    Are you sure that isn't James Harden?

    Harden does Zig and Zag. Does he not?

    I'd still watch. As a veteran, they have a right to kneel during the anthem if they want to. In turn, I also have a right to think of them as giant pieces of **** for doing so.

    It's a free-ish country.

    But I'm not going to stop watching just because some ill-informed athletes decide to jump in on the latest social media fad. I don't care that much.

    Okay, let me get this straight.

    1. You got "triggered" by the president's words.
    2. You support the symbolic gesture of the players to fight back Donald Trump's act.
    3. You do not believe symbolic action has any effect on anything.

    Am I getting it right?

    How people can get so worked up about this on either side is fascinating. I think it's fine you feel like kneeling is very disrespectful and bothered by it, not everyone sees the anthem and the flag the same way. I for one do not always associate flags and anthem with the military or vets,but then again I'm not American. I also think it's fine for players to do whatever they want when the anthem is playing, it's a free country of expressions.

    I think this issue has gone way beyond what it should have gone in terms of reactions of both sides

    Wait what now?

    Are minorities all of sudden being treated better than whites? Has red-lining been eliminated? Are schools more integrated than they were 10 years ago? I'm really confused by your statement.

    Here's where I stand on all of this.

    1. Trump= Idiot
    2. Media that planted false flags= Idiots
    3. Protesters who took the bait= Idiots
    4. People who are against the right to protest= Idiots
    5. Tha Dude= Idiot for posting in this thread which actually belongs in the D&D.

    Quick summary for those with A.D.D, we're a nation of idiots. If you've never seen the movie Idiocracy I would recommend you put it on your list because that's exactly what our county is going to be like if we keep steering the current course.

    Very astute. You have a very bright future in front of you, Clubba. Should probably run for office someday, heck I will vote for ya if I'm still above ground.
