they're just an extension of obama. a special interest group that couldn't make a meaningful stand on a snake much less ethics. what a bunch of turds. 'players are encourage but not required to stand ...' horse pooo league.

An NFL player answers Kaepernick's stunt - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:04:10

Tempest Teapot. Neither the NFL or the "anthem" merit - raskolnikov MU - 9/7 13:43:35

Of course a commie like you thinks that.... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:57:10

He stands because of indoctrination. Noble (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 9/7 13:35:38

Did you even read his essay? He explains rather - Mizzou Lou KC - 9/7 14:27:12

did you? From his essay: - 90Tiger MU - 9/7 15:29:19

good for him(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 15:06:07

Respect - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:39:31

respect is noble, yes(nm) - tmcats KSU - 9/7 13:37:26

Respect is noble only if that which you respect acts - 90Tiger MU - 9/7 15:30:16

the nfl league just sucks so bad on this question ... - tmcats KSU - 9/7 13:09:42

So they shoudl force all of their players to stand?(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:13:00

The NBA forces their players to stand. Also why is kneeling - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 13:44:31

Guess we will see what happens next year - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:50:31

Kaepernick is now kneeling instead of sitting because - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 14:01:21

Easier to get some good face time while kneeling as - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 9/7 15:16:21

good for him - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:02:12

You think kneeling is better than sitting?..nm - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 14:04:25

I have no idea - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:10:17

Then why did you say good for him?.nm - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 14:12:58

more of a sarcasm - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:17:08

Agreed.,nm - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 14:21:40

But at the same point - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:22:29

My guess is that SF thinks it's disruptive but I could be - bcoop199 KC - 9/7 14:24:28

from a public relations ...yes - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:33:16

Yes... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:18:41

How American of you(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:20:30

the NFL is as much anti free speech as one ogranization - SuperTone MU

- 9/7 14:12:26

So because the NFL - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:19:10

Welcome to the NFL... How are these "offenses" worth a fine? - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:26:16

Because they have a uniform policy - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:30:24

Both are free speech issues - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:33:57

Irony at its best - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:49:23

No... I am saying they should be CONSISTENT! - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:52:51

so..whenever someone is upset - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:57:25

Consistency.... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:59:34

marketing. they want a consistent product/image. (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 9/7 15:31:20

Such as everyone standing during the National Anthem. - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:49:17

the NFL only dicates - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:40:44

they also dictate how players can act on the field.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 9/7 14:13:00

to an extent...yes(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:19:41

The NFL fined Jim McMahon for wearing a headband under his - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:41:43

was he wearing his helmst on the sideline? - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:42:43

Rozelle - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:53:29

that was like after he had been fined many times - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:58:09

Neither are free speech issues. (nm) - ummmm MU - 9/7 13:38:00

What are they? - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:39:52

Company policies (nm) - ummmm MU - 9/7 13:41:45

Policies that...... keep going...... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:54:13

enact company policy (nm) - ummmm MU - 9/7 13:56:53

to do what purpose? keep going.... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:58:30

to do what the company desires. (nm) - ummmm MU - 9/7 14:02:18

You are just being ignorant... as usual - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:04:48

Why not just say what you are getting at. (nm) - ummmm MU - 9/7 14:30:22

I have.. several times - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:44:09

No, you haven't. You employed this weird leading - ummmm MU - 9/7 15:15:07

Sure I have... - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:26:28

RE: Why not just say what you are getting at. (nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:33:44

You and Spanky need to follow this subthread - ummmm MU - 9/7 15:16:29

RE: You and Spanky need to follow this subthread - meatiger MU - 9/7 15:33:12

I jumped on the free speech thing. His follow up questions - ummmm MU - 9/7 15:36:30

No-one can follow your tangental 'thoughts' - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:22:03

So was I supposed to know that your post about - ummmm MU - 9/7 15:37:26

Kaepernick's actions are being defended as "free speech" - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:48:21

I said "Neither are free speech" issues. - ummmm MU - 9/7 17:52:21

He has no "actions" - meatiger MU - 9/7 16:00:15

That is an action.... unless he was wheeled out or crawled - Spanky KU - 9/7 16:02:40

Thank you. - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:01:24

Follow.the.thread. - ummmm MU - 9/7 15:15:52

Because...... - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:25:39

Does your company have a national anthem policy?(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:01:36

NO.. nor does it fine me for showing up to work with brown - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:03:29

you have a dress code..correct?(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:05:14

There is not a written dress code policy at my company. - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:07:55

The last two that I have been at - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:09:43

If I wished to appear like a street urchin and not a - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:45:50

They are private rules - meatiger MU - 9/7 13:41:12

and....... - Spanky KU - 9/7 13:55:23

A number of reasons - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:01:04

The color of shoes is marketing dollars? - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:06:17

Well...someone could put a logo - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:08:32

But they didn't... and got fined nonetheless - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:09:19

actually they did - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:11:28

Player was fined because Green shoes were not - Spanky KU - 9/7 14:50:40

that is nice(nm) - meatiger MU - 9/7 15:05:29

So.. not because of logos, branding or loss of NFL revenue - Spanky KU - 9/7 15:12:30

Actuallly...I think most fans dont give - meatiger MU - 9/7 15:30:11

Wrong...Poll: Majority Don’t Respect Kaepernick Decision - Spanky KU - 9/7 16:00:45

That does not mean the "care" - meatiger MU - 9/7 16:02:40

OK.... Believe that if you must. - Spanky KU - 9/7 16:12:46

Why should they enforce uniformity at that time? - meatiger MU - 9/7 14:00:19

No, both are NFL marketing issues. (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 9/7 13:37:59
