vincec Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I don't agree with saying or doing this, but it's his opinion and right to do so. It's probably going to end up being counterproductive as it hardens views on all sides and prevents people from finding real solutions. But that's probably less important to him than feeling like a revolutionary.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 Yes, Kap...this country oppresses black people so much, we elected one to be it's president. Twice. Freaking idiot. Poof! Everything changed in an instant!
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Big picture vs. little picture, eh?Something like that. I think Kolin just had an emotional night (probably watched something on Fusion channel) and thought to himself, i gotta do something. I wonder if he would do the same in Germany as a Jew during Hitler times. He knows he can get away with being disrespectful to the country he lives in that's why he's "taking a stand" (or non stand i guess) Oh and black people that i know would call Kolin very light skinned.

klos63 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Yes, Kap...this country oppresses black people so much, we elected one to be it's president. Twice. Freaking idiot. the two really aren't related at all.
machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 He has right to free speech and expression within reason "the whole yell fire in a theater", but I also have the right to think he is a POS. That's my right. No country is perfect, but if you hate it so much then live in Canada or Europe in the off season. If I didn't like my job, I'd quit and find work I enjoyed and fulfilled. If I hated living somewhere I'd move. Why place yourself in a place you despise? I do think it is disrespectful not to at least have the decency to stand during the anthem. If you don't wish to sing, place your hand over your heart, that's fine, but to not even stand up is again in my opinion in poor taste.
billsintaiwan Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 The whole national anthem/flag/military honor guard/military jet flyover thing that is now associated with sports in this country is flat out bizarre and really has nothing to do with watching sports. Some of it is flat out paid for by the military as a marketing ploy. Get rid of all of it. Absolutely correct. Completely agree.
klos63 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Get the !@#$ out then Colin you pos.....you always respect your country's anthem no matter what your view points.... A country that has provided him millions of dollars to sling a football in which he basically sucks at We should all do , think and say the same thing. Do what our leaders tell us and not question anything. Maybe we could wear brown uniforms with swastika armbands too!

What do a bunch of women on the sidelines jumping around and shaking their breasts have to do with sports? Same thing.
jimmy10 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Meh. That's the downside of freedoms, many will choose to do douchey things with them. Gotta take the good with the bad.

Even though they're some of the ugliest cheerleaders I've ever seen, i wanna see some titties dammit.

jethro_tull Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 he has the right to act as he chooses, that is what is great about our country (ironically). he also has the right to be booed by his fans (if they choose) or to be criticized by people who think his stance is misguided. maybe a tour of syria might give him some perspective.
The Wiz Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Stuff like this always reminds me of one of my high school teachers, granted I'm sure he was a little racist. Black student: How come black people only get one month for black history month. Teacher: *looks my way* When's Polish history month? Me: *shrugs* Teacher: *looks at another student* When's Irish history month? other student: *shrugs* Teacher: *looks back at black student* Be happy you got one.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 He probably just thinks this might make him relevant again for a few days.Ha ha, that was kind of my thought. I'm okay if he wants to sit. I'm not okay that he wa TD to be relevant.

Setting the bar pretty high, aren't we?

Nothing wrong with showing respect for the country that allowed everyone to assemble in freedom and relative safety. After all, where do americans assemble in such masses? I agree about canning the jet flyovers though.
