Watched the Super Bowl with my father. He brought up Kap and how his kneeling had no place in sports. I bit my tongue very hard after saying I disagree (we have a no politics DMZ after prior issues). Made me rage and sad.
Politics in sports is boring.
It's okay to not want to think about the state of the world while you enjoy some game where people hurt each other for a ball used to score points.
There's an opportunity today to get the word out to a lot of people at the Super Bowl. Whether from the athletes in the field or the artists during half-time. Make it a Jesse Owens versus Hitler moment. https://sports.yahoo.com/internet-lot-nfl-removing-end-161836077.html and fact check the commercials
It’s amazing that while a slow-motion coup is happening, millions are unable to put down their chicken wings, even for a day. No wonder we have no agitation in the streets. They’re too busy watching the coup half-time special. 🤷🏻♂️
Most of the time, most people live under a more or less evil empire. The U.S. was a bold attempt to liberate humanity, affirming equality and inalienable rights as self-evident truths. Trump's relocation plan is Un-American; we have an alternative: https://laroucheorganization.com/larouche-plan-southwest-asia
When he first did it, I will admit I didn’t see the big deal. It wasn’t until I saw the reactions he got, that I understood what he was standing against.
Now all Americans fighting for their rights
Fighting to keep their government jobs
Keep their farms
Women’s Rights
It’s amazing how shit play out ..huh
NFL knew Eminem would kneel to say FU to Trump!
But played the we did not know! Like a fiddle for tRump!
Then they have had End Racism in end zones! Now they remove it! DEIA insanity! WH Wednesday Black History Month dinner?
But all agencies banned speak of any POC awareness and celebration days
Yes, it’s Super Bowl is this weekend! And you've probably also heard: Donold Trump will also be there! Oh, and perhaps not coincidentally: The NFL is removing the lettering from the end zone on its football fields that reads "END RACISM"! 😡
They are going with choose love instead.
Wait, what? So deporting every Mexican person, starting trade wars with your allies, wanting to invade other countries and start wars, cutting funding for needy children, seniors, and families, is choosing love?
The fuck?
Pretty sure he forced them to remove it with that ridiculous other slogan. How exactly are ya loving all 😆. MAGA & all in cult are racist so if you're black then you're racist against yourself 🤔
Absolutely. What Kaepernick did was the right thing to do, the people who were outraged at him had and have their priorities way out of whack, and I’ll never be convinced otherwise.
Remember the hate from the right about this? But attacking our Capitol and beating cops with American flagpoles was ok. America is upside down. We need to fix that.
I’ll Never Forget! —His True American Bravery And Strength To Uphold America’s Constitutionality!! Or The Racism And Cowardice Of NFL Owners—Nor The RACISM—Trump And GOPs —Called American Values!!!
The cheers for President Trump were loud. They booed Taylor. Suck it up, buttercup- the pendulum swang extreme MAGA Republican right. Americans are happy again, and it hasn’t even been a month. Tomorrow, Obama loses his clearance-justice is so American.
100%. That orange fucktard felon & his master make me sick to my stomach every day. I would flee to Canada if I could. Following you. Need some sanity.
My Company gives an opportunity to give a chance to individuals who are willing to be useful and interested to invest in Tesla!
Ask me HOW!! (Telegram)👇👇
Hoping for all starters on bended knee and booing when 🍊 💩 is shown on the big screens. They can’t take all the players out of the game. And if fined, all monies going to DEI charities and foundations as well as cancer research!
grammar is for pedants like my great uncle, a professor emeritus of englissh literature and chair of the English department at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas for more than a decade. he would be appaled by my work.but he would cite my compatness of expression-- WORDLIMITDEMON
Absolutely ! Some MAGA stated they stopped watching football because of this hero. I wonder if these MAGA are watching again? So the NFL is just another dissappointment as orange lipped ass kissers.
Drumpf ruins everything for polite racists (aka the white middle class) because his crazy shit tends to draw their hypocrisies further out into the light of day! Musk can salute, yet Colin can't kneel. Explain that?
I know about the resistance. And it began long long long before Trump with the devoted attentions of many in the white middle class. So if you're thinking that all of a sudden there needs to be a resistance or have just joined it...... That could be a problem
As I do. My objections are your gross stereotype of your comment (aka the white middle class) Never the time for that type of division. My comment had nothing to do with anything all of a sudden
He also has devoted followings in every other class, but we treat them individually. Because dividing people into classes is part of the problem isn't it?
All I'm saying is stay out there and call out the bigotry wherever it is whenever you see or hear it. This has been my life's work since I was born. way before Kennedy was president. My conscience is clear. Good luck to you and fight the fight with every relative every coworker every friend Piece!
All I'm saying is don't blanket out your allies. My friends and family will be there by anyone's side to fight and have been all my life too. I've also lived with racial discrimination, from both sides. But still, stereotyping is not conducive.
Peace.
I know that. But it isn't me who has a racist uncle Bob or Cousin Susie who I've never confronted about their bigotry. So if you have friends like that encourage them to call it out. We all need to do everything we can and that's always been true long before Trump.
Not at all. Only people who implement a totalitarian government, believe there is a superior race and apply total loyalty to the leader - as stated in the definition
I don’t like admitting that at the time of this event, I didn’t understand. How times have changed. My non-white descendants are teaching me. I’m listening
He deserves criticism. Not for kneeling. But because he is a fake. For all his self righteousness, all he accomplished was making millions from Nike. Look up what goes into making Nikes if you don’t already know.
I am still mad that only a dozen took a knee with him. But now that I just saw white women in the US vote against their rights, I need to read your paper, please, so this does not happen in Canada.
Terrible Professor, in my opinion. By taking a knee, I thought people would pay attention to his message on violence against POC. Instead, people cared more about an anthem. The words of an anthem mean nothing without any action behind it.
Exactly! I was quite surprised more people didn't support him on this. He was respectfully protesting, as allowed by the 1st Amendment. There's no doubt in my mind, though, that if an NFL player wanted to stand on the sideline with his gun, somehow that would garner a whole hell of a lot of support.
Seriously your professor has no business critiquing anything except your grammar, syntax, logic, and the accuracy of your research. That is a tenet of Pedagogy. Additionally, public humiliation if bullying which is against the law. Ethics as taught at the college level is codified in curriculum.
I fully agree with Kapernicks protest and fully supported him and thought he should not have been banned but do not like the guy.
He is a sexist and said horrible things very untrue if Hillary Clinton.
We should not hold him up too high because he is a sexist.
Yes, that is what I feel most, ashamed and mortified. MAGA twits suggest I "cry harder," the utterly ignorant tools. This shit is worthy of action, no time for tears. I need some leaders to lead me in action. I'm ready!
At least he tried . . . and people remember the stand/knee he took. He sacrificed his career and his overall income stream to bring attention to a cause many people had no idea existed or couldn’t give a 💩 about. You may not remember anything about his 🏈 career but you will remember his courage.
This might sound odd and hopefully not inappropriate, but when I think of him I also think of the late Sinead Oconnor and her call-out of the Catholic Church. It essentially ended her career but people soon realized the truth. This man is a brave, honourable individual, then and now
I remember that so vividly.what a very fine and courageous young man and then he was so horribly mistreated all because of an orange sociopathic liar racist. Now he is back ruining as many lives as possible
He was treated poorly because America are a bunch of racist cowards, not for some other reason. People can boogey-man the orange rapist all they want, but some things are the responsibility of the people in this country, and that’s one of them.
Stop buying tickets, turn off the tv, stop buying merchandise. It’s easy. Don’t want any more Walmart? Stop giving them money. Don’t want child labor? Stop buying those products. It’s easy. Don’t like billionaires, stop buying their products, working in their factories, or putting money in the bank
This must be done at the Super Bowl today in dishonor of donald trump. If I was there I would not stand, nor would I sing. FYI, me not singing would be a blessing to those within earshot.
Standing up for Injustice is standing up for veterans too. The flag only means what it represents at any point of time it is in. When we take the knee, it means that we are standing up to the injustice of what it has been made to represent now.
I'm a veteran, and I'm more than OK with what he did. And he consulted with a veteran, who told him this type of protest wasn't disrespectful. We fought hard for his right to protest the way he did.
The cameras shot tight views upward on individual players' faces and really did not show a broad view, so you could not tell if someone was kneeing or not. They did showe fFotus,only briefly, saluting 🙄next to his dream girl, Ivanka. I can't with these people🙄
My husband is boycotting the Super Bowl. This is a first time ever thing. Of course I am wearing my Nike assemble. But his boycott announcement shocked me. He refuses to watch because he cannot stand of the sight of Chump. "But what if Chump chokes on a hot dog while ogling teenage girls?" asked I.
I’m surprised but when I let my husband know I was not up to watching this year…he agreed to join me. We are having superbowl snacks but just finalizing the decision on what shows to watch instead. I will say the halftime show looked like a good one this year.
He literally had the nerve to tell me that he hung around with cops and guard members, and that could make me disappear, I said you think that bothers me.
The image of the US flag against their nasty, stinking ass as underwear, or people flying that traders Confederate flag, and the Supreme Court says that is a form of free speech and protected. This doesn’t bother me.
I remember when this happened had a coworker ask me about it I said I had no problem with this peaceful protest, as you should too, it was his constitutional right! He was so mad called me unAmerican as veteran this should piss me off, I told him that if I had to put up with people wearing1/2

Shit, Colin should troll Trump and get into the stands at Caesars Superdome.

For doing this, this is what respecting the flag is! Not demeaning it like frumpy
There’s only so much insanity one can take.
Need to focus on home turf.
I am now going to go to my closet and get out my Kaepernick jersey to watch the Superbowl
I could live comfortably and travel with a million for the rest of my life
It's not what you have it's what you do with it
EloNazi has a void in his life that can never be filled and so does Trump
I was just saying that financially we can't compare musk & Kaepernick. However, if Tesla stock crashes then that might be a different story.
Also when Trump dies Melania smirks and Ivanka gets misty I'll clap my hands the entirety of his eulogy
OJ killed his Ehite wife and had the money to hire a lawyer to get away with it
He can take his far right-wing nutter dipshit ass somewhere else.
What a true good man does.
