Full Throttle 09/05/18 12:14:30 AM #1:	Does it surprise you that white people are against these protests? - Results (7 votes) Yes 0% (0 votes) 0 No 100% (7 votes) 7 After 2 consecutive seasons of falling tv ratings, the NFL is still losing viewers as majority of Americans, particularly WHITE and REPUBLICANS are OBJECTING to players who KNEEL in protest of racism during the national anthem!! A new NBC/WSJ poll say fewer people are tuning into sports because of fans who disagree with players who demonstrate to raise awareness about social issues, criminal justice reform and police brutality against minorities. 52% said they continue to follow the NFL but is down from 58%. Men older than 50 continue to follow the game closer than any other demo despite their own negative views while others stopped altogether. Republicans in HUGE numbers as only 10% of Republicans support it and only 38% of white people support it while the REST are AGAINST it and have stopped watching it because of it and agreed with Trump But not everyone is opposed as 72% of democrats and 56% of 18-34 support the protests. Micah Roberts said the poll is reflecting a lower audience base since they measured this back in 2014 and believe the anthem protests are having a big effect on viewership. The NFL is still working toward a resolution on a national anthem policy who said players can stay in the locker room if they don't want to stand but Trump said that WASN'T enough and said if they don't act patriotic at all then they should be FIRED!! Conservatives are also clapping back who are having signs that say "Stand for the Flag, Kneel for the Cross" in reference to kneeling for JESUS. Does it surprise you that White Americans are against the kneeling? https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/08/31/13/4F8F04F600000578-6118529-image-a-11_1535719068739.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/08/31/13/4F8F048A00000578-6118529-image-a-12_1535719079437.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/08/31/13/4F8F04DD00000578-6118529-image-a-14_1535719341911.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/08/31/13/4F8F044600000578-6118529-image-a-15_1535719405584.jpg --- call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

streamofthesky 09/05/18 2:25:39 AM #3:	I used to criticize BLM for standing in streets, and said they should find a way to protest that doesn't obstruct traffic and potentially put people in danger. Now I kind of understand them doing it. Because some dudes paid to play a kid's game kneeling instead of standing during a national anthem that is performed before the actual thing you tuned in to watch commences regardless has to be the most unobtrusive way possible one could publicly protest something, and the conservative white populace STILL flip their shit over it. In fact, it seems to upset them even more than literally blocking highways. Fucking madness. So I voted that it does surprise me.

GastroFan 09/05/18 8:50:42 AM #15:	This has become an issue because Trump's made it an issue out of spite b/c the NFL wouldn't let him buy one of their teams when he was younger. Also most of the NFL players are black, which really irks Trump b/c he despises minorities and women who don't fit his stereotype of lazy good for nothings that depend on him for support (in other words, either leeches or yes people). Trump is one of those rogues and/or scoundrels that hides behind the flag in order to sucker people into following him since he trashes veterans despite his claims to the contrary (note the American Legion having to beg him to say something nice about John McCain's military service after his death). <cite>GastroFan posted [p:908147177] in The Majori...

_AdjI_ 09/06/18 5:28:09 PM #41:	Kyuubi4269 posted... Kneeling isn't the intended picture of football. Nor is standing. The intended picture of playing football is people playing football. People standing around while some song plays is not playing football. Kyuubi4269 posted... Kneeling isn't melodramatic? Not really. It's a reasonably subtle gesture, with a clear cause behind it. It's nowhere close to the "the mood is ruined! RUINED I say!" you're prattling on with here. Kyuubi4269 posted... Being upset is entirely valid, the presidency is an example of you being upset. For one thing, I don't vote for presidents. For another, having a president (or other political figure) in power that I disagree with doesn't prevent me from enjoying life. It creates a need to speak out against them doing stupid and/or evil stuff, at which point displeased sentiments become relevant and active, but effective compartmentalization means not carrying that displeasure into other aspects of my life. You disagree with Kaepernick's statement? Cool. If it comes up in discussion, you can express your dissenting position, or you can participate in opposing campaigns when the opportunity arises. Fixating on it to such an extent that you can't enjoy the football game that follows the statement, though, accomplishes nothing, and is letting your emotions interfere with your ability to enjoy life. That's not healthy, in which case learning some compartmentalization skills is highly recommended. Kyuubi4269 posted... It pisses off the supporters That's their choice. Kyuubi4269 posted... The game is worthless if the viewers don't enjoy that s*. The game is identical regardless of how the viewers feel. The league as a whole can be impacted by changes in viewership, but having one player kneel during the anthem does not affect the game itself. Having a player refuse to play, on the other hand, can completely change the course of a game. Kyuubi4269 posted... So your argument is people should ignore things they don't like? Until such a time as they can do something about them, yes. Kaepernick kneeling isn't hurting anyone. He's drawing attention to a cause which nobody's going to be able to do anything about until after the game (unless they choose to skip the rest of the game in favour of doing something about it, but that's entirely their choice). Ergo, obsessing about it during the game to such an extent as to make the game unenjoyable is pointless and stupid. Kyuubi4269 posted... Just admit it, you're upset that people don't tolerate your beliefs being forced on them. What, beliefs like "people shouldn't be murdered by police?" I'm more upset by the mere existence of people that don't believe that than by their refusal to let people express said belief; I figure they're already awful enough people that I'm not going to be surprised by them not jumping at the chance to be less awful. As for "forcing beliefs," though, that's hardly what's happening here. Nobody's being forced to believe anything. Being made to hear something is not being made to believe it. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:908243057] in The Majori...

It's a reasonably subtle gesture, with a clear cause behind it. It's nowhere close to the "the mood is ruined! RUINED I say!" you're prattling on with here. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted...</cite> <quote>Being upset is entirely valid, the presidency is an example of you being upset. </quote> For one thing, I don't vote for presidents. For another, having a president (or other political figure) in power that I disagree with doesn't prevent me from enjoying life. It creates a need to speak out against them doing stupid and/or evil stuff, at which point displeased sentiments become relevant and active, but effective compartmentalization means not carrying that displeasure into other aspects of my life. You disagree with Kaepernick's statement? Cool. If it comes up in discussion, you can express your dissenting position, or you can participate in opposing campaigns when the opportunity arises. Fixating on it to such an extent that you can't enjoy the football game that follows the statement, though, accomplishes nothing, and is letting your emotions interfere with your ability to enjoy life. That's not healthy, in which case learning some compartmentalization skills is highly recommended. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted...</cite> <quote>It pisses off the supporters</quote> That's their choice. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted...</cite> <quote>The game is worthless if the viewers don't enjoy that s*.</quote> The game is identical regardless of how the viewers feel.
