Interesting viewpoint on kneeling during the anthem
 

At a high school football team last weekend one of the football players was behind me in line at the snack bar and made an interesting comment.... He said "They are sending us mixed messages... We kneel when there is an injured player on the field out of respect, but kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful.".

Think about it for a moment.

Nothing to do with kneeling. Not standing at attention during the anthem is disrespectful.

Having an orange baboon in the white house is more disrespectful

The disrespect angle is a smoke screen and a bucket of shit.

The "disrespected people" are upset that Blacks are protesting police brutality; simple as that.

If Black players waited until the game was over and held up a sign outside the stadium about
police brutality then the same people would bitch moan and whine about that.

shut the fuck up :thumbsup

The national anthem was derived from our battle for Independence against the British crown. So when you kneel to the national anthem, you are kneeling to the crown.

When you are against someone expressing their constitutional right, you are also kneeling to the crown!

When a president is against someone expressing their rights, wraps it around patriotism, and you agree with him, then you are kneeling to a tyrant

I disagree. Kneeling is a sign of respect. We kneel in church; Men kneel when they propose to a woman. This is why high school football players and cheerleaders kneel when there is an injured player on the field. When you kneel during the national anthem, you are showing respect. Please do not tell me when you kneel you are showing respect to "the crown" - That's like saying when a man kneel when proposing to a woman he is showing respect to his last girlfriend.

Hahaha suckers.

Not knowing history or how the anthem came about is disrespectful. The anthem has nothing to do with our battle for independence, which btw started from people protesting the unfair treatment and taxes from the crown. hmmm, imagine that.

The anthem came from a poem written about the battle at Fort McHenry during the war of 1812 and how the flag flew high during the defense and victory.

Considering the poem/anthem has a verse about no one saving slaves except their grave, followed up with the land of the free and home of the brave, can anyone with a rational mind really expect the decedents of said slaves to really stand and respect the song?

But I digress, as the current protests are not aimed at the flag, the anthem or the military, but instead aimed at this country's long history of police brutality.

So it is history like Confederwte flags so no big deal at all.

There is a lone in the national anthem about how the British gave freeedom to slaves who fought on their side. The national anthem was pro slavery just a FYI.

Obedient citizens need to stand during the anthem in nkorea...it is part of the brainwash to keep them obedient...

The almighty dollar has caused more bloodshed and heartache than anything else. Money is the root of all evil. Burn all your money. Give it all away.

You won't do it because you're a fake plastic puppet. You're nothing but a brainless sheep being led to slaughter. You're illogical and full of contempt.

If you eat at my dinner table you take off your fucking hat. That is respect. I don't give a fuck what you're protesting. It's dinner time.

The National Anthem was written by a brit named Francis Scott Key.


:1orglaugh

Think about what?

I'm sure I can find a quote from another high school player who supports and understands what the players are doing

Shit I could make up a quote like many do in order to support their bullshit

Highlighted words translated : Any slave trying to escape was and will be killed.


A pro slavery song advocating and celebrating the murder of slaves who tried to escape.

If you're implying that they have no respect those that Neil I agree with you

Dude if you're going to be but hurt about shit that happened hundreds of years ago you are going to be a busy mother fucker have fun with that lol

Besides Mr monsters you don't give one fuck about slavery you only care about black people and you're barely care about them

Kneel Young?

Oh hell yeah

Bullshit. Everyone was in danger; free man and slave.

Who is spoon feeding you this shit? There is nothing pro slavery in that verse. Reading comprehension isn't your forte.

Deep thoughts by Rochard...

Here's the latest one.

Cop shot a black teenage male for reaching. He was supposedly going for his cellphone to call his mom. The SJW libtards will say that is not justified.

Thing is, this thug was found to have a gun in his pants. That's what he was going for. The cop "showing restraint" and not shooting him may have gotten the cop killed here.

You should be proud you live in a country where you're free to protest things others don't like.

they should be allowed to do whatever they want
