This isn’t a national story for a day, week or two weeks. You are platforming the behavior and folks use it for revenue in the which a major by product to spread a divisive tone. When you highlight absurb behavior in such a way, you normalize and in a less direct way, encourage it. I think school shootings (I’ll have spell it for some, “I do not condone school shootings”) we have seen the same phenomenon.

You and jamf aren’t following me...it’s fine. both you and jamf are more concern in calling me racist because that’s what people do online when the opinion which opposes their own when it comes to the hot buttons topic. I get it, a lot folks get it. But peace and love to both of you.

Back to the anthem....i probably would not have changed anything and if I did I would have more buy in from the players. I think the issue is more important than just a company rule.

I never called u a racist once. As a matter of fact - if you read my posts - I believe I actually said “i do not think you are a racist. Jam f asked if u were one based on your no harm no foul attitude towards the racist lawyers rant.
But go run with that canned conservative response about how us on line liberal folk hate all those who think differently and play the race card. Lmao. Please go back n read my posts. Especially the one where i make it a point to tell you i do not think you are racist in very clear english.

I said AT GAMES. Nationalism should have nothing to do with our sporting events.

Agreed. Might as well have different sections for all of the religions too. How bout a church a temple and a mosque just in case you get the hankering for some prayer time. Whatever happened to watching a fucking football game.

Well the anthem is 80 years old and the pledge is 65ish. Lets not make it sound like they were around at the time the constitution was written.

Flag huggers would go apeshit if you took away their anthem! Might as well piss in the face of the troops while you’re at it.

Even though it has been a tradition for about 9 minutes. Lol. Said it once n ill say it again. Not one of those tough guy true blue afraid of their own shadow wanna be soldier fake ass patriots stands up when the song comes on at home. It is just some show they put on when they are showing off their bald eagle tattoos at a game. But that is what happens when a fake bonespur cowardly draft dodger becomes the spokesperson for Murica. No offense to anyone with a bald eagle tattoo. You arent all fake ass patriots.
