More deflection. I thought we already went through this dance last year with Kaepernick? These protests have nothing to with the military. Stop trying to use them as a straw man in this argument.
The protesters have been very clear. They are protesting the unjusitifed killing of unarmed black men by the police. PERIOD. Nobody said anything about the military. And they are using this form of protest to bring attention that issue.
Stop trying to change the subject to something it's not because you don't want to tackle the issue being actually discussed.
And this is why I find all this so funny.
And this is what the new generation is all about?
It's literally the least you can do. Colored ribbons, hashtags, kneeling for the national anthem.
People getting shot and killed everyday in the inner cities of these NFL teams and you are going to achieve social justice by kneeling. And now, we won't just kneel....we'll lock arms!
Impressive. Way to make a difference guys.
These dudes can do whatever they want and I don't care.
I hope someone's keeping track of many people are murdered from the time the kneeling started until it eventually stops and these guys can see the difference they've made
Where did you get that number? Did you just make that up? If you did actually understand what a standardization is you would realize the total number of people shot does not matter when assessing how likely a person of one race is shot by the police compared to another.
I have lost all respect for Josh Dobbs.He along with all the rest of the Pitt steelers refused to come out for the playing of the national anthem.:redface::shades::shaking2::neener2:

Third verse of the National Anthem:
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.

This type of thing can cause BIG problems among teammates that feel different about this issue. I watched it very closely first hand with a college basketball team last season. It totally destroyed the season and played a part in a whole coaching staff departing and eventually an AD.
