the threat to free speech is growing. No one cares about, or likes the neo-Nazis, they care about our liberties, something the left doesn't care about.

Kaepernick is a pubic figure that plays a game that is there to let people be distracted from the daily grind. He chose to take that venue and corrupt it and deciding he was going to disrespect the nation that has made him millions and that many of died to maintain. A lot of football fans are patriotic and actually like our nation, unlike the political left.

That is the difference. It's not complicated.

I dont know, maybe you should ask the millions of fans who aren't buying tickets are going to the games ?

The NFL is in serious trouble but the Left and the NFL is predicatbly and totally in the dark as to why.

Sure, the Left has given explicit instructions as to whats offensive and whats not, but in the end people will always decide for themselves

Hollywood is also in trouble as this was he worst Summer box office in over a decade, and no it has nothing to do with Rotten Tomatoes or crap films
Click to expand...

I think Hollywood's woes has more to do with competition from TV, streaming and video games.

I mean what summer films were "offensive" to conservatives? Was IT offensive because of how it protrays clowns?

I know, you need to pretend that it was, but reality dictates otherwise, as usual. Simply asking a question doesn't equate to a strawman in this case.

OK...show where Ranea made an argument anywhere close to what MrP addressed. Otherwise, emulated your hero Kaepernick and take a knee away from this conversation because you're looking silly.
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!': Trump calls for BOYCOTTS of NFL teams w

Here's the hypocrisy: Many people, primarily those on the right to far-right, see a violent protest and they unilaterally condemn it... and for good reason. The violence aspect has no place and only negatively affects other innocent people. They will also say that protests are a right, just that they should be done peacefully, and they CLAIM to be willing to defend a person's right to peacefully protest even if they don't approve. Sounds all noble, doesn't it?

Then comes along someone peacefully protesting, and apparently that's not good enough, either. :roll:

FFS, people, you're really just a bunch of hypocrites, aren't you? Truth is you really want it to be your way or the highway.

Nice straw man there, Skippy. Suggesting a boycott to reduce on field protests during football games is just like mandating that all stand during the national anthem by law.
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!': Trump calls for BOYCOTTS of NFL teams w

Personally I always sit to attention or stand for the anthem but when an anthem is played virtually all day at all sporting events, then what is the added value of playing it? Now if the US national team plays any game then yes, of course you play the anthem of both countries but at every sporting event? That to me is overkill, it devalues how special an anthem is IMHO. But everybody is free to view it their way. That is the beauty of living in a free country.

To Trump it's worse. Trump had to be pulled kicking and screaming in front of a camera to condemn Nazis, only to reverse his position the next day. But condemning a guy for kneeling in quiet protest during the National Anthem? He did that one with the kind of energy and enthusiasm money can't buy.

That's a lie...he has condemned them, non-stop, but the media keeps telling you it ain't so and you believe them.
