    I'll ask again "What did these players do during their time off in regards to their angst?" Lead any protests, have any town hall meetings etc...

    Of course, the police want to incite this issue. They don't want impunity for police crimes against unarmed blacks to end.

    I gave you one from the guy that started the whole thing. But here are a couple more:

    6. Ndamukong Suh (DT, Detroit Lions)- One of NFL’s roughest and meanest players on the field plays an entirely different role off the field. Suh has created the Ndamukong Suh Family Foundation, which strives to create success in underprivileged communities through charities and fundraisers. Suh, along with his sister Ngum, opened up the NSFF in 2010 based on their family’s dedication to charity and helping the well being of others. In addition to donations towards breast cancer funds, the NSFF has made significant donations to the learning community and child education. The 90 Backpack Program, which identifies 90 children in need and provides them with a backpack for school and all the necessary supplies for the student to succeed in school. In return, the student is asked to sign the UNofficial SUH’s Scholars agreement, which encourages students to achieve at the highest potential both in school and in their social lives.

    [​IMG]


    9. Larry Fitzgerald (WR, Arizona Cardinals)- The First Down Fund works together with Larry Fitzgerald to provide time and money to organizations focusing on helping children across the country. The fund hopes to provide children in difficult situations with an opportunity to play sports within their community. The fund supports families in crisis with both health and financial support needed to better their lives. Fitzgerald has also traveled with his foundation across the globe to help children with harsh living conditions, as well as making trips to U.S. troops in the Middle East for support and entertainment. Fitzgerald has become one of the more charitable players in the NFL, and uses his First Down Fund to donate money across the globe to those in need.

    The common view circa 1860 was loyalty to one's State over the Federals.
    Robert E. Lee opposed his State of Virginia leaving the Union of States.
    but felt his duty to his State of Virginia took precedent over his personal views
    or his loyalty to the Federals.
    At heart, Robert E. Lee was not a traitor. He was as loyal and honorable as could be.
    He was a gentleman of 1860! Not 2018.


    The Fist Raised Statue in public places should not be there if we can't tolerate
    a statue of Robert E. Lee in a public place.
    Bravo Florida Police.
    Boycott NFL teams that tolerate anthem protests.



    @PARTIZAN1
    Even if you do not agree, it seems you cannot consider how people viewed things
    in 1860 vs 2018. Try take your history in the first person, present tense. Like a Passover.

    It was a brain child of the racist Woodrow Wilson and his klan. Wilson wanted the racist song to be the national anthem but the Congress Critters didn't buy it. Then his klan started playing it at segregated baseball games. With the advent of radio people across the country became brainwashed with it. Congress finally gave in after resisting for years and approved it in the 1early 1930s. I think that the players are being nice when they take a knee instead of giving it a finger. The song is an insult to their ancestors who fought for their freedom from the slaver who wrote it boasting about killing them.

    Good don't watch any of it sportsball is just a distraction anyway.

    The police need to shut the **** up and do their ******ned jobs. Any good capitalist knows they are playing with fire and should see a pay cut for drawing unwanted attention.

    White parents tell our children to say yes sir and no sir and do not point your gun at the cops.

    Question still stands, why do they need our help?

    I understand completely that in 1860 people were still did not completely identify as Americans. Still men like Lee were graduates of West
    Point and as officers of the United States Army they pledged that they would protect the Constitution and the nation. The nation still was the United States of America. So Lee decided to give his loyalty to a lesser government a lesser part of the whole. By doing so he became a traitor to his own country since Virginia joined the other traitor states.

    What if some guy decides to commit a terrorist act against a women's clinic that provides abortion. His motivation in his personal,opinion he finds abortion to be "murder" therefore he commits murder. Are you saying that the guy should not be arrested and tried because he did firva personal reason? Or what if your terrorist blows up the Supreme Court while they are in session because he personably is opposed to Roe vs Wade?

    The Rosenbergs gave our atomic nuclear device secrets to the USSR because they personally believed that an enemy state should have our secrets. Are you going to use the Robert E. Lee defense for their traitorous act?n

    Here is a key factor that adults learn in their time when trying to make a point, its all about your delivery. Kneeling during your business day on someone elses dime, when the national anthem is being played delivers the message that youre protesting the anthem, flag, and ALL that it represents. Kneeling in front of a police station or in front of prisons when your teammates are released after beating their wives/girlfriends/strippers/kids would deliver their message that they are against the police more so than when they are kneeling now. Do they have the right to kneel, sure. They also have the right to face the consequences for their kneeling.

    And don't try to conflate Rosa Parks or MLK jr, their protests were against a business that upheld racist laws. So unless someone can show me where the NFL is upholding the police beatings, these players are not the same as the previous civil rights activists mentioned.

    The police are indulging in Trumpian politics.

    If they have time for this foolishness and Trumpery, there is evidently a shortage of donut stores.

    And with that simple line, we can also ask why do black people commit 10X more violent crimes than white people overall?

    Perhaps the conservatives have a point.

    It's the police who should be kneeling and begging forgiveness.

    Would be interested to see a civil union backed organization get a pay cut by democrats. Wonder what will happen to all the union donations that mostly go to democrats if they happen to do that? Kind of like when a black man speaks out against the dems, the dems typical response is to try and whip him back onto the plantation.
