Pat Tillman was a man. The NFL is full of spoiled brats and crybabies, which go hand in hand. Very few men.

He has a constitutional right NOT to stand. I never stand or put my hand over my heart. I think it is stupid. I am not protesting anything. How many of you guys stand for the pledge when it is played before a sporting event when you are in the comfort of your homes. If the answer is " I dont", why don't you stand.

One the pledge is not said at sporting events, the national anthem is played.  and yes I do stand and reflect on what the flag stands for and for those who died for that flag.

that's fine don't stand, but kap is not standing because he is protesting something or bringing awareness to something.

Back to the opening post......is it creating more issues or helping the issue to be solved?

What is your reasoning for not honoring the flag?

I don't stand for anthem when I am home for a couple of reasons.  I usually am not watching at that point in the game.  Additionally, when I am at home and watching the game,  I dont get out my  umbrella if it is raining at the game sight.  I also don't duck when I am watching rioters throw bricks when  watching that activity on the television.

Do you stand when you are watching the game when the national anthem is played? It is about respect, right?

Guess its a matter of perspective.  When I am not a direct participant in an event, I deal with things differently.   I also did not salute or put my hand over my heart when I watched the bodies from Benghazi being unloaded from the airplane( yes, the time that Mrs. Clinton directly LIED to the parents of the slain) via television but you can rest assured I would have if I had been in their physical presence.

Exactly, Big Girl is trying to make an issue out of something when there is no issue.

Yes I do, but I don't watch many sporting events on tv or at least I don't catch the beginning of the game most of the time.  I have my reason why I do stand while at home...... 4 lil ones

I didn't say he wasn't protesting.  re read it.

Sounds like a low information voter to me.   Please let me know how Mr. Cheney single handedly authorized the war in Iraq.   Yes, I am talking about the one that Mrs. Clinton voted for.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
