I'd imagine some might have some personal experiences, no?

Nope. I have been reading here the whole thing has been made up and it's actually the opposite. White people are the ones who are being discriminated against, not minorities.

Thanks for inserting the word " unilateral " where I did not you dolt! There a reason I didn't use that word. It would have to be collectively bargained I get it. You really are stupid. Take this crap to PPP board!

Your initial post strongly suggested that the league has the power to stop the protests now, not under some future CBA. If you were talking about the league's theoretical right to prevent such protests in the future (subject to the players union's consent, of course) you should have said so, you dolt. And our fearless leader certainly wasn't talking about the owners firing players some time in the future, under some other CBA, was he?

ok thanks.. but who i am to pass judgement on his choices he made thru out his liife

Weren't expecting that source to be produced, were you? Your hero not quite the man you thought he was...

 

Now it's, "Who am I to pass judgement?" while you pass judgement on players who protest.

 

Typical.

The level of delusion in some people is both comical and pathetic.

I'm more annoyed with the thread title than what shady did. Makes it sound like he did something directed at Jim that was disrespectful as opposed to Jim losing respect for shady stretching instead of kneeling or standing with his team. If shady was starring longingly into Jim's eyes while stretching then yea sure I get it.

So the Country should revolt because a few ill informed rich jocks watch CNN and decide that in their view, Police are racists that harass minorites and shoot them for fun.?

 

Read their interviews. Most players understand that most cops are not racists who harass minorities for fun - or any other reason. In fact, many cops are minorities. However, it's a statistical reality that minorities are treated differently than whites overall.

 

Many players aspire to a future color-blind America where this isn't true anymore. Because of the diversity that exists in locker rooms (country boys, city slickers, whites, blacks, etc), players are sensitive to issues of tolerance, acceptance and equality.

 

Personally, I'd like to see us move past all the us-versus-them hostility: Democrats vs. Republicans, black suspects versus white cops, kneelers versus non-kneelers...

 

We're stronger as a country when we see each other as brothers and sisters. We're weaker when we let people divide us.

 

As someone else posted regarding police treatment of minorities...

Has anyone changed their opinion in this thread yet????

I have.

 

I thought a goodly portion of the Racist Denier populace couldn't be bigger idiots or larger in number but I was wrong and now have to recalibrate.

What an embarrassing hot sticking mess. Everyone is offended by everything in the Land of the free, Home of the brave.

 

Since I'm on the other side of the world (Thank God), can someone enlighten me please.

 

I understand how and why these protests began last year, with Keapernick, but... weren't most of yesterdays protests directed more at Trump?

He said something like " wouldn't it be nice if..". If memory serves . I could be wrong. I think they probably do have the power to stop it now by keeping the players in the locker room during the anthem. I don't think that would violate the CBA

Yes they are but there are two people today that are being spotlit. Shady and Villanueva. Shady for not standing with his team but stretching and Villanueva for standing for the pledge instead of staying in the locker room with the rest of the team.

They were a direct result of him calling them SOBs. Yes.
