[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 186436, member: 983"] There is no question a man like Pat Tillman would stand for the national anthem. Nor do I think he would agree with those that don't stand. But washing "conspiracy theories" of his death into the mix is no better than players bringing "inequalities" onto the football field. Neither has a place. I believe Pat Tillman was an All American badass who died as a result of friendly fire. What the government did to cover up his death is sickening. I also believe that the racism players are protesting about is real, yet I don't agree with how they are going about it. And I would bet Pat Tillman would stand up against those same injustices too. The world we live in has blurred lines of what is appropriate & where. Never would politics or other issues been brought into a sport until now. Maybe it increases awareness, maybe it doesn't. But it sure makes a mess and causes divide. With the world we live in, the threats we face, I would hope that we would unite rather than divide. If it weren't raining I'd be out enjoying the cool fall day rather than read all this and watch FB LOL! [/QUOTE]
