I don't think it's an either side situation.
Because folks that are rational or have a different view which could be in the middle or either extreme
usually say nothing
Figuring a bunch of ignoramouses are blowing steam it creates a one sided echo chamber effect, this seems to have penetrated all areas of life.
Making it appear everyone is lined up with the reactionary folks, if a rational non emotional response is made to an irrational one it gets forced over to being a "liberal" comment even if it's a staunch conservative making it.
To create any effect in this environment, the comment needs to be much more extreme and stark in contrast than if the dialog weren't black and white and one directional.
What I don't understand is why other Christians treat a political party as akin to their religion, even though it purports concepts that go exactly contrary to religious teaching.

The only sport I watch consistently anymore is motocross. Monster Energy Supercross during the winter and the AMA Nationals in Summer. Nothing else matters.

So you didn't have to hear anything while it was done.
And a football game sure as [censored] isnt anything sacred or close to a funeral and I have seen protests at churches.
Reading this thread it sounds as if a guy kneeling is the greatest human tragedy, a day that shall live in infamy, Jesus would vomit in rage at such a site, angels cried, millions died, no one shall ever recover, it is impossible to go on after seeing this?
People are addressing this like a religion.
I'm sure there are no more important issues to address in the country than this right?
In the 60's people were burning flags, were those better times?
We are going down the path of radicalization where individual people have lost their ability to think critically and elevate the importance of things they see to rediculous levels.
Your letting the mere site of a black guy kneeling affect your day to day life, sounds pretty stupid.
It's unfortunate that we live in a world looking to be offended assuming that the car a person drives is political, the oil he uses is political, his race is political, police are political, a persons cloths are political , apparently gender is political and death is political.
Also their "protest" wasnt even intended to be politics and I'm guessing if you didn't actively seek out info you wouldn't know why You saw it or what they were doing, probably didn't know what to think either.
Most people who think like you, look the same, act the same, believe the same and everybody who doesn't isn't on your team right?
"They" don't have a right to live here because they disagree with your politics/religion?
A good Christian would not think that way.
Like I said...
Is it a great idea to do a stupid "protest" at all times??
Ahh no. It's not. Period.
Time and place Captain...
Something you and other people like you don't seem to understand well.
You don't know me from Adam... You don't know what I think about every subject under the sun... You might be quite surprised actually... So I strongly suggest you read this for what it says exactly...
Time and place...
It matter to people who have some sense of honor and decency
Those actions by those individuals was meant to something technically we cannot say on here..
No doubt in that. None.
Have YOU ever taken care of an Islamic lady has your patient?? Using an interpreter on the phone to communicate with her??
Yeah.. doubt it.
And... Furthermore... She was very grateful to me. And she was wonderful. I was grateful to have met her and taken care of her...
You don't know me at all.... At all.
And you sure has your know where don't know what I think about everything.
And by the way Hoss.... COLOR don't matter to me at all in this.. PERIOD. I don't give a such and such about that...
And guess what... I've taken care of many, many, many people who were the opposite color of me... And it has been really great as a rule. One lady bless her.. had pancreatic cancer... I didn't know if she knew for sure... I spent a lot of time with her when I first came on the floor that evening. She was a wonderful, wonderful lady. Her family was too.. I was truly humbled by having the opportunity to be there with her and her family.
I could on and on and on and on with great encounters with people who I have taken care of... Who were different than me..
I am grateful to them.
I believe very strongly in what Martin Luther King stated in his time.
I believe we are a nation of all types of people.
I also believe in our constitution. For in that the ground work was laid to make terrible circumstances right..
And to this day... Work remains to be done.
I take care of people and their families who often times have people near them that are dying. Things like that change how one thinks of people, having a sense of honor, and a idea of timing... It matters. There is time for all things.. but it is not always TIME or PLACE to do all things either.

Hockey and football are sometimes body-violent, enough to make changes inside those bodies.
The NFL will never die. Know the risks - agree to the risks in writing prior to playing it.... or stay home and not play the sport.
As-far as the Anthem is concerned, if a participating player doesn't want to honor the flag and hymn, stay in the clubhouse until it's completed.

If they stayed inside until after the anthem,they wouldn't get the attention they seek.
They have to show their posse how they stood up to the Man and thumb their nose at the rich owner.
You can take a man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the man.
So true.

The NFL isnt football, its not a sport, its a money making organization that all the poor people in this country contribute to, to make everyone in the NFL rich.
Stop kidding yourself and think otherwise, your brain is controlled by them and you cant let go.

Strong takes and racist dog whistles this morning!
Hmm, a business in our capitalist system exists to earn a profit? I'm stunned. Please advise on some non-profit forms of entertainment I should look into.
Richard Sherman grew up in Compton, was the salutatorian at his high school, and graduated from Stanford. He's probably smarter and more articulate than almost everyone in this thread.
