I am sorry for all the oppression you have experienced. I will be kneeling at all national anthems until old white southern men are truly free.
Has Nike lost its mind.....Kaepernick is the new face for Nike's

Agree, except that wouldn't they do better hiring @johnhugh to promote them, as he certainly is the expert.
Welcome to NFL attendance numbers and Dick’s revenue after gun sale debacle.
I'm with you. If you're not dead you've never sacrificed anything in life. Die first and then we can talk about sacrifice. Well actually I'll talk about it you'll be dead. But I get your point. Death is the only sacrifice. The only. Yay death!
I've always said 90%of the country are nothing but snowflakes but each side calling each other snowflakes. It's not limited to liberals. Bunch of freaking cry babies.
Is this the white thread cause I'm getting killed in the other one?!?
I’m more disgusted that politics have invaded every facet of our lives. It would be nice to escape it every now and then.
I'm with you. There's almost nowhere for me to hide. It's almost like real life is getting into everything. Luckily I can still choose to do nothing unless it directly effects me. Thank God for that.
Can any conservative freedom loving hypocrite please explain why black players kneeling is so offensive to them?
Also, I’d love to hear your stance on the convicted murder that only got 15 years because he also wore a uniform.

There won't be any money spent on the Swoosh again in this household.
So if you do NOT agree, you're a hypocrite and Racist? That's more than hypocritical and Racist. That downright fvcking stupid.
Who are the snowflakes again? Somebody needs to order some cream for all this butthurt.
How do you feel about a convicted murderer getting 15 years for killing an unarmed teen?
I was astounded. That sentence brings to the table the argument of passing Eye for an Eye Legislation for families.
Probably wouldn’t have been only 15 years if there wasn’t a large population that agrees with cops killing people. What’s funny is that it’s the same conservatives that talk about being armed to protect themselves from the government. I guess tax paid police killing citizens doesn’t constitute as the government killing people.
Well considering Nike has been paying him this whole time, I don't know how much he's actually sacrificed.
(I really don't - I don't know a lot about this whole thing).
Why drag New Balance into this conversation?
Nike's Dry-fit shirts are good, but their shoes aren't that great. At least for me (they don't fit right).
Actually Hobby Lobby carries a lot of oddball shit that you can't find many other places. Need a soldering iron, a plastic dinosaur and some leather? They're your place.
Plus they carry Pinewood Derby stuff.
THAT would be an epic ad campaign. IF you can get the estate to agree to it.
That said - it could kinda cheapen what Tillman actually did and the sacrifice he made.

I will continue to choose my athletic footwear by which ones are on sale. Clearance, preferably.
Gotta pity the sheeple deceived and led around by cop-hating, anarchic bigotry.
Would like a collectivist, totalitarian choice and freedom hating bigot to explain who is doing all the slaughtering and being slaughtered in the progressive cesspits like Chicago and Baltimore. Cops, human dignity, and basic civility would sure help but you’re so blinded you can’t even see it. Sad. Deadly and sad. And you probably sit in a wealthy enclave railing against the man instead of engaging the culture and actually- you know- doing something in lives.
Pat Tillman would be standing right with Kaepernick...
To be fair his question was for Conservative freedom loving hypocrites. You responded. He didn't say disagreeing was hypocritical and racist. He asked a question to admitted conservative freedom loving hypocrites. I'm not saying you are any of those things. You can understand where one might assume that after you responded to the question tho. Right?
I like your style of arguing. Classic conservative.
I’m talking about a convicted murder getting only 15 years because he was a cop. What does black on black crime have to do with cops killing people. Maybe if cops killed more white teens people would call them out more.
End of the day cops are paid by tax dollars. They are here to serve and protect the citizens. If you want to live in a police state leave. There are plenty of big government countries you can fit in.
I don't fit the description of who you called for but a regular human being loving man who tries to please and stay in the will of his God has an answer. Many if not all of those are criminals that are doing the killings you speak of in Chicago. I admittedly don't understand what that has to do with unarmed people being murdered by trained keepers of the law tho. Seems like to separate issues. Seems I should be able to operate in Clemson with a clean record and the police treatment here should have no bearing on what is happening in Chicago. Am I right?
I'm not so much offended at it, as I think it's just stupid. If you're problem is police brutality, then why not call up all the other activists that believe the way you do(LeBron, Jim Brown, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al, etc.) and march on the Department of Justice in Washington, or the police station in Columbus, or Baltimore or Charleston.
In doing that, you're likely to get a lot of support from ordinary Americans of all colors. Some won't care because, well, some people don't care about anything. I would have been supportive of that. There certainly are examples of police brutality towards blacks.
But the key is, by kneeling rather than attacking the problem in a way that would make sense to most of America as described above, instead you've angered a lot of Americans by kneeling at one of their most sacred symbols.
And why? Does CK believe that the American government(hence kneeling for the flag) has some coordinated master plan to inflict police brutality on blacks? By the way . . . most of this happened when a black man was president.
That's it for me . . . it just doesn't make sense. Because of the dumbass way they(CK and BLM) went about it; is anyone talking about police brutality - the original issue? NO - they're all talking about kneelers being disrespectful for kneeling. They made the real issue a non-issue and created a whole other issue to argue about.
Stupidity at its' best.
Right, wrong or indifferent the entire take a knee movement has been extremely polarizing. Why would a corporation ignore this division and use it in their advertising? How is that good business? How do they think they can gain market share with this strategy? They wont gain and it is only a matter or how much they will lose.
It’s almost like they think their target audience thinks differently than those itt and that’s who they are going after.
Kneeing for a flag isn’t offensive. Fans are in line getting food, talking with their friends, using the restroom, and numerous other things during the anthem. Why not be a hero and stop that.
And yeah, people would still be mad if they did what you suggest. Pleanty of tiki torch whites were upset about that Lebron school lol.
Well, considering the issue is kneeling instead of standing.......
See, TIllman WOULD have a positive influence......

Ton of mistakes in your post. Funny how you didn't name any white folks to stand with LeBron and them. This is an American problem. Bad cops effect us all ultimately so it should be everyone's concern.
Secondly, the key was to bring awareness to the masses. Moving the people is much more effective than petitioning the government. A ground swell of support from citizens is the best first step. But again attacking the method of protest shouldn't stop me from supporting something I agree with. Right?
Thirdly, and the most ridiculous thing is probably your bottom that most of this happened while we had a black president. Shamefully this had been going on for all my life and I think it's safe to assume long before then as well. In fairness to you, you may have just become aware of it.
Lastly, you say it's become a non issue when people are still being murdered. Non issue because people are choosing not to hear what CK has repeatedly said. It's not about the military. Stupid people then continue to say that it is and delay progress. Other supposedly smart people claim to care if not for the disrespecting of the military. So the issue doesn't get addressed and it's somehow again blamed on the method of protest. If they had protested differently then people wouldn't be stupid and they would understand English when they say it's not about the military. You're right. I can see why you are confused.
The only issue I've heard about that is that it was reported as if it was 100% Lebron money, whereas in reality he did indeed donate a shitload of money (kudos to him for that) but a lot of tax money is also involved.
Now whether that is tax money that would have gone to a different school anyway or where it came from, I have no idea.
This thread should be moved to the Round Table.
From the beginning they stated that this was a public school. They marveled at this being his idea, his actual physical involvement, the amount of money he committed, but it has always been made clear it's a public school. Many don't and didn't understand why that distinction was made. He was asked whether it was private or charter because those schools sometimes can get by and lack legitimacy in the eyes of many. But to pull off an actual public school with all the red tape required is amazing. People choose to hear what they want.
Nobody said you had to agree. Just respect the person's choice to exercise his/her 1st amendment right.
No. There are no REAL conversations regarding Conservatism in this country. Conservatives became vermin during the last Administration.
There was a time when this Country had 2 parties capable of working through real problems. Today we have Socialist Liberals screaming at Far Far Righters....and then there's the majority of us left in the middle wondering why this push away from our Republic and wanting to destroy it. Me.... I just want to be left the fvck alone.....and I will fight to be left the fvck alone.....like the rest of the majority.
