While the self serving and self congratulatory overpaid morons on the football field kneel, brave police officers from Las Vegas were seen running to the scene of the carnage, standing tall and directing people away from the scene while gunfire rained down everywhere around them. Brave officers also stormed the Mandalay and the room where this shooter was running mad, finally ending his life.
Not in the sense that the flag represents everything there is about a country.

My take is that Boyer was convinced that Kaepernick was going to make, and will continue to make, public statements regarding how he feels. Boyer wanted Kaepernick to have some kind of tone down gesture that would be an acceptable compromise between public statement and basic respect for the national symbol. Burning the flag during the national anthem would have ended Kaepernick's career in the NFL with no second chance like he is trying to get now via free agency. Kneeling was the best solution Boyer could offer.

He ended his own life. As for the rest of your screechy screed, cops aren't shooting unarmed NFL black guys, they're shooting regular Joe unarmed black guys. The fact the NFLers are incurring your wrath for the sake of regular Joe black guy would indicate that they are in fact NOT self-serving.

Good Post
In fact these brave Police officers, should get paid with those idiot FOOTBALL PLAYERS DO!
These officers and others, were seen running into the direction of GUNFIRE, just to save others, did not care about RACE, RELIGION, GENDER, OR ONES'S POLITICAL VIEW, they ran into a chaotic scene just to save people's lives.
These brave people all stood up and stood up TALL!
A sport is a sport for every person to enjoy and love, keep politics out of it.
The American Right, masters at the false equivalency of confusing totally irrelevant issues and getting all high and mighty about it! You go boys, enjoy the view from up on that high horse!!!
I love me some NFL and I don't find it all difficult to get past whatever brief display the players want to make on the behalf of other, less fortunate people, and enjoy my games. My Redskins are gonna paste the Chiefs tonight and I'm gonna get just as much pleasure out of the game regardless of who does what in those few minutes while the Anthem is playing. I win!

Politics have LONG been a part of sports - like it or not. This is not new.

You just come along, categorically state your unsupported (and incorrect) OPINION as fact, and expect that it's over? Do those tactics prove successful in your real life interactions with people? I suspect not.
