All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

The Pig Cop socks really hurt his message. Not cool at all. But he did seek the help of military personnel to see how he can protest and still respect officers and law enforcement. Pig socks were immature.....admitting a mistake is what people should do.

The idiot had no idea the amount of backlash he'd get. He thought it was cute to kneel. Pretty much his version of "hands up don't shoot". Ordered some pig socks from stopshootingblackrobbers.com... Everyone hated it, and his only play was to try to pretend he's only trying to help the community.

Glad he stuck his nose up to Denver. That was his last NFL opportunity. Loser

The more interesting part to me when two entities like the NFL and Nike being so huge, and tied hand in glove, how does one go against the other?

Sorry, he got caught telling the truth about how he really feels. You are telling me a lot if those people he sought the "help" from did not tell him to stand during the anthem and use his fame to speak up about injustice in other ways? I call bullshit.

I've talked to military veterans that not only hated the states, but the world over. How fucking novel.

You've said you think cops are dicks. Not sure where "pigs" and "dicks" measure on a disrespect scale, but your outrage is goofy and forced.

Ask Green Beret Nate Boyer why he suggested kneeling for the anthem.

It does raise an interesting point. Conservative politicians and pundits have spent years treating military vets as a monolithic demographic that can't speak for itself. They cite "the troops" for brownie points. It's like "think of the kids". Couldn't be more phony to me, especially considering how they constantly try to gut the VA budget.

Yet, I stand. Some cops being dicks and parts of the system being rigged does not trigger me to disrespect those who have died to defend all that we have and all that is good.

We stand in unity. If we all sat in every protest we have, no one would be standing. Division over the 1% of things we disagree on rather than unity over the 99% we agree on would rule. We do not stand in agreement that we have reached perfection. We stand in agreement that where ever we go, it will be together and to respect the sacrifices of those who made it all possible.

So the difference is you uphold a symbolic gesture that has no tangible effect on the real world. Okay?

You can find someone who will suggest strangling puppies to send a message. We have all stood for decades for a reason.

I stand because in that moment, it is not about me. And our unity has had quite a tangible effect in shaping the world. America's chief export has been culture.

Sorry, just don't care much about symbolic gestures. I care about action. Results. Things you can measure.

Kaep's protest has probably been the most useful thing America has gotten out of the anthem in quite a while. It forced conversations people desperately wanted to avoid, and clearly still want to avoid given the way they shape the conversation as "protesting the anthem" rather than "protesting police brutality". A lot more interesting than people scurrying to get beers and hot dogs before kickoff. Really, we shouldn't even have the anthem at these events. It's goofy and the military ends up footing the bill. What a waste.

More helpful to military personnel: supporting veteran groups or standing up during a song? I know what the Republican answer is.

No tangible effect on the real world. Oye. Let's not do any of those things, like praying. Kissing a sick loved ones head at night. Kill fucking hope itself while you are at it. Symbolic gestures mean more than maybe you think they mean, but that's a belief, no real tangible effect.
