Not standing for the pledge/capital offense, but....

[Jackie]

Let's see, black player's PEACEFULLY kneeling in protest, that is a crime punishable by life in prison, but hey but white boys will be white boys, and who gives a fuck if you punch an old man because he asked you to sit down so he could see the game. 

Wonder if this asshole was drunk off his ass? Oh but moron forgot that it is the age of the cell phone, took less than a week for the video to go viral, fuckface turned himself in.

Sorry, who is claiming that not standing for the pledge merits the death penalty, or that kneeling during the anthem should result in a life sentence? I understand your anger, but I think you're overstating things just a smidge.

Hyperbole is HUGELY underrated.

Please, I am attacking the right's bullshit trying to treat a lagit protest as something to be condemned.

No I not overstating it, using blunt criticism and sarcasm yes. 

It is fucked up when you have a politician using his office to intimidate dissenters by vilifying them by calling them "sons of bitches". Now would you like me to go through the laundry list of others he's scapegoated and vilified?

Yet his supporters would look at a CLEAR CRIME and say, "that's different", not understanding that if it were  a black person, even outside the stadium that punched a white guy, that black guy would get charged more harshly. This asshole got a misdemeanor. 

The PLAYERS were not committing a crime but protesting the inequality of treatment of law enforcement on black communities and OUR justice system.

The problem isn't that I am overstating it, the problem is our nation still has far too many that are ignoring our economic and justice inequality.

Fuck the damned pledge. Don't sit there and say, "Yea what this fan did was wrong" WHICH IT WAS, then excuse the vilification of our fellow citizens protesting and NOT assaulting others.

It completely is tone deaf. Black NFL players are not excusing black violence either. They are not protesting because they hate America. They are protesting, not the pledge, but the fact that inequality exists.

If somebody pulled shit like that at a GAA match, he wouldn't even be a stain on the grass. Should be sucking out a straw the rest of his life.

Do you have any doubt that you are making a strong coherent point?

Do you have any doubt that you are making a strong coherent point?

NO,

If what this fan did does not outrage you, but a player kneeling in protest peacefully does, sorry, no polite way to put it, YOU are part of the problem.

Not my baggage one bit if you cant understand the message.
