    If I recall, the NFL had a contract with the military that they would respect the flag (which includes players would be standing or absent). Players have a contract with the NFL i'm sure so kneeling is not showing the respect required. It is dishonorable to the military besides.

    Considering he's on the cover of GQ Magazine and has been given special honors after putting in tons of work for various charities and organizations, I'd say he seems fine.

    I'm pleased he has found purpose for his life, those are all good things to do.

    Don't even know what GQ magazine is. Anything like Playgirl? If they get more like him out of the NFL I may start watching again....until then, I enjoy the NBA and "African tree hockey!"LOL

    Players tend to do things fairly frequently. J.J. Watt raised $37 million to help out after Hurricane Harvey this year.

    Takedown! Two points!

    Are you sure that's not greco-roman ice wrestling?

    The game wasn't very good. You keep fighting the good fight and missing playoff football. That'll tell those libs.

    You, as an American, have a right to free expression concerning your opinion of athletes' postures by sulking.

    I defend that right.

    Yes, and to the traitors and idiots on the left, everything the right gets infuriated over is the equivalent of someone taking a knee. Which is why Hillary, Obma, the IRS, DOJ, FBI, Uranium One players, pizzagate, et al. are dismissed or covered up as much ado about nothing.

    The only people who can pull off that trick are those without a conscience or a fear of the heavenlies.

    So, when President Sh1tstain refused to stand at attention, while on a military installation, during the lowering of the flag, I have to assume you no longer watch or support him, and hope he gets injured. Because surely you are not a complete hypocrite.

    10...9...8... (countdown to you coming up with an excuse for Dump, or trying to rationalize your selective application.)

    They technically aren't speaking though. They aren't even protesting inequalities IMO. They're saying 'F the flag, f the country and all the good people in it'. And that's sad. Doesn't stop me from watching football though.

    In this case I clearly do ;) You make it to easy Jonsa, what's that old adage "I could fill a thimble with what you know and volumes of what don't" ;) Men do not protest on their knees stud! It's a sign of submission and weakness, but you have your beliefs and I have mine, clearly you are a kneeler LOLOL

    Sorry you don't understand what free speech actually means. And no, that is only what their action says to the hopelessly uninformed.

    So I take it if you had the opportunity you'd end Affirmative action tomorrow?

    Technically, they certainly did not say 'F the flag, f the country and all good people in it.'

    Like many alt lefties you despise the principles on which this country was founded and want to "fundamentally change" it.
