It's a shame that our vice president then tweets a fake photo of himself at the game from 2014.

 

Oh the whole thing was premeditated, he was always going to walk out. So on a tax payers dime he childishly flys to Indianapolis to make a point.

 

 

Not fake. Just alternate fact-ly... LOL.

Protesting while being paid to something else .  Oh the hypocrisy of the MDL

 

You should fire all the players you employ in your team. Show them how it's done!

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Fire everyone who kneels and get rid of football. Problem solved. Next problem. What a reality show.
 

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

OR they could listen and stop spinning the reason for kneeling.....but that would be too hard, easier to smear the players with lying and deflecting what it's really all about.

 So... fire the entire game of football from America. Football.....you're fired. The king has declared it. Every man, woman and child must stand

to attention and salute or they shall be fired. Furthermore the second amendment must be enshrined but we will gnaw on the first amendment like little rats
because King Trumpardashian will rule who can exercise it and where and when. Hear ye hear ye......everyone who does not kiss his behind shall be burned on the stakes.

Everyone who does not feed Trump's pets, the new swamp creatures will go to the dungeon.
Everyone who does not pay for his wall will be feathered and tarred.

Why does how much money they make have to do with anything?   Folks were crying here that protesters should get a job.  Now, someone making bank for putting their literal necks on the line every Sunday and they should be grateful for their jobs.

Turns out the VP had to leave anyways. https://shareblue.com/pence-leaves-fake-patriotic-stunt-to-go-fundraise-for-congressman-openly-loyal-to-russia/

 

Pence leaves fake patriotic stunt to go fundraise for congressman openly loyal to Russia

By Matthew Chapman   |OCTOBER 9, 2017

 

Mike Pence staged an NFL walkout over athletes’ purported disloyalty to our country, then went to a fundraiser for an embattled California congressman who overtly sides with Russian interests over America.

Why have rants on Twitter at 2AM when you are the leader of the greatest country on earth? Oppressed child?

I guess Free Speech goes both ways, even if you don't like what's being said. If you don't approve, don't watch. Hit them in the pocketbook.

Correct they are being paid to do something and its not protest the fact that young black males are about 4% of the population and close to 50% of the violent crime in this country. However its unfair they have a disproportionate  amount of interactions with the police. News flash. More white people are shot by the police than blacks every year, but are not so wildley disproportionate in their crime numbers.

 

I know facts and stats are hard to deal with sometime, but facts and stats none the less.

so, if they were protesting something you agree with - you'd feel differently? i don't understand the whole 'they have no right to protest because i don't agree with them' stance..

No actually I would not. The NFL has never allowed players to personalize , advertise a cause or whatever. Actually the regs strictly prohibit it. Jim Mchamon got in all kind of trouble and was fined for wearing JDRF head band. Many other examples thru the years.

DeAngelo Williams was fined for supporting breast cancer awareness with eye black rather than just wearing pink, while William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to support domestic violence awareness.
