Did you go to school stupid? Or did you only come out that way?

Most come out that way...they're more "naive" than stupid.

Players have a right to protest. We all have a right to protest. We have First Amendment Rights. How they are doing it is at best disrespectful to this land and at the worst causing more disrespect to their cause and the players.

Most of us are angry and disgusted with these guys because during the National Anthem and the salute to the Flag is not the place and time to protest. They are mad at the country? I thought it was the police.

Well some of us are mad at the players and most of us think the police are not faultless but doing the best that they can under the circumstances.

The circumstances being...having to deal with dangerous and violent wild minority animals all day/night long...everyday.

Many people do not like what Donald John Trump is trying to do with the NFL. Donald Trump slam at NFL players' protests is immoral and un-American: Steinberg

Donald Trump might think that he is the law, that his will dictates what Americans can say or do. He might consider his tweets edicts from on high, and that his values are our values because he says it’s so.

But he’s wrong.

We are a nation of laws, and those laws have evolved over many years, sparked by people more courageous than Donald Trump, finessed by legislators more diligent than Donald Trump, and weighed by judges far smarter than Donald Trump.

Take the NFL protest. The key to that situation is found, not in the president’s latest tweet but in the actions of a pair of schoolgirls during World War II.

"GAINESVILLE, Fla.*— The president of the University of Florida said white supremacist*Richard B. Spencer wants the speech he will deliver Thursday to spark violence that will gain sympathy for the alternative right movement he represents.

Spencer and his supporters will thrive on any confrontation brought by anti-fascist protesters, warned university President Kent Fuchs. They hope to provoke the same violent clashes that broke out during an August rally in Charlottesville, Va., that left one woman dead.*

Now, for the first time in the history of our nation, very different racist groups are coming together under one person who speaks their language and their words and speaks their views on racism and white supremacy," Fuchs said. “They’re coming to campus with the intentions of confrontation and with the intention of having all of us repeat their view on the world."

Organizers for Spencer’s speech further complicated security arrangements by planning to wait until an hour and a half before the event to distribute tickets. Only people who look like alt-right supporters will be among the 700 people allowed inside the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.*"



This is as reported in USA Today...unable to link at present.

From Reuters...


Spencer, who heads the National Policy Institute, a nationalist think tank, is scheduled to speak at 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT) at a campus performing arts center. The university said it did not invite him to speak, but was obligated by law to allow the event. It said it will spend more than $500,000 on security.

I will certainly recall and repeat your thought next time your friends post anything about demonstration by anyone, and I thought all you supporters would have been there, at UF By now...

"As Donald Trump quickly became the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Spencer and Bannon began to voice their support for him. Spencer later credited Trump with invigorating his nationalist movement and identified Trump as having views that dovetailed with those of the alt-right. Spencer has repeatedly noted that Trump never distanced himself from his alt-right"

According to Gracie Girl, Rubicon, BTK and a few others....stupid is their word at best implication

Did I mention to you that I could care less what trolls think of me. To be criticized as you have, is welcome instead of the obscenities, etc. and certainly, any issue brought up, you will certainly address.

Thanks for policing the forum, and your trolling is much appreciated.

If you are blind to the hypocrisy involved, that's on you and your lack.
