So you are saying that we should only apply free speech to things that everyone agrees are not disrespectful? What the hell is the point.

What you just described is the very definition of political correctness.

Closet racists exists in all walks of life. Imagine how the black firefighters must feel under this guy's "leadership".

Conservatives don't need to know what they are mad about.

And that sure is happening.

I dabble over here just a little bit, but I'm mostly a member of conservatives sites.

About 90% of everyone is so done with the NFL, it's un-believable.

The NBA and MLB ain't far behind.

Time will tell. It will be interesting watching the fan count in the near future.

May the best side win.

Trump's involvement is only about his failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills and the NFL shutting him out, well that and the insulting $3.00 settlement he received as part of his failed 1980's anti-trust suit

Good question...that was just awful. Not sure how he thought this would help his cause.

It's as simple as that.
I don't know who originally said it, but:


"Saying that the national anthem protests are about disrespecting the flag, is like saying Rosa Parks was protesting public transportation". (paraphrasing because I saw it in passing online)

Political correctness or incorrectness are styles and have nothing to do with the substance of whether atletes are entitled to exercise First Amendment rights on the field.
