No, libs put their liberalism first, this has nothing to do with race. Liberal progressive politics trumps race, religion, gender, and everything else.

The feminists never defended Sarah Palin against her misogynistic attackers, hell, the feminists piled on with them to insult and ridicule her.

The NAACP, is the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People. Everything is liberal politics first.

The hypocrisy is great.
"We didn't come to watch these players make a political statement. They damn well better stand for the National Anthem"

It's not really like that.

It's like buying a cup of coffee and the employee not wearing a flag lapel pin instead of wearing a flag lapel pin.

You can add the media to that, if the media would just STOP already there would be no attention and it would go away.

IMO the biggest contributor to racial divide in this country is the MEDIA, you know what ever makes the ratings soar.

A key plank of the conservative platform has always been that government should be small and it should stay out of the affairs of private business. With that in mind it is puzzling that Trump and his supporters are using the power of the federal government to interfere, harass and cajole a private sports league (the NFL) over their pre-game ceremonies. What player do or don't do is between them and their employers, right?

It strikes me as very hypocritical. The same goes for states rights: in a number of states both the voters and the free market have declared they want legal pot, but the federal government, especially Sessions, are refusing to condone it. So much for freedom!

Trump is using the power of the federal bully pulpit to harass and bully private business. And conservatives support that?

Conservatives say they cherish freedom and the free market -- but only in ways they agree with.

The military fights for the right of the KKK to peacefully assemble. Are you going to tell us how much you admire the KKK?

Why not?

Writing BLM is silent. The ink and the letters denigrate the cup, just as those kneeling denigrates the anthem. Both writing BLM and taking a knee are being used to promote the agenda of the SJW.

Or are you trying to pick apart an analogy for not being perfect, because analogies are not supposed to be a perfect fit.

What is the NFL thinking?

The team I like, and watch, the Texans, all stood for the anthem as they have every season for nearly a decade. I'll continue watching them. The moment any of them take a knee, I'm done with the NFL.
Are you sure you watch the NFL?

Cause this appears to be video of the anthem at the Titans game and the players were not on the field

I must have missed where Trump sent in the army to make the players stand. Do you have a link to that?

Why would the Texans be suited up and on the field at a game they weren't playing?

You must not know a single thing about football if you believe every team is at every game. That would be logistically impossible.

I didn't say I admired anyone so you fail in asking me about the KKK. They have the right to peaceful protest
