This kneeling thing has gotten out of hand. No one knows what theyre kneeling for. I had a couple kids on my team wanted to kneel so I asked them what for. Their response? I dunno. I thought all black people were supposed to. So me and the other coaches explained that as long as they had no valid reasoning other than that then kneeling would result in loss of playing time. The protesting is nothing more than a stunt with no meaning or merit at this point.

Do you always base your views based off of how well they can be explained to you by children? Why not ask them about their opinion regarding the proposed tax reform plans?

So it doesnt bother you that people form opinions based on what others do around them? Shouldnt we push for the next generation to be more educated about their opinions so we can avoid the shit show that was the last election? Or should we continue to ignore it because its just black people kneeling?

What does damaging someone's personal property have to do with kneeling during a song?

Anyway... in the long run the kneeling stuff isn't going to change anything in the US or World.

At most it's just to show face or prevent one from being retaliated against for not kneeling.

I like how players kneeling is just them expressing their right to protest but anyone who doesn't agree with it and protests is being a snowflake.


They literally are expressing their constitutional rights as decided upon by the USSC. You cannot force a student to say the pledge, anthem, or to salute to the flag. This has already been legally decided upon.

They should not be hired for any more games tbqh. As soon as they gave the ultimatum they should have been removed from this game. It doesn't matter whether the refs agree with the protest or not. They don't have to like it, but they are expected to do their jobs.

not reading anything below the op cause i know how it will go.

but i see no problem. if they had stayed they would not be impartial referrees, likely overpenilizing the monroe high team for the kneelers. so i think it was the right thing for the compromised refs to step away and let 2 impartial referees take over

If players taking a knee affects their impartiality, they need to get new jobs

Indeed
A referee who is not able to accurately officiate a game just because he disagrees with four of players about something that is in no way related to football is someone who should not be a referee

Thats exactly what was done.

They won't be hired for any more games this season. Athletic department says "if they did it once, then they'll do it again" and won't be taking any chances.

The comments on Yahoo! are glorious.

Apparently people think protesting by walking out of your job is okay.

The refs should have just noted which players were kneeling, and then just call a bunch of BS penalties on them throughout the game.


A referee thats bias?

Good luck getting another job after that

I'm pretty sure most companies don't consider your performance as a high school referee when considering whether or not to hire you.


They will if they can link it to your hatred of black people. Something that would be very easy in this case

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/New-Jersey-Referees-Refuse-to-Work-High-School-Game-Over-Anthem-Protest-453900893.html?amp=y

A father and son part of a high school football game's officiating crew walked off the field after members of one team knelt during the national anthem.

Ernie and Anthony Lunardelli say they told officials from Colts Neck and Monroe high schools before Friday night's game they would not work if any players protested. They were replaced by two officials in training after four Monroe players took a knee on their home field.

The two officials told mycentraljersey.com they respect the players' right to protest, but they believe such acts are disrespectful.

Anybody that disrespects the flag, in my eyes, its not right, Ernie Lunardelli, told mycentraljersey.com. What they are doing with this kneeling and everything, they have the right do to that, but the national anthem has nothing to do with them kneeling. The flag has got nothing to do with why they are protesting.

The paper reported that Monroe High School Athletic Director Greg Beyer declined comment on the officials' decision not to work the game. He said it's school district policy to permit players to peacefully protest.


Yikes


No you don't. Why even lie, just say you don't support it.
