Excellent! Thanks for posting it!


Just finished reading the link. Allen West is very impressive. From the link:

When the National Anthem is played, I salute because I am a black man born and raised in the inner city afforded the opportunity for greatness in my own right. May you seek God’s forgiveness and find humility, because we, the people are not going to forget what you did and said.

Yep, just what I thought. He knew he was going to get beat out because of his performance this preseason and this is going to be his excuse.

I hope SF tells him to walk.

Whatever you think is wrong or right here is another look at it. When he's one the field he's working. He's paid to do a job. Part of the job is not to do things with may upset those that make his company(the 49'ers and NFL money). I think he failed at that today.

Companies have dress codes, conduct codes and all kinds of other rules. Make your political statement on your own time.

If I had an employee that did something that could negatively affect a large portion if our client base we would have a problem.

Seems most definite.
He knows he is on the chopping block for performance, so he is calling for the racist card distraction play.

Actually our forefathers would be thinking that any professional athlete (no matter how he acts up) is worth exactly as much as he signed his contract for. No more, no less. You know that yet make some dumb ass professional sports remark just because you don't watch?

I believe our Forefathers would say "why should we care what this ENTERTAINER (which is a category ALL pro athletes fall into) thinks and if he's stupid enough to express his views in such a fashion, he can be ostracized by us and his fellow Americans"... making his life hell. Unfortunately intelligence is not a requisite for citizenship.

It's quite possible that the players on the opposing teams may share their displeasure with him during each game.

Well, the idiot should be pointing the blame at unions and protectionist bureaucrats.

Fuck him and the goat he rode in on.

Makes sense to me.

I can't embed the video because it's from Facebook, but really good look at what Jeff Fisher told his team about the national anthem:

https://www.facebook.com/losan...s/10153647947030981/

excerpt:
quote:
Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher: "National anthem... It's a respect thing. It's a self-respect thing. It's a respect for your teammates. It's a respect for this game. It's a respect for this country... It's an opportunity to realize how lucky you are..."

This is how we do it...

Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the National Anthem began near the end of last season, coinciding with being benched for the final 8 games. After a dismal 2-6 start, Kaepernick was replaced with Blaine Gabbert, a Caucasian quarterback. Sour-grapes is the new racism. Roll Eyes

Couldn't the owner keep this idiot in the locker room until AFTER the National Anthem? Can't he also dictate who can speak to the media while on HIS property?

If I were the owner of the team...ok assuming I couldn't or didn't want to fire the idiot...I'd keep his butt away from a TV camera before the game and after the game. Idiot wants a platform...yeah, not in my building.

Sounds like Kap is going for his Ryan Lochet moment in sports, since he can't make it as athlete.

I suspect if Eddie D. were still running the 49'ers, Kap would have had a boating accident by now, with the body being washed out to sea. More likely Kap, 30 seconds after his stunt, would now be in search of a job with BLM.

The BLM movement is all about Black relevance. African Americans are quite becoming the bottom rung of the ladder in the US.

Rung one is evil Whitey.
Rung two which once were African Americans, is now held by Hispanics.
Rung the is pretty much held by Asian Americans, with the H1B converted to green cards / US citizenship Indians Columbus was looking for but failed to find.
Rung four is owned by African Americans.
Rung five is held by the American Indians.

Economically it's even worse for African Americans. With Asian and Indian way above them. Only the American Indian is worse off.

It's the African American community's last gasp at relevance.

You think that Asian's, Indians and Hispanics give a damn about the poor oppressed African Americans? I seriously doubt it.The heavily armed Korean's of the LA riots certainly did not care and would no doubt have opened fire on the poor oppressed African Americans trying to get their denied share of wealth or goodies.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

If I were the coach of the team playing against this ass-hat, I'd CERTAINLY use that little nugget to motivate my defensive line and linebackers. That dude would see more turf than Scotts weed and feed.....

Maybe it's dicktards like this that wake up the silent majority and remind us what liberty and freedom really means.
