I am so sick of this shit.

[Slade3200]

You just said the problem. What is the goal and how do they want to get there?

The goal is to bring attention to the fact that too many Black kids are dying at the hands of the people we pay not to be criminals.

They want to get there by having Blacks make sure they do everything they can to remain safe around cops, know their rights, and impress upon the PD's to change the type of people they hire.

They’ve got the attention... that’s what the last couples years have been about. Now they need to drill down on practical ways to get done what needs to get done. If the solution is to educate kids on how to act, bridge law enforcement better with communities and hire better people then there needs to be an organized way to do that which people can support.

Thats already being done. Dont take this the wrong way but this is exactly what I dont get about white people. How do you not know this is already in the works?

What’s the name of the organizations the NFL players are supporting that are undertaking these actions? How do I go donate money or my time to help? If seen great efforts that individual players take on but not a cohesive cause with a goal.

There are hundreds of them. Just go online and google them.

Thanks for the link. I hadn’t heard of the “Let’s listen together” initiative. I have heard of many of the player efforts that were highlighted in your link, which are all great causes. I hope they take it to the next level and create a better branding and marketing campaign around Let’s Listen Together. They should have a website, donation and volunteer opportunities, and clear measurable goals.

Wouldn’t it be a great day if a goal could be defined and reached and on that Sunday both Cops and Players can all stand together during the anthem? That’s a goal that we should all get behind.

No need to donate money fool. The money is coming out of the pools of OTHER CHARITIES.

Breast cancer, wounded warrior and the like.

Taking money for real needs and shoveling it to people like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.

A sham of epic proportions.

It really doesn’t sound like you know what you’re talking about

Thanks for proving my point

 

[JimBowie1958]

Me, too. Dolphins are no longer my team, sadly

Leaving a team you have been loyal to for years is painful in weird ways.

Thank God leaving the Cowboys about 6 years ago has made it much easier for me to drop watching the NFL; I havent seen a single quarter of play this year.

 

[skye]

Both sides are like a bunch of fucking children.

And for a national news/punditry program to lead with it just goes to show that the side shows are more important to the hacks on both sides rather than the real issues we face as a nation.

No

I am sick of only one side


Why do you include the conservatives ?



You are so wrong!!!!!!!



WE ARE SICK OF ONLY THOSE WHO KNEEL



OK?????????????



make your sickness clear ok?

If youre sick stop watching it. Why are you sick of people expressing their beliefs by protesting?

It's called show respect something loser KNEELERS know nothing about.

Hypccrites go around screaming " RESPECT" yet don't give it to others who died for you scum bag fks to kneel like bitches.

Real men stand bitches kneel.

Fuck the anthem. Whats respectable about it?

why the fuck are you still here? If you hate America and what it stand for, Cuba is open, go there you worthless Socialist fuck. We don't want you here....

Why I am I still here? Because I like giving lice heads like yourself indigestion. I have no problem with americans. I just dont like recessive racists. I dont care if you dont want me here. I already know that. The problem is you dont have the balls to make me leave.

You seem obsessed with lice:

If there is a new anthem that would be great. However, since its author was a racist we need a new one. Besides there is zero reason to basically be praying to a flag.

They only get it when they go to school with whites. Every single time there was a lice warning in our childrens school the kid was white. Mind you that they went to school with majority Indians and Mexicans. Sorry.

Oh come on, that’s taking it a step too far. Are we really going to start digging into the personal views of every historical artist who created music, art, buildings and everything else that might still exist in today’s society and then dismiss everything that was created by the hands of people we think may have had unsavory personal views? That’s ridiculous.

The anthem is not racist, it doesn’t stand for racism, it has no undertones or messages that reflect racial matters. It is what it is. You shouldn’t make more out of it than that

There is a third verse to the star spangled banner and it can be considered offensive.

I agree with Slade; the song isn't 'racist'. Including the third verse. And the personal philosophies of its author are irrelevant here. The actual issue with the song is worse than racism: it glorifies war, the ultimate human Failure. It creams its jeans about "conquer we must". That's just primitive, and long overdue to be moved past. If that's the ideal one wants to represent one's country, one's priorities are seriously fucked up.

I also agree wholeheartedly with this:

Besides there is zero reason to basically be praying to a flag.

Amen to that. Preach it brother.

Standing zombie-like offering incantations to a piece of cloth is even more primitive, and the only thing worse is forcing other people to do it too. Like schoolchildren. Like captive audiences at a sports event who came there for an entirely different purpose. All that is is indoctrination by use of idolatry. We were supposed to have evolved beyond that state centuries ago.

​

Fun Fact: >> Originally, Bellamy's pledge had included the phrase "one nation, indivisible, with equality, liberty, and justice for all." But several state school superintendents objected to the word "equality," since they were afraid it might be "misconstrued" to seem applicable to women and people of color. So Bellamy removed it. << ---Roots of the Pledge of Allegiance

I see no reason to falsely celebrate anyone that has done dirt. Maybe my standards are high but I dont apologize for that. I see that as a virtue. I think its not only more ridiculous to pretend these people were great patriots we should be worshipping, I think its dangerous and foolhardy. I think it sends a terrible message to kids. The truth should be known about all these false idols.

The anthem is definitely racist. It celebrates killing Black people that fought to free themselves from slavery. You cant get anymore racist than that.

I have no clue who wrote the song or what their personal views were nor do I care. I bet most people have no clue either. And guess what, neither do you. You read something somewhere about the songs writer so you might think you know but you really don’t unless you had first hand experience. It’s a wormhole that is pointless to go down unless you are trying to light a fire of hate and division. It’s a song. Different people interpret it differently. Pogo interprets it as an anthem that glorifies war, that’s fair, but I’d see it differently. I’ve always heard it and reflected on those who died so that we could have a free nation, as well as those who have historically sacrificed so that we can all be here to live this day. This includes service members, our ancestors and the many others that have contributed to this great country.

There is no right and wrong way to interpret a song. You can decide to view it however you want. I just prefer to reflect on elements of this country that I love and respect when I hear the anthem and it makes it a beautiful experience.
