streamofthesky 03/13/18 11:45:38 PM #30:	Zeus posted... streamofthesky posted... I have never gotten nor will EVER get the butt-hurt over kneeling. If anything, it looks more respectful than standing. Why does anyone fucking care if someone wants to do it during the national anthem? Kind of like it's more respectful to start singing the Star Spangled Banner during a moment of silence, right? No, that's a pretty crappy analogy, if you're making noise you're ruining the moment of silence. Try: kneeling during a moment of silence vs. lowering your head. No big deal. Zeus posted... streamofthesky posted... Remember when BLM was blocking traffic and protesting in streets, and everyone was (rightfully) saying they shouldn't disrupt transit just to spread their message, they should find a way to protest that's not as intrusive? They did, and people bitched about that, too. Just proves that what the right really meant when they said, "don't protest in streets" was "don't protest at all." Stupid. I want protests during the anthem, not in streets. And literally all they asked was for them not to stand in the road. Every other protest group seems to manage that, except the occasional Occupy Wall Street rally. More importantly, they're on the clock. If I was intentionally disruptive at my job on a regular basis, I'd be kicked to the curb. The people (including me) complaining about the street-blocking protests said they should find a less disruptive/reckless means of protesting. Cause....they do have a right to protest, you can't just deny people that right completely. So...they found a less disruptive method to protest. Good for them, i'm all for it! Literally wtf at your rationale! "On the clock"? It's the anthem, whether they're kneeling or standing, they're spending the duration quietly doing nothing. Nor is it any athlete's "job" to stand for the anthem, and it's their First Amendment right not to. If an employer tried to force his employees to stand for the national anthem or else be fined or terminated, a court would ream that employer's ass. And I'd really like to know how someone kneeling is "disruptive." Please, do tell! Although it's pretty clear now that those still complaining about it would like to deny that right <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:897761571] in ABC has PU...
