It’s just lip service. He knows, as does everyone else, that protesting the anthem is a slight against America

If you protest racial injustice and police brutality, you protest America....period

 

[BULLDOG]

Of course it's wrong to call players who take a knee unpatriotic, but when has being wrong stopped Trump or any right winger from doing anything?

Not so much now as it was in the past, but that's what the right is trying so hard to restore. It's a big part of what they call making America great again.

Protesting the national anthem in the name of racial justice, would be like me protesting the simpsons because I don’t like cnn. It’s misdirected rage, and hostility towards a country that has given these spoiled brats so much

Ask the person who is doing the protest

They say they do it to call attention to social injustice

Well no. It's nothing like that.

Nothing is more American than peaceful protest.

You don't have to like it, or agree with it, to support it.

It's a shame that even has to be said.

The anthem has nothing to do with racial injustice. After drawing the ire so many Americans following their protests, they should have had the common decency to change their platform. All these protests have done has divided the country.

The NFL is perfectly within its rights to allow or prevent the protests since the players are employees on the job, and fans are perfectly within their rights to applaud, ignore, boycott, or complain that the protests are unpatriotic. That's America.

Liberals have made this red herring about freedom of speech through this whole controversy. It’s very dishonest
