NO I’m not I just think there’s a time and a place and sorry Drew but you were right.. the anthem and waving the flag for 90 seconds is a moment to honor who sacrificed their lives to protect us.. or should we just allow Cheerleaders to kneel next year for women’s victims and in 2022 other victims to kneel?
Even more important where we’re all these athletes in 2017 and SINCE helping west Chicago’s black youths become better people and in other cities? Do enough good and you get the attention.. be part of the solution
But I also want to enjoy my freaking 16 Fall Sunday afternoons with a break from life.

Funny how Drew Brees same this exact same thing 3 years ago and never heard boo from these black race baiters...now he is the devil himself. These players including Aaron Rodgers of all people are the one's who don't get it as they accuse Brees of not getting it. What Brees is saying as you point out the 90 seconds or less to play the anthem is the moment they chose to kneel...why not kneel warming up or after the game when the meeting between the teams for 5 min. occurs. All Drew is/was saying after caving to the …….child type impulsive foot stomping + toy throwers if EVERYONE does not agree with them on their every min. of the day obsession RACE.....IS DON'T KNELL DURING THOSE 60-90 SECONDS...players are on the field on and off for about 4.5 hours leave the 60-90 seconds alone or expect a backlash as we saw in 16+17. Well the huge % of white fans that i went into detail on another thread will be very unhappy esp. when you throw in a good spattering of bowed heads and raised fists in the black power salute...that will do wonders for ratings.

If he had only started with, "we have a problem in this country with racism and police brutality, and it must end, immediately. I choose to stand for the national anthem to honor the thousands of men and women, men and woman of all colors, who sacrificed their lives so that we can be free as the great nation we can and will be." I'm a veteran and I will always stand for the flag. But in these difficult times you must choose your words wisely. I don't know Drew, my guess he is a good man, certainly not a racist, and he apologized. Enuff' said, we move on.
"I'm afraid all we may have done is awakened a sleeping giant."

Flag and Anthem have nothing to do with wars or soldiers dying. That may be what you personally feel about it. If the USA had never fought a war, we would still have a flag and anthem.
So, you want everyone to share your personal feelings, but do not allow them their own personal feelings about what the flag and anthem are bout.

The Star spangled banner was written as the British were attacking Fort McHenry in the Battle of Baltimore, War of 1812. The song has everything to do with war

The Slave spangled banner is outdated.. ( let's put the slavery verse back in and see what happens ) ...
Soldiers didn't die for a stupid song or a piece of cloth ....They died for freedom , but apparently you want to worship a flag and song like its North Korea ...

If you don't understand what the flag and national anthem means to those who have served this country in war then you literally are ignorant, illiterate or just plain stupid...and as Forest Gump often reminds us...you can't fix stupid...
You might have a chance on the other two...but I doubt it as the mental illness that is liberalism is harder to fix than the stupid...

Look I few upon Baltimore, I’m white, it’s 70% black, my dad was a lawyer who brought black clients into our house on weekends all the time! And I went to college inDC then moved to LA and worked in a black neighborhood as one of the 2 white people there.. we all have the same organs inside
But this thread is about time and place and even more about consistent actions.. if action in Chicago took place all along since 2016 by all these athletes we wouldn’t need as much action now.. and we wouldn’t be kneeling at 1 pm Sunday in front of the flag which I believe should just be honored

Drew Brees messed up big time. Not because of his first comments. They were truly no big deal and the dude has his own opinion, which many agree with. Where he messed up was his apology. Writing multiple paragraphs, multiple videos and even writing directly at President Trump. All because of one small comment he made. He now looks like a little b!tch as he cannot even stand for what he truly believes. Of course currently, in our society, there is a double standard, where if you are against disrespecting the flag/troops you should be mocked on TV. All these athletes were pissed at him, but it's these same athletes, like Lebron, who always talk about having a voice and standing up for what you believe in. But I guess Drew can't cause he is on the other side? True hypocrites.

All were spit on when they came home from WW2 & NAM ...
The Trashy Flag never protected them from racism and blind hate ,
Never forget the stars and stripes flew for genocide, Slavery , Raping white women who wanted to vote , internment camps , mass incarceration of minorities , etc ...

Agreed, Phillip. Good points. I think he was worried about his post-football broadcasting career and folded like a cheap tent.

PLEASE move this BS racist thread to the box Dont see any football bets in here
Double Up! I've been hoping to see a Buffalo Bills post from you. You had some great comments on them last year, and I know you're on top of the team better than anyone on this forum. Looking forward to your thoughts.
As for this thread, the NFL has embraced politics. It's now forced us to include politics in our handicapping. How can it not? Everything that's been going on is going to play a huge factor in player motivation, fan attendance, where public money will be going, and many other things. We have to discuss these things in order to handicap the current year. Unless people are hurling personal insults, I say let these threads stand. For some of us, it's useful handicapping info, for others a chance to let off steam. And after being cooped up for months, almost everyone has a little steam let off.

I'm thankful to be a free American.. My grandfather's and Dad both served ... All were spit on when they came home from WW2 & NAM ... The Trashy Flag never protected them from racism and blind hate , Never forget the stars and stripes flew for genocide, Slavery , Raping white women who wanted to vote , internment camps , mass incarceration of minorities , etc ...
You are lost, my friend...totally lost...it saddens me to realize you are adrift in a sea of liberal mental illness just like all of those other looters out there...the flag was never meant to protect those soldiers who served from racism and blind hate...the flag represents the best of what America has been and the fact that many decide to serve in our military in spite of that racism and blind hate tells you everything you need to know about those Americans...in spite of the mistakes that ideologues and idiots like you have twisted it into...
I would be willing to wager a large amount of money that your grandfather and dad did not hold your warped, sick perspectives...
I will never forget that America has saved the world more than once...has created the largest amount of wealth and prosperity that the world has ever known...and no matter where in the world people are born, they want to come here at every opportunity...
Yet you want to look at the glass as half empty...pathetic...
You are not thankful...you are bitter and spiteful and you can't stop it from oozing out of you at every opportunity...I'll pray for you but I have no hope for you...may God have mercy on you and do something to snap you out of it at some point before you pass...you are beyond human help...

Get your facts straight, soldiers returning from WWII were heroes and treated as such. Did you serve like your father and grandfather? I suspect not. I did as did my father. If you hate the flag that much, there are many other countries to move to. It's not a perfect world, sorry to disappoint you.

Why would I serve when they spit on my grandfather after WW2...
My facts are right , you're just brainwashed by fox news and white washed American history ...
Also why would I move ??? Aren't I supposed to stay here and fix my own country , like you tell immigrants that want to come here ...

The generation today have no idea how close the world was coming to be Germanized. We went all in a bluff. D Day.... Patton was used as bait to keep the nazis spread out. They took the bait and rest is history. If they did not , America is not here. So, we stand and honor the flag for all those who SACRIFICED their lives so that we can live in a free society. WW2 was about protecting global dominance. Colin Cap a prick knelt because he was pissed he went from starter to third string.

I'm sorry what happened to your grandfather. It wasn't right. I'm a first generation American with parents of European descent. They were not treated well either but believed in the country and it's opportunity. It's a different world now but it is still the USA. If you aren't pleased with the country, the rest of the world is open to explore. (Funny how very few people leave here after they get here)

Your description of WWII sounds like a John Wayne movie. If you really want to know what that war was about - who started it, how and why the U.S. got involved, what the ramifications were, how the outcome has contributed to the mess we're in today - then I highly recommend reading The Bad War by M.S. King. It's meticulously documented and researched. The best book ever written on World War II, by far.
