    So you can't explain. Got it. Puts you in good company with the other posters who can't explain either.

    I will keep pointing out that you are consistently incapable of justifying your statements. First you fail to actually understand hate speech. Then you can't explain why kneeling is disrespecting soldiers and then you finally couldn't explain why kneeling is disrespecting the national anthem. So far your batting average is zero.

    Really so he didn't get out of the draft with a phony doctor's note about a bone spur despite the fact that he had no problem playing sports with that imaginary bone spur.

    Its obvious that Trump has emboldened the boors and bullies. The police arrest black criminals just as they arrest white, Hispanic and Asian criminals. There is cause to protest shooting unarmed criminals.

    Are you an American Indian? My family has been here since 1624 ....

    You sure sound like you are full of hatred on this thread. Are you envious of black athletes?

    I love the way you quote scripture when you are spewing hate, envy and racism. BTW... I am white Christian and conservative.

    Since the Chargers left SD and came to LA (closer to me actually which is funny) I have absolutely stopped caring about football.

    The recent political BS that is being inserted makes me not want to watch any games at all, let alone pick another team. I simply just do not care enough about football to let these absolute morons "teach me" things bout schoolan!

    Lebron's comment made me literally spit out soda when I started laughing

    LeBron Lames quote:

    Lebron James wins the ironic statement of the week.

    "I don't think a lot of people was educated" said James, boasting a maximum level of education of high school in which he finished with a 2.8 GPA, and after making an obvious grammatical error in this sentence. In fact, his other three sentences had incorrect grammar as well. Please, tell us more Lebron."

    Why are we listening to these athletes? I have met quite a few of them and am close friends with an offensive lineman who is a Pro Bowler as well as two starting NBA players'. They are super fun guys, but will admit themselves that they are absolute morons intelligence wise.

    It is sad that so many people look up to people like LeBron for anything other than his supreme basketball skills, which are undeniable (I am on 'Team Kobe' so I hate saying that!!!!)

    But yeah, athletes opening their mouth does nothing but make them look like idiots 99% of the time and that is why I am so frustrated that political BS has found it's way so heavily into football and ESPN in general.

    I personally care a lot less, not about the politics, but just that it is being inserted in the conversation.

    I am only in one fantasy league this year and have noticeably seen a drop in my "give a shyte level". I will be curious to see if the NFL ratings continue to drop, I personally think they will as the majority of people I speak with are EXTREMELY against the kneeling and "ant-american flag" stuff going on.

    People keep saying that it has nothing to do with the flag and it is about racism, but if that were the case they should do it in a different way. The way they are doing it looks extremely disrespectful to the United States flag and all the military people (and other 'normal people') have lost all respect for those idiots protesting the flag/anthem

    Not that it matters as I am a single person, but football has pretty much lost me. I am curious to see how many others agree as we get to see the ratings numbers continue to fall.

    It is amazing that you guys call out Trump's bullying as you have people over and over calling him literally retarded or whatever else.

    When you are such a hypocrite nobody cares what you say since calling Trump a bully as opposed to what his opponents say is laughable at best.

    He's certainly not very bright.. and he most assuredly is a bully. He trying to get even with the NFL because he failed to force a merger on the in 1984.

    Disrespect by not standing is an unexplainable concept except through comparison, which I have done twice with the courtroom an handshake examples.

    But these NFL players knew they were being disrespectful, otherwise their protests would garner no attention. Attention was and is their goal, and my point is they are despicable for their willingness to pursue that attention at the cost of offending others who have nothing to do with their cause. They join others with the same mindset: terrorists.

    Did Trump tell you that black athletes who kneel are "terrorists"?

    Probably when they go home. On the field, they wear socks that show police officers as pigs and bacon.

    You are projecting again. Why don't you wait until Trump tells you what to think?

    Projecting what? I'm not the one wearing socks that depict police officers as pigs and bacon. Those are the football players you just referenced. Don't like the answer? Don't ask the question.

    I didn't say they were and neither did Trump. But they share part of their mindset: calling attention to one's cause regardless of the cost to those not connected or responsible for one's grievances by use of mass media.

    Your hate speech doesn't work on me. None of your nazi type card carrying does either. This is how dictators silence those who disagree with them act.

    I guess you think this is not racist of this Sea Hawk player Bennit giving black power fist after sacking white 49ers player.

    I don't care what you are because if your a person on the planet you are not where you started from. Not one person is where we all started. No telling who indians killed to take over part of the land here. There is proof there were europeans here probably Vikings first. What happened to them?
