Horse shit. The Steelers are the most political team in the league.

It is so fucked up that liberals are acting like there is any controversy when you simply show respect and stand for the anthem, just like all those clowns have done for years.
No one was offended by standing before.
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
no one should be offended by standing now. this shouldn't be like that stupid article that jason linked to. (i think it was jason?) standing for the anthem is not racist or supremacist or any other stupid shit. it's only about respect. it shouldn't be about being offended for other people standing.Foo wrote:Horse shit.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
i really wish that we could move on from this crap. he didn't stand. people would stop watching or not. it would have been a nothing burger, if not for trump making a big deal because he needs to distract from actual important things and to pull the attention onto himself.

Ahem......Marshawn Lynch used to sit during it all the time. No outrage from people who think like you until now. We are just gonna have to disagree and move on.Foo wrote:Horse shit.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
if you were watching, you probably knew he was sitting it out without trump telling you? if you weren't watching already, it doesn't make a difference really. *shrug*Foo wrote:I am glad he commented.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
nor should he be. iconoclasm is not healthy. it only breaks down a culture and a society.showa58taro wrote:At the very least we know Foo is no iconoclast.zombie wrote:good comparison.Foo wrote:This Robert E Lee statue offends me, it must be removed...Jmac Attack wrote:Exactly.

that said pushing against free speech and free expression also breaks down a culture and society. it's just a different approach to that end.

ugh. the only reason the accusation of racism is coming up (and getting major exposure) is because of who donated the books. this is stupid and it needs to stop.

Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
When do people stop crying about stupid shit so real shit can be addressed. Honestly today I think Trump gets reelected cause all this shit bothers normal people and Trump is safer than what could be a pussy state
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
Saw something today that Holder and Mueller used more than a million dollars in flights at tax payers expense and nobody gave a shit. Same left "do as I say not as I do" bullshit as they cry horror at Price.

Actually, I do remember that and lib sites reported about it. Even WP reported about it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fede ... 6a483587f6Tiggnutz wrote:Saw something today that Holder and Mueller used more than a million dollars in flights at tax payers expense and nobody gave a shit.

But you are right about the selective outrage. Both sides do it. Again, no one gave a fuck about Marshawn Lynch sitting during the anthem. Conservatives blame Obama and were outraged at his speeches being divisive, but it's cool when Trump does it with his speeches. Cause he is pretty tough for a draft dodger. Lol!
Re: Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters
can we also stop pretending that trump is not crying about stupid shit, to distract from important things himself.Tiggnutz wrote:When do people stop crying about stupid shit so real shit can be addressed.
