It is simple - The richest and most pampered athletes in the USA are saying that they hate this country and want to see it fall. For all I know, they hate me too, since I would be willing to stand by my country. If these guys, and I do mean the entire industry, have not taken a massive hit in the pocketbook by this time next year, then We the People are just too stupid to continue to live in a United country. I was already bored with pro-Sports, it will be easy for me to avoid any type of support for these spoiled punks. How about the rest of you?

+susieice Posted September 25, 2017 #183 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Will the Cowboys kneel tomorrow night? The quote that's been making the rounds about their owner threatening to fire anyone who kneels is not true. He never said that. https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-cowboys/cowboys/2017/09/23/oakland-raiders-rb-marshawn-lynch-sits-national-anthem-dallas-cowboys-game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the rest of you? I'm not big on pro sports outside of boxing and MMA... I usually only start watching the NFL once the college season is over,since a 9-7 or 8-8 team can make the playoffs the regular season doesn't mean much anyway.

Michelle Posted September 25, 2017 #188 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The thing is, when they signed their contracts they agreed to abide by the league rules, as I pointed out in post #150. As with any business, if you can't abide by the stipulations, you were informed of upon signing, you should not be in that business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but there is a bit of a double standard anymore in the entertainment industry... Curt Schilling (a white guy) got fired from espn for saying " men should use the mens room,and women should use the womens room" Espn fired schilling almost immediately proclaiming he broke their political views rule. While recently Jemmelle Hill called Trump a racist and said he surrounded himself with white supremacists...Jemmelle faced zero consequences and had already "mobilized" a group to start screaming "RACISM" if they did... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidhead Posted September 25, 2017 #191 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Lol... each week this gets more and more entertaining. Its not like Trump declared it new government policy. He basically just implied if he was a private owner he'd kick the player off the team.... which was obvously directed towards the former 49's QB who no team will sign to a contract. Gee I wonder why that is? Lol It's really toooo funny watching people over react to what he says when they say it and think it them selves. Put it this way..... give this kneeing protest some time and youll see that what actually results is more patriotism and love for the still-yet freest nation ever.. the USA. Trump's always one step ahead. He doesnt ask... his actions create reactions and results. Brilliant! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHaYap Posted September 25, 2017 #193 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Not sure of the veracity of some claims but some lawyers I know claims that ' Collective Bargaining Agreement ' doesn't quite cut it as much as many seems to think, like I mentioned before, if the contracted player is not an American Citizen, furthermore its what the DoD calls 'payment for patriotic display, troop tributes .... and reenlistment ceremonies, performances of the national anthem' Means no money if none of the above, that's all ... no retributions either ... or rather there should be no retributions ... 4 minutes ago, F3SS said: Well it’s not like that went over very well back then so I’d imagine it wouldn’t go over so well today either.

I was a bit young but she was raked over the coals for being disrespectful to the anthem. If her singing were just poor it wouldn’t have been such a thing but it was intentional and that was the outrage.
