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

                                                       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
