Last I checked, supporting peaceful protest is pretty American. Although that may not be a popular stance around here. I still wish those players who do kneel would better articulate what they're kneeling about - police brutality, Trump, etc. Agreed, but you are not entitled to protest at work. There is simply nothing more to this stupid story. |

On a side note imagine the free agency and who just became number one on those players list. Fucking guy is smart. I'll take a paycut to go play ball for the Jets. When the fuck how the fuck could that happen. Well it can now

IN our context, it's a political statement, not insubordination. Prove me wrong. thats one of my biggest axes against the left is that they inject politics into everything... LOL common boss - Unhappy fans are screaming "anti-American"; which is a political statement. |

If the settlers of the New World didn't make a political statement to King George...We'd still be eating fish and chips!

I am basically over it. If the players come out on the field, they should show respect during the anthem. If they don’t want to do that, stay in the locker room.
I agree with Gootz... yeah... I said it... I think players will look at what a Chris Johnson did and like it.

Good cop, bad cop. He knows Bowles has it under control (last year nobody knelt) so he gets to look like the "players owner". As for the league, they think the anthem hurt their pocketbooks last year but it is only one slice of the pie. They have been pissing the fans off for years. The anthem shit was icing. They are many reasons why people arent going to games or tuning in on TV. That said, I just want to enjoy our young QB. For the first time in years we have a future. Hopefully I can tune-in and enjoy some games. Or he's just a fucking moron. |

And your boss can fire you. Or fine you. And thats all Chris Johnson is saying. If the players decide to protest, and the big boss fines them, the little boss is going to cover the fine. In practice, I still think its going to be a non issue. I dont expect to see any Jets kneeling this season. |

Welp all I’ll say is, let’s see if someone kneels and let the debate rage on.

I hated the kneeling but had no issue at all with the locking arms. I personally hate racism. I’m smart enough to hate people for other reasons than the color of their skin. |

I heard no. |

Personally, I think the outcry is because more people suspect this is less about racism and more about immature, attention-starved, un-informed spoiled dullards trying to gain back the street-cred they lost when they BECAME FUCKING MILLIONAIRES, most of whom cant be bothered to marry their baby mamas, creating another generation of father issue kids the world will have to deal with. The cops have an imperfect relationship with many in their community, but its more because of what the Democratic party has thrived on the last 50 years which is maintaining a culture of victimhood and anger amongst them. I've seen it from the boots up, as a very liberal college grad sent into the trenches...what the Democratic party has done to these communities. The cawps are stuck in the middle, and yes they are imperfect..they are us. The real problem is much larger and darker..and lurks in the very hearts of those that purport to advocate for minorities, most of whom ARE FULL OF SHIT. As Oscar Gamble once said... they dont think it be like it is but it do. |

I be a mix of Harvey Keitel Bad Lieutenant but sober. And Shaft. Sprinkle in a little Al Pacino heat. I'm telling you nothing goes down without me seeing it. I became friends with the police out here. I told them 4 times what houses to watch they were all no no good kid from good family. Million dollar heroin ring busted up. Now i get a little respect but some inquisitive looks from the detectives im sure they hit that background check and were like sweet jesus. But not even a traffic ticket in 8 years
