It's ok for nazis, it's not ok for blacks. Sick and tired of hearing when a person of color should and should not protest, where and when.
Thumps up for the entire NFL organization to stand united against this looser bully so called president.
When and where is nobody's call except those who are involved as long as they obey the law, not some internal 'rules'.
Don't want to see it don't watch it. Salute away if you want.
It's not about disrespecting the flag, the vets, as Trump wants to spin it, it's about protesting the fact that this country has problems with racism.
Calling for them to get fired is nothing but bullying and oppression of blacks. Calling them SOB's in public is deranged.
I call it what it is. Racism. Give me a break with the whining about someone kneeling. Snow flakes melting and turning into puddles.
Want some cheese with that whine ?!

Not really sure everyone was united, but keep telling yourself that.

I don't have to tell myself that, I saw it.

Yes, black lives matter too just as much as white lives. Believe it or not.

: “As I write this twenty years later, I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world.”

 

 

There I was, the black grandson of a slave, the son of a black sharecropper, part of a historic occasion, a symbolic hero to my people. The air was sparkling. The sunlight was warm. The band struck up the national anthem. The flag billowed in the wind. It should have been a glorious moment for me as the stirring words of the national anthem poured from the stands. Perhaps, it was, but then again, perhaps, the anthem could be called the theme song for a drama called The Noble Experiment. Today, as I look back on that opening game of my first world series, I must tell you that it was Mr. Rickey’s drama and that I was only a principal actor. As I write this twenty years later, I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world. In 1972, in 1947, at my birth in 1919, I know that I never had it made.

By choice you see what you want. If you truly care then you would understand that the 'title' as you call it represents a belief that blacks matter as much as whites and because a racist society still doesn't quite get it, BLM came to life.
Be honest with yourself. Do some research.

I don't think access to the data is the issue on CEHEST

When one tries to fit facts into a packed agenda suitcase all I can say is : To thine own self be true !

To be authentic and honest with oneself is what makes one sleep at night, to pack an agenda is miserable living.

Here Trump goes again...

 

Trying to break the law, but failing horribly at the execution. Just like with obstruction. 

 

If he had his way, he'd be guilty.

Heard a report that someone actually researched how many NFL players knelt, etc. this past weekend.  It was apparently 12%.  Didn't catch the numerical figures.

So there was a 100% participation?  Not from what I read.

I'm not going to fact check it myself, but this link has a list of the games this past weekend and goes through how many kneeled/sat.

 

It leaves out the teams that "locked arms" in protest. They were still protesting, but their body positioning we assume is acceptable to our President so they are fine. I mean their hands weren't on their hearts, and many weren't facing the flag...but I digress.

His voters do not care what the law says. He could shoot someone on the street  in the middle of the day and they still drool over him, as he stated.
