Big girl Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 3 hours ago, Englebert said: I can't answer for the rest, but I don't like the kneeling during the national anthem because using this moment to protest is a provocative act designed to be distasteful to a large amount of people, just to get attention. Kaepernick had/has plenty of other opportunities to voice/express his protest message, but chose the most inflammatory method he could think of. He could have voiced his concerns during the media interviews following games. He could have walked out on the field and taken a knee before kickoff. He could have taken a knee anytime, but he chose to incite division and anger by purposely choosing the anthem. Liberals are the king of this. PETA employs this strategy on a regular basis...a strategy I'm not fond of at all. And I do recall you getting perturbed at me for using this strategy on you. That's not your call to make. He should not be vilified for exercising his constitutional right. Turn your head away from the tv, if you don't want to see players kneeling. You cant force patrotism Quote

Or, was that an honest oversight on your part? Why would he fight for a country that didn't grant him equal rights? A country that treated blacks like animals. Would you have felt compelled to go to war? Quote

Englebert Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Big girl said: You dont have the right to force him to do anything. You are free to give your opinion. That's exactly what I did...I gave my opinion, but you somehow accuse me of trying to force him to do something. Why do you make stuff up? Most people consider that "lying". And you say I'm free to give my opinion, but then accuse me of stifling rights when I do. What is wrong with you?! And the NFL does have every right to force him to do what they say. They can't throw him in jail for not following their procedures, but they have every right to fire him. Kaepernick's first amendment rights guarantee that the government cannot throw him in jail for his statements. The first amendment does not guarantee him the right not to get fired for his statements. It is a very simple concept that somehow is foreign to many people. You claim to be a nurse. Do your bosses have the right to fire you if you curse at your patients? Do your bosses have a right to fire you if you don't show up for work, even if your excuse for failing to show was due to participating in a protest? Do your bosses have a right to fire you for what they deem as inappropriate behavior? If you are assisting a doctor and he asks for a scalpel, and you take a knee instead, do your bosses have the right to fire you? Does the government have the right to throw you in jail for such actions? Can you see the difference? Now tell me again, does the NFL have the right to tell Kaepernick not to take or knee or risk being fired? baddog and Hagar 2 Quote
