Guess we'll disagree. It's convoluted logic that those will spit on the flag while at the same time saying they mean no disrespect to it or those that fought and died defending it.

Our values are just fine. We are all privledged BTW you, me, everyone. We are all free to do what we want within the confines of the law. As far as these fans being missed or not we will leave that to the owners to assess. You are ranting in your post, you seem to be the one butthurt. Perhaps you should check your values and respect the soldiers that gave their lives so that you could sit at home and try to force your opinion on others. In Russia they would have shot you and went about their business. You should get familiar with Russia as that is what BLM is about Marxism. You think you are bitching now let all your freedoms be taken away.

B B but their inaccurate agenda is more important than respecting the flag.

Your reference was bullshit. And your whole theory is bullshit. Pass the potatoes.
Freedom of speech is slowly being taken away too. I had a network employee canned for whatever view they put on social media. Just keep chopping away at our freedoms and force feed those ****** agendas.

Sounds like another "Mommy's basement boy". trained by our Marxist scholars.
institutionalized racism...unless he means the blacks racism against all whites
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you....So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET....(Black Entertainment Television)
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..
Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists............ Why is it that only whites can be racists??
assess your values as a person when symbols are more important than lives...I guess our flag is just a symbol and blacks killing blacks is just a cultural thing.
I'm fed up with this whining bullshit. When an overpaid, under educated, spoiled athlete disrespects the United States Flag claiming some imaginary wrong, they can all kiss my ***. I never considered myself a racist...evidently I am now. So be it.
You can only beat people over the head so long before they strike back.

I wonder what outrage would ensue if someone would drop a white is king album.

I watch football for entertainment, not politics on either side. just play the game.

Netflix is the NPR of pay tv. So leftist. They get no money from me.
Not Only the Knee . . . !
The knee is not the only problem . . . 68 children by 52 women! 7 players!
Children raised in fatherless homes, especially black children, are far more likely than children raised in two parent homes to engage in criminal behavior and thus, have contact with police. Ergo when they father a child with a woman to whom they are not married---or at least living with---they are contributing to the problem against which these football players are taking a knee. If you look at many of these players' records on out-of-wedlock children, you find that they are contributing significantly to the problem against which they are protesting.
For example,
Antonio Cromartie has 12 children by 9 different women. Apparently the NFL had to shell out $500,000 before he could even play football for them.
Travis Henry has 11 children by 10 women,
Willis McGahee has 9 children by 8 women,
Derrick Thomas has 7 children by 5 different women, Bennie Blades has 6 children by 6 women,
Ray Lewis has 6 children by 4 women and
Marshall Faulk has 6 children by 3 women.
They forgot to include
Adrian Peterson: 11 kids from 7 different women.
Before these guys take a knee they should take a good look in the mirror .
It appears that their problem is not the knee.
Yea, this way of thinking worked out great in 2017. Keep sticking your heads in the sand and it will go away...
Pathetic...

So, just agree? Can't. A portion of it, maybe, but can't swallow the whole antifa/blm story. Sorry. Not sorry.
Trying to ridicule me or anyone into going along with the program is as idiotic as expecting the "head in the sand" approach to work.

Cope we are way past the point that anymore awareness needs to be brought to anything. We are at the point that instead of protests we need solutions. Real viable solutions not fantasy land no police ****.
At least you got that right. I agree with Dj, how about some solutions, rather than condescension.
When Ben hangs it up... I am really leaning towards following him into retirement and retiring the Steelers. The more time that passes without sports and the more these athletes open their mouths, the more I may consider not contributing to their salaries. They’re making it pretty easy to choose.

I think this thread shows that there is enough fans that are against players forcing an agenda during the national anthem. Fans are the reason the NFL is high on the hog. I think a lot of people are sick of the agendas being pushed on social media and TV. It is even spilling over to the workplace and effecting freedom of speech. They will watch the fans reactions and proceed accordingly. There is already a divide in place, it is spreading like cancer.

It cracks me up how many uneducated and closed minded points of view come out to attack what was a post supporting freedom of speech and justice in a country which allegedly is known for these qualities.
Does the first amendment not guarantee this free speech to kneel?
Were the words “all men are created equal” not ours?
Would I do it, it doesn’t matter...probably never would, but I get it and respect the expressing of their opinions in a “free” country in the hopes they will be behind me when my freedoms are being encroached upon.
Am I an advocate for BLM, again doesn’t really matter but not really. I see them as hypocrites just like many of the posters on this board.
I simply stated please do vote with your dollars and stop giving the team your money, give up your season tickets if ya feel so strongly about it because as I stated there are several waiting in line to take your place/seat that feel ok with giving a team supporting freedom of speech their money.

Don't think anyone here is saying people don't have a right to express their first amendment rights, although like you, I can only speak for myself.
But please don't demand that everyone must agree with those expressions, lest they be labeled with the term of the day.
And if more time were spent actually addressing the perceived problems of the designated oppressed, perhaps opinions would change, because right now it's just posturing.
You obviously don't know me if you think the last one pertains to me at all. I respect your service, but it is best to keep your racially slanted memes in the Alt Right echo chamber that attempts to pass for a Political Forum around here.
Point your ire at me all you want. I'm supporting our players and coaches, and so is soon to be HOFer Troy Polamalu.

If the subject has to do with race,, then how can the response be void of the subject?
If its racist ,, then call it that.
