Talking about a case of moving the goal post. We are not discussing why we have the anthem or why the players choose to stand or remain behind during the anthem. This is a classic case of Trump trolling. The best way to rid a troll is not to feed him. Trolls can not resist overly sensitive people who lash back in an irrational manner. Yes, Trump is our president and we can't ignore him. But we can ignore the stupid things he says that amount to absolutely nothing ... such as the NFL topic. or Covfefe. Or all the other idiotic things the likes of you get triggered by. If you want to express your rage, point it to the healthcare executive orders he is signing. Talk about actual policy, not troll-bait tweets.
Good for the Rockets! That is not a protest, that's called business. Good for the Rockets and all those teams though.
Hey the Rockets are boycotting your man-child president. Why are you still here? Please boycott the Rockets now and GTFO.
FOX NEWS: Kneeling during the anthem is disrespecting the flag! FOX NEWS: Even if there was collusion, what crime was committed??
I hope the Rockets are loud, vocal, and disruptive. I hope they make a scene every game. If only to get rid of the Trumpeteers in our fan base.
they are probably the ones that buy season tickets in the lower level and dont even know up for the games
You said you don't agree with the protestors. So you are in favor of police continuing to shoot down unarmed blacks? Are you in favor of white privelage/inequality? The protests are against those very issues sir, you choosing to pretend they don't exist doesn't just make them go away. You trying to prove racism doesn't exist by asking to present a law that supports it is utterly ridiculous. There is no such law, so does that make racism an impossibility? Hell no. I challenge you to do your research on Covert Racism. Next, what is there to protest about being born out of wedlock? And complaining about being called "too white" sounds like a personal issue you might be dealing with. I just think it's sick that you and others try to dismiss peaceful protests by pointing at other so called "issues" in the black community as a decoy in an attempt to falter the original message. If you care about said "issues" so much how about you start awareness and look for solutions to fix the problems, but not at the expense of disrespecting someone else's struggle with insensitivity or failing to acknowledge it even exists.
The guy thinks black people shouldn't be concerned with racism from whites and that black people think you are acting white if you make money doing a normal job. He's obviously a racist and his views reflect that so yeah, I think it's obvious he doesn't agree with the protestors and probably thinks the police should gun down more blacks, not less. Sounds like the white privileged jerk that is the very reason these players are protesting.
What is historic about it? My country and its ideals are being disrespected by the Billionaire who occasionally sits in the White House when he isn't busy at his resorts. My country and its ideals are not being disrespected by millionaire athletes kneeling. BTW, why are athletes pampered, but we don't say the same about businessmen?
The Rockets will only stay at Tilman hotels from now on. In fact, I remember that they already do stay at Tilman's ghetto Golden Nugget hotel (which the players do not like) during Vegas Summer League.
Because most professional athletes in this country are black thus many are irked when they love a wealthy lifestyle. It makes them feel insecure about themselves. A rich white guy? That's normal.
