So given the facts as to why the players are kneeling, you choose to ignore that fact and choose a reality where you are offended by a fairy tale.
As a combat vet and former Police Officer it's irrelevant what people think bout me when I'm doing my job, I have a professional standard of behavior and that is what mattered.
No one owes me anything for the choices I made and the athletes owe you nothing while legally exercising their Constitutional Rights.
Nope, I don't care what you think...being white is not an excuse for being ignorant.
So who said anything to your self righteous ass? You are so ignorant you don't even understand what the first amendment says and yet you have the balls to self-righteously lecture me.
Of course you don't care what anyone else thinks you're definitely a liberal. It's their way of the highway, BTW that is the definition of a bigot.
Now get educated: The first amendment does not give you the right to say anything you want at any time. It merely protects you from the government stopping your protest against the government. Slander someone and you could find out real fast if it is a right or not.
How many players kneeled in protest or hid like women in the tunnel weeks prior to Trump saying what he said? Virtually NONE. And many said they NEVER would. Yet they did after Trump, so what does that tell you they were really protesting? And if you want to wrongly say that the players have some made up right to protest then doesn't Trump have the same made up right?
So no, the protest has nothing to do with social injustice, it has to do with spoiled millionaires not liking being told what they should do. And you support that. And as long as you live in your box not giving a crap about anyone else's opinion that does not meet your standard, you will be a bigot.
