national symbols matter to a nation

So does the principle of protecting free speech/expression. If someone wants to be an asshoe, they absolutely have the freedom to. It doesn't protect them from the public backlash tho

Not respecting national symbols deserves being called out.

called out sure, i can agree with it being called out

You kneel for the anthem, I call you a fucking traitor who needs to keel over.

call it out, fine, but so help me god if I see another red neck son of a bitch in grand pappies overalls holding a shotgun and volunteering to be on their firing squad

jesus christ

Crazies on all sides breh =/

well, they get the bullet for being black anyway, so ...

I say we quarantine them all on an island and let them duke it out

ironically forgetting in there overzealous patriotism why the country they love so much is so great in the first place.

its not ironic, its deliberate

freedom for me, not for thee

just let kapernick throw footballs and fade out with his mediocre skill all on his own.

@TheGhostAgent

IIRC he's not playing for any team atm

So he can collect dust into the annals of history

unfortunately we are still trying to live up to the ideal our founders created but couldnt even live up to themselves hundreds of years later, but at least the ideas work when practiced unlike so many others @Jokerfaic

idk what IIRC means lol im not that internet chat savvy

'If I Recall Correctly'

I wonder if Bernie Sanders realizes how much his socialism has been commercialized

The US is literally so capitalist that socialism has been reduced to a marketing campaign

Imagine calling republicans communists with a straight face

Kaepernick didnt go to prison

he was villified

what is it you leftists always like to say

freedom of speech and expression doesn't always mean freedom from consequences

it does look like I directly called republicans communists doesn't it.... my bad, poor statement structure

meant to refer to general insecure authoritarians

that was the connection

I dont particularly care if you want to "protest" the national anthem but 1.) make sure your cause isnt bullshit, 2.) dont cry when you get ripped for it

'getting ripped for it' is fine, but I'm not kidding about people literally volunterting to be on kapernick's "firing squad"

and they are free to do so

and we are free to ridicule them for it

so I should just respect and honor kaperqueer
