This man at Sunday’s Patriots-Jets game respects the United States and its national anthem so much that he turned the country’s flag into a picnic blanket. Reader Marshall spotted the patriot, who is better than all of us, at the Jets’ stadium.
A little more detail:
Basically, me and my friend were walking around the stadium sometime during the 3rd quarter. There is a huge tv screen by the food carts right inside the stadium where people gather to watch. We went over there to check it out and we saw him spread the flag out and sit down.
I thought it was too ironic so I snagged a picture. He sat on it for a few minutes before leaving.
A true American.

Well of course, those uppity blacks don't deserve to have their voices heard.
Problem is the protest's gesture doesn't make any goddamn sense as a protest and no one cares what highly paid athletes who are insulated from culpability in their criminal activities have to say about income inequality or whatever other bullshit they're trying to accomplish.
If they don't care about it, why have they been freaking out and having public meltdowns about it for months?

Because hearing rich people complain about oppression makes most people angry. I don't think the anti-racism message is getting across because 99% of middle/lower class white people are like "Shit, for NFL money, you can call me a nigger all day and make me pick cotton, boss."
"Don't care" as in "Shut up about your supposed civil rights grievances and fuckin' play ball already."
Anyone heard about Germany virtue-signaling about this? I know in one of their latest matches they also did the "bend the knee" nonsense to stand against racism or something.
That's not what I've seen. I've seen YouTube videos with people frothing at the mouth and literally screaming at the camera about treason and Communism and yada yada, people making bonfires out of merchandise they spent thousands of dollars on, and all kinds of crazy, really totally mad stuff.
Don’t bend the knee like a total faggot!
Do some black power saluting instead!

Yet more salt from Infowars.
At least until the next lockout. (I'd take the knee to protest Bettman)
My mom told me that in the 70s my father was arrested for sleeping on the beach and using an American flag as a blanket. Of course that was another era. Apparently they were as pissed about the flag as they were the beach vagrancy. Those same types of people don't like this either. Like I get that you should have a certain level of respect for national symbols. But come on, it's not like the flag is a god or anything. People hold the symbolism high while not giving a damn about the fact that such a symbol stands for rights like protesting against said symbol.
It really seems to me that the people against the whole "take a knee" thing are acting the most autistic here yet they can't see it. Not at all. Whether you agree with it or not it's a peaceful protest. No rioting. No cars set on fire. Now looted CVS stores with smashed windows.
So burn all your NFL stuff and cry big fat tears on social media over some virtue signalling that will eventually run its course. Meanwhile no one taking a knee is bawling and acting like a retarded toddler.
Maybe the UK will get in on it too.
Mike Stivik was right about the national anthem. It's a dumb song no one can remember the words to anyway.
Someone pointed this out, and I hadn't thought about it until then, but this whole thing may be Trump deliberately stirring the pot to give the NFL a PR headache (knowing full well that sports autism is self-winding once let loose) as "payback" for his USFL days...... Specifically when he sued the NFL for anit-trust and won... a whopping $3 (not a joke, look it up)
He seems like the kind of guy who holds petty grudges against that kind of "disrespect".
Apologies if someone already brought this up.

Could be a twofer. Despite what his reeing opponents think and constantly assert, Trump is not a stupid guy. When he does stuff like this, he's energizing his base and baiting the media into focusing on dumb NFL nonsense instead of... well, what the news media might call "more substantial issues" even though it's almost always "TWO SCOOPS" tard raging.
I'm sure if Trump can accomplish that while paying an old enemy back, he'll do so happily. I mean it's not as if misusing your political power against your enemies is a novel activity in American politics.
He tried to purchase the Buffalo Bills a couple of years ago. He also attempted to purchase the New England Patriots back in the 80's. He's always wanted an NFL team but never managed to get one.
fftopic:The whole USFL story is really fascinating. They actually weren't doing too bad until Trump came and tried to make them compete with the NFL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Football_League
Trump, just give Vince the money to bring back the XFL
