Again, complete and utter hypocrisy.

Oh.. that makes sense, I thought he was talking about some NFL politics/players I was unaware of.

What about other sports leagues like the MLB and NHL that have teams from Canada. Are U.S. players allowed to show concern about Canada's social injustices by kneeling during the playing of Canada's national anthem at games?

The whole thing is stupid. It comes down to the contract between the employer and the employee, just like at any other job. Do what you are contracted to do. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't want them to kneel, type it up and make them agree to it, and also agree to consequences for breech of the contract. It's simple business.

But, if you REALLY give a shit if someone who you don't even know doesn't stand up, take their hat off and put their hand over their heart when a certain song is played, I think you have bigger problems.

I don't ask motherfuckers to do jumping jacks whenever 'Free Bird' hits the speakers.

4chan isn't the name of a hacker, it is a web board where people post. Here is the URL: 4chan

Any hacker calling themself '4chan' is trolling you.

I'm in contact with hackers and Anons. What did you need homie?

In America's new post-truth political climate, I think it's useful to be aware of this process:-



From what I've seen, this is exactly what's happened on these topics:-
Birtherism
Inaugural crowd-size
Phone tapping by Obama
Wall construction and Trump's claim that "we have no border"
etc, etc.
Spygate

Feel free to add any that I've missed.

An honourable move.

So basically, a lot of Americans can't think for themselves, so they accept ad populum and verecundiam fallacies. This isn't a Trump phenomena.

in general canadians are way less idiotic about things like our stupid flag song, so kneel if they want but i doubt anyone here would care.

the nut jobs did come out of the woodwork when they changed the words to it recently though

it went from “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command”

idk why anyone cares about the song, it don’t even bump in the whip
