Second, if protest at solemn occasions is patriotism, then the purposes of the protest or the nature of the solemn occasion should not matter, . . . again according to your logic.
Kneeling, in no way, disrespects the flag or the anthem. Even you understand that.

Lol at dodging the most simple, straightforward question. Shows your true colors - pure smarmy bad faith. When you know you can't win - bail.

I'll give you one more chance - why is kneeling disrespecting the flag and/or the troops - but "home of the CHIEFS" is not?

Should be super easy to poke holes in my argument, no?

I had a debate with him back when the kneeling was going on. To Babs, the flag represents the police force lol

Imagine feeling that way.

Not kneeling - still vilified.

Quote:
Smith and Carlos were largely ostracized by the US sporting establishment and they were subject to criticism. Time magazine on October 25, 1968, wrote: "'Faster, Higher, Stronger' is the motto of the Olympic Games. 'Angrier, nastier, uglier' better describes the scene in Mexico City last week."[18][19] Back home, both Smith and Carlos were subject to abuse and they and their families received death threats.[20] Brent Musburger, a writer for the Chicago American before rising to prominence at CBS Sports and ESPN, described Smith and Carlos as "a couple of black-skinned storm troopers" who were "ignoble," "juvenile," and "unimaginative."[21]
But hey, just takes 40 years for the public to come around.

Quote:
Smith and Carlos received an Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2008 ESPY Awards honoring their action.[27]

This is a very reasonable response.

But wearing a Castro shirt and pig socks was disrespectful and flat out hypocritical.

He’s a phony. His method of protest made no sense and distracted from his message. He never had anything of value to say. No real solutions.

Loser.

I can't imagine he's actually that stupid.

On a related note, it's interesting to see him post in the lounge. I think he spends most of his time on the DC side.

suzzer99 06-03-2020 09:51 PM
Yeah he doesn't really like to engage on equal footing.

I think he's just waiting for this thread to get moved to DC where the toothless zombies like jaa can swarm and gum it to death.

Yeah, I'm not going to defend either of those. But, that's him. A lot of players knelt without those things and were clearly not being disrespectful to the flag or anthem.

Are you mistaken, or are you lying? I have an educated guess.

I have absolutely no problem with the kneeling.

Just think it didn’t make much sense and distracted from the issue which he also failed to ever really address or provide solutions too.

This from the guy who welched on a pledge to leave, then went around the internet recruiting minions to brigade the forum.

All you want is war. If someone says something reasonable, you reinterpret it for something inflammatory or confrontational.

You personify so much that is wrong with the world.
