OT Taking a Knee in China

[PalmettoTiger1]

Any of you woke athletes got the balls to take a knee against the human abuses in China

Some friends and I were talking around the table last night and we all spit out the bourbon when
Someone suggested we send Colin Kapernick and
LeBron James to Beijing and then criticize China for human rights violations

They can bitch at the American way of life but in reality they are winy weenies of a coward when it comes to what matters

Show me your backbone guys

Oops it’s that Benjamin that gives you courage

Now that would be real courage which most of the kneelers do not have

This is what makes me personally not want to watch sports including when the Clemson team players started getting involved with causes even when they might be legitimate

Stick to football or the sport and let me enjoy just the game

This place really has become Facebook.

This is why I pay no attention to the news anymore.

I know we have been talking about poking the bear, but this one was a bit out of left field, and my permanent address is out there.

That is what I love about TI. You can go from a "lively" debate on our recruiting process; to a woke rant; to Blackstone griddle recipes all in the course of a day or two. It really expands my mind.

Riveting post.

You’re puffing out your chest about how Kaepernick (and Lebron) wouldn’t “show you his backbone” because “it’s that Benjamin that gives him courage” but the dude ultimately sacrificed a lot of money and his NFL career doing what he did. You made it clear that you don’t agree with him and that’s fine but that particular statement is stupid.

He made more getting paid off than he ever would have playing football.

CK doesnt matter to me one way or the other, but I would bet that he has come out ahead financially

also need to look internally ....

If you buy goods "made in china" youre just as much as a hypocrit as the Woke. Its tough, but do your best to avoid goods made in China, especially for major purchases.

Ole Joe could earn a lot clout with me if he were to bolster trade agreements with Central and South American countries and give American companies great tax incentives to move their manufacturing out of China to these locations. Knee caps China, all the while assisting with one of the root causes of immigration.

If he was suffering financially he would change his conduct and stand up for the anthem and praise America

I am in the court that says he is profiting from his stand and he really does not always believe what he says or does

I saw the interview with his white mom who was upset with his position saying she did not know where that came from
