Non gamers franklin is the black character in the newest grand theft auto game

Why does it matter if they have felt it? You don’t have to experience something first hand to know right from wrong.

yeah i think it's all stupid.. lots of things to protest that no one says anything about.. i don't work but did for 25yrs and idk how so many peeps have so much free time to march in streets for anything.. football should be about football..

The idea for kneeling during the anthem actually came from a member of the military...

This Vet has zero issues with it. If you believe Faux News you think it’s disrespecting the military.

Absolute bull ****. But that’s the spin to rile the base. Anything to get Americans minds off failed wall, healthcare, and a jacked up tax plan.

That is very true. But these same kids were on the news at Dow high for yelling go back to Mexico to a Hispanic student and then circled this poor girl chanting build the wall....but I agree. I probably should've just kept this to myself. It's just if you were from here and knew how many secret racist are in this town it would be more comical. Also dow high had a African amercan female kicker that was all state and some midland high kid made the news for coming to the game in a gorilla costum and then went on social media in the same suit saying I wonder if I can kick for midland high now.

And I agree. My best friend did 3 tours in Iraq and is 100% cool with it. My thing is these kids use the n word in school, tell black jokes and are very mean and racist towards their minority peers. And then they want to stand up for racial injustice. I'll google links

Protesting the national anthem does nothing to help their cause. It makes them look like ****** idiots and it's disgusting...

curious what do you find discussing about kneeling in particular

truly wanting insight to your thoughts and some background to those thoughts

I'm not against the protests. I'm against these racist white privlaged kids trying to be cool and support a cause they literally don't care about.

I find it disrespectful.

I find it disrespectful.

Then you are looking at it fueled by real fake news.

Would you rather then running around beating up cops and looting?

I ponder this.... The meaning behind kneeling has changed recently.

I've witnessed many people kneel in my lifetime for a multitude of reasons.

Never once did I see it as a sign of disrespect towards whatever was being kneeled.

So for me personally I'm not going to begin take it as a sign of disrespect now

If you are protesting by that, how about putting up a protest sign in front of your house or car as well?

well da*n u may've got me with that a little bit.. still flag is the flag it represents 100's of thousands that died for it., i don't think famous peeps teaching kids watching nfl it's ok to disrespect it. that is what leads to riots, looting and kids punching teachers, lack of respect..
