NFL team owners now have to figure out how to mitigate damage to their business if players keep protesting and it alienates fans.
“They also have the responsibility to suffer the consequences, whatever they may be,” Pat added. “As ratings go down and they continue to anger more and more fans, it’s going to affect the bottom line.”
Jeffy pointed out that it’s an issue of perception as well. Some people will always see the protest as a form of disrespect for the flag and the national anthem, regardless of what the players intend to say by kneeling.
Watch: NFL players have the right to protest – but here’s the other side of the story
Only a fool or a liar can look at someone kneeling during the National Anthem and not see that they are disrespecting the flag, the Nation, and Americans as a whole.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there it is again for the umpteenth time ---- they can't answer the question so all they can come up with is "only a fool can't see it". The lame old "everybody knows" fallacy.
It's so obvious they can't explain it. Because it doesn't exist.
SMH
I've repeatedly explained it, you liar.
Standing during the Anthem is a ritual showing Patriotism.
Kneeling instead is an active refusal to join in, thus showing anti-Patriotism.
Kaepernick has verbally clarified that that was his intent for those who did not understand, and I have repeatedly posted his quote on the subject.
You lie about this, because it is your only defense.
You can't defend his actions, so you have to lie about what they clearly are.
Stop wasting all our time.
Why are you so invested in this guy? Just admit that he is an ass and let's move on.
THis does not undermine ANY actual issues, that you are invested in.
Admitting Trump was right this one time, is that really so scary to you?
