I'm fairly certain that wearing apparel celebrating the life and career of Fidel Castro is going to ban you from a public facing job in Miami. Heroes don't worship Commie Dictators. That is the province of shallow attention whores. . .

who the **** cares what castro was doing on that shirt, unless he was being tortured, hanged or whatever turrible thing happneing on him it is wrong.

hwo would you feel if i had a hitler shirt him meeting with whatever historical person pre world war 2. we act like hitler is the greatest evil on earth. him and him alone are repsonible for the turroible things that happned the whoel 20th century.

but stalin, castro and others are just as worse!

maybe now you get it!

Here's the thing. You want a hero that stood up to oppression and actually made a sacrifice? There's Muhammad Ali. THAT dude was a hero. Kap is a dictator kissing poser. You want people to respect you on your "human rights" issue? Don't glorify Castro. And no, there is no context where wearing him on your shirt is "ironic." Nobody wears a shirt with a picture of Hitler as a "historic curiosity." That is asinine.

Dudes this season aren't kneeling to highlight police brutality, they are doing it because they don't like Trump. Let's not pretend it is about something greater now, even if at some point it was. It is the same do-nothing response that we are going to get with players wearing pink shoes all of October to generate more money for the CEO of the Susan G. Koman foundation.

Many of these players have been active off the field. Visiting schools, donating money, personal interviews, soup kitchens, clothing drives, scholarship funds... I hardly call that doing nothing.

As for the reason, that is a mixed bag. Some are still doing it for reasons beyond the President.

what I find the most entertaining is that the Flag stands for a lot of things and you cant choose what part of what it stands for and disrespect it and not disrespect it for everything it stands for.

The flag stands for freedom of speech but you claim that is what your right is and then disrespect that right.

IF I went to my job and made political statements I wouldn't have a job for very long. Honestly is that the best time for them to be political. IF you want to take a stand do it on your own time.

This whole argument is so flawed. Now with that said do things need to change of course.

BTW Donald trump IS NOT the American flag.

Exactly! This is ********! Screw the Jazz players for not respecting the flag! Why dint they have Rudy come out an say the team is gonna put there hands over there hearts in the unity that the flag an America was meant to be from the get go?

Then he kin axe for a French anthem an a Aussie anthem an a Spanish anthem sung in placement for some games this year. IN UNITY!

kap has been complaining on social media. even going on with talcum x aka martin luther cream talking about strugles and muh racism!

Complaining about racism that exists? That seems like something worthy of complaining about.

Obviously this stuff is hard for you to understand since you are not American and get your information about this place from suspect sources or your brief visits.

Are those photoshopped? Anyone???

I know for sure the one next to Melania isn't. Trump ended up putting his hand over his heart after Melania nudged him. I don't think the other one is photo shopped either, but I'm not sure of the context. The photographer may have just caught him before he figured out that everybody else had their hand over their heart and then followed suit.

There was another incident at the Gerald Ford commissioning that he again didn't put his hand over his heart, so I doubt the one picture is photo shopped, as he seems to have done this several times.

Trump sneakily joining the anthem protests. Nice.
