tell me genius.....of the 195 countries in the world, what country do their athletes do this and the people of that country let them disrespect their flag and national anthem by a few rich spoiled athletes that want attention and call it a "noble" cause apart from the U.S. by the left.




I speak with Mexican and Brazilian friends and they tell me if any of their athletes do that to their national anthem and flag that they are done. They wouldn't have a career and they would have to move out of the country.....and those countries are more corrupt and messed up than the USA and even they know you don't bring your personal beef and politics and disrespect the flag the national anthem of the country.....if they get it, why can't you and the left of this country?
Funny, when I speak with my Mexican and Brazilian friends they wonder why trump has his knickers in a knot over this when he should be concentrating on more important issues.

b.s....this is a 1 sided report under the Obama justice department and Holder. I take these reports with a grain of salt because nobody in the Police force, in general, were found guilty in a court of law what you are accusing all of them in general.




If these athletes were serious, they would go to each of these communities which most are run by blacks and Democrats to work with the community and law enforcement and to deal with the high crime rate and gang violence which it's a war zone in many black communities....but they don't....all they want to blame is the cops and get on tv every Sunday and it's about them and ignore the rest.

So you're calling a Green Beret, someone who FOUGHT and could've died for this country, unpatriotic? Interesting.


Funny how a true patriotic thought it was a respectful thing to do why fake patriots, traitors, and the treasonous think its an offense. Maybe there's some things you want to say

The NFL is beneficary to huge tax subsidies across the USA, money flows through to them via forced cable subscriptions to "bundles" all protected by copyright law, and the lobby special laws that keep them the current owners in monopoly position.

So yes it is an issue for those paying for all of that to watch the "stars" come out and disrespect the USA, America and Americans on the world stage.


I congratulate Trump for calling it what it is. And if you are listening to Mexicans & Brazilians about America, well that's really your issue.

Didn't even make that connection LOL. The Mexican people I speak to absolutely hate Trump. Latino people have been abused as well. Especially in some border communities. Middle Eastern people as well, now that I think about it.

I don't think this is going the way he wanted it to.

that's because none of their athletes are disrespecting their flag and national anthem.....try it......go to Las Vegas or Los Angeles at a boxing event either at the weigh-in or event night and disrespect the Mexican Flag and kneel during the Mexican anthem and see if you make it alive out of the event and that's just here....go try that $hit in Mexico or Brazil and tell them you are doing it for a "noble" cause to expose government corruption and violence in those countries......I will pay you.





Try it!...you won't! that's the hypocrisy of all this.

funny, that's the ignorance of all of this....they (I guess you speak for all Mexicans and Latinos) allegedly hate more Trump than their own Mexican government that has their country in ruins and forced them to come here illegally.....that makes sense.


but go kneel and disrespect their flag and national anthem in public and see how they react and tell me they would take it lightly or let it go......try it!

So this is your reasoning in ALL cases where a "court" rules something? Just to be clear.


If these athletes were serious, they would go to each of these communities which most are run by blacks and Democrats to work with the community and law enforcement and to deal with the high crime rate and gang violence which it's a war zone in many black communities....but they don't....all they want to blame is the cops and get on tv every Sunday and it's about them and ignore the rest.
They actually do a TON of community service work. That's well documented. The Tennessee Titans, where Jurrel Casey was to speak out to say he was protesting, had a practice cancelled and went to train with the local PD. Guess what? Casey as well as others who've protested were there. Personally, I've had police who've seen the problem and supported the cause. Even a police chief.

I honestly think its coming down to those who are oblivious to the issue for whatever reason(might be a majority), and the truly racists and hateful. Those who know what's going on and want to enable it.


Obama was not completely in support of this issue. By the way. I can provide several examples.

I haven't read the entire thread. Any ideas on the actual number of protesting players? I heard there were exactly zero at the Panthers'_bills game.
