Pretty much. Just hate it when hypocrites think that only they have free speech and nobody else. Oh and, the constant cultural obsession with what black people do or say
I'm only speaking for myself, of course, but I couldn't care less what black people do or say. I just want to enjoy sports when I turn on a game and not see anything politically motivated.
And news flash - none of this is advancing any cause whatsoever. If they really wanted to do that, they'd round up a handful of the superstars and go before Congress asking why nothing happens when the DOJ investigates a police department and finds corruption. They would show a photo of Laquan McDonald who was shot in the back 17 times as he walked away from the middle of the street where the cops were all standing. They'd mention the year-long cover-up in Chicago. And they would ask that someone sponsor and write a bill requiring annual psychological testing of cops, better training and ongoing retraining, and independent reviews of misconduct. Hold their feet to the fire.
Taking a knee has zero positive impact, and so all of this seems to be nothing more than grandstanding.
personally i think payday loan businesses need to be either heavily regulated, IE usery laws reestablished across the nation, or banished forever. that said, as long as the business is still legal then they should be able to buy ad time from whomever will sell it to them.
We don't need government to run our daily lives. No ones forcing anyone to get a loan

I would be happy to see the NFL go under. College football is far better in my opinion and they don't have a lot of dummies getting rich playing. I think it is ridiculous what these people get paid.
What a silly post.
Who do you think dictates how much these athletes get paid, or eventually get paid (watching college football)?
So, who's the dummy, then?

I know my post required a deeper level of thinking, so let me rephrase it for you. There's a difference between "not watching" and wanting to force your opinions on others.
So when people, including Captain Bonespurs, say players should be "fired", that's not wanting to prohibit their constitutional right? Or when people say they should be deported? The NFL currently does not "fire" players for these protests.
Because of that, there are those who are boycotting until the NFL changes its stance on these types of protests, which would effectively take the right away from the players. If a player kneels, he loses his job. Not because the NFL already had this rule established, but because of the pressure of boycotting fans who are "offended". Does that sound familiar to you?
I don't have a problem with their counter protest, or else I would be advocating for the counter protesters to lose their job, come under attack, etc. I couldn't clear less if people don't want to watch football. I don't get easily offended like others obviously do. It's their right.
I'm just calling it out as I see it. The blatant hypocrisy. None of which you addressed. Shocking.
I know deflection is all you usual suspects have, but it doesn't work. Time for a new game plan.
