That's awfully impetuous and impolite.

Is this better for you?

I got your impetuous, hanging.

Interesting that you left this out from your link:

 

People who can't handle NFL protests are canceling their DirecTV sports package

"Ignorance is bliss, especially when it comes to free speech at football games."

 

"That's what Trump supporters and other football fans who can't handle sports activism seem to think."

 

"For the football fans who claim they are bothered seeing athletes standing up (or rather, kneeling) for the right to protest,

DirecTV is caving with refunds to their sports package, the Wall Street Journal reported."

 

 

 

Now, the cry-baby Free Speech deniers, will have to go mooch at a friends house to watch the games. 

Or, sit home alone. Watching Home Alone...

 

 

Post your stupid clips the way you want.  The rest of us have to watch out for the Fair Use Policy.

You left out kneeling.  I hear it's catching on.

Funny how when I got to the end of this article about NFL Sunday Ticket and Direct TV giving refunds.  There is an advertisement for NFL Game pass.  

Is there a discount for kneeling?  

Was able to get a FULL REFUND from @DIRECTV on my #NFLSundayTicket (which auto-renewed).

Nice guy, "Joe", said they have canceled MANY.

Trump has successfully done several things with his ridiculously quixotic campaign:

 

>>>  diverted some attention away from Russia/Trump issues

>>>  has not devoted one word or one dollar to the 3+ million P.Ricans suffering. 

>>>  created deep racial divides 

>>>  convinced even his millionaire former fans (NFL team owners and others) that he's an imbecile.

>>>  Not one coach or team owner has done what Trump shouted at them to do.

>>>  Millions of Americans who weren't already turned off by Trump, are now turned off to him.

I agree.  But, he's really good at one thing...pissing people off!

I'm willing to bet that 99.9 percent of the slobs who share your views never heard of him either.

Another petty post.

This is really getting ridiculous with all the "well what about this other thing that's sort of similar?" and "what about that??" posts.

Free speech doesn't mean it's original or intelligent.

I'll be willing to bet that half of the slobs kneeling during the anthem never heard of this guy!

Many of them are protesting Trump.  And that will just encourage Trump.  He thrives on getting under their skin.

Maybe they should try voting, instead of kneeling.   

He better carry his passport with him, at all times.

So the main issue here is because they are black Americans ?

I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color......  https://www.sbnation.com/2016/9/11/12869726/colin-kaepernick-national-anthem-protest-seahawks-brandon-marshall-nfl

 

So said a black man who was (at the time) getting paid $2m? to play in a sport where over 70% of the players are black, and the average salary is $2M PA.  Mmmmmm.  Something is not quite right.  And I do mean not right.  

 

Meanwhile the American people are speaking in droves, attendance and viewership at NFL games is down and continuing to slide.  Sponsors of players and the NFL are starting to cancel their support. Also meanwhile, Nascar has told all drivers and teams that if they dont stand for the anthem and flag raising, they will be fired.  

 

And of course the MSM and liberals are complaining about what Trump said and his tweets, which is exactly what many Americans have said too. Trump didnt divide America to become the POTUS - he took the conservative patriotic side of the argument - and he won.  

Some of these 'kneelers' are finding out that 'free speech' works both way.  You get to say what you want.  However, you have to listen to what you don't want.

I researched the B1 bomber. An amazing plane. And deadly.

In jungle survival school, we learned how things that make noise are usually harmless.  However,  things you don't hear, or see, is what you should worry about.  Like the B2.  

I prefer female sales people.  They're more knowledgeable and they listen well.

My wife runs interference for me when a pushy sales type comes at us.  It gives me time to look around, without a shadow.  

The Koreans (North or South?) are spamming again.

I'm always amazed at the arm-chair quarterback's ignorance displayed while just making stuff up...

 

Why there are no jocks in beer commercials anymore

"NFL policy prohibits current players from endorsing alcohol and tobacco."

And I defy you to confront any one of the NFL and dismiss them as 'entertainers' to their face.

WTH are you blathering about?  You spent too much time in the Trump thread.  Are you on Twitter too?

I'm always inspired when self-serving, overpaid 'entertainers' take a stand kneel against racism and bigotry and injustice.  At least, until the next beer commercial.

I agree, Professional sports should be about sports. What does the national anthem have to do with football?

It became popular, in baseball, about a decade before Congress made it the official national anthem.

The Korean war was an initiative from the US to operate under the umbrella of the UN. But that was in a time that NK was seeking self determination. 

 

You also must have forgotten that the N+S Koreans fought against the Japanes Empire during WW2. North Koreans remember that time as an occupation where the Japanese army forced NK women to prostitution.

 

Sending here and there a gentle reminder in the sky is not so strange.

 

NK attempts to peace with SK and Japan were systematically stopped by the US...

 

What attempts?  When and how?
