Flag and National Anthem protests

[Firefly]

I support the First Amendment- Not when your getting Millions to Play a Game- How about every Wall Street Executive Taking a Knee to their Boss- How LONG would they Last doing that?

So your right to free speech ends because you make a lot of money doing something you are skilled at and maybe you also got lucky?

You really need to take a civics 101 class.

i hope the entire Dallas Cowboys team takes a knee and tells Jerry Jones to take a flying leap.

Thank you for all who laid out their piece. Just remember this quote from a famous person.

"Tell me where you've been and I will tell you who you are"

There are quotes similar to that; but, that one doesn't show.

It sounds close to: "Tell Me What you Did Today, And I'll Tell You Who You Are"

"Tell me where you've been and I will tell you who you are"

Is this somehow relevant to the conversation? I don't get it.

I think we've made it past relevancy.

I figured it out.

If you've been on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, you are the Commander-In-Tweet.

It would appear that anything said by anybody is not going to change anyone's mind. People have their opinions, and that is what they are. All that has been accomplished is the usual infighting by factions. It is obvious that the political divide has shown its ugly head.

I repeat: Another fire storm that will never be solved in this forum.

No further comments. :thumbup:

That's all this type of thread is supposed to be; a place to express opinions. Given the number of members on this forum, should we ever expect there won't be differences of opinion? I think it's an interesting exchange of opinions, some informed and some not. I didn't think we would 'solve' anything, if by solving you mean come to a common understanding and agreement on an issue. Right?

Hi Rogue Hawk,

Re: the owners can censor whatever they wish and it's lawful.

I rather doubt that. In another forum, someone posted about the player's union allowing them their free speech rights.

Earlier today I read where ( apparently ) Jerry Jones, who owns the Cowboys, said he will fire any player who takes a knee. This after he took a knee last week.

Does even one person on here think he will actually fire a player for taking a knee?

Reminds me of the old saying about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Jerry Jones is trying to have it both ways. He found out how much he really pissed off the fans. Its the fans that pay him and his players.

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

i really don't care what the players, owners or others do. i'm not watching, i'm not attending. i have netflix, porn & a spyder to take
up my time and not get me pissed off.

We all have freedom of speech and agree that we all should have it . Even stupid people have it. Most intelligent people temper their freedom of speech, with common sense. If your thoughts differ from one of your customers or clients or bosses, it's pretty much common sense, keep it to yourself. Rarely are you put into a situation where you have to violate your principles over it.

Here is something about freedom of speech that puzzles me. It's people that put the sign of the fish on their business cards. No one with a brain (IMO) would put on their business card "I'm a Republican/Democrat". So why would you put the sign of the fish? Since, I have been screwed in business a number of times by people that claimed to "be a good christian", If I see the sign of the fish or they answer the phone with "God bless you", I'm walking, my freedom of speech. The only flag that I wave is the American flag.

Hi Rogue Hawk,

Re: Its the fans that pay him and his players.

Based upon what I have read over the last 15 yrs or so; it is the TV contracts that pay him/them far more than any warm seats in the those stadiums.

i think the porn stars are always on their knees & the guys on film and those who watch are always saluting.
