Yay! Never witnessed it before him. I read he is ready to stand now if someone will hire him.

You should look up that phrase. It doesn’t mean what you think it does
Rioting and burning is the same no matter the color of the rioters.
And actually it’s racial bias or racism that allows you to forgive one and not the other

My opinion > both is disrespectful. Un-American.
You should see the amazing array of stuff those spoiled game players post pictures of. Mind boggling mansions...exotic cars... ;-)

He's a subpar NFL QB and that's the main reason he's without a job. He got benched for a reason and its not because he decided to act like a petulant child on the bench.
It's meaning is well understood by most. Not you, naturally...but most.
That's already been either retracted or debunked; is what I heard on the snews this morning.

I think there is a strong distinction between not being respectful (as in, forgetting to put your hand over your heart) unintentionally, and intentionally kneeling.
From the analogy point of view, this would be like going to the grocery store and taking a candy bar and putting it in your pocket because your hands are full; when you get to the checkout, you forget it's there and walk out with it. YOu get into your car, realize it's there, go back in and pay for it. THAT is forgetting to put your hand over your heart. Going to that grocery store and putting a gun in the face of the checkout girl, taking all the cash in the register, and fleeing - that is kneeling in protest, as compared to the former.
I know you were looking to "gotcha" somebody, but that's my personal answer.
I agree with that.
I agree they make up a small portion but it is the systematic racial bias in the country that allows it to keep happening and keep even the bad ones from being prosecuted which is exactly what the protests are about.
Kapernick started it by sitting. He then met
former Seattle Seahawks player Nate Boyer, who served as a Green Beret in U.S. military action Who encouraged him to kneel instead to show respect for the flag as military members do for a fallen brother.

You can’t be the dumb can you?
The differences is they are doing something to stand up to injustices not just posting pics of rusty vans to impress people on a small

While one "should" stand facing the flag or the sound of the music with hand over heart, I have no problem with anyone standing in silence.
Wonder what things would be like if y'all didn't commit crimes at rates wildly out of proportion to your 13% segment of the population?

And PS..I've never owned a van. Ever.
Who exactly are you taking about? White men in their late 30’s?
Yes. And the fact they are willing to lose that for theirs beliefs is apparently incomprehensible to someone who only values themselves by their things like you.
Sorry. Maybe it was a trailer that was rusty. Your pics were very blurry
Liar. You do that a lot. Brought up to lie? Or a learned trait?
And those spoiled brats don't expect to lose a dime. Most of them aren't smart enough to think that far ahead anyway..they get paid millions of dollars to beat each other up over a pigskin ball, after all.

We'll count you in as an "honorary member"
I don't think anyone will dispute that they are within their first amendment rights, the same as the owners are within their rights to bench, fire, not hire... anyone who decides to make their statement on their time. As to people getting mad at marches, all of us have places we have to be, things we have to do people standing around in the road are doing it only to inconvenience them. The fact that they haven't had more of them turned into road pizza is probably a greater testament to being civilized than anything else. BLM lacks credibility because their argument is a lie. Blacks aren't getting shot at any great rate, and almost every one who has was doing something that caused them to be shot. If I had a complaint to make here it's that not enough white scums aren't getting shot. As to when blacks should protest, how about never? Their petulant acts are an embarrassment to the civil rights pioneers who came before them and is detrimental to making any headway to undoing the harm that the last president caused.
