You do anything other than stand on the Anthem, you get fined. $10,00 a game. All money goes to children charities, f**k all the retarded adults, behaving like children.
I say childish, because they continued to protest on the Anthem when their protest points were made, when they could easily protest out side of the 2-3 minutes Anthem. Like they need to fuel more controversial protest. They are NFL players. They have the recognition of the masses. Speak out at will outside of the Anthem. It would add the same value to the issues WITHOUT the controversy.
Yeah you Eric Reid.
BTW, I don't know WTH Jones been talking about, 'we will not disrespect the Anthem', didn't he knelt on the Anthem
People have burned flags in the past. Only person who made this a big issue this year was Trump because he knows who his voters are. Only fans who made this an issue last year were primarily in white-dominated demographics.
Trust me, for the most part, the issue of thinking kneeling is disrespecting or not disrespecting is a white and black issue. Guess who amplified that further: POTUS.
Yeah, I think the current 'version' of the Anthem protest is more in reaction to POTUS adding his s**t to the fire by his stupid ass comments. It was far from a moderate statement that was required to unite. It reinvigorate the resolve to protest on the Anthem.
My issue is, just do it somewhere else. On their own forum, assembly, rally, etc.
It doesn't bother me as long as they aren't giving a speech or chanting or something during any part of a sporting event. They are simply silently kneeling during the anthem while thousands of people are ordering food, taking a s**t or piss and getting to their seats during the anthem.
Lol
#truth.
I don't see anyone in the bathroom yelling at those on the toilet
