Good Night Irene - bengalguy71 - 08-13-2018 https://youtu.be/SmWbGaT1jNY For me, it's like Whitey Herzog used to say, "It's time to piss on the fire and call in the dogs!" RE: Good Night Irene - fredtoast - 08-13-2018 Do you believe in following the rules Bengalguy71? Because the rules say the NFL can do all of the things listed in your post because of rules established in the league/player union contract. Any uniform or accessory worn by a player is subject to league rules. There are no rules in the league/player union contract regarding standing for the anthem or staying in the locker room during the anthem. So, for me it's like Alexander Pope used to say "A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing."

Any uniform or accessory worn by a player is subject to league rules. Yeah, I've seen similar to the OP popping up on Facebook lately. But the issue is, the NFL/player union agreed to uniform rules. Appropriate shoe colors, writing things on your shoes. It's a monetary issue. I liked Tebow's eye black, but what stops the next guy from having McDonald's under one eye and Big Mac under the other? Sponsorship is huge with the NFL, and the rules are designed to keep the league — and the owners — making it. The union agrees to the terms because its members get paid.

Like “I’m going to Disneyland.” The owners are going to get their cut.

WTS, I've grown beyond tired of the whole Anthem thing. For instance 4 Jags stayed in the locker room this past weekend and that made some upset. IMO that is the best solution; however, it appears the NFLPA does not agree and to be fair many short-sighted fans think they should be forced to stand and salute. RE: Good Night Irene - treee - 08-13-2018 I am so gosh darn angry about this whole thing ![]() RE: Good Night Irene - HarleyDog - 08-13-2018 (08-13-2018, 07:39 PM)TheLeonardLeap Wrote: The real outrage should be Cam Newton's outfits... Yeah, I would lose serious sleep if I did crap like this. But, the 3rd one reminds me of “Alice in Wonderland.” Wait.. something really freaked me out about that movie. Bad example!

Jerry Jones is a slave master DeMarcus Lawrence will make over $17 Mil this year Do folks not know there's a huge difference between someone who fails to follow protocol out of ignorance or unintentionally and those that purposefully choose the disrespect the flag?

I guess folks don't know the huge hypocrisy of slamming those kneeling (who are not disrespecting the flag) and also not removing their hat...which everyone knows to do. It does say you must remove your hat. But as long as we can make it about internet commenters and pretending the kneeling is still meant to "disrespect" the flag I guess it will get you through the night. ![]() RE: Good Night Irene - Shake n Blake - 08-14-2018 Still waiting to hear about all the positive strides being made by kneeling. So far all I see is division. Even those on the left have to admit that not everyone agrees with their take that kneeling is not a disrespectful act. I would like to believe that the opinion of roughly half the country counts for something. So if half the country is upset by the action (a negative)...where is the positive? There should be a massive positive to offset the obvious negative, which is division.

Some feel the problem is exaggerated or the unfortunate byproduct of violent crimes. The pure volume of violent encounters is naturally going to lead to a handful of mistakes per every million or so encounters. Occasionally you will have some bad apples. This does not mean we have a nationwide epidemic of racist bloodthirsty cops. 2. What are the suggestions of the kneelers on how to fix the perceived problem? How have they attempted to open dialogue with police departments or local governments?

A reminder that this was started by a guy who made $43.5m by the age of 28, who has chosen to NEVER vote in his life, publicly praised Fidel Castro, and then declined a $16.9m player option, and has an activist girlfriend who then tanked his last job opportunity by comparing the team's owner to a slave owner on social media (she is also known for saying this... “When 9/11 happened, it didn’t surprise me at all. Wow. Mmkay. This is what we went through, probably, every couple months.”). There is no real purpose to it all. No end game. No positive. Just a soup sandwich that was a mixture of a guy trying to distract from his declining/undeveloping skills that made him lose out in a QB competition to *Blaine Gabbert* and a guy who is apparently the type of person who changes their likes/personality/beliefs to match their significant other in a relationship (we all know those people, and this started RIGHT when they got together).

Again...no one wants to talk about racial inequality or violence toward minorities by the anyone let alone the police becuase they focus on CK and his girlfriend and his "declining skills". Why talk about the issue when we can further divide by saying a) there is no issue (without every looking into it) and b) *I* don't believe he's even serious. And the wheels go round and round....

The half upset probably aren’t going to change their mind. Mostly they’ve just been complaining about disrespecting the flag or the military or something else. But I wonder what would be the best way to reach those folks. RE: Good Night Irene - GMDino - 08-14-2018 (08-14-2018, 09:30 AM)Benton Wrote: The half upset probably aren’t going to change their mind.
