Football will never be the same. I just want to turn on the TV and watch a game, you know? And eat popcorn and pizza.
Listen, she added, I think, if you have a problem with the country, protest, do whatever you want, do it peacefully. You can take a knee, just dont do it during the national anthem. Too many people have died for this country.

Got that?
NFL-players can still totally protest racism and police-brutality, except:
- not before the game, because somethingsomething patriotism
- not during the game, because some people just want to watch a game

(24,461 posts)Because if the only reason that some of us stand for that fossilized war-trumping song is so we don't get verbally or physically attacked by angry white people, then that is in no way, shape or form FREEDOM.
Six players protested the National Anthem last season. Since white people made it about them (as they make ANY form of protest about THEM), it's become a big deal and one of the country's (read: rich people's) predominant worries.
I find it funny how conservatives are all about "THE VETERANS" when they continually vote Republican politicians that vote NO on any issue that concerns veteran's benefits.

She does know her audience, and what they want to hear, that's for sure.

Yeah...about that, too many have died for our free speech to be taken away. Because that is why we fight, for those of back here at home that want to say what ever they want.

(146,317 posts)She can't enjoy her pizza and popcorn? Well, good. The protests are at least making her notice. The next step could be thinking, but thinking is hard. She'd rather zone out and watch the game.
How dare those people make her think?!?
