It starts tonite with you guys

Not many workplaces where they play the national anthem before your shift.

But let's go ahead and follow out your logic. Two question comes to mind.

Who sets the rules in the workplace? The owners do sir.

And what rules are they violating?

1) None do but the NFL does. That's all that matters. The 1st Amendment doesn't apply to the workplace. End of story.

2) The boss does.

3) Until the boss says they can't do it, they can do it.

Just making the point the 1st Amendment is not in play in this situation.

I am pretty sure I saw someone that NFL has an actually rule regarding what is expected during the anthem. For some reason, they have chosen not to enforce it yet.

The NBA might have such a rule.

thanks for the honest and fair replies. Can I ask one more?

Would you feel the same way if they were protesting lack of government support for troops when they came home? Things like PTSD support, job placement, general healthcare and other services? Basically if the message was we are not standing until we treat our vets properly as a country...would everyone still be boycotting that isn't watching ?

Those would be actual issues you can point a finger at... what exactly are these player protesting? Thats the question.

Not watching - did they kids take a knee or sit on the bench

I don't really care about this protest and it isn't really personal to me like some of the posters here. I'm interested in the law and the business decisions being made here. I find it kind of fascinating actually.

I'd say the same thing for any protest. People's 1st Amendment rights are not protected while at the workplace.

Jesus. We Are Going There, aren't We?


Very Very Good Question.


The Wife Wrote That. Straight Up :toast: She IS a Genius.



Give Me some time to Respond. HayZeus H. Christ. lawyers.




Does She mean if they Knelt during The National Anthem? As They Protested the Abandonment of Our Warriors?



as I pray she says "no"......so as to make this question Easier. for me

so would you personally be ok with it if they did a better job of articulating the issues they are trying to bring attention to?

An articulation of the protest goals might be a good start.

 

[In2Win]

Yawwnnn........Stand, don't stand. it doesn't matter to me. Way to get caught up in other peoples lives.

If more people worried about themselves instead of what some NFL players were doing we all would be better off.

Looks like fans didn't follow Packers & Aaron Rodgers request to lock arms during national anthem.

They're protesting because they happen to not like the president.

These players are worse than OWS - easily the lamest "protest" in history. And if that isn't funny enough, the petty morons are probably looking at significant reductions in revenue pissing off millions of fans.

For what? Because Trump hurt their feewings!

[Greenbacks]

Of course it`s a Trump protest....Sore losing bastards.

No knees tonight though.

Thank you President Trump!

I would Personally Be OK With It if We Made a Common Goal, UNITED

to make Black Fathers Evolve past being able to Turn Their Backs on their little Black Babies

Glory

The Greatest Gift They're Ever Given.


Their Child.

This Gets Accomplished?

Many Later Issues....Problems "We" are having

Do not Occur.



Should We Discuss The Source of The Problems or just keep on Fighting over The Symptoms of this Disease?



Like a horde of Retarded Flies

 

[Greenbacks]

For nobody to take a knee....The NFL must have sent out a message before the game.

President is very powerful like him or not.

Watch out for those ratings NFL.....Do the right thing going forward...lol

Sure, if America has done something gravely wrong to them to protest (say for example when the Japanese Americans were put into camps during WW2) that was an issue that is on Americas hands at the times.

Put what are they protesting? Very few random acts by even fewer random people?

Whats the protests about?
