NFL player sits for US National Anthem but stands for Mexico's National Anthem.

They should bring the draft back. Two years service minimum. Everyone, no exceptions. That would change quite a few misconceptions about the military if people had to actually serve in it.

It would certainly make our chickenhawk legislators think twice before launching new acts of aggression in oil rich regions. Let their sons/daughters go first.

And you are a perfect example of the type of people I was talking about. For some strange reason you continue to think that we are stuck in the 50's when it comes to race. I truly pity you and any young people you come in contact with.

No need to pity me dude .. I'm probably better off than you are.

You seem to believe that race was all about the 50's .. blind as a bat to the problems that still exist.

Your participation is neither requested nor required. There is nothing you have that is of any value to the mission at hand. So relax.

The NFL is not losing attendance because of kneeling protesters, and the NFL is NOT demanding that players stand.

Marshawn Lynch has a net worth of about 50 million dollars .. and he doesn't give a fuck about you either.

Feel sorry for yourself .. but not too sorry .. you might kill yourself. Wouldn't want that.

You are right I have total disdain for those who are lucky enough to be American but choose to disrepect the nation that gives them the freedom to show that disrespect. What an oximoron (lucky to be an American, but nothing about America to be proud of!). If there is nothing about this country to take pride in, then maybe you should find a country you can be proud of and move there. I hear Canada is nice.

Actually, you should do just that. We have enough delusional 'patriots' that end up going on shooting rampages.

Really? I'm a retired inner city HS (and MS:) teacher. 32 years:) (still very active-we're a family, after all-very proud family, as a matter of fact) with academics and coaching:)... Gee...how is it that they didn't run my stupid ass out of the building?
You're hilarious...
Kaepernick put nothing on the line, not for anyone. He should stick to donations, because he's no role model. In fact, our kids, especially our athletes, wouldn't think twice about taking a knee or sitting. Because that's not what you do when the anthem is played. We have all kinds of traditions. You'd be impressed, I'm sure.
We can talk about "at risk" kids anytime you decide that you're ready for a civil conversation.
How do you know I'm not black, btw.? Or, if I am white, How do you know if I don't have an interracial family? I can tell you one thing. Call anyone at our school "blackascoal" and that person would get their stupid ass beat;)

None of your students support Kap? I truly find that hard to believe.

You are wrong on every level.
1. You act like a spoiled brat taking all the freedoms and advantages this country has to offer
Then you support others who give their country the finger!
2. I was subject to the draft!
3. I enlisted in 1965 and retired in 1989 so you are talking out your ass.
4. I saw combat in Vietnam and did my duty.
So in short I find you and people who think like you dispicable.

70 years old, and wasting so much time trying to convince people on a message board that you are more deserving than us? None of my Vietnam era friends spew the nonsense that you do. They weren't proud of what they did.

They also weren't proud of what this nation sent them off to do.

I don't believe you.

You being a retired teacher is nice, I guess .. but I wouldn't want you around my kids, and they wouldn't want you there either.

BLACKASCOAL is a screen name you moron .. and you suggesting that I would get beat up because of a screen name is absolutely moronic .. not exactly something a retired teacher might say.

Your ignorance on Kaepernick is just astounding .. especially from someone who's supposed to be a teacher. Kaepernick didn't put HIS CAREER on the line by taking the stance he did? Stupid.

I'm not interested in your guessing games, I have about all I need to know about you. If you want to have a conversation then go ahead .. but talking to something like you is not exactly high on my things to do list.

I suggest you try civil conversation, which you did not do the first time.

OH pleeeeeeeese! Most mass shooters are malcontents with chips on their shoulders like you. I have yet to head of a patriot shooter.

The point is, you've been wrong about every assumption you've make about me. I'm not surprised you don't want a discussion...
No problem at all.
Your kids would love me...How do you think I've lasted all these years? I'm all about people, not color...
(if one student would refer to another as being "black as coal" they'd get their azz kicked, at least at our school. You don't mock dark skin. I would think you should know that..)
Kaepernick is no hero. Nice of him to donate money. If he gets a contract, he should do more of that. You don't fight social injustice on a football field by shunning an entire country and ignoring/disrespecting the playing of the National Anthem and the raising of the flag...our kids know that. Most people do.
 
You know Top I'm starting to think this clown isn't black at all. He/she doesn't seem to know basic things you would expect a black person to know.

Oh, I'm quite sure he's black. He announces it, after all...I've heard the same things he says here for years and years. People just need to learn that it's not always about race. And that people need to learn to get along as people, not as colors. It's wonderful to be proud of your race and ethnicity. Embrace it. But that's very damaging when there's no way to communicate without having that be the only focus. It's not necessary to lead with race, and pepper the conversation with White this, black that... Something always goes wrong. What did MLK say? Judge people on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

I see you got her fake resume again. We former Amazonites have been treated to that whole "I'm not a racist because I was an inner city sped teacher and I love everyone" schtick for years. Like you pointed out, anyone who's seen how she acts here (and there) wouldn't want her around their kids. BTW, she's white. Her current screen-name "TOP" is a shortened version of her Amazon name. Let's see if you find this post one that 1) a non-racist would tell, and 2) a teacher would tell.

Got an ethnic job joke for you TR...

A black guy walks into his neighborhood welfare office, goes up to the counter and says, "Hi, I'm tired of foodstamps, monthly checks, and other government handouts. I'm ready to get a real job."
The man behind the counter says, "Great--I actually just got a request from a very rich man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You job duties would include driving around in a huge white Mercedes, and the uniforms are provided. The hours are kind of long but you will be given meals and housing. You will be allowed escort the young lady on her cruises and international holidays. The salary package is $250,000 a year, to start."
The guy says, "Ah c'mon, bro, you've got to be bul..s...ting me!"
The man behind the counter said, "Well, you started it!"
Have a great day, TR!
