[cableok]

There are some things beyond disgusting. What some adults are teaching others is downright scary.
The picture in this article is chilling.

We teach them to not kneel for the flag by their “role models”.

No. But we clearly have taught the latest generation that the best way to draw attention to your cause is to do something that disrespects others.

Trump is the example. Follow the leader?

 

[Ostatedchi]

Trump is a symptom, not the cause.

We should have elected the morally superior Hillary Clinton, huh?

What's idiotic is that people would choose a protest that doesn't further their cause but is totally disrespectful to our veterans.

All they have done is piss people off they rely on for their incomes. Damaged the business's they work for and hurt veterans who have actually "sacrificed everything" for their country.

I know they are going for max effect but anyone with a brain knows you don't do it it in such a way that drives people away. To me this is nothing more than the stupid hubris of young people that don't understand where million dollar money tree comes from.

They think they can get away with anything and the big bucks will never stop. NFL owners know different but they are gutless and won't do anything to change it.

A veteran suggested he kneel in a manner of respectful protest...kinda blows a big hole in your narrative.

Noticed you used "veteran" in a singular fashion. 10% or more would be a better sample but alas that probably doesn't exist. A few veterans is not representative.

No, the veteran and him came to an understanding. The veteran never told him to or agreed to do it with him... now that blows a big hole in your narrative.

The veteran recommended he kneel, which is a common gesture of respect. Now tell me I’m lying

I did not call you or say that you were lying. Wrong, yes, but not lying. I have seen the interview.. You still have not posted the quote from him.. Take another look..

Do you think Nate Boyer is as bad as some posters on this board feel he is?

“"We sorta came to a middle ground where he would take a knee alongside his teammates," Boyer says. "Soldiers take a knee in front of a fallen brother's grave, you know, to show respect. When we're on a patrol, you know, and we go into a security halt, we take a knee, and we pull security."

Exactly. Now just show me where it says "he recommended". He did not recommend anything and he even went on to say... that is not me ..that he would not do it, he would only stand with his hand on his heart.

I know it is just a little detail, but it is one that means a lot. IMO

I do not think NB is a bad guy. Honestly I think he "sorta" offered his approval to a guy that, IMO, has made a one time livable situation into a big pile of shit.
