Pretty sure everyone has an opinion on the standing/kneeling NFL controversy.

Just overheard two people arguing about it. Someone said that any athlete that kneels during the national anthem, is literally KIDNAPPING anyone at the game/watching the game. Because they are being "forced" to watch it happen.

"What are they protesting?"

"I watch sports to get away from reality"

"They're just pampered millionaires"

"What about Chicago?"

"It's disrespectful to the military"

You're right, asking what they're protesting is not an opinion

Right to protest is part of the 1st Amendment. It's basic US government, you learn this crap in high school.

Without being suppressed by the government, which is currently not involved whatsoever

People are allowed to disagree with protests

I saw a Larry Fitzgerald ad on Twitter advertising Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones. So a good player advertising good headphones.

The replies were all variants of "why aren't you advocating #TakeAKnee" despite it being an ad and not a proper Tweet.

Was just walking down the street and heard two white working class types talking about it.

One of then said, "Are you really going to disrespect the national flag and national anthem over who the current government is?"

Not necessarily a bad opinion in general if the protest was about the current government, but it's not. It's about police abuse, over decades, not about who's holding the reins right now.

Not really. Ultimately the private organization of the NFL and its owners and managers are accountable for the decisions. Trump is allowed to express his opinion that the teams should fire those players. It can't in any way be interpreted as a use of "government force" to do so.

But hey when does it actually matter to look at things from a factual and objective perspective? Fuckin clowns...

Kind of disheartening that he's a veteran too. I mean I understand that's why he feels so strongly about it. But to say they deserve death is...well, foolish.

The worst people are the ones that say "why don't you leave if you have it so rough here?"

America is fucking far from perfect. It can always improve. Thinking otherwise isn't some treasonous statement.
