Roger Goodell sends letter to NFL teams

[FFaith]

The former NBA commissioner is Jewish. Current NBA commissioner is also Jewish. NBA players are forced to stand. So what you're saying Brian, is that the Jews are the new Nazis?

I'm kidding of course, but you're going a bit far with this North Korea, Nazi Germany rhetoric. If I was a player, I'd stand. I'd see it as a job responsibility to represent the team and sponsors in a professional manner. I agree with Kaepernick's main message (other than the part where he said Hillary should not be allowed to run and instead should be locked up), and it's an important message, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with this during the NBA season and playoffs. I was told it wouldn't be a distraction, but it's causing some NFL teammates to have a personal problem with eachother. I don't want to see that happen to my team.

CK started this 2 years go, and RIGHTFULLY SO. What CK was doing was no different than when Ali stood up to discrimination, or when Olympic athletes in the 60s and 70s raised their fists during the Anthem. NONE OF THAT back then or CK protest he started TWO years ago was anti American, but saying "HEY we matter as well".

It is NOT going too far, even taking race out of this, to say it is DANGEROUS for a top seat of a western POWER to make demands of forced ritual. 

Bowing to a flag are what the NAZIS demanded. And they didn't just base that on political party, they based that on white nationalism. 

CK kneeling was not a stunt, it was exactly what any sane empathetic person SHOULD do when their fellow citizen is not being treated well. 

OF course one as an employee wants to do the best job they can, but there are still things in life that are worth FAR more than genuflecting in fear of losing one's job. HUMAN DIGNITY is worth far more than any paycheck.

Instead of blaming CK for doing the right thing, tell 45 it is not his responsibility as a western leader to demand blind loyalty or forced ritual.

I'm not blaming Kaepernick. I agree with his main message that blacks need a better shot in life and need to be treated better, and I appreciate that he has sacrificed his own money and possibly career to get his point across. I respect him for that. I'm just saying that I don't think the Jewish commissioner of the NBA is a Nazi. I don't think the former (Jewish) NBA commissioner is a Nazi for implementing the rule that players must stand. Trump didn't demand anything of the NFL. He gave his opinion, but I agree that saying he thinks owners should fire players was an inappropriate thing for a President to say, but I don't think requiring employees to actually act professional on the job like the NBA commissioner does is quite enough to call someone a Nazi. I'd be far more worried about Trump talking about "closing up" parts of the Internet, or the establishment talking about needing to do something about fake news (which is code for "we need to silence anything that contradicts the official bullshit establishment narrative and make sure old media wins the information war"). Employees acting professional at work is not the end of the world.
