Hello Trump Diva,
No BS. I made extremely valid points which you blew off in order to focus on this one thing that you can't get our of your head. It is a thing which was placed there by the president. You have allowed our leader to do your thinking for you; and that is very dangerous to our freedom.
True, and I would not choose that form of protest myself, but you don't even want to TALK about why they have done that. You refuse to see beyond this simpleton mental block placed in your head by our president. It is sad some people can be so easily manipulated by a demagogue.
No. Our freedom is not that simple. You are not their boss. You are but one fan among many. And yours is NOT the dominant position!
SOME fans are appalled. OTHERS are paying attention to the reason these players would do this seemingly anti-American thing. Is it REALLY anti-American? These players ARE Americans. They are not SAYING anything bad about America. They are SAYING our country has some problems which need to be addressed. If these problems did not exist, they would not be engaging in this form of protest which, btw, is protected by our great Constitution, and the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Some Trump supporters have this tendency to believe that they are the majority, that theirs are the most popular views, but that just isn't true.
And what makes you think these protesting players are 'braindead?' Football is not just a physical sport. Players have to be smart enough to know what to do on the field, and how to train for that. These are the best players in the country. They are not dummies.
They are smart enough to know that an NFL career lasts a little more than a decade, that they only have that much time to make all the money they will ever make out of it, and that they will have national name recognition only as long as they are actively playing, and that they only have this one time window of public recognition in which to make a statement. They give up quite a bit, take a huge risk with their career to further this worthy cause, which you, apparently, refuse to even acknowledge the existence of the problem. They have far more vested in this than you do. And some of them probably know people who have been wrongly abused or even killed by police simply because they are black.
If you and others don't even understand or want to admit why these players are protesting in this way, then the protests are totally warranted.
