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?

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.

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.

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!

When a business goes political.............

I don't thing the poster was implying that.

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.
