Well we all knew what would happen

[3Rfan]

When the president decided to tweet on the subject of players not standing for the National Anthem. In London the first NFL game is already under way since he jumped in on this subject and nearly ALL players were kneeling and the coaches standing behind them with arms locked. I some what agree with Trump on this issue but he ALWAYS has to go waaaay overboard on stuff and it leads to this kind of reaction. Now he has dis-invited the NBA champs from the WH visit because a player says he won't go.
I get that people have the 'right to protest' something but when did that right extend to the work place? These guys can peacefully protest all they wan on their own time but they should NOT do it on the job where most are making millions of dollars to be there. I would bet the majority of americans think this is a TERRIBLE way to express your discontent about something that has NOTHING to with their job. What black man in the NFL has been treated so badly they feel the need to use their public forum to protest while ON THE JOB?!!!

Really bro? Kaepernick was protesting the treatment of others, not himself.

So, if I don't like the way Obama treated cops, I can disrupt my workplace and paint it in a bad light without repercussions?

The first team to say no to this nonsense will get a LOT of new fans. If they sold t-shirts saying as ______s we stand for football and the anthem, they would make a fortune.

Don't bet on it. You 35%ers maybe

Repeat after me "Trump is the president of the United States of America"

35% didn't do that

You arrogant liberals think by insulting half the country, you accomplish something,

Congrats, you do

I know what he was protesting but he should NOT be doing that on company time. Pro at athletes have plenty of time, and the means, to protest when and where they choose, they don't need to do it on the job that pays them millions, they can protest on their own time.

If they really want to protest the killing of people of color maybe they should lock arms and walk down the mean streets of NY, L.A. St. Louis or Chicago to spread their message. There is NO comparison to the number of people killed in gang violence to those killed by the police. Those people are killing they're own people by the thousands every year. Do you think the team owners would lock arms and walk with them through those streets?

I think Colin Kaepernick would disagree that there has been no repercussions. He has paid a high price in the loss of income. A higher price than any of us would pay for our opinions.
They can cut them any time they want.

You know what’s also disrespectful and unpatriotic? People yelling “home of the Chiefs” during the national anthem.

Actually 3R the best way to draw attention to the problem is when millions are watching across the country. Is that hard to understand? Risking your own income to help others is considered a noble move by some.

There is nothing more American than protesting injustice when it is manifest, nothing more patriotic than speaking for those who do not have a voice or whose voices are rarely heard. When people protest police misconduct, and racial disparities in our criminal justice systems, they are acting to improve the conditions of their fellow Americans, acting to force necessary reform on people (like Trump) and institutions (like police unions) that resist this change. This is “anti-American” or unpatriotic only if you believe the protections of the First Amendment are overrated or unnecessary. And only if you believe it’s unpatriotic to want to make America more just.

You don't have freedom of speech in the workplace

Every one of these players who refuse to stand and face the flag needs fired on the spot and escorted out of the stadium.

There are hundreds of good football players standing in line to take their jobs

This is as valid as Tim Tebows supporters saying he lost his job because of his beliefs.
BOTH lost their jobs because of their talent being too low and their baggage too high.

Fired, based on what rules? By the league? Because that doesn't exist. By the teams? Clearly most don't care.

Funny how the idiots who scream snowflake the loudest.....are the same ones who fit their very definition. Congrats

Donnie worked hard dodging the draft to give these guys this right.
Who is complaining about the camera guys watching the protesters instead of saluting the flag? Oh wait..those are white guys.

Which owner that locked arms with their players over this issue will be the one that gives Keapernick a job? I hear he is better than some starters and most backups now under contract.

Just answering your question with facts. It appears you didn't like the answer with your juvenile , condescending insult.

How is it a fact, when the owners are on the field with them? Don't worry, I'll give you time to figure it out

You have discern why the owners are on the field. Read between the lines. Use your powers of reason.

Exactly. What is an owner gonna do? Hope this ends! If the "unite" with the players, they then have flexibility. If they don't, they have no hope of swaying the players actions. They hope wrong though because liberals are NEVER satisfied. They will always push the owners farther. At some point, the losses will mount to the point but to insist on dropping the childish tantrums.

 

[3Rfan]

Why is it a different issue? Kaepernick was let go and not picked up by another team because of his actions, plain and simple! If his issue is so important to the owners now surely one of them will hire him for his or her team.
