Arian Foster To Kneel When Anthem Played

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Marcus Peters also raised his fist during the anthem.

Really proud of these young men standing up to injustice.

Good for him. It is great when people are willing to bring light to issues they believe in.

He's really oppressed in a nation where he can make millions playing a game in a country with an African American president. There's no way he's attention whoring at all. [Blue font]

Dolphins RB Arian Foster just told me he plans to take a knee and raise his fist during the national anthem today in Seattle. He said some of his teammates will join him. Foster said Dolphins players met on Friday and agreed to make their own decision on how to handle today's anthem.

If it sucks in this country so bad, then why are you even here? That's my question.

The racism on this board is over the top.

He who smelt it...dealt it!

What they are doing changes absolutely nothing. It only calls attention to themselves.

If they want to change things, they need to partake in activities within their own communities to bring about change - and drive that change from inside the communities outward.

Like this?

Many, many lives have been given for their right to do this...

As well...those SAME lives were given for me to say that I wish they'd ALL go find another, more suitable and more just place to live in another country.

You are totally hypocritical to use the system and then call it injustice. Just goes to show who the users are in our system. But I am sure your appreciation and opinions are based on race.

Oh that was original. How long have you been using that one?

 

[Scott-to-Trot]

free tacos to all who don't stand for the anthem!

Users of the system. Then they cry foul.

Boycott the NFL. Over paid prima donnas. (Or Chers if you will -- aka pre Madonna)

Blacks are killing blacks. That is the real issue.

I doubt they do anything proactive. Just keeping their names in the headlines. "Their own communities" - Kaepernick and Foster live in very nice communities and I am pretty sure they always have.

What other system should a US citizen use? Trying to make changes to it has been part since its inception

15 years ago today this nation was attacked. Thousands of Americans died and hundreds of millions were affected, but we were United.

Fast forward to today and it's acceptable for millionaire athletes to cry "oppression" in the very same nation that affords them the opportunity to make a multigenerational change in their family tree economically. Not to mention the fact that millions have died fighting in wars that have helped this nation preserve its freedom.

It's pathetic and shows a lack of character. Period.

But Nobody gives a crap about this for some reason.. They are a bunch of attention seeking sissies imo. They don't care about what they say they care about, they want attention.. If u cared about senseless black killings, then Go and protest something in Detroit or Chicago. Its just a stupid trend/fad right now for them.

Thank God there is no racism in Chicago. There black-on-black violence has killed or injured over 500 people already this year. Can't blame that on the white racists can you?

Blacks are killing blacks. That is the real issue.

And Whites kill Whites at the same pace. What is your point? Neither of those things are what Foster and the others are addressing.

Guys please keep the politics off this forum. Come on. Obviously some of you have no grasp on what goes on in this country if you truly feel so oppressed.
