For peaceful protest, even more actually get off their fat asses and protest back, publically.
Nice to see people got their priorities straight.
So, for alleged murder of blacks by police, millionaire players - gasp - get down on one knee for a minute a week.

And since that's not working out well, people are trying to change the topic.
This topic isn't, as as I've said before, really about the protesters, or those protesting the protestors. Look at the thread title.
I think they are ALL a bunch of assholes (I'm fairly anti-sports, and honestly, so many of the players really are just ass holes).
This is about the man who holds the highest office in the land using that office as a platform to punch down on his own personal grudges (It is well known he has a grudge against the NFL), and also uses it to suggest that America should curtail this form of peaceful protest. THAT is 100% wrong, no defense. I notice no one is actually trying to defend it, they just keep deflecting instead to the players, fans, etc.
So, care to address the real issue at hand?
