Hypernationalism is cancer to society but good way to garner votes

when you tell that you are going to show your voters hollow dreams of making a 3200 KM wall that will cost $100 billion and making the other side pay for it you would need to divert attention later on when it all turns out farce

Personally I could care less about the NFL and whatever protest the players are trying to show. Don't care if someone doesn't want to stand up during the pledge, cause most of the people who are upset don't anyways while they sit on the couch.
But I can understand why people are choosing to boycott the NFL. People are getting sick and tried of everything involving politics or some shows pushing support over a bs protest,political opinion,etc that's one sided. Expecting people to support it and if you don't then you're automatically a racist,white supremacist,koon,etc.
And just like the players has a right to kneel in front of viewers, the people have the right to stop giving them money. This goes for both sides though.

I 100% support their decision to not watch and protest. However, saying the people kneeling are disrespecting the flag during the national anthem are just ridiculous. They are using that as an excuse not to listen to the actual meaning behind the protest.

a "no reasons why" type of response...a response made with no real reason behind it.

But who cares.

I find it to be disrespectful. It's disrespectful to every American in American history, past, present, and future. There's no need to protest the pledge, because the issues have nothing to do with the country at large. It's just a bunch of morons who equate police corruption with the entire country behind in cahoots in some grand racial scheme.

USA is culturally degrading anyway, nobody cares about transgender service people and plus sports people and famous people should stick to what they are good at, not projecting their uninformed political bias.

You mean like the president?

In reality, it doesn't represent anything, it's really just a delusion.Think for yourself.

I think you have a contradictory personality. You've said firstly in this thread and in other threads, ''Too much self-righteousness and self-entitlement.'' and you're doing the same thing yourself. Besides, that you're delusional because every flag in every country represents national ideals; the US flag represents liberty and democracy. Poor parts of the world, people would wish they live in America because of the ideals America stands for and the flag is a representation of those ideals.

As much as I hate meaningless protests, you're one of the people I despise too; the type of people who live in delusions and are never grateful for what they are blessed with. There are unfortunate people who try to migrate to the US to try escape poverty and injustice, because the US is built on opportunities; the flag represents that.

Yo what's funny is back in the day NFL players would actually take a knee, they just started standing not too long ago because of a military endorsement. This is probably some distraction bullshit, whenever people wild like this over stupid shit. Like the color of a dress, some other more scandalous shit is happening on the low.

You're presumption of me.That's what you THINK.You say that, but I deeply believe you really haven't a clue, and are just jumping to conclusions about me.I deeply believe that you're just trying to convince that it's true.

But that's okay.You can despise me all you want, I don't live for you.And you don't know me from a can of paint.And I'm quite aware that ever country has a flag, by f*cking standard.Me, this guy, doesn't care.

You're self-righteous and self-entitled. There's a difference with me, and where I come from.

Damn that's facts. I remember playing football when I was younger and we would kneel with our helmets off.

For most people,that may be true that they are using the national anthem as an excuse not to listen. Even though they may know what the protest is about but refuse to accept it.
Or they refuse to listen because the media and the supporters are claiming anyone who doesn't support it is automatically a racist /white supremacist,koon,Uncle Tom,etc. First it was racist to support the NFL and now it's racist to not support the NFL/players. People are getting tired of celebrities and athletes trying to force politics or propaganda onto others. People watch sports to take a break from the everyday nonsense that is politics.

But there are people (a few of which I know who had served in the military) legitimately upset over those players disrespecting the flag to push a protest , when they can do it after the national anthem or on their own time. Especially when #TakeAKnee isn't going to do anything. People are just talking about the players taking a knee and not that blacks are facing "oppression"...

You don't live for me, that's true, but remember this, shitbag: the electronic device you're using was invented by someone who respected the flag. The Wi-Fi you're connecting to was invented by someone who respects the flag. The rights you're enjoying is because of people who respected. The TV shows, movies, wealth, food and abundance of resources you use in your pathetic life was because of people who are nationals of the flag you're disrespecting, you piece of garbage and crap.

You're all for show.Trynna preach to the choir.Assumptions added in their too, not convinced.

Go f*cking burn in hell. You self-righteous, conclusive, rehearsed, regurgitated, globe trotter. You haven't a clue as who you're talking to. You can't preach to me, you're entirely too misinformed.And you say and do things, just for credit...like those same people who make those shows, movies, wi-fi...etc. ALL FOR CREDIT.

You do it for credit, we take, we consume...nothing more.
