no more niners games for me...

I hope the 49ers cut this idiot and no other team gives him a look. Yes free speech gives him the right to act like a moron but even in a free country you can be held accountable for your actions. Maybe if no teams give him another chance it would free him up to go protest all day!

Lyrics from Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
In the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights
So you can maintain a lifestyle
That insults his family's existence
Well, where I'm from we have a special
Salute that we aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(FUCK YOU)!

A "never will be" athlete trying to boost his worth by grand standing. Another "Jenner" and nothing more. I see a pitiful man desperately holding on to his delusions of grandeur thinking that by insulting veterans and disrespecting the flag and this country it will gain him some measure of notoriety and value. Sad!! I, as a veteran, served so people like him could show the world their true colors. He WILL, in due time, get enough rope to finish hanging himself. Chins up Vets!! For every one of him, there are 1000's who aren't. It's for those silent thousands.....that we fought, sacrificed, and endured.

Gone,

EFF that was amazing drumming and loud. Holy eff. It's mainly the vocal and my old ass which doesn't make me a fan of to what a lot of "my" music has evolved. This all came from Roger Daltey's scream IMHO. Good for accent: not all the time.

I'll take this on my side any day.

This is something that pisses me off to no end. It is about RESPECT. Plain and simple. Respect for those that gave us the right he exercises, those that fought and died for his right to be an asshole and those that will choose to sacrafice to protect that right in the future.

What ever one may personally think of this nation if you can not have respect for the symbol of those that gave and protect those rights you are an asshole.

At a Shrine circus I took some little kids to there were some young teenagers standing in front of us.

They were being little assholes but I said nothing. When the National Anthem started two of them had not taken off their hats.

I smacked them on the back of the head hard enough their hats came off and told them to shut up and honor our nations flag and those that protect and serve this nation.

One little asshole went and whined to a Shriner at the door near by. He came over and we had a short talk and the little assholes were escorted out.

Several adults around me thanked me.

Burning or disrespecting our flag even by just not standing at attention does not make you a protester, it makes you an asshole.

If guys like this really wanted to make a statement why not use their notoriety and financial resources to get behind this movement to actually do some good :

I would love to see stores like Scheel's, ect. take a stand on this and remove all apparel on this piece of shit. Both in store and online.

Holy hell this is good:

Now he says he will continue to stay seated for the national anthem. Apparently the 49ers don't have the intestinal fortitude to tell this pos to go kick rocks. Sad times we are living in when a loser like this gets press and made out like a hero for "championing a cause". What a waste of skin

I dont care who it is, from a local dirt track, to NDSU football, to the superbowl. You stand up, remove your hat, and look to the flag that our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, have fought, bled, and died to protect. if you do not have the simple decency to stand at attention for a few minutes and think of all those that have sacrificed everything so we can continue to live the way we do. then fuck you and get the fuck out of our country. Ill fucking help you pack and even give you a ride to Canada.

Not sure it will go anywhere, but here is the message I sent last night:

I would like to urge Scheel's to show support to our veterans, law enforcement, and our nation's flag by removing all Kaeppernick apparel from stores and online as well. He needs to understand it is his right to protest our National anthem and flag, but there are consequences!!!

They did respond this morning saying my concern was shared.......to who I don't know.

 

[svnmag]

Well, turns out I was exactly wrong. It's a BLM deal after all.

Amazing to me that not a single one of you "love it or leave it" guys recognize that one of our most basic rights is to be able to express our opinions. Do I agree with him? Absolutely not. Does he have a right to his opinion and, more importantly, to express it? Absolutely. I guess in your eyes freedom of speech only applies when the speech agrees with your opinions.

 

[DirtyMike]

Even though he is completely within his right as a human being and an American, there's also doing the RIGHT thing. Blood is shed to allow people like him to protest. That's fine. When you leave a big, steamy coil on American Pride, you're going to meet more resistance than encouraging words.

Bullshit!!!! Damned near everyone says he has that right, but there are consequences to abusing those right!!!!

It's taken a year but a few leach out now and again. It's about respect for the fallen and the symbol of the greatest nation in history. The dumb bastard SHOULD stand because he does have a right to refuse. Wonder what would happen to him in North Korea? The team should drop him for disruptive behavior not in compliance of the spirit or image of the organization.

The NFL is a giant dumpster fire. Every year I watch less and less football on Sundays, would rather be out hunting.

Love reading about all the dirt bag players and fans on Deadspin, play a little fantasy football but otherwise I don't get too involved anymore.
