We have millionaires complaining to billionaires, so do they want everyone to tune out the games ?? One ups-man ship for who can be the biggest douche team next week is hitting a new high. Maybe we can have Best disrespect of the flag awards or best way to ruin a paying customers day besides losing award. These spoiled-brats don’t get that we as fans don’t pay to watch their protests, we watch to escape our problems. They want to dump their problems on us, money not being their problem.

Re: Players looking for new ways to disrespect the ceremonies
Let them do it...but no one better complain about the fallout that follows, whatever that may be.
No one gets to tell hard working fans how it should play out. The game exists because we watch and buy tickets. Don't keep prodding the bear or you may lose more than you think.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: Players looking for new ways to disrespect the ceremonies
I personally don’t care about the issue either way, the anthem takes a few minutes and then it’s over. What I am getting sick of though is not being able to get away from this topic!! I gotta hear about it from coworkers , family and friends and then come on here and read about it some more?!?! When is it going to die already?

Originally posted by Swiper View PostThey have used their profession to make their point heard. Now its time to stop that and reach out to their respective communities to work on the issues behind the scenes if they are truly committed to fix the problem. But many people would question how committed they truly are. At this point it's just a big publicity stunt that isn't helping anybody.

Originally posted by ICRockets View PostThe ones who are actually protesting the same thing Kaep did (as opposed to those who are co-opting his methods to protest ignorant white billionaires) have reached out in myriad ways. Malcolm Jenkins, for example, has gone so far as to meet with Congressional leaders about criminal justice reform.

Originally posted by Goobylal View PostThen tell these so-called "unarmed" black men to stop a) committing crimes, and more importantly b) acting like idiots when confronted by the police. To hear some people, it's like random black people are being shot by white policemen.

Re: Players looking for new ways to disrespect the ceremonies
Originally posted by ICRockets View PostIdeally, the issue would die when unarmed black men stop doing so at the hands of the men tasked with protecting and serving them.Since 2015, The Post has created a database cataloging every fatal shooting nationwide by a police officer in the line of duty.
Occasionally cops have to shoot people. Twice as many white people have been killed than black people, who only make up 23% of fatal police shootings. And an unbelievably small portion of those are against unarmed citizens. But don't let facts get in the way of your bull**** narrative."Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."
