They aren't but they could easily incite their fans to.
I'm sure that's the end goal for the mainstream media and the way they're reporting on this nontroversy.
"Trump shitposts about faggy liberals crying." What an amazing story. But let's ignore the actual stories of antifa violence because that doesn't fit current year narrative.
Ben Shapiro is smart enough to realise that politically this is great for Trump since it is getting really obnoxious, so people who just want to watch Football and don't care about politics will get pissed and turn on the left. Just like with gamers.
Trump won't lose support for this, the kind of people who would support this shit literally think he is the second coming of Hitler. He has everything to gain and the left has everything to lose by alienating people. They lost the 3D chess game again.
Derek Carr's done, back injury caused by his shitty game-throwing offensive line not protecting him. Somebody might want to find out if he stood for the anthem today.
NBA Coach: ‘White People Especially’ Need To Be Made ‘Uncomfortable’
"Whether it’s the LGBT movement, women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means,”
Perfect encapsulation of modern liberal thought. Democrats/Media/Reddit will always go out of their way to crybully against the core population to justify their overbearing self-absorbed sense of perpetual aggrievement.
He's overdone it but his initial point was sound-- it's disrespectful and they should be removed from the field and/or fired but in the case that they aren't just boycott the league.
Their kneeling is an obtrusive way of them saying, "we don't like president Trump," no matter what they try to claim it's about. The majority of the kneelers (read: nearly all of them) only started doing it after Trump pointed out how stupid it was for these idiots to kneel, in the first place.
Could you imagine if a soldier decided to, "protest," by, "taking a knee," when the national anthem played? Why do we let these people that we pay millions of dollars to throw a ball around and get brain damage do it when the very nation that allows them to make a living off of it is what they're disrespecting?
You probably have the millennial viewpoint on this, though, where it shouldn't matter because they aren't hurting anybody, or something equally retarded.
God, America needs to invent democracy someday if you get fucking upset over an anthem. As someone with experience in the army, yes, I can imagine that.
No shit they're kneeling if their bloody president gets in a huff over it. They're kneeling to spite the jackass who pisses on people they respect.
Apparently, the NBA sent out memos reminding players a few days ago that they're required to stand for the anthem. It's not clear what they'd do to enforce the rule, but it looks like they're definitely trying to avoid the negative attention (and reduced income) that the NFL is getting over this.
