Kaepernick Rejected...Fellow NFLers Whine

[jknowgood]

Dirt bag is rejected by fans and the NFL owners. Hey asshole...should have stood up for our nation which offers the most opportunities and freedoms on earth.
NFL players slam owners in heated meeting for leaving Colin Kaepernick ‘hung out to dry,' report says

I stand with the kneelers.

I bet you do.View attachment 190163
Totally disrespectful.

Who are in those graves, dead from Vietnam, Iraq, WWII or WWI. Now that I think about it we really had no reason to fight any of those wars.

Yeah, we should've let Hitler just continue on.

Ummmmm yeah. Unfortunately pimping the national anthem at sporting events has nothing to do with cemeteries and everything to do with selling obedience, which is no doubt the hook that grabs y'all authoritarian-passives whose mission in life is to take orders without a second thought.

Once again you've demonstrated how your entire argument is an attempted Appeal to Emotion shaming with no rational basis to justify it.

 

[Pogo]

Yeah, we should've let Hitler just continue on.

I understand he had some "very fine people".

No, showing your respect for your country, should be something you want to do. Now following orders without a second thought is what Kanye did till last week. Now look at what you liberals are doing to him. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Yes, ask Kanye liberals are no different than Hitler. Stay on the plantation, or we will destroy you.

Standing "at attention" is a customary practice that is intended to indicate the players' love of country, patriotism, respect for the country's institutions (national anthem and flag).

CK chose to conspicuously decline to stand "at attention" during the playing of the Anthem because he felt he could not display "love" of country "as long as" Blacks - especially young Black men - remain the targets of a homicidal campaign by the national constabulary.

(a). He is entitled to his opinion, and if the First Amendment means anything, it means you can criticize the government without being criminally prosecuted for it. So no government instrumentality, acting in its official capacity, may prosecute CK for his opinion or the expression thereof, regardless of how unpopular it may be.

(b). His employer is a private business. His employer may take action against him if his public conduct is offensive to the customer base, unless such action is prohibited by his contract. But in this case, his employer TOOK NO ACTION AGAINST HIM. HE CHOSE to opt out of the remain years of his contract.

(c). Prospective employers may not discriminate against him for his membership in legally protected classes, to wit, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and so on. The protected classes are determined by local law. But nobody is discriminating against him because of his race, whatever that may be. They are discriminating against him because to hire him would be to invite the ire of a large percentage of the customer base.

(d). Clearly, he is the victim of discrimination. He is a more talented, and more accomplished football player than many others who have found jobs in the league. But not all discrimination is illegal or inappropriate. An NFL team could, for example discriminate against a quarterback if they conclude that he is not intelligent enough to do the job. No problem.

CK COULD, if he chose to, make a public statement that he will no longer express his political or quasi-political views in the context of his employment (when playing for or representing the team). HE COULD make a public statement that he has analyzed the relevant data and concluded that there is no statistical evidence to indicate that America's constabulary is killing Black people is disproportionate numbers, hence his protests will not be repeated.

In short, like the reporter who is jailed for contempt because he won't reveal his Source, he holds the keys to his own jail cell. If he won't use them, fuck him. He deserves what he gets.

Dumb Democrat Snowflake illogic. He's an employee. He can save his political protests for his personal time. That's how the rest of us live. He isn't special just because he's an athlete and Democrat. Capisce?

Once AGAIN no he's not an "employee", he's a contractor; once AGAIN standing for any national anthem is not required; once AGAIN there's no relationship in any of this to a "jail cell", once AGAIN you don't know what his political party affiliation is or if he even has one, and once AGAIN it already *IS* his personal time,the anthem being not only foisted there by fake-patriotism pimps but also not in any way part of the game he's contracted to play.

See what I mean Montrovant ? Here's another kkklown who wants to JAIL --- literally JAIL, his own term --- a United States citizen for refusing to kiss (up to) the flag. Exactly the same thing that Montana mob did to Earnest Starr. Go ahead and pretend not to understand how it's the same thing. Bring all the Nazi deflections you like.

No, showing your respect for your country, should be something you want to do.

EXACTLY. You just hit the nail squarely on the head and in the process destroyed your own position.

Exactly right, a patriotism display has to be voluntary and not a robotic prescribed exercise under penalty of public shaming or, as in the last post, "JAIL" because that's fucking fascism. That's why foisting it on a captive audience who only came out to enjoy a sporting event is fucking BULLSHIT.

Thank you for letting that sink in. Finally.

Indeed, this is the whole point here --- standing up to salute something because you genuinely FEEL it is a whole different ball game, pun intended, from standing up because you're following orders to do so. The latter cheapens and delegitimizes the entire process. THERE is where the disrespect is. Yet I don't see you hammering the Pentagon for spending taxpayer money to pimp this kind of shit, and I don't see you calling out fascists like Donald Rump for rousing other fascists with "fire the sumbitches". Can you link me to those posts?

Now following orders without a second thought is what Kanye did till last week.

I have no idea what that means or "what Kanye did last week", whoever that is.

Now look at what you liberals are doing to him. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Liberalism founded this country, wrote its Constitution, guarantees freedom of expression and OPPOSES fascism whenever it rears its head. THAT is where your "respect" belongs, not in some demagoguery about pimed fake-patriotism charades. If that's what gets you wet, go live in North Fucking Korea.

Correct.

Someday when you're old enough to fill out a 1040 this will all become clear. Maybe. Meanwhile you may want to look up "contract" to see how they work. For example if you hire an athlete on a contract, you can break that contract, but you still have to pay him. If you did so on as silly a basis as this malarkey, you'd only be shooting yourself in the foot.

To begin with, you're quoting two different posters there, but doing it as if it is only one person talking.

Anyway, to start at the end, the poster is comparing Kaepernick to a reporter jailed for contempt. He did not explicitly call for protesters to be jailed. If that was his intent, then sure, I see the Nazi comparison. Of course, you made those comparisons in regards to the entire group of people who oppose sitting/kneeling during the anthem, but if you want to ignore that, go ahead.

It is not "personal time" when the national anthem is being played; NFL players are working at that point. That is clearly the context here: whether a person is working or not. When NFL players are wearing their uniforms at a stadium prior to the start of a game, they are "at work."

I don't know if Kaepernick has ever claimed a particular political affiliation, you're right with that.

Players are not required to stand during the anthem; or at least they are not required to do so by the league. Again, you're right there.

If your point was that some people think standing for the anthem should be legally mandatory, or that failure to stand should result in physical punishments/assault, or similar sentiments, I've never even attempted to deny that such people are out there. I have said, and continue to say, that trying to compare everyone who thinks people should stand during the playing of the national anthem to Nazis, or lynchings, etc. is a poor tactic which hurts your argument.
