Nobody who complains about NFL players taking a knee during the anthem stands up for it at home

[TotalInsanity4]

and if trying to denounce somebody purely based on a profile pic and putting words in ones mouth is all you can do, go back to school.

Well... And username and forum title :/

I'm not judging you but I'm pointing out that you're not exactly doing yourself any favors

 

[Cylent1]

Lol, they don't have a time clock. NFL players aren't paid hourly.

I rest my case.... They are always on the clock!

 

[TotalInsanity4]

If you dress and act like one then you raise concern.

Sorry but what the hell does this mean

Absolutely not true, it is illegal for companies to penalize someone from unionizing or protesting in a way that doesn't take away from doing their work. This is actually an issue Elon Musk is under fire for currently

Though it is not formulated as such in the sentence of the constitution, so that part should have come from a law outside it.

Well, if you had actually clicked on it or read my previous posts, you'd know that blacks are prosecuted at about a 3:1 rate compared to whites for both possession and sales of drugs. 2:1 for Latinos. And I already posted an article with a quote from a Nixon aide admitting that the War on Drugs was primarily a racial thing, so you're just completely wrong on that first point.

Trump didn't say "MS13," he said Mexicans. There's really no justifying or excusing away his statements.

But he clearly meant MS13.

I guess I don't know specifics but I'd assume it was a Supreme Court ruling

Or, alternatively, they're payed to play football and whatever else they do (so long as it doesn't impact performance) is their business

Do I have to spell it out? Wearing colors, cuts, patches, bandannas.

Yes actually because I have no idea what you just said

There seems to be a ruling from around 1969 https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-spee...cy/can-schools-discipline-students-protesting
Though that is only schools but could be taken as being in effects for the workplace to.
That as long as it does not impede work/school protest 100% is allowed and cannot be punnished

And like i said they have the right to dissacosiation(protest) and so do the owners.
The only thing that part says is that the goverment is not allowed to impede ones rights to it.
And from what i can remember the team owners are not goverment, and thus have the rights as well.

You got me there, but at the same time they can still site the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette.

Yep, I knew about the school one, no idea if it extends to the workplace though. Logic would say yes, but laws are fickle

Let me reword it for you. If you look like you're part of a gang/club you may be a part of one so the Police will investigate.

No, that isn't clear. That's a good interpretation if you're trying to make him more likable, but in reality it's not as if he hasn't made a ton of similar statements in the more recent past.

I rest my case.... They are always on the clock!

They're only "on the clock" in the metaphorical sense when the game clock is running, since they do often get performance bonuses. Pre-game and the anthem don't affect that in any way. They can jack off on the sidelines during the anthem for all I care, I'm not even paying attention for that part nine times out of ten. Anybody who takes offense at kneeling is a snowflake.

You can dislike him all you want but that's what he meant. Now when he refers to MS13 he calls them MS13.

You can like him all you want, but that doesn't mean you get to edit his comments after the fact. He said what he said.

 

[MaverickWellington]

You say that yet you entirely ignored my question, so elobarate.
On the racism in the usa only btw, since as said to another that is the scope now used.

and if trying to denounce somebody purely based on a profile pic and putting words in ones mouth is all you can do, go back to school.

This is a thread.
On a topic relating US sports.
Relative to US perceptions of racism.

Why would we be talking about racism elsewhere, and even then, I straight up said racism is bad period. That's all there is to it. I don't need to condemn things specifically, I said the whole thing is bad. If you're wanting me to condemn things specifically, suck my ass. I don't follow the standards of some fucking loser who watches cartoon horses.

 

[The Catboy]

It's a Police officers job to investigate potential drug dealers and wrong doers. If you dress and act like one then you raise concern

Nice dog whistle.

I didn't edit anything. But he is referring to MS13.

Chill this is a friendly debate.

Easily distinguished. Public schools are government institutions.

No, but you're claiming something demonstrably false. He said Mexicans, therefore he was referring to Mexicans. He's since made other racist statements toward Mexicans and Arabs which were later used against him in the DREAMER and Muslim ban court decisions.
