Why is it always about

How is anyone supposed to know if they don't get in front of the cameras and say it?

 

They don't have to say it. That all teams kneeled in support of a few is enough.

 

They do have to say what they are protesting, without saying it they appear to be protesting the Anthem, America or the military.

 

Not if they never said so.

 

On the contrary, Im delighted about the kneeling, and the now impending death of the NFL and hopefully, the worship of sportsball by Americans altogether. The human energy wasted watching useless millionaire baffoons demonstrate how skilled they are at something so pointless has always weighed on my soul. But not for much longer!

 

All kneeled in support of their teammates after Trump stirred the pot. Before he mouthed off, a few players kneeled.

 

Nobody's going to know that they are just going to see the disrespect to America if nothing is said as to why they are taking a knee.

 

I hope you are right I would love to see all sports just go away.

 

They made it clear to me. America is becoming more racist and anti black under Trump, and some NFL players are protesting.
Just read some of the posts in these forums and it will become painfully obvious to you.

 

Even if that were true do you really think these millionaires taking a knee will change anything? Are you wanting a race war to start? People are getting tired of being called racists over things that have nothing to do with race.

 

That is a discussion for another day. Actually, I think that it will have no effect, and I think that there are many racists in our country. Anti Mexican, antisemitic,
and anti black. The racist attacks against Obama when President, and his wife were appalling, and the racial divide only increased because Obama was black.
I believe that Trump, with his actions, is feeding the frenzy.

 

Well racism will not be eliminated in our lifetime and everything they are doing by calling everyone racist is only creating more racists. Calling Trump a racist for his attempts at stopping illegals from coming in from Mexico does not make him racist, Mexican is not a race it is a nationality. If people on both sides of things would just leave race out of it then the racism would calm down. I was raised a racist and have been attempting to to change but seeing racism among other races and none being called racists for it does not help. Obama did not help the divide when he constantly pulled the race card at every opportunity. All of the race issues with Trump is just another method the Trump haters use to try and hinder him just like the Russian thing. Everyone needs to just let the race thing die on it's own and it will in time.

 

Trump may not be a racist, but he fuels racism with his actions. Racism relative to Mexicans, Jews, and blacks is alive and well in
our country. Obama did no such thing. His color resulted in disgusting remarks about his color. You were not the only person who was raised as a racist, and I applaud you for recognizing it and trying to do something about it. Others are doing nothing about it, and there are thousands in our country, maybe millions. These racists attack blacks, Jews, Mexicans (so what if it is a nationality), Muslims, Indians. When racist remarks are made about another people, their nationality is moot.

 

Where and how do the racists attack other races? Remember sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me. I haven't seen any attacks since the KKK died out years ago. Obama was constantly siding with perpetrators when police have to shoot them long before any evidence is produced and this is what fueled all the racial hatred from the minorities.

 

Why don’t you try and educate yourself and perhaps you will learn that these hate groups have grown drastically since obama and especially since Trump. And yes they have attacked people.

 

How many crosses are being burned today? How many blacks are being hung in trees and left for all to see today? The past is over move on. White against black murders have dropped over the last century. Don't bring up the so called police killings, even that has dropped dramatically in recent years, it has just been publicized more with that advent of social media making it look like it has grown.

 

Oh that’s wonderful, they’re not lynching
But these groups you need to defend are merely terrorizing Muslims, Jews blacks and gays....but you’re right they’re good people,because they don’t hang blacks from trees anymore. ....oh and hate crimes have gone way up since trump.

 

No the reporting of them has gone up with social media.

 

Why is the Left always urinating on this nation? Why is that?

 

I'm glad you've noticed the massive increase in hate crimes . . . conducted by violent ANTIFA while representing the core of what it truly is to be a leftist in this nation. Good catch!

 

One word rebuttal . . . ANTIFA.

 

Actually for eight straight years the entire nation watched bigoted and racist Barack Obama openly practice race-baiting and race-agitating on national television, and so the nation if very much accustomed to it.

 

Yes they were disrespecting both flag and anthem and therefore this nation. Leftists can CALL a dog a cat but yet it still . . . barks instead of meows; and all rational citizens know it.

 

Yep and the fans have the right to boycott the NFL into bankruptcy.
