I agree .. but who cares what they think? They've lost this argument in humiliating ways .. but they have no humility, they have no souls.
This is about you and I, and our side.

Colin Kaepernick To Receive Muhammad Ali Legacy Award
“Like Muhammad, Colin is a man who stands on his convictions with confidence and courage,” Ali’s widow says in presenting the Sports Illustrated honor.
Sports Illustrated has just named Colin Kaepernick the 2017 Muhammad Ali Legacy Award recipient for his tireless activist work.
The magazine announced its decision Thursday with Lonnie Ali, Muhammad Ali’s widow, who consults with SI to choose the recipient each year.
“Like Muhammad, Colin is a man who stands on his convictions with confidence and courage, undaunted by the personal sacrifices he has had to make to have his message heard,” Ali said in a statement. “He has used his celebrity and philanthropy to benefit some of our most vulnerable community members. I know the Ali family joins me in congratulating Colin as he receives the 2017 SI Muhammad Ali Legacy Award.”
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jim Brown and Bill Russell were the 2017 co-recipients. In a news release, Executive Editor Stephen Cannella said only a few athletes have “followed [Ali’s] example as fully” as the former San Fransisco quarterback who began kneeling during the pre-game national anthem to protest racial injustice against black people.
“In this noisy political and media environment, it’s easy to forget his core message: that all people in this country deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and recognition of their civil rights,” Cannella said. “Too often that message has been lost in the debate over how it is expressed. Colin has sacrificed much in the name of that message, even as he has furthered it with significant charitable efforts that are making a real difference in communities at the grassroots level.”
The Legacy Award will be presented at the Sportsperson of the Year Awards on Dec. 5. Kaepernick, who remains unsigned to an NFL team, was also recently honored as GQ’s Citizen of the Year.

You are so easily fooled.
You are a sorry excuse for freeing the slaves
The NFL used to play the anthem while the players were in the locker room. But the government started paying the league to have the players on the field.

Good morning! Dec. 1st...hope the rest of the month brings brighter mornings...
One of the saddest articles I've ever read:
https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/201...he-school-where-every-senior-got-into-college
"This about our side".
Giving "trophies and awards", etc. etc. whether they actually deserve them or not. How's that working out?
And a disgraceful verdict in the Kate Steinle case...

It's disgraceful that players can't stand in respect for the flag and the anthem for 2 minutes.
Actually, I would be happy if college players took the field for the anthem. That would be awesome

I served more than a decade, been in every shit hole this ball of water and dirt has to offer and had men die in my arms.
Couldn't give two shits and one wet fart if they stand or don't. Why the hell do you?

Thank you for your service. Very much. God Bless you.
Why? Because I do. And I can
And I Always will.Thank you for your service. Very much. God Bless you.

You certainly can. As is your right. I just find it comical that all these people go high and to the right as they're sitting their fat assess in their chairs as the anthem is playing cause someone else is sitting down.
No need to thank me. The Corps thanked me on the first and fifteenth of every month.

I always thank those who have served our country.
You find it comical, but it offends many of us. And always will.

Gods. Something most of your fellow citizens cannot begin to imagine. Makes this whole kerfluffle over #TakeaKnee seem like a preschool sandbox spat.
The funny thing about all this faux outrage is the whole take a knee shit would have ended shortly after it started if these self-righteous folks simply shut up about it and focused on things that really mattered.
But here we are instead, still talking about it.
