Righty PC hypocrites attack NFL QB.

i thought the righties hate "political correctness " and it's destroying this country . Oh, and the righties are also supposed to be more tolerant when it comes to free speech!?

But Colin Kapernick passes on the anthem and the righty PC thugs go crazy . Same with that gymnast who forgot to put her hand over her heart during the medal ceremony .

Hypocrites as usual . It's their MO.

I am especially entertained by the great boasting military types that believe we wouldn't even have a first amendment if they didn't invade Granada.
Shit, they haven't won a war since WWII and yet I'm not speaking Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish, or Arabic? How can such a thing be true if the defenders of America lose war after war and yet jack-shit changes here? Remarkable, with them defending my freedom all this time.

I should have been forced to eat kimchi, in a Ho Chi Mihn T-shirt, out of a tortilla, while praising Allah for his blessings long ago and yet here I am all happy as a clam drinking Kentucky bourbon from a bottle written in English. It seems like maybe they weren't protecting my right to grill hot dogs, download porn, and watch Wife-swap after all?

Not if you hear them tell it. No wonder so many of these poor souls kill themselves after they get out of the military. They come to the realization that what they did was all for NOTHING. The suicide rate of the recently discharged military is astonishing and a national tragedy.
Republicans don't like to talk about that.

I don't have a problem talking about how many commit suicide. What I won't entertain is the speculation put forth in the last comment as to why. Without any proof, the poster has concluded the reason. I could say it is because they serve their country and pieces of shit like that poster are ungrateful little bastards.

In other words, you think patriotism is only a matter of political correctness and that free speech means you shouldn't be held accountable for what you say.

What is more politically correct than standing for the nat anthem? The guy doesn't stand up, so what ? It literrally has no bearing to anyone other than offending their beliefs .

Right wingers act like they ain't PC , truth is they are.
Yes, his gesture was offensive to patriotic Americans, just as some one using the "n" word is offensive to black people and some one calling a woman a c**t is offensive to women or some one calling a gay man a fag is offensive. Are all these things just a matter of pc to you and insignificant because they are just offensive?

Why? He wasn't calling "patriotic Americans" c**ts, n-words or f words for gay men, he simply didn't stand for the National Anthem. What does that do to you personally? Did you write the song?

I happen to be a very patriotic American and I didn't find his gesture offensive at all. His actions don't deter from my patriotism in any way and he wasn't insulting anyone else's patriotism, he simply found a different way to express his patriotism.

Tell me, when Texas starts talking about secession, does that offend you?

How is that being a hypocrite? For a liberal to piss on dead soldiers who died for this country, so you can be an ass hole in front of 300 million plus Americans? Hey go ahead and if someone don't kick your ass. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

Actually, he didn't "piss on dead soldiers who died for this country", he simply availed himself of the rights that those soldiers died for.

And, I've got news for you...............lots of military folks (myself included, a 20 year retired Navy veteran), would support his right to express himself as he sees fit, even if it goes against what they think and believe, because they support a citizens right to free speech and peaceful demonstration.

Ditto from this 20 year Coast Guard veteran.

It's as true as the claim the idiot above said as to why they do it.
 
Yep. This is a case of right wing PC.

I don't know if they're calling for him to be punished in some way, though. If they are, then yeah, they're just as bad as the left wing PC zealots.

Many similarities in behaviors between the two ends of the spectrum.

Normal Political Correctness is the weaponization of pretend offense in order to control the conversation and prevent discussion of topics that the lefties does not want addressed because they cannot defend their positions honestly.


How is any of that relevant to the QB flap?


He did actually show disrespect to the nation. This is not a false accusation. He did not forget to stand, or had a leg cramp.

The two ends of the spectrum have different versions of PC.

Yes, the Left has essentially weaponized it, and even institutionalized it in some ways (look at your nearby college, for example). They leverage PC far more than does the Right, which usually only goes as far as what we're seeing here - complaints, insults, burning a jersey in effigy, etc.

Some on the Right go further, though, wanting to see Kaepernick punished for expressing himself. That goes too far in my book, and it does make them look hypocritical. But yes, it still pales in comparison to the behavior of the Left.

What we're seeing with this story, then, is the right wing version of PC. The left wing version is far more prevalent, virulent and counter-productive.

This man has an absolute right to sit on his ass during the National Anthem...even though he had no coherent reason for doing so.

I, and every other American, have an absolute right to never watch him again; to never pull for him; to never buy any product he may hawk.

This affair with a Quarterback, which seems so sordid to Traditional Americans, by which I mean the people, black and white, who recognize that they live in the greatest Society ever conceived...not perfect...but the best humanity has come forward with to date...reminds me of what the greatest actor of my day had to say

Paul Newman...Cool Hand Luke.

"Paul, you have never openly expressed your opinion on any political matter, why is that?

And this magnificent actor said that he had never felt that he should use the public forum granted to him by his notoriety as an actor espouse political opinions on matters he knew no more about than the most average of men.

This asshole, this poorly informed Quarterback, ought to have followed the lesson of Paul Newman..but he had a constitutional right to make a fool of himself if he wanted to...and he did.

So what, that was Paul's right. Not some law everyone else should be forced to adhere to.

To be punished for what? It's a free country.. but... he will suffer in the end for this. But, it will be due to market forces, not anything official.

Say, I am a 49er football fan, (i'm actually not, but for purposes of discussion).

If I continue to support my team, I am indirectly supporting someone who has actively disrespected me.


I WANT to enjoy football, but this a-hole has interjected politics and division into what should be a unifying pastime.


Fans IDENTIFY with their teams. That is part of getting emotionally involved in the sport.


How could any patriotic American identify with this a-hole?

I don't like what he did, I don't like what he said.

But I absolutely support his freedom of expression, and to me there is nothing more patriotic, more American, than defending it.

it has a lot to do with his reason for doing it....if this country is so repressive why is he still here?,he can afford to move anywhere....
How does that change anything he said?

there are many countries in the world more repressive than this one.....but like i said Marc.....if he thinks this country is so repressing,why doesnt he pack up and move to a place that is not as repressing....im sure there are dozens of places out there he can pick.....but im willing to bet if he did move to one of them,in many of those less repressive countries he would still be looked at as a black man and still feel repressed....

He has the right to sit and anyone has the right to criticize him. It's not very complex and I don't see the "HYPOCRISY".

I don't think race relations are the real issue. I think it's a contrivance. The black community has real issues, and it ain't whitey. Until there is an honest discussion on this, nothing will change.

That has nothing to do with white cops shooting black criminals.
