No, it is about what they are protesting as well as when they are protesting!
Well keep trying to make the sale then because you’re still failing.
Try harder or try smarter.
Don’t get mad if you’re failing to make your point.
Reagan the Great Communicator said it’s the communicator’s sole responsibility to make sure he is understood.
And they are going to continue to kneel down during the Anthem since no one will notice them before it.
So, this is far from over.
Same message, but applied to deceive. Jerry Jones just fowled his nest. This is worse than doing it openly. He sought to ‘dis’ the vet, cops, history, by disguise. He fools no-one.. He didn’t even say thanks to the citizens of Arlington as he bent them over the pickle barrel. “Better put some ice on it “ is the best we will get from the money grubber thief.
Evidently you didn’t read my post or understand it...geez.
Police brutality? These NFL folks have a national spotlight once a week for sixteen weeks, and they're protesting police brutality?
Not to say there is absolutely *no* police brutality. But is it endemic? A pandemic? Are more US citizens (read: minorities, because that is what this is really all about anyway) affected by police brutality than by crime, poverty, drug abuse, failing public schools?
If they take a knee for any of the *real* scourges in our society, then maybe I'll give them a pass (pun!). But police brutality? You've got to be kidding!
Just for example, how many thousands of minorities have been gunned down in Chicago by black-on-black crime in recent years? Yet Rahm Emanuel and the ruling Democrats get a pass (pun!).
Police brutality? I'd dare say the minority citizens in Chicago would just love for some police brutality on the gang-banger thugs that scourge the Chicago streets.
All of which is to say, this is not really about police brutality. That is what they want *you* to think, so that you'll be supportive. Those *in the know* know that it is about something completely different.
It’s an odd game being played out.
A collection of mostly millionaires on the field...run by millionaire coaches, millionaire general managers, and hyped up by sport journalists hoping to someday be a millionaires. The same thing can be said for the NBA.
It’s mostly all non-millionaires supporting this whole pyramid scheme. You help the viewer count on TV, pay the $131 Chicago Bears tickets, buy the $300 Bears leather jacket, and lay out $120 for a couple of beers and hamburgers at some game.
I have never attended an NFL game in my life. Now is a great time not to start.
Was my initial reaction but they all rose for the Anthem - would have preferred them to put hands over hearts but Obama already set that piss poor example.....
Note to the Cowboys: Wanna know who everyone reviles? People who try to have it both ways.
Why don’t you take that up with NFL? My post was about Constitution and Flag/Anthem...and I have nothing more to say2
agree
I am a VETERAN, A PATRIOT, AND I agree w most of FR. I only corrected a lie and received the brunt of most angry FRs, who never stop and think before speaking...
As Conservatives we should respect Constitution, and FLAG/ANTHEM. Protesting isn’t real issue... but is protected in our Constitution I explained what really happened, as NEWS MEDIA was saying Cowboys did it during Anthem, FAKE NEWS! And it was meant to make people go crazy and fight about it!
Even the title of this article is wrong, they did not do it during ANTHEM! Truth should be important instead of going around condemning people who agree with you on subject!
“searchworks”
Wrong. No one else here posted a direct link to a video of the event to start a thread.
