Well they're just stupid...I don't support Trump and I am not happy with Colin!

Colon can do as he pleases but if the NFL does not stop & if they do not condemn this personal public type of display I personally will cut their games from my list of what I watch & attend.

I have had a family member give his life fighting for the USA. I have family members & I have served in the military. THAT is why I do not & will never support ignorant & uninformed sports millionaires doing what Colon has done.

I quit watching & attending the NBA when the players began looking like escaped prison convicts. I can do the same for the NFL...........Besides I am tried of DA Bears letting me down anyway.

Let me understand the thinking here. Our military goes and fights to preserve our freedoms and then when someone dares to exercise those freedoms they are derided for doing so.  ???

Things that make you go hmm.  :-\

Actually, I' m not against his right to protest...I wore the uniform and fought for it...so don't be against my right to say that he is a spoiled jerk!

Should help you with your, hmmmm!

Maybe he is. Even morons have rights in this country. Is that not what you fought for?

 

[T-Bone]

Yes and that is what I have stated.  I'm not challenging his rights, but I am challenging his judgement and even his motive...along with his timing.

I am all good with a dialogue. Slam fest? Not so much.

I agree that's why I responded to your post.

Freedom of speech only protects us from government. Those who excessive their right to speak freely are still judged by the court of public opinion.

Carry on...

Colon has every right to exercise his right to be an idiot & prove it by slamming our country, our anthem & the flag that has been the banner that our fighting forces have died under.

I suspect that he is being radicalized & simply has more of a platform for protest than the others that are also being negatively influenced.

BTW, I also have a right to express my thoughts ................so far anyway.

Kaep: Black, rich man who claims America isn't great.
Right-wing response: "Then leave America!"

Trump: White, rich man who claims America isn't great.
Right-wing response: "Then lead America!"

It turns out free speech is a two-way street. Who knew?

Yep. They hypocrisy is no respecter of political party.

Gabby Douglas gets raked over the coals by right-wingers for not putting her hand over her heart during the National Anthem...

Yet Sam Kendricks stands at attention and doesn't place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem and gets applauded by the right-wingers:

Yup, they have accepted the mark of the beast . Their loyalty lies in 'Murica rather than the God that rules the world.

The problem with that quote is that it states a false dichotomy.
I'm a conservative and I don't think he should leave America, I think it's refreshing and enlightening to hear the truth.

The conservatives have been and are some of Trumps worst and most vocal critics.
It is arguable that Trump IS a conservative.

But, other that that, it was a great quote!

Hallelujah!
Smellin finally has a soul mate!

Note: only one of them is claiming he can do something about it. Guess which one.
