Colin Kaepernick

[houndawg]

maybe if I watched the NFL I'd care one way or the other. Really hard to get frothed up about something I couldn't give two shits about.

[houndawg]

I don't think kneeling and facing the flag is.

On it's own it's not. When done as a protest, it is. Obviously a lot of people agree on that.

The same people that display the flag at halftime in a horizontal position, in explicit violation of the Flag Code.

Just sayin'...

Yep. 3/3

Well, it's a protest so obviously these players don't see it as a sign of reverence and the fans don't either.

Honestly, it's not a huge deal to me. But I can't muster a single shred of sympathy when James Damore gets fired from Google for daring to question the cult of diversity and when an Apple Diversity Chief gets fired for stating an obvious truth that having a bunch of people of the same color doesn't make them diverse.

Are you saying that you can't protest in a respectful manner? They are trying to bring attention to something they think is important. Turning your back, sitting, (buying concessions,) etc. are disrespectful. I don't think kneeling and facing the flag is.

I agree on Google & Apple. The real truth is that there are a bunch of snowflakes on both sides who are too fragile for honesty & transparency. It might upset their carefully constructed view of reality.

While you are:
-in uniform
-on duty
-representing you’re employer in front of tons of people
You don’t have a right to free speech or a right to protest. You have a right to say or do whatever you’re employer allows you to say or do.

The players can protest all they want out of uniform, away from work, on their own time.

End of story.

And the owners have every right to fire the players. Ready, set, go!

Pussies....

Thanks cupcake!

Doesn't that apply to Google and Apple as well?

Nice to know that you're as bent out of shape by this as the leftists are by their little boogeymen.

Maybe Jelly can give me a snowflake making lesson next.

Dude, I could care less what the NFL does. I quit watching several years ago...

Sounds like you still watch and are getting your panties in a bunch over a bunch of employers establishing some simple, easy to follow rules for their employees..

Those poor players with their 8-9 figure multi year contracts being made to stand for the anthem. How terrible.!

I've been laughing my ass off for 18 months at the Snowflake Conservatives (like you)
Peeing themselves over the uppity black men disrespecting old glory



So please keep posting...about employee rights in America
It's hilarious

I'm OK with them sitting or kneeling or whatever.

I'm also OK with them being fired for disciplined for it.

There's two camps here - each is equally snowflakey - if you are OK with one of the above then logically you have to be OK with the other, but as with all other things in this country, we'd rather ignore the obvious

Of course... it's a pissing match of "who's a real American"
The problem is if a team fired a guy another team would just sign him immediately
and if the NFL bars them from playing when they kneel then we get more entertainment

We get to watch the famed American justice system go to work soiling itself



Then only the lawyers win
which is exactly how America was designed in the first place

Underlying all of this is the "patriotism dogma" ethic that leads to things like saying it should be against the law to burn the flag. To me, it's completely inconsistent with the point of this country. When we start saying people are supposed to worship the flag, etc., there is a problem. The NFL has a right to make rules its employees must follow. But this thing of acting like it's just an absolute HORROR if someone kneels during the national anthem is a social pathology.

Fine!

But that "horror" is what drives us to fire all kinds of people who bring negative attention towards us

Wal Mart will fire you if you offend customers
Amazon will too

Hell, Google will fire you for simply disagreeing with their policies - nevermind disobeying them

When I was a cop, there were all kinds of things I could be fired for, including going to titty bars

There are all kinds of things I can be fired for now, as well - and all of them are related to that gold standard of employee policies - bringing negative attention or potential lost revenues on your employer

That is a standard that has stood the test of time in court when employers want to fire people.. and that's with full time employees. Contractors (which is what NFL football players are) have even less employee rights.. they literally serve at the pleasure of their organization

I don't know who is louder or more ridiculous - the people mad at the kneeling

or the people moaning about some middling QB with a bad attitude not being able to find a job

Really? Because it sounds like you have a very strong opinion on the subject. Possibly aggravated by blacks making more money in a week than you'll see in your entire career...
