“Report: Kap wanted $20 million to play in AAF https://t.co/1LWfAqOIcz”
He would kneel at practice and get suspended and cash his checks for free
Win win
@soxandgators hey, if you aren't angry I have no bone to pick. But it seems like a lot of people are angry
And hey, if that is how the team owners and coaches want to play it, great, he found a great way to make a statement and make money at the same time.
Let me be clear his cause is something I am passionate abiut myself....but using thst flag he can go fk himself for all i care
Too many shed blood for it that is off limits too any race and color
Owners are pigs we need 32 Paul allens
His call to value himself at $20 million and ours to laugh at that figure, along with all the teams who aren't paying him that
I disagree with you there. Americans have shed blood for that flag for hundreds of years now so that it can be within limits. The reason for this country's existence is to allow people to live freely, without oppression. To debate the flag, to love the flag, to protest the flag, that's what that flag means. It is the freedom to believe, and to do what we think is right.
I agree too that point also
Think about how stupid a team would be to give someone $20m to CONVINCE them to play again
But hey, let's talk about football
He wouldn't be effective if he isn't all in
It just hits home for alot of us who have read about so many dieing alot of times for no reason
Actually, there are many rules regarding how you treat the American flag
That flag just exemplifies that sacrifice. The government proganda b.s.
Like, you aren't allowed to leave one out on a flag pole, not lit, overnight
Yea i have beat this like a dead horse
Thank you too all of you who served
The argument that it's his right to protest is a good one. It also makes the argument of the right to not hire him, because of these freedoms you speak of, @Zamboni8
Not to mention the NFL hiding cte
NFL is savage for that money
They got us hook line a sinker because we are all so loyal to sport and our teams
@HubbCity I don't debate that. The question perhaps is whether it is legally sound to not hire someone for exercising their constitutional rights. I am not learned enough to know the right answer, but my understanding is that there is some serious debate surrounding the issue. We have the right to bear arms, but I expect to be fired for bringing a gun to work. That said, something would feel wrong about being fired for kneeling during the national anthem. I am not sure there is a clear answer here, which is probably why everyone gets so mad ;)
