So this country is your country?
Then where do you stand in the Kingdom of God?
Or is that all make believe to you?
I have plenty of posts in other categories you can read and make up your own mind concerning that.

I wish you would pay attention to the category where this is posted. 'Political and Current Events'. If you don't like it then stay out of it.

Nah, I'll post where ever the hell I damn well feel, and I'll stay out of it when I'm good and ready, but thanks for the proposal anyway sport.![]()
All of these overly paid football players are using their popularity, due to sport, to further a political advantage. Then when Trump voices his opinion that they should be fired for doing so, then everyone is whining about Trump bringing politics into football. Trump didn't bring politics into football. The disrespectful players did.
I am an avid football fan. But the NFL has literally squashed any desire on my part to watch them even on TV. Much less pay money to go to the games. And I don't think I am alone in this.
If these 'stupid', and yes I emphasize 'stupid', football players think they own the people, then they need a rude awakening. My advice, boycott all NFL football games . Not only do not buy tickets, but do not even watch it on TV.
I'm from Texas. As far as I care now, the Dallas Cowboys can finish last. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care to watch any game of theirs, or any others.

You sound ashamed to express your real beliefs.I have plenty of posts in other categories you can read and make up your own mind concerning that.

Your sentiments are understandable...but this sounds like a rationale for not voting.Good point, and in an ideal world, everyone would boycott.
But I think you are over reacting.
I remember back in the 70's, the big thing was to boycott grapes because all the grape growers in California were using illegal immigrants.
So I boycotted and I told others, and after a very long time I realized that my boycott was meaningless.
I was missing out on grapes for nothing was going to change.
Then there were other boycotts, most notable was walmart, which got no where because America lives at walmart.
Hollywood stars have been expressing their political views for decades and now millionaire athletes do the same.
So what?
Give up watching a good game of football because of ideals?
You'll find you are all alone in life with no entertainment.
I'm originally from Pittsburg don't live there any more but was always a Steeler fan. yesterday morning after the players refuse to honor the flag and country I toke off all the Steeler paraphernalia on the jeep.
football's a kids game that these people have the freedom to enjoy getting paid to play. there are thousands of people who would love to take their place if it burdens them to honor the country that protects them.
one's politics is no excuse to dishonor such, unless maybe one should live in another country, and you are in the wrong country.
thing is if I wear a Steeler, shirt for example then I agree with their politics, sorry I can find something else to do. it seems that every form of entertainment influenced by media is now a stage for estrogen politics.
My hats off to you. Stick to your guns. Go to the NFL.com and give them a piece of your mind, in no uncertain terms. Go to the Pittsburgh webb site also, and give them the same.
That is what I did. Don't hold back.

Okay...I guess I need clarification...
I am not a sports fan, so I am not sure just what the knee-taking players are trying to say. I have just taken it as a disrespectful slam of hatred on America...
What exactly is their beef?
How strange.They are protesting police brutality
Your guess is as good as mine. If not for this forum and a little blurb on the non-sports news, I wouldn't be aware there was a problem. There are always so many problems in the eyes of people...Okay...I guess I need clarification...

I guess I am not making the connection: Police brutality vs. the flag? ...Why not a hunger strike, for crying out loud?Your guess is as good as mine.

My point is really that men often get hung up on problems which stem back to the real problem which is that people do not really know or walk with God.I guess I am not making the connection: Police brutality vs. the flag? ...Why not a hunger strike, for crying out loud?
How strange.
That's kind of the definition of "arrest." Police "force" is the job description. "Peace" officer is not. Peace is the object, force is the means...by design.
Do you mean against blacks...or in general?

Because black people do not experience the same America as you do Scott
