    So anyone who protests and with whom you disagree is a "piece of degenerate slime"? You do realize that free speech and the right to protest are hallmarks of our freedoms in this country?

    But do you realize that there exists a line between protest and degeneracy?

    When BLM breaks windows, sets fires, and attacks cops - its not longer a protest.

    When ANTFIA riot, destroy property, and beat people with bike locks - its no longer a protest.

    When butthurt LGBTQQ'ers transport fecal matter to dump on a public park - its no longer a protest.

    And I laugh, literally out loud, that you would invoke free speech here when free speech is precisely what these leftist bigots are trying to hinder, what leftists everywhere have been hindering for this past year.

    Is Kaepernick promoting violence? Is he forcing anyone to do anything? Why do you say he is a degenerate? A bigot? Because he is black? Because he is against bigotry and racism? They aren't, you do realize (well that is questionable), that they are not protesting against the national anthem per se; they are protesting against racism in the US and as the national anthem is a symbol of the US, their protest is a symbolic action against racism. Not that difficult to figure out.

    Well I didn't invoke Kaepernick but I'll comment on him.

    To my knowledge hes not directly promoting violence.

    However his cause is one of anti-cop, anti-White, anti-American hate and that does indirectly promote violence so for that reason I'm happy with labeling him a degenerate and a bigot.

    As for his Black skin color, the only bearing that is in the justification liberalism has for support his bigotry and his racism.

    Now that I've shot down your attempt to side step what I've said, I'll repeat ...what I said ...for you to address:

    Do you not realize that there exists a line between protest and degeneracy?

    Sure would be nice if they were honest and took into account that many of those teams shown in those pictures are losing teams with no playoff chances (especially the Browns) or teams in cities that don't draw much attention anyway like LA. `

    So, it's your contention that the audience drop off is unrelated to the dishonoring of our anthem? In my circle, which is anecdotal evidence only, it is exactly why we aren't watching football this year. It ruined it. How can one identify with someone and enjoy watching them excel at their craft when you know they hate you and hold you in contempt?

    So they don't care and we won't be missed. That works, the feeling is mutual.

    The first thing I have to say is that your attitude and voice are aggressive and bullying. I know that nothing I will say will change what you choose to think or your attitude. So this is the last time I will address any of your posts here. There is no point in talking to someone like you. You hate liberals relentlessly, you hate blacks unless they do just what you think they should do. You have no reason to call Kaepernick a degenerate. He is simply protesting, on his own, not as part of any other organization, the treatment of blacks in our culture. Just because he is black, you cannot blame him for the behavior of any other protesters.

    You act like I'm wrong bringing up his name and say you didn't 'invoke' it when he is the topic of this thread. That makes no sense. There is no validity in accusing me of trying to 'sidestep' any issue.

    Basically, here's your approach, Archie: you are right and anyone who doesn't agree with on any level is wrong and most likely a liberal and the wrong race. You are aggressive, bullying and unpleasant and not anyone I would ever give the time of day to in real life because of those qualities.

    Well, they allied with you folks and you gleefully destroyed them, so there is that! At some point will this record make it more difficult for you to form new alliances? Nope! There is a sucker born every minute!

    Stopped reading right there.

    Hating bigots who think their skin color justifies bigotry is not "hating Blacks".

    And be reminded that it was you that invoked Kaepernick, not I.

    I wanted to talk about this (in fact this is now the third time I've copy/pasted it):

    You invoked Kaepernick because you know damned well what I said there was the truth yet, with the risk of losing the argument, you came back at me with something else as if relevancy was applied simply by the mention.

    He does not oppose the abuse of power by the police unless it is used against black people. That is not a protest against racism; it is racism. Since there is no shortage of media coverage for these players, his choice of when to protest shows disrespect for those who fought and died on the battlefield so he can run around on a playing field.

    I support his right to be an ungrateful POS racist as well as your right to support him.

    I probably paged through one or two in the 80's. Now, every once in awhile I'll get a free one sent to me for some reason. It goes into the recycle bin with plastic wrap intact. :)

    Who cares? We didn't hate them, we supported enjoyed and emotionally invested in them and they returned this with hate, malevolence and the dishonoring of us as a nation.

    So, a significant group of us have found other ways to spend our Sunday afternoons.

    Why should I give of my time and finances to someone who feels that sort of disdain for us?

    Similar to Hollywood. I keep track of every actor and actress who goes off on Conservatives in a hate-filled rant and they get no more of my time, money or attention.

    But, big deal, there are lots of other potential customers in America for them to attempt to attract and hold the attention and they are welcome to each other!

    If you can't point out when they said they hated you, it means you're lying.

    Oh...Okay then!

    Still don't feel like watching them play football anymore though. Is that okay with you?

    Good. They will need that sense of humor for when they are renewing their contracts. The players that haven't retired, uh... they are going to need their great sense of humor too!

    Anyone who questions the corporate state must be shunned.
