I Stand Because They Can’t: Fuck NFL

[Bush92]

It is very simple. Men who wore the uniform of this nation and died for our freedom...or men who wear a uniform and want to spew their mouth off about what a bad nation we are.

You mean like codpiece George who dodged Vietnam?
As the old joke goes "if you are not smart enough to get a real job, join the military" great socialist benefits

I hate the NFL. Until the Steelers play in an hour. Go Steelers.

 

[Bush92]

Have not watched NFL game in years. Have former students playing in NFL as I write this. Cowards all. Never wore the uniform.

They stand for what?

 

[aaronleland]

It's a game played by 20-somethings that entertains millions on a boring Sunday afternoon. Quit your fucking whining.

I don't want them to stand for anything. I want them to entertain me for a couple hours. Politics doesn't pollute my entire life.

I remember a former POW from Pittsburgh who was under Japanese captivity after fall of Philippines. He came into 1942 about 170 lbs. He came out of 1945 about 65lbs. I will not watch NFL. They are scum as far as I’m concerned.

You are an idiot. Those people you put down their lives fight and stand a Post for your freedom everyday coward. Their uniform...even though they don’t get paid millions...is far superior to yours.

/----/ And don't forget John McCain.

McCain's capture and subsequent imprisonment occurred on October 26, 1967. He was flying his 23rd bombing mission over Hanoi in North Vietnam when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile.[34][35] McCain fractured both arms and a leg when he ejected from the aircraft,[36] and nearly drowned after he parachuted into Trúc Bạch Lake.[34] Some North Vietnamese pulled him ashore, then others crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt and bayoneted him.[34] McCain was then transported to Hanoi's main Hỏa Lò Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton".[35]

Although McCain was seriously wounded and injured, his captors refused to treat him. They beat and interrogated him to get information, and he was given medical care only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a high-ranking admiral.[37] His status as a prisoner of war (POW) made the front pages of major newspapers.[38][39]

McCain spent six weeks in the hospital, where he received marginal care.[34] He had lost 50 pounds (23 kg), was in a chest cast, and his gray hair had turned as white as snow.[34] McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi.[40] In December 1967, McCain was placed in a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live more than a week.[41] In March 1968, McCain was placed into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.[42]

In mid-1968, his father John S. McCain Jr. was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and the North Vietnamese offered McCain early release[43] because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes,[44] and also to show other POWs that elite prisoners were willing to be treated preferentially.[43] McCain refused repatriation unless every man taken in before him was also released. Such early release was prohibited by the POWs' interpretation of the military Code of Conduct which states in Article III: “I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy”.[45] To prevent the enemy from using prisoners for propaganda, officers were to agree to be released in the order in which they were captured.[34]

Beginning in August 1968, McCain was subjected to a program of severe torture.[46] He was bound and beaten every two hours; this punishment occurred at the same time that he was suffering from dysentery.[34][46] Further injuries led McCain to attempt suicide, which was stopped by guards.[34] Eventually, McCain made an anti-U.S. propaganda "confession".[34] He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he later wrote, "I had learned what we all learned over there: every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine."[47][48] Many U.S. POWs were tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements;[49] virtually all of them eventually yielded something to their captors.[50] McCain received two to three beatings weekly because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements.[51]

McCain refused to meet various anti-war groups seeking peace in Hanoi, wanting to give neither them nor the North Vietnamese a propaganda victory.[52] From late 1969, treatment of McCain and many of the other POWs became more tolerable,[53] while McCain continued actively to resist the camp authorities.[54] McCain and other prisoners cheered the U.S. "Christmas Bombing" campaign of December 1972, viewing it as a forceful measure to push North Vietnam to terms.[48][55]

McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years until his release on March 14, 1973.[56] His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.[57]

sooooooo they fought so you can cut off people's right to protest.....

which has zero to do with the military. but the false equivalency is hysterically funny.

Embattled NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is getting support for his silent protest from an unlikely place: US military veterans.
