Now we have NHL!

Tampa has a lot of people who will not like this!

Jeff Vinek may want to consider fast what to do about this!

Gee, get it right if you're going to be outraged. JT Brown didn't kneel, he raised his fist during the anthem.

Fake news, he didn't kneel. This is why you shouldn't blindly rely on everything you see on the internet, OP.

I hope it is fake news!

Local Tampa news reported that he took a knee!

But either way it is both disrespectful and protesting should be outside of sports!

The fist sign is actually a sign of BLM which is a group of people who preaches hate against cops and that's actually not something to be proud off.

This evening we saw how 15 police cars showed up for a car accident as well as other first responders. All these first responders were out there helping and directing traffic in the dark.

They are there to help right away and this was compared to Las Vegas or 9/11 a situation so small that it not comparable but cops and other first responders act right away.

Anyone who works can make an error and so can they make an error. However, proven is that when BLM started with their outrage was for proven cases where criminals attacked cops!

Any group or people who yell or preach " fry them...." about cops, should be treated as what they are!

To me, anyone who justify that behavior is similar! JMO

Yes, he didn't kneel, he raised a fist in the air.

What is the difference? They are both a disrespect to the cops/first responders, our flag/country and our servicemen who risk their lives and have died for our beautiful country. It is a disgrace and they are a disgrace for doing this.

I applaud Pence for leaving! Silent protest to not stay is a great way to show what he stands for. I believe that one of his kids is in the army and even if that wasn't the case it shows Pence cares about respect!

You think the flag and the anthem is only for servicemen? What about everyone else in the country, they arent part of "Liberty and justice for all"?

Oh I get it, youve never been harrassed by government, so you cant comprehend why anyone would complain about the government, so you think their stories arent true, and youre using the military for the argument because you dont want to research the reason for the protest? Am I close?

Newp. You're just a liberal singing the same song, "My Country's Always Wrong...."

The protest started in response to events if Ferguson, MO, during which a thug was shot as a police officer protected himself.
Subsequent investigations showed the shooting was justified.
