You really are incapable of comprehension, aren't you?
pffft.
I didn't say that folks defended those creatures. I said they argue with me about stuff that actually come from my life.

You were answering Portland who said, "To add, white nationalist are all our problems. It needs to be shouted down from everyone."
You said you can't.
It won't work if I try. Folks will just take the adversarial stance, and that will be that.
I comprehended that.

And it's exactly what you did.
Predictable as always.

NFL, players have one easy answer for how to end protests on their own terms https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/co...rump/754607001/So, what to do? There’s a very simple answer: Go back to the days before 2009 when teams were not required to come out of the locker room until after the anthem was played (except for the Super Bowl and after 9/11). With no players on the field, the anthem will go on, fans will stand at attention or stand in line for nachos or run in from the parking lot or do whatever it is they do during the anthem, and the controversy — at least the visible part of it — will be over. This quick fix would deprive Trump of visual evidence of player protests, which has provided the oxygen for his incessant and incendiary tweets. He’d find something else to tweet about, for sure, but it likely wouldn’t be about players on the sidelines during the anthem, because they wouldn’t be there anymore.

So Pence would have to stay and watch the game? Too much crap following this around. North Korea is at least as important. So is a return to the Cold War posturing. Just makes me sick.

What about those players that are more than happy to come out and stand for the anthem, because they consider it a right?

where was the "respect" for the military then? where was the "Respect" for the military when those guys came home from Nam and got called baby killers? where was the "respect" while we have homeless soldiers on the streets, vets struggling to receive proper medical treatment, and so many with mental problems? *Giving Swish a standing ovation for that part of his post* We as Americans ignore that part and focus on people standing for the Anthem SMH Just one more reason for me to say common sense is dead in this country.

We as in MOST of the country. Our vets laid there lives on the line for us, served our country then many of them get ignored when their service is over. We (yes I include myself) have done a pee poor job at taking care of our vets
