Sorry if posted already. I was curious about Chris Kluwe on CNN.

Derek Wolfe had time to tell ESPN if people have an issue with America, they can leave.
All Trump voters think that when it comes to social justice issues.

Trump is an idiot, what else is new.
Also I have big problems with the argument being parroted that bc army men fought for freedom that it invalidates using the anthem as a platform bc of some stupid notion of "patriotism", "nationality", "freedom." It is by far one of the dumbest things I've seen parroted on Twitter (not that I expected much in the first place).
If you want to go back to both WWs then what about all that stolen land from First Nations and Aboriginal peoples? You can't use that war argument and then conveniently ignore periods in history where people were ostracized to get to where we are today. Patriotism/Jingoism is a product built out of suffering, forced conformation and ostracism and we're supposed to feel proud about that? How about realizing that patriotism and notions of freedom being completely arbitrary and and horseshit?
Imagine living in a world where instead of recognizing issues and evolving, we're telling people to leave if they have problems. It's like they're incapable of realizing they're complicit in continuing the cycle.

If you don't have your hand over your heart, locking arms is the same as taking a knee basically.
God damn it, this is the most stupid, evil timeline that I have to argue this shit after our reality tv show President threatened nuclear war yesterday.

I've been doing the Lord's work and trolling all the snowflake Steelers former fans on Facebook.
It's exhausting dealing with this much stupidity.

This is good.
This is why I have been consistently against locking arms as any sort of demonstration of protest. It is a means to get players on their feet (or not be part of the 'unity') and it absolutely neuters the message. I am completely not surprised the toddler in chief would give word to this.

Well, Malkin is a Russian...
Kluwe is great
at some point maybe the NFL will just stop playing the anthem before games, because it is stupid to do anyway. all these people complaining about players not standing when you know they don't stand at home when it is on

That and the whole slogan of Trump's campaign was "Make America Great Again", implying America...wasnt great.
Only White conservatives are allowed to complain about the state of America and air out their grievances, if anyone else has an issue, then it's GTFO.
It's so hard to tell these days.
It must kill Trump to know that he still doesn't get the respect, admiration, and deference he thinks he was always deserved, even after becoming the president. He seems to think that he can just say whatever he wants, no matter how ridiculous, stupid, or crazy, and everyone should just go along with. In his mind, everything he says is awesome simply by virtue of him saying it.

It does make me incredibly sad that these people are out there in these numbers, and breed like rabbits. The thought of them being all bots just isn't accurate. We'll be dealing with this forever.

Yeah, pretty disappointed with the Pens and the sport as a fan but it's par for the course. There's zero awareness.

This is what half measures do. Nothing but give the other side fodder to claim they "won" and completely dilute the point of kneeling to begin with.

The sad thing is Fox News and Breitbart will run with this narrative even after the owners/coaches/players laugh it off.

I had to do it until around 1978 if I recall correctly. Stand with mandatory pledge including 'under God' each morning.
I'm late to this. Doesn't surprise me.
I'll be at the Raiders game in Buffalo next month. It's gonna be a classy time.

What's really disconcerting about this is how one side are not even acknowledging why these players are kneeling. Instead, the narrative is skewed into one of 'disrespecting the flag'. Well that may be true, but why can't we instead frame it as 'is refusing to stand for the flag to protest against injustices disrespectful?'.

Lol this guy.
I so badly want someone from that team to throw shade at him just to see him walk back that "Good team" comment.
Boos rained down from the Gillette Stadium crowd as 17 New England Patriots players took a knee during the national anthem before Sunday's game
No surprise there smh.
He's a troll. He's trying to get out a win when he's being almost universally condemned by the institution.

He's "for" what HE deems acceptable.
Congrats, you swallowed Trump's bait. He's an expert at inserting himself into any issue and dividing people who should be on the same side.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that public schools can't force students to do the pledge. But they can still get away with it if nobody challenges them.
