OT New NFL Kneeling Rule

[dviss1]

The NFL just said in no uncertain terms that they don't give a fuck about black people's right to free speech.

My Eagles just won. I've got what I needed. Until they change this bullshit policy, I'll be boycotting.

 

[dviss1]

Please find ONE credible source that says Tebow knelt to protest abortion.

And how do you "already have us covered" when you don't type that snopes claims it's false

Snopes proves its a bullshit site with their explanation.

Doesn’t the NBA have essentially the same anthem policy? I guess you won’t be watching basketball anymore either?

It’s a business... they put a rule in to protect their business that ultimately pays the players... ratings were way down, so they came up with a fair compromise, which is the same policy as in NBA... if I protested at work I’d be fired... why should athletes have special rights... there are many other platforms they have available to them to protest... I go to sporting events to escape... it’s not a place for politics...

Show me one. Tebow says he is praying. Kaep says he's protesting. I'll believe the actual people involved.

Until you can show me somewhere where Tebow says he did it as a protest, you are making shit up

This last sentence is utter bullshit. What would you say about McCain calling it "Paid Patriotism"?

2nd, the NFL is now losing my money. I plan on cancelling anything and everything NFL.

You know, you seem to be a glass half empty type of guy... always looking at the negative things in life... you are not the only one who has obstacles to overcome in life... you think everyone else has such an easy life, you don’t even know man... I choose to look at the good things instead and have gratitude...

 

[crandc]

Was going to bring up Tebow but dviss beat me to it.

Funny. We heard that fascists need to be able to speak on college campuses because colleges should not be safe places. Men should be allowed to sexually harass because jobs can't be safe spaces. But Black athletes can't silently peacefully protest because football games need to be safe spaces for white racists.

What does any of this have to do with Tim Tebow?

You have no clue about Dviss as a person, so quit making assumptions. If I was to make assumptions about you, I'd think you're angry all the time. But I don't.

So quit assassinating the character of someone you don't know.

So no more NBA for you.

See you in the OT forum, I guess

Do they make you stand for the national anthem at work?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Do they make you stand for the national anthem at work?

If they did, it would then be my choice to do so, accept the consequences for non-compliance, or find another job.

Somehow I don't think that would fly legally.

The NBA has made it fly, legally, for a few decades now.

They have the option to stay in the tunnel.. how is that being forced to stand for anthem?! And btw, most corporations have worse policies than asking you to stand for the flag of the country you live in... and whether you agree with them or not, you do it if you want to keep your job!

Why do you care more about this than their message though?

 

[Gronk Brady]

I don’t... I just think millionaire athletes have many more platforms to convey there message... I don’t want politics in sports... it’s supposed to be a place to escape that unites fans...

 

[BonesJones]

I don’t...

Be honest...

 

[BonesJones]

Fired and fined are two different things.. And the NBA is able to because of the work they do in the community and they have their players backs... the NFL isn't like that.

Where did I say anything about being fired? I said comply, accept consequences (ie, a fine), or leave willingly.

You don't know me so I really could give a fuck about your assessment...

 

[dviss1]

You don't watch the NFL for the Anthem (you don't stand in your fucking house nor do you get out of the beer line when it's played),
So if you don't like the kneeling, just IGNORE it like you're doing the racism and police brutality that they are protesting.

Simple.

Lets get back to you falsely claiming Tebow knelt in protest

Lets get back to you falsely claiming Tebow knelt in protest

I said he knelt regarding abortion. He was a staunch anti-abortion advocate and he kneeled to pray his Christian values every time. Gloss over this if you want. He had a whole fucking anti abortion ad.

And to all you MFs (@Gronk Brady) complaining about protesting at work, where were you when Anti-Gay Kim Davis was protesting at work by not giving marriage certificates to gay couples? You were probably quiet as a rat pissin' on cotton.

Did she have a right to protests in the job????

What’s with calling everyone MF’s... do you just wake up every morning pissed off at the world?

Ah, ok. YOU said it, not him. You said he was protesting. In reality though, you are assuming, and stating it as fact

I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally said the same thing about that that I say about this. If a person's employer puts expectations on you during your time on the job--unless those expectations are outside of what is permissible by law--that person's choice is to comply, to defy and accept the consequences, or to find another job.

I also didn't think that Davis' "freedom of religion" argument was valid in the slightest.

 

[dviss1]

MF follows forum rules as not an insult. Hell, I've fucked my fair share of mothers. You?

It's a term of endearment.

And I'm pretty tired of you tryna paint me as some angry black man. It's clear you're the one that's more angry about them protesting then WHAT they're protesting. So again, since you don't watch NFL for the anthem, ignore it like you do when you're at home. Don't lie and say you stand up in the middle of your living room with your hand over your heart...

Ignore it like you do their reason for protesting.
