DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Who's offended? There's one group that is [reported to be] so emotionally distraught that they need a group therapy session because Trump hurt their feelings, and another bunch of people ridiculing them. And you think those ridiculing them are the snowflakes? they're all snowflakes. anyone bothered by a football player kneeling during an anthem, is a snowflake. does his kneeling affect their life, does it hurt their feelings? doesn't mine. I'll still stand for the flag and just because joe blow football player doesn't isn't going to make me lose sleep, it's his right. is he bitching and moaning at me for standing? no soft society today, real soft.
Mark Vader Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 " abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." So the government saying to fire someone cuz of a legal protest isnt against the first amendment? Oh wait, it is. Again, the if the nfl said it, fine. Businesses can do what they want. Who said they should be fired?
boyst Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 in actuality, from my perspective, it would be those offended by it that are the snowflakes. why some just don't ignore it and watch the !@#$ing game is beyond me. how the hell can we ignore it? The camera zooms in on it, networks cover it 24/7, etc etc When we simply say we are tired of it and don't care we are called out as raysis. If you don't care about this issue you're raysis or Hitler. That's all this country has become. Many don't care enough to chime in. Me. I just have free time and neglecting other responsibilities they're all snowflakes. anyone bothered by a football player kneeling during an anthem, is a snowflake. does his kneeling affect their life, does it hurt their feelings? doesn't mine. I'll still stand for the flag and just because joe blow football player doesn't isn't going to make me lose sleep, it's his right. is he bitching and moaning at me for standing? no soft society today, real soft. this offends me. I need crayons
transplantbillsfan Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 He's spitting on the first amendment by exercising his first amendment rights? Look, I don't like the guy, but this is not scary in any way whatsoever. He's a blowhard that can't take away anyone's rights. He wants attention and reactions, and he knows how to get them from overly sensitive folks (not saying that's you). He found a way to make this about him. Did you just say and do you actually believe the president of the US can't take away anyone's rights? I don't even know which comments they are meeting over, but he's the president of our country. Most powerful man in the world. He has the power to do just about anything. He might not get away with everything. But I don't think anyone's going to stop them from actually doing just about anything.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 ....got it....worrying about who is kneeling when, where, how or why because the Prez advertised his opinion?.... so we can no longer focus on oh FER 17 with #18 under our nose?,,,,got it...............let's get back to football....
SlamnSam Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I don't sit down to watch the game until about 25 second till kickoff, so the anthem, and what the players, coaches or fans do during the anthem doesn't concern me in the least. BUT...I now actively HOPE that every player in the NFL kneels. What a STUPID stance for the President of The United States of America to take. This !@#$ing clown makes me sick. Hey mod why isn't this ahole banned for spouting politics?

They don't even really start broadcasting the game until kickoff much anymore unless its primetime.
metzelaars_lives Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Hope Pegula lays down the iron fist to these dancing monkeys. Just play the music and dance for us, Mr bonjangles. We will throw you peanuts, we will cheer. Just shut up and danceWow.

HappyDays Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 they're all snowflakes. anyone bothered by a football player kneeling during an anthem, is a snowflake. does his kneeling affect their life, does it hurt their feelings? doesn't mine. I'll still stand for the flag and just because joe blow football player doesn't isn't going to make me lose sleep, it's his right. is he bitching and moaning at me for standing? no soft society today, real soft. Great way of putting it. No one taking a knee is trying to force anyone to join them. It's really not a big deal. People getting angry are just proving their point.
transplantbillsfan Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Um, it's only against the constitution for the government to oppress speech. That is what Trump is doing. Citizens have the right to not have their speech squashed by the government, which is literally what Trump did. If the NFL fired a player for it, it would be sad, but not against the most important, and first, ammendment. Huge difference, my man. Can someone please tell me which contemptible comment the team is so upset about?
PABillsfan23 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I can not believe the way people are reacting to what the President said. What's the big deal? People are so easily offended anymore. It's quite saddening
boyst Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Great way of putting it. No one taking a knee is trying to force anyone to join them. It's really not a big deal. People getting angry are just proving their point.a lot of the anger is coming from those who are tired of hearing about it and tired of an issue that has been proven false continue to get attention for a political goal which is dangerous to our country. That's where the anger is. No one can simply ignore this issue.

I don't pay any attention to it and frankly, I can't remember the last time I listened/watched an anthem before a game. I allow anyone to choose how they want to live as long as it does not affect my life. kneeling for an anthem, does not affect my life whatsoever. here you go: Edited September 23, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973

If he does something unconstitutional, he can be impeached. Very simple.

Rico Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 The Donald = greatest troll ever. Maybe some team gives Kaep a job now after all this.
transplantbillsfan Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 He's not oppressing free speech in any way whatsoever. He hasn't signed any kind of EO requiring folks to say/not say what they want. He's not pushing for legislation. He's simply voicing his opinion that owners should fire players for protesting (which, as you point out, they can)...rightly or wrongly. Oppressing free speech would include inflicting violence against those that say things with which you don't agree, etc...it's important, IMO, to consider who does such things. Oooooohhhhh... that comment. Now I see. Completely understandable why players would get so upset.
