"You're having a lot of fun, right? Suppose Hillary got elected instead of Trump, you think it would be so exciting?"

-President of the United States of America
Donald Trump

If trump really said that, then it shows why red tillerson was right.

Exciting? This ain’t the freaking apprentice. He’s like watching a real life president Comancho.

I've noticed, in the absence of original thought you have decided to simply quote Trump all over the place. Definitely leaning towards the unhinged.

I would never fake a Trump quote.

Well, you are the expert.

Of course, Red Tillerson was the rhythm guitarist for an obscure country artist from Kentucky or somewhere.

Now Rex Tillerson might have some input on the current topic.

Can you help me out ?? It's been decades since I was in the school yard and heard that .... Remind me what 10 year olds say back to that .... Naaa naaaa neeee naaa naaa?

What's sad is that there was actually intelligent and thoughtful conversation going on and then Vambo hijacks another thread.

Beating woman is a horrid crime. However, people in all professions and walks of life have been guilty of that crime. Doctors, teachers, attorneys, electricians, law enforcement personnel, custodial workers, engineers, retailers, investment brokers, etc, etc. You can't just say that football players are guilty of it.

And does Vambo have proof that all the guys who are kneeling are women beaters? I'd love to see that link.

I am not in favor of these guys kneeling during the anthem, but man, play fair!!!

Another good post, mike. I'm sorry that your quality posts that are filled w/insight, logic, and fairness are being lost because a couple of guys are trying to hijack the thread.

Just know that I do appreciate guys who can converse like you.

Certainly, which way did you come in?

Hey he's back my BIGGEST FAN good old Vers once again reading all my posts.

Once again you LIE no where did I state all kneelers are women beaters, play fair!!!

If the NFL players are protesting oppression and they beat their women, Are they protesting against themselves?

They dodged bombs to preserve peace, not only in America, but for the world. They had to dodge n bombs coming home.

I’m not backing down on this one, I’ll kneel with the players.

The players that kneel are despicable human beings. I have a a simple formula. If a player kneels at a game. I turn it off and watch something else. I will not support people who disrespect those that protect and serve. I would like them thrown out of the NFL.

This is a contradictory statement.

Will you please provide links that show the players that are protesting oppression are beating their women?

You can't. Thus, you are resorting to deceitful tactics to win a stupid argument.

Your tactics actually make me want to support the guys who are kneeling.

I hope they all kneel every game this year.

Why are they despicable? I've never understood this mantra to American exceptionalism. It's like God Bless America: God has better things to do than pick which country he likes more. And what makes us so sure it's America anyway?

The kneeling is working by keeping people talking about it, even if we aren't seeing it the same way. That's why it's better than doing it in the off-season etc.

They've made it clear that has nothing to do with any of this. If you choose to ignore that, well that's up to you. I'm not a fan of it myself, but I do understand their message. What you're describing isn't it.

No offense, but I don't think it's working. I think people have been talking about these issues for awhile and the current president's views would certainly cause people to talk about oppression of minorities.

I think that kneeling for the anthem while at the work place actually is causing more of a divide than helping the cause.

The cause is fine. The strategy is misguided, in my opinion.

The first time I was ever aware of sprts figures protesting political issues was Mexico Olympics, 1968. The response was exactly the same 50 years ago... and from the exact same demographic.

No surprises here.

You missed the point if any NFL player beats his wife/girlfriend and NFL players protest they are protesting NFL players. I did not say, print, assume or pretend all who protest beat their wives/ girlfriends. Once again you are trying to twist a post into something it's not and that's deceitful tactic. If you want that information feel free to Google it, I did not say all and if you want to know which ones are try looking it up.

I could care less who a deceitful person as you takes sides with.

Please start you posts from now on with"Once Upon a Time" Play Fair! #unhinged

Are you with them because you actually believe in their cause or because they are black?

Why do the protests only happen during the NFL season and only during the National Anthem?

The question was asked before where are all the protests during the off season. Now would be the time to organize the players to come together and form a protest such as the Pink Hat ladies had done in several cities at the same time. They could all wear their jerseys and have a rally each could make a speech of their own story of oppression.

I just don't see consistent passion of their protest it fizzle out during the off season and if were not for Trump it may have disappeared already.

Your posts were deceitful. They did not belong in this thread. You are once again using underhanded tactics to try and win an argument.

What do you mean he is trying to win?
He kicked your butt long ago.

Okay, he kicked my butt. LOL..........so what.

What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong.

Btw, I do not support the players kneeling during the anthem. Did you somehow miss that? What I am not a fan of is how he started posting all that crap about NFL players beating women and how he connected that to kneeling for the anthem.

That is PURE BS!!!! And I am not surprised that you approve of that tactic.

What???

Oh, did I type that? I thought I was just thinking it.

Vers posts are deceitful. They do not belong in this thread. He is once again using underhanded tactics to try and win an argument. All he has done is bash posters and now he will bash you. He will make up stuff you were supposed to have said but you didn't say.

Beware of the Vers!

Vambo trashes blacks because he’s secretly loves black women.

Seriously, you come off as insecure.

You forgot the...

"Once Upon a Time"

You make up LIES.

You come off as deceitfully insecure.

Black women do love me though!

I think the difference is that all the protests against breast cancer raise not only awareness, but money. I might be wrong, but I always thought that those events like the Race for the Cure and whatnot had some of the profits go towards research.

So, in that regard, I think it would be a good opportunity for the players and anyone else to build on the Anthem kneeling protests, and arrange some additional protests/events for fundraising to help their cause, or perhaps help victims of police brutality.

I for one, would happily participate in a 5k for that cause.

well, there's already foundations to donate to.

there's already plenty of marches and protest well before the nfl players decided to make a stand.

but the common rhetoric i keep hearing is "where is this, where is that"

its all there, people just dont want to look for it.

and the difference between breast cancer protest and what the nfl players are doing is that what the nfl players are doing isn't a money problem. its a legislation problem.

Keep them all in the locker room. Problem solved.

You're at work, if I started professing my political beliefs at work, I am certain my job wouldn't like it if I was bringing negative attention.

You're at work, grow up, protest on your own time.



To clarify, I don't really care if they protest it's absolutely your right.....but don't cry when you're out of a job....but of course you will.



"I deliberately and willfully brought negative press and attention to my employer"......"it's collusion and discrimination, I don't have a job"

Nah

prior to this, there was no rule stating the players must stand for the national anthem.

before 2009, there was no rule for the players to be out there to begin with.

also, your job doesn't play the national anthem before you clock in, so there's no way for you to protest the anthem at your place of work, which kinda makes your point irrelevant.

additionally, "protest on your own time" makes no sense. protest isn't supposed to be done at BpG's convenience. if it was, you wouldn't pay attention.

which is the entire point of protest, to pay attention.

Kneeling during the national anthem, is a cheap and easy “show of concern” for social injustice.

NFL players don’t give a rat’s ass about social injustice..

I’d be impressed to see NFL players work against social injustice on their own time.

What is this picture I'm looking at and how does it relate to the topic?

Lame post.

Does this help?

No.

You don't recognize a pixelized Mario Balotelli? And here I thought you were a man of culture.

not big soccer fans here bro.

which is why i couldnt stop laughing. dude is whining about nfl players while posting a pick of an italian soccer player.

ok.
