Then don't play the national anthem at the games. We watch a gladiatorial game, not a pep rally for America, right?
Or, and this is key, it's ok for these highly paid athletes be advocates for breast cancer awareness, or autism awareness, or any other cause while working, but NOT for the ethical treatment of black males. THAT'S offensive to you.
It really does boil down to the racism of the people who are offended by this.
So the answer is to say goodbye to the singing on the national anthem on Super Bowl Sunday, because liberals will politicize the anthem?
Whatever happened to "the customer is always right?" If liberals want to abuse our customs and traditions so they can use them as a platform to preach their politics to us, screw them.
We already have schools where students are forbidden to wear a US flag t-shirt, or even fly the American flag on the school grounds, because some liberal SJW will take offense. Screw these people, they need to stop forcing us to comply to their twisted crap.
Maybe, like perhaps when white restaurant owners didn't think blacks should protest by insisting on sitting at the counter in their diner when there were places for blacks to eat? Or when Rosa Parks had the audacity to sit in the front of the bus when no one else would think of doing such a thing?
"Better ways" you say? Some might argue the best way is to do something people notice and start talking about, arguing about, doing something about...
You have it all backwards.
The blacks were the customers!!!
Blacks were being forced to be treated in a way they did not pay for. They paid to ride the bus, not to be forced to sit in the back by the employees driving the bus.
It's the same here. Fans paid to watch a football game, not to be forced to watch a SJW performance of protest. People came to watch a football game, not to have politics shoved in their faces. People go to games to escape that crap, not to watch more of it.
Most are probably at the snack bar during the anthem anyway.
And it is rarely broadcasted in TV, unless its play-offs. Ironically they did broadcast it yesterday after Trump attacked the black players, and everyone saw how the extent of anti-Trump protest. Even the owners, many of which had supported Trump, came out to voice their disagreement.

How many years ago what that? .. anyone can ride the bus and sit anywhere there is an empty seat. Anyone , all races can sit at any lunch counter they want to.. where have you been?

Trump did not attack the black players.. you make things up just like a lefty.. Trump said anyone who doesn't stand for the flag disrespects our country.. simple.. they then chose to not stand. Fine.. they want to disrespect our country.
Terrible analogy to use writing BLM on something and giving it to you vs being silent and not standing. How kneeling is offensive to anyone is beyond me especially given peaceful protest is a right that our military fighting for
How you are not able to see how grossly offensive kneeling is offensive to many people is baffling. The anthem is part of traditional America values and culture.
And many conservatives aren't politicizing the Anthem even now? C'mon, guy.
... and let you force them to comply with yours, right? Hypocrite.
I swear that liberals have made the Democratic Party, a collection of the most anti-American group, and political party, in US history.
You think that the playing of the national anthem is some kind of a dictatorial and oppressive act??????
The US flag or the anthem at a sports game, celebrates the unity of the entire nation.
The sporting event might be a competitive game between teams from Dallas, Texas versus Green Bay, Wisconsin, but the flag and the anthem are symbols that we are still a unified nation of Americans. It's a reminder if you will, that we may be opponents here, rooting for different teams, but we are still brothers, still Americans.
Do you get the significance of the flag and the anthem yet?

Strange now anyone can ride the bus or sit at lunch counters, I wonder why and how it changed? I'm pretty sure it wasn't a bunch of whites people got together one fine morning and just decided their long held beliefs were nonsense and that they should allow color folks into their kids schools as well

I swear, I think the race card is the only item in the liberal toolbox. Apples and oranges. BTW, kneeling won't bring any change. It accomplishes nothing but just giving a middle finger to Trump.

Strange so are freedoms and long held ability to protest peacefully. Sounds a lot like religion where you can just pick what and when you want to apply things. There is nothing offensive about taking a knee
