i doubt you will lol. let me know what the stats for the game is when it's over bro.

the Steelers are confirmed to NOT be coming out for the national anthem, as a team.

I told my wife an hour ago things like this would be happening today. I thought Trump said he would unite us?

P.T. Barnum strikes again!

These are crazy times for the news. Interesting though.

See, this exactly what I'm talking about with you. Dude, I live in Florida, the beach is my back yard. I can find better things to do on Sundays here during football season.

Since you choose to make crap up and act like you know me and what I do...you can go get bent!

you have so many things to do, yet you're on here.

rhetoric not lining up with action.

Find a post of mine in Pure Football, Game Day...etc. Look to the left of my posts and see my location, post count and reg date. I'm here to talk Trump and see what the other side is saying. My actions are lining up man....again you lie!

i don't care enough to check it.

but you're on a browns message board. go check briebart if you just want to debate politics only. only maybe a chain email since thats where you get your news from

Another conversation with you gone stupid.....again....go get bent.

its only because you continue to stay stupid things.

not my fault you're misinformed and gullible. it's a fixable problem.

Well said

j/c

Publicly disrespecting the very symbol of freedom and why one has the right to protest is about the most vile thing a person can do outside of harming another innocent human being. I don't care why one wants to do it...it doesn't matter. Find another way to make your mark.

When you trash talked as a kid, Moms were universally understood to be off-limits. That was due to respect to the institution of motherhood. You don't call your wife by her mother's name.

It's not difficult and there are lots of other/better ways to make a point.

My sentiments exactly.

You told your wife...
Everyone is lighting up this Thread.
It is all over the News.
It is all over Sports.
It is running rampant on social media.

President Trump Leads American into the conversation on subjects that have needed our attention for a long time.

Remaining silent will solve nothing. It allows only those with Media access to have free speech, furthering the Divide.
Now everyone is talking!

Brilliant!

no there isn't better ways.

sorry but you just want people to protest in a way that doesn't inconvenience you.

AKA, you and others want the protest to occur in a way that you aren't forced to actually think about the issues they are bringing up.

we have protest all the time locally against black on black crime and other issues. the million man march got little to NO coverage from media, especially conservative media.

you don't want players to kneel for the national anthem? then how about you help bring awareness to the issues they are bringing up then? help change whats going on, then they wont have to kneel anymore.

Calling people SOB's isn't a conversation. The conversation was going on long before his hateful comments.

It's yet another way he has chosen to help divide people rather than unite them. It's what he does.

If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!

-President of the United States of America
Donald Trump

70 percent of fans agree, Play Ball! This is not the place for politics.

Trump is so unpresidential it makes me laugh. I don't think I've ever seen someone consistently try to put out small fires with kerosene. It's certainly entertaining.

The NBA and the NFL have become garbage sports.

Inconvenienced? I'm not inconvenienced by anyone choosing to disrespect the flag, our country, our dead soldiers and our living soldiers - both retired and active. Am I disgusted by it? Yes.

I don't want ANY US citizen to NOT stand for the National Anthem. I don't care what excuse/reason they may have. It's not an appropriate or respectful way to make a statement.

Perhaps the players should take up their cause(s) and I should take up mine. It's freedom...symbolized by the flag and the sacrifices made to create that freedom.

i disagree. it's appropriate.

and it's also a protected right.

don't like it? change the constitution.

The kneeling is a cheap way for these losers to "show they care".

3-4 minutes they'd be standing around anyway.

These same losers won't devote any of their own free time.

"Sorry kid, that's three-in-a-hot-tub time."

Good now stop complaining about something you don't watch.

It won't ever cease to amaze me how you people can complain about things you don't follow, watch or even care about anymore. But please continue your divisive rhetoric pointing out players you don't even know or care to.

Keep making up lies like your friend Swish. Just because we don't agree with your opinion doesn't mean we don't watch or know who these guys are. People like you twist peoples statements to fit your view.

I said if the NFL stops playing the Anthem to skirt this issue, I WILL STOP WATCHING!

Too bad, I was hoping the singer would sing it on her knees.

Just watched the NA in fox-borough players arm in arm kneeling and standing all in mutual respect together for all.

watching garbage sports again?....

And I'm making things up

That happened when Clinton was prez. Stop deflecting.

Not my opinion. It's a constitutional right. No employer in the country can take that away. Get over it, or stop watching it.

But if the owners of the business' are ok with it, what do you care?

So where was all the rights outrage against the flag being disrespected when all theses actual flag respect rules were broken? Is it the disrespect or is it the reason that's causing the outrage? Interesting...

Thanks for posting this, I'm on board with all of that.

As well as STANDING FOR THE ANTHEM.

lol you people on this board most likely violated all of that, too.

Think it's fair to say that most people (myself included) were unaware of this.

Which would be fine on a normal situation, but since you and others are so ticked off about players kneeling, one should reasonably expect guys like you to be up on the regulations.

Intent matters. It's one thing to do something you think is patriotic but happens to be a faux pas because that's what it says in a book somewhere. It's something else entirely to say that this flag is not something you believe in and therefore you won't stand for it (or something to that effect.)

Intent doesn't matter.

One is in violation, the other is a constitutional right.

?

They're both constitutional rights. Perfect said it well earlier in the thread. Don't like the protests? Don't watch. I'll add to that and say don't buy merchandise, don't go to games, vote against taxpayer funded stadiums which allows the owners to socialize their costs and privatize their gains, and cancel your cable (money flows from your checking account, to your cable company, to networks, to the NFL.)

In the interest of full disclosure, I haven't watched much NFL football the last couple years.

Somewhere between the greedy owners, spoiled/whiny players (my opinion of this goes back farther than the Anthem protests), ten straight losing seasons, and a declining product where games last more than 3 hours and yet somehow we only get about 11 minutes of actual game play where the ball is live, I've gone from watching three games on Sundays when I joined the board to only catching plays here and there... and I'm not even sure I can justify that anymore.

So you were barely watching the games even before the protest. Which means you not buying any merchandise or tickets meant absolutely nothing to in the grand scheme of things.

The NFL is still the biggest sport in this country. Still ridiculously profitable even WITH a slight hit from people not wanting to support the NFL anymore.

Then on top of that, thanks to Trump, now the NBA players are gonna start doing it on a regular, and they got international money.

you don't like players kneeling for the anthem/flag? Then help bring change to the issues they are addressing that way they don't have to.
