I would switch your order just a bit (family before country), but totally agree that the ‘other’ has no place interfering with the other priorities.

Seattle is trying make the playoffs ,,,wouldn’t it be karma if they need a back up catcher and don’t make postseason for suspending somebody speaking out saying what most baseball fans believe ,

We have an awesome minister. Tonight’s sermon was on the Power of Priority. Everything in your life should be prioritized “Under the Crown” as Jesus is the Crown. Sermon based on scriptures in Colossians. He recommended only four priorities. First is family, second is church, third and fourth are selected by individual. If life becomes overwhelming, look at what specifics are causing the issue. If it does not fall within your first four priorities, just say no and remove from your life.

Using the example of Kaepernick, rather easy to remove the issue from our family because sports is not on our top four priorities.

“You don’t post stupid things on the internet “

That’s all that really needs to be said.

When I saw that video, I commented on these boards the following:

This is the level of savagery these animals want unrestrained by the police. We are seeing their unrestrained behavior unmasked in the video. It reminds me of the movie, “ A Clockwork Orange” (1971).

"Especially if you are a backup player and a .220 hitter."

That should be added, too. LOL.

Someone shoot Colin in the kneecap and it all becomes moot. Because no one gives a damn what a former profootballer says.

Boycott the NFL: Merchandise, sponsors, and games/season tickets.

On ESPN’s show, Pardon the Interruption, liberal Tony Kornheiser and an Asian commentator substituting for liberal Wilbon both praised the penalty on Clevenger, with no hint of irony about how Kaepernick gets away scot-free. Lefty ESPN at work.

I read this in the Seattle Times and about gagged at the hypocrisy.

The NFL backs Kaepernick 100%.

The Mariners and MLB throw Clevenger under the bus for simply commenting.

Why does one third-stringer get to have First amendment rights, yet the other does not?

And for what it’s worth, I think it’s completely hypocritical that the left can express themselves freely w/ no consequences & conservatives or people who disagree w/ the other side cannot. That is sadly the way this country runs in 2016.

I agree with you Cubs Fan, I’m so damn tired of people excusing the actions taken against OUR free speech.

“Clevenger was suspended by the Mariners for the rest of the season without pay for his offensive tweets on the rioting in Charlotte. Clevenger apologized for his remarks, but the Mariners organization was appalled and acted quickly to suspend him.”

Two mistakes here:

1. SEA suspended Clevenger for exercising his 1st Amendment rights? Piss on that entire organization.

2. Clevenger should NEVER have aplogized. F that. If anything, he should be speaking out on how he’s being punished for exercising his 1st Amendment rights.

why complain about this? It’s all perfectly reasonable because he’s a banjo-hitting backup who said ‘protestors’ instead of ‘thugs’...

did you not read prior posts on this thread...?
