Agreed.
The military pays them to play it.
He seemed to be taking orders from his girlfriend (rumors of coverting to Islam) and she had some pro communism anti-government stuff. I didn't feel he was clear what he was protesting... he was also being benched... none of that was wrong at all... I just wasn't sure exactly what he was protesting and what the motivations were behind it.
I see and admire your evolution on these and other topics, m’friend.
A big part of him doing what he did was due to conversations he had with actual cops and their experiences with dirty cops. He even said he wanted to give a voice to those that didn’t have a voice.
I feel he was very clear why he was protesting in answering questions from reporters after that first game he sat.
I just remembered watching highlights and ESPN showing him sit. I was upset. Then heard why, and felt a sense of pride. It seemed like a worthwhile reason to do what he did. To further that a young man in the military felt he dishonored the flag by sitting and asked him to kneel, the people questioning his reasons for protest should look at this fact. He listened to the service man and followed his instructions. Those are the actions of a man who is sincere about what he is doing.
You mean the taxpayers? Cool priorities, America.
I definitely wouldn’t question sincerity now but the stuff I mentioned earlier and the pig socks and Castro shirt... at the time I kinda felt like maybe it was like when Kyrie was talking about flat earth.
I think most of us are guilty of this. I know I was. Kap doing what he did made me look at these things and opened up my eyes. The measure of a man is what they do with knowledge they receive.
Man, the jazz Facebook page is the worst. So many people pissed off about the jazz players predicted kneeling.Anyone here who has an IG, Twitter, or Facebook, be sure to drop supportive comments on all those on the Jazz and guys social medias. It's important to show support to them!
I put this thread out there as well:
Some great articles/messages ahead of game 1 return!
So figured I'd throw this thread up before game 1 tomorrow. Excited to have basketball back, excited to have the Jazz back. Excited we get back to games that actually matter. So here's the message before game 1. Be supportive. And even go leave a message of support on social media posts by the...jazzfanz.com
Yep, they didn't care at all about the anthem before lol. But yeah, leaving positive comments on socials is important. The vocal idiots unfortunately will always be there and drowning them out is important. People are weird and its the most casual of idiots thats go saying stupid stuff. Many are probably not even fans just simply people who have seen news reports about it and go comment. Just like Trump pages, they always find there way to any negative posts about him and flood the comments with garbage. Facebook in general is the worst, garbage all over the comment sections across there.
Or do the anthem prior to the players taking the court.
Leave my precious anthem alone! Wah. I'm a baby and can't handle the idea that people have an issue they want to bring attention to. It makes me feel so insecure.
Yep, they have a contract with all the sports leagues.
