Since I'm sure dino will red line it in the other thread, does any else find it "funny" that he says he wants a thread with no name-calling, yet calls the leader of this Country something just about every other post? That's far more hypocrisy than any of the other things that were pointed-out in here today.

I am saying its stupid for millionaires to complain about anything.

And you and Strikeout moan about a potential tax increase for millionaires? Hypocrite much?

Don't lump my name into this. You obviously don't understand personal finance well enough to talk about tax hikes on the rich, so you may want to avoid that subject. Heck, you didn't even realize that in some states, they pay as much as 60% in taxes already.

Lol. I've been thinking the same thing for a while.

I'm sure I will once again regret giving-in to the temptation of reading a tang post, (and it may be the 1 time today, so forgive future non-replies) but here goes:

NFL (or NBA or whatever) players have millions of dollars. They can donate some of that to their causes, they can attach their name and/or image to those causes for more attention, they can pretty much book an appearance on talk shows and sport's shows at will.

I'm not getting back into the whole intent discussion. Rapists will tell you they don't mean to disrespect the women they rape, child-beaters will tell you they don't mean to disrespect their kids, adulterers will tell you they don't mean to disrespect their spouse - does that make those things ok? It's just like the people who immigrate illegally - it may be well meaning and "necessary" to them, but illegal is illegal, just like disrespectful is disrespectful.

That is the most retarded thing I've ever read on these pages and that is saying a whole lot. Pull your head out of your ***, you ******* idiot.

It's amazing how a league with a good commissioner, the NBA, doesn't have these issues of disrespect that Goodell has had. What a joke that man is. He has no backbone. Silver cut it off from the start and the players respect him, so they have listened.

It has more to do with the owners in the NBA than the commissioner. The players know their owners have their backs....see the Milwaukee Bucks just this week and the horrible police detainment of Sterling Brown. The team put out a press release railing against what happened. The NFL players don't feel the NFL owners have their back...and they're right.

Also, I think it is a little funny that the same people who hate PC culture and try to 'troll' the liberal 'snowflakes' get so butthurt over players kneeling. Do you need a safe space? lol.

Butthurt? Its disrespectful. The anthem is a military salute. And don't say it is not because they always come out with color guard and military personnel. Then again you're a pacifist so why do you even care about the military? If you saw two hooligans beating a stray dog you would just yell at them and not intervene. Coward. I don't care what players do btw. If you love America so much, why do you want to eliminate the Electoral College? Lastly, Trump's rating was poor before the election too. It did not matter.

It’s disrespectful to do a lot of non-PC things.

The anthem is not a military salute. It’s an anthem.

Really? Then why do they say "Please stand as we honor those who served and our nations colors?"

Your leftist views are insane

Because the US government pays them to. My son’s little league had a girl come sing the national anthem. No one said anything about the military.

Did you just compare pro sports to little league? Seriously?

Don't forget, B_L lives in the state that hates America and has threatened to secede. The military is honored all the time during youth sports in more patriotic parts of the country.

Texas among others, threatened to secede under Obama...are they non-patriotic?

DENVER — It’s traditional for Americans to threaten to move to France or Canada when their candidate loses, but this year some disappointed voters are implementing a different plan.

In the wake of the Nov. 6 election, petitions seeking to secede from the union have been filed on behalf of 23 states on the White House website, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions. Most of the petitions contain the same wording and ask to withdraw “peacefully” from the United States in order to form independent governments.

Critics describe the effort as a bit of an overreaction. “Anyone who wants their state to secede from the union is someone whose brain has already seceded from their body,” said John Andrews, director of the conservative Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University.

Still, the White House may have to take the requests seriously. According to the website, any petition receiving 25,000 online “signatures” on the “We the People” page within 30 days of posting will receive a review by the appropriate executive department and a response from a White House staffer.

As of Monday, the Texas petition had already exceeded the 25,000-signature threshold, and the Louisiana petition was fast approaching the cutoff with more than 18,000 signatures. Most of the petitions were posted online Nov. 10, which means they have until Dec. 10 to qualify for a response.

Agreed. all those bastards that were complaining about too high of taxes and needing tax cuts were pretty stupid.

Don’t forget, strikeout lives in a state that literally did secede because it wanted to continue to own black people.

Impossible to argue with.

Thanks for your well thought-out, constructive input.
Maybe you should now resume whining and complaining about others' name-calling.
Hypocritical much?

I didn't call anyone a name. I called what he said stupid. Smart people say stupid things all the time. Just because I said he made a stupid comment does not mean I was calling him stupid. Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension. Notice I did not call you any names in this post, although I thought about it.

You may be right, but I'm a big Silver fan and I think Goodell is a spineless moron. I'm not saying that because of the kneeling. I'm saying because he is indecisive on a lot of decisions.

Yeah, I know, but I just a hatred for CA. It's kind of unfair of me as I have never lived there, but oh well.
