All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

If I'm reading this right, Sammy is condoning Kaep's behavior
Re: If I'm reading this right, Sammy is condoning Kaep's behavior
an nfl player sitting down during the national anthem in front of 70k people and 20 tv cameras is not a private protest. (they line up on the sideline for the anthem)
It will stick out pretty obviously.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

I'm pretty sure he said that he had been doing it all pre-season without a word to anybody and then some site verified it.
COMING SOON...

he was in the luxury boxes, he wasn't on the sideline for those games.
again, i'd be willing to listen to his point if he had one. he can't even enunciate what he's protesting, which makes him look like a fool in my eyes.
Ok...and?
Are we really boiling down this discussion down to the fact that you don't like that he doesn't speak with enough enunciation? Really? If that's all you're left clinging to then you don't really have a point.

He was probably asked. After all, this is big news across the football league. It's gone viral. I guess that's the world we live in. It's annoying to me.
All I hear Watkins saying is that Kaepernick has a right to stand up for what he believes in. He's right about that.
The song was written by Francis Scott Key after he saw the flag was still flying. He wrote it inspired by brave Americans fighting for our freedoms, like the ability to sit on the bench and pout.
It's a national, anthem. It's not a Department of Defense anthem. Sorry, but if people in or associated with the military are offended, that's their problem. What he's doing has nothing to do with them regardless of the loose connection between the military and the anthem's lyrics (which by the way is a metaphor for liberty and freedom and not to be taken so literally).
A Gold star Mom was on TV last night and she said when they handed her a flag for her Son that gave his life, it held a higher meaning to her. People should respect that and honor those who serve.
So when people decide to protest, should they check with the local VFW and Gold Star Moms to see what's not going to offend them? Who else should they check with or is it just the military that gets this exalted reverence?

So that's what you took from everything I said ?? Really ?? Why do they put the huge flag out and sing the anthem ?? Is it to play a game before the game or honor those who have sacrificed ?? Get over yourself man, get a clue.

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics and meaning for kids. Francis Scott Lee, the Battle of Baltimore and the Star Spangled Banner Lyrics. Fort Henry and the Star Spangled Banner Lyrics meanings for kids, children, homework and schools.

And it's sung to the music of an English drinking song.
Seriously about the topic, I don't know why anyone gives a crap that Kaep sat during the anthem. He wasn't the first and he certainly won't be the last.

I agree. I don't really care why he's doing it. And if people want to disagree or are offended by it for whatever reason, that's their opinion. I just want to remind people that this is constitutionally protected free speech, just as their criticism is. But calling for him to leave the country is a bit beyond the pale, Mr. Trump.

I wonder if people realize that the Star Spangled Banner has 4 versus, of which everyone only knows the first. And the third verse mentions slaves. And that Francis Scott Key was a slave owner and staunch supporter of slavery. At least that is what the article I read said. I knew it was only verse one and don't know the other versus. Verified that the third verse mentions slaves.
