Ok, one example, but Jenkins destroyed all the good he did by kneeling at the first preseason game. Yes, the DOJ and FBI are corrupt, much of the corruption happened under Obama, you tell me, did he condone it or try to stop it?
Yes, no Trump has been shot unarmed------------yet.
This is why there is no reason in talking to a Trump supporter
I just showed you an example of a NFL player doing something beyond anthem protests, and you still find a way to say "yea, but..."
Then in the very same comment, despite a Trump official never being shot while unarmed, never being beaten into a confession while in custody -- you still claim that its the DOJ that is corrupt and how black NFL players should be quiet
I think they should protest if they feel motivated to do so. But not during a football game and to disgrace the national anthem, the flag, the military, and everyone who died protecting their right to protest.
These people died protecting the entire Constitution...EVERYTHING in it. And in the Constitution is the Right to Free Speech and Expression.
Now...are these players exercising their right to free speech and freedom of expression?
Yes or No?
NO, not while on the job. When on the job the employer tells you what is acceptable and unacceptable. Those guys are being PAID by the owners and the fans to play a game.
When you go to work are you allowed to stop working and protest?
That, my ignorant friend, is the point. They are employees, the fans pay to watch them play a game. Its neither the time or place to express whatever grievances they think they have.
Aside from the fact that racism is so embedded in America that whenever someone protests racism, idiots like yourself think they are protesting America, I will leave that aside..
First off, I would not work for a company who feels me standing for a daily pledge is pertinent to me doing my job....second, if I did, and decided still protest, I will accept the punishment, which in the case of the NFL is a fine.
Furthermore, there is never a time to protest injustice in the mind of those who don't feel there is any injustice to protest -- this desire by conservatives to feel they can decide how someone is supposed to exercise their constitutional rights is not new...their desire to try to shield their indifference to injustice by hiding behind the flag and the troops is nothing new too
Back after WW2 --- black troops coming home from liberating Europeans overseas were still treated as second class here -- and if they protested that, do you think them wearing a solider's uniform garnered them any respect? No, in fact, black soldiers were often beaten for wearing that uniform -- so no, we don't need those who argue that there is no injustice at all to tell us how we should protest if we choose to.
When all of those "so-called" tea partiers were putting on their funny little hats because Obama became president, I didn't mind -- I just thought it was silly to be protesting "socialism" by demanding Obama to keep his hands off their Medicare
