Amazing the lies that people will believe just because they saw it on the internet. Do you even check the validity of your sources before you post things?
I would imagine a black man doesn't want to hear the n word flying down from the audience while he's singing the anthem. I would imagine he would feel some kind of way about that, don't you?
Nowhere in the article does anyone state people shouting racial slurs toward the singer. Oh right, You "imagine" that it happened
That's what dictators would do...or worse. I can't believe how many people are so willing to give away our free speech rights because we have a president with fascist dreams.
You are moving the goalposts again. They DID do a protest, on the field, and Jerry participated in it. You can claim, correctly (I assume) that they stood during the anthem, but the fact remains, they made a clear statement, in solidarity with the players, not Trump, by taking the knee.
It is my OPINION that they had to come up with a way to save face for their boss, and so did he. The compromise was take the knee before, so they can stand during. But the argument that has been given is that these rich, black people don't get to have a voice because they are there to entertain us, and they don't suffer because they are overpaid, so they seem to have no rights to speak up for other Americans. That was rejected, they made the statement. They used their platform to do good for the nation, not simply to earn their ticket price.
Are you going to tell me they are in solidarity with the President? If you do, I'd have to disagree.
No, you're moving goalposts. All Cowboys have stood for the anthem. That is a fact that you can't seem to cope with.
Geez. Whether you support it or are against it, one thing is for sure: taking a knee is working. The players are drawing the attention to the issues like they wanted. The NFL has dominated the front page of the political section for the last several days.
The NFL was already in trouble. Just another "nail in their coffin".
I see a return to interest in high school/college sports, which is a very good thing!
Yet another thread where the title is a lie and the article the OP posts in support actually doesn't.
Reading comprehension appears to be at an all time low.
How is the title a lie? Please, enlighten me..
