Depends on who the opposing side represents. If I'm over here saying police brutality is out of control and the other person is saying, "fuck you, America love it or leave it", well not a lot of good can come out of listening and trying to reason with that person.

It sounds eerily similar to "I don't agree with you" "you're a Nazi!"

The TRUTH is that for most people, there is no discussion anymore. It's either their view, or you're a Nazi or racist or un-American.

Once again... missing the point. When he speaks (or kneels) he has the Giants' logo attached. Meanwhile, if the rest of us decide to be social justice warriors on company time, we would be canned pretty quickly. It amazes me how people still don't get that.

See, but you're choosing to react only to that differing opinion that should be ignored instead of the million other coherent and salient differing opinions being offered. Maybe instead of harping on the vast minority of ignorant views in opposition to kneeling, take note of realistic differing views and see if that leads to real dialogue. I've seen your posts on the other thread and I can't say i'm confident you're interested in that.

Do you have to do the national anthem at work?

I can't name a company that I have worked for that has demanded it.

Social Media policies are good and all, but lets be real people that make the big bucks get away with a ton of shit in every company. If someone who makes the money at the top gets in trouble, they find ways to get around it, make something disappear if they are that valuable to the team.

Players are no different. You don't have your players, especially the great ones, you have a shit product to address. So I cannot see a social media policy being whipped out anytime soon.

1) I'm talking about the rule that they announced yesterday.

2) as an employee of a company, the "right" that you have is to leave if you don't like the policies.

3) Where do you derive a "right" from there was "no rule"? By your logic, since NBC had no stated rule against secretly locking your office door and forcing yourself on a woman, Matt Lauer had a right to do it. Miramax had no rule against shoving one's cock into an unwilling girl's mouth, so it was Harvey's right to do so.

This was so stupid it's not worth my time. Human beings have the right not stand for a pledge or anthem. That thet NFL last year had no rule against it certainly gave the players the right to express themselves freely..

Now the NFL has a rule and the players must abide by it or they're subject to discipline.

Your comparison to "shoving cocks in mouths" shows your emotion to the subject and I can only conclude you're probably a racist or a brainwashed patriot.

Not all of it is polite. I dont even disagree with his point, but he is going after fans. Went in on Rannan the other day. Not really the best way for a current player that is in a good light with fans to go about his business. He is certainly picking up a few more enemies this offseason.

Learn to read. As private citizens (fans in the stands for example), they have every right to sit, kneel, turn their backs or whatever other peaceful protest they wish to pursue. As employees of the team, they are bound by company policy during working hours. You are incapable of reasoned thought. Don't you dare ever refer to me as a racist or brainwwahsed anything. People like you are the reason this board is going downhill. You can't reason logically, so you jump into name calling. YOU wrote that "The NFL never had a rule against kneeling. So they actually did have the right to Kneel." By that logic, anything not stated as banned is a right. You're wrong.

I personally don't see why it's even necessary to have the Anthem played before games, nor do I approve of the way the NFL takes money from the services to promote the armed forces.

QB Snacks : 5/23/2018 3:25 pm : link
Without a rule against kneeling why didnt the players have the right to kneel? It's their right. Until the league puts in a rule they were not in violation of anything.

They now have a rule.

Your comparison to forcing your dick down someones throat was not only distasteful it was moronic as nobody is allowed to shove their dick down someones throat regardless of where they work.

I stand by my perception of you and will never respond to you as I believe you're beneath me.

A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 5/23/2018 3:29 pm : link
1) I don't agree with the league getting involved. Obviously, I don't like any rules attached to this.

2) That said, if a coach and/or organization feels strongly one way or the other and wants to impose rules or guidelines, I have no problem with that.

3) 1st Amendment rights don't apply, as they are representing their team and they are "on the clock" while in the stadium.

4) Personally, my wish is that all owners and coaches would view this as a player's right and leave it at that.
As I understand it  
RetroJint : 5/23/2018 3:30 pm : link
Players will be allowed to wait in the tunnel until the anthem is concluded . To me, that’s an enlightened decision . When guys come out of the tunnel late, fans will be able to express their approval or disapproval with the action . I think that’s utterly fair. When they were kneeling on the sideline , upon completion of the anthem, you couldn’t cheer for 5 seconds then boo for 2.
Now you can give a lusty hosa for Vernon , when he comes out . Whatever .

and deal with the NFL on an ongoing basis. Kneeling for the national anthem has certainly hurt the league's (and thereby ownership) bottom line, as well as countless business partners of the league. While I believe they would love to side with the players and allow them to express themselves, they are not willing to do so to the detriment of the brand image.
