    You could make that same argument for the tiki torch white nationalists.

    National news made it a point to let everyone know, on Thursday and Friday evening, that Super Bowl ads would not be aimed at politics this time. No player knelt during the National Anthem. The Eagles coach started his victory speech off with "First and foremost I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."

    This is America becoming great again.

    I guess the most ironic part here is that you didn't get Antiduopolist or MMC's sarcasm. Are you a Trumper?

    As it always is... They spend their time looking for something to be mad about.

    This is actually America thinking minimum standards are important to warrant news and then passing them off as "becoming great again," unless you're of the impression that no one in the history of television and the world has ever started off thanking the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ until last night.

    Do you have a strong-willed kid? Do you realize that often when parents prevent them from doing things they like, the exact same thing becomes even more attractive?

    Yeah I have 2....adults now. My youngest wanted to play. I sidetracked him with getting into Kempo. My oldest wanted to play. Then saw his buddy get seriously injured. So he got into Soccer and Track.

    Why would I? Did you think every poster here is on a political register? Did you think I follow their posts to see who they support? No.

    They responded as Trump supporters so it sure looks like they're Trump supporters...

    And I think my original post said it all.......maybe you could address the post ??

    Or would you rather get all personal and silly and deny the OP has a Big Issue with something so ridiculous as to be in the realm of fantasy.....

    Agree or disagree, they had a legal right to be there at that time. Antifa didn't appreciate the message and decided to illegally butt in and it cost them a life. What they should have done is let the white nationalists do their complaining and bickering over what they believe in, just like BLM and Antifa and every other protesting group does, and then Antifa could have followed up with their own protest. Unfortunately that's not what Antifa wanted, they wanted to cause a scene over a message they didn't like.

    Well if that was the case then I wouldn't have used the term, "again." Guarantee you Tebow wouldn't be getting throttled by analysts for praying now.

    NO ONE appreciated the message, Antifa actually had permits of their own so they had a right to be there as well and like many of you have said everyone has the right to voice their opinions.

    You people is not an insult. What you said absolutely is a personal attack, and is pathetic.

    Exactly. And when they're not mad, they're looking for reasons to be mad. I've never seen a group of people that thrived on anger until the left started in against Bush in 2007. They get worse every year.

    Mine just started to wrestle, and he is really good at it. Maybe the problem will solve itself when he realizes that he likes wrestling better than football.

    That's 'cause his QB play was too egregious to ignore. Fact of the matter is your standards are pretty low if you think thanking Jesus Christ is proof we're becoming great again.

    You said they wouldn't understand your sarcasm, then their sarcasm went right over your head.

    Everyone knew you were being sarcastic, but you felt the need to jab Trump supporters and let us know you were being sarcastic because you were under the impression that anyone that didn't join PF this morning would think you might have been serious, so two people responded to you with sarcasm and it went right over your head.

    Your t.v. must be different than mine. I watched to see if any would kneel and I never saw any thing below the players waist. Had they knelled I would have still enjoyed a great game. I believe in freedom of speech.

    If I have a son, I will direct him into sports other then football. The brain injuries aren't worth it.

    It is when you included me with the rest of your statement. So again, you get what you give.

    I don't care if no-one appreciated the message, that's not the point. No-one appreciated hearing BLM chant about dead cops either but they were allowed to spread their hate. Do you have a problem with free speech now?

    I am glad you think the military men who sacrificed so much for this country did so in vain.

    They died so others have the right to dissent in a peaceful way.

    Your entire argument is a fraud and your personal insults are a pathetic, worthless contrivance. As is this entire notion that swill drinking louts can dictate what patriotism is.

    Get a new point of view.

    No. But I have an issue with white nationalists.
