I take it you scorn the criticism and disparagement of Brees and Gates equally? [Reply]

1 pick from Mahomes. Thank God we traded up.
Can’t imagine how lucky those bastards would be going from Brees to Mahomes. Hope we get that lucky when it’s time for Pat to hang it up [Reply]

So why kneel during the National Anthem?
Take a knee on the first play on offense, take a knee during the coin toss... why take a knee during the brief part of a 3+ hour game when attention/respect is specifically directed to the flag if his protest has “jack shit” to do with the flag? [Reply]

Brees decided to take it back to kneeling as if that really disrespected the flag. As if that's a battle we needed to re-litigate at this very point.
It's wonderful that he's given millions of dollars to charity. But he's absolutely also one of the top role models in the NFL. I'm now living in Lafayette, Indiana which is the home of Purdue and I have 4 male teenage nephews that idolize him. This is a thoughtless message to send right now that absolutely muddles and obscures the pertinent issues.
I love Drew Brees, but this was fucking dumb. [Reply]

Then explain to me, how I was beside myself with the kneeling. You find a post of me bitching about the kneeling, with me beside myself from it. I will donate $100 to whatever cause you want, if you can’t find it you can donate the same amount to my pick.
Feel free to address my actual point instead of just launching into personal attacks.
People like you are the problem. Stop enabling racist double standards. [Reply]

Lol you've never once tried to explain, in plain English - why kneeling in protest of police brutality is offensive to the troops or flag or w/e - but "home of the CHIEFS" is not.
Go ahead. I'm listening.
When you're done here why don't you go whitesplain it to Malcom Jenkins? He clearly needs to be educated on the subject. [Reply]

"Disrespecting the troops" seems like and extremely malleable and arbitrary standard to me. If kneeling, which Kaep specially said he was doing out of respect for the troops, is disrespectful to the troops or flag - then why isn't "Home of the CHIEFS"? Who makes these rules? Oh wait, I know who.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I think kneeling during the Anthem to protest racial injustice is one of the most American things that an athlete can do.
Soldiers sacrificed, and sometimes gave their lives to protect the rights of American citizens. Exercising the rights that so many fought for is honoring those that sacrificed, not disrespecting them.

Most everyone who had problems with Kaep's protest was mostly about how muddled and poorly thought out it was, and they simply observed that it was muddled and poorly thought out.
I wish people would think about the consequences of their stances. When you demonstrate for dignity, what kind of message is it to say 'if you won't let me disavow the nation and it's flag, I guess the only other thing I can think of is looting and violence.' What does that say about your own self-esteem? The amount of effort you are willing to put into eloquence and leading by example?
Typical Babble Lee dissembling BS.
Plenty of people were hopping mad about the kneeling. I know people whose whole family stopped watching the NFL because of it. Trump fanned the flames as always and really blew up the whole issue with his "Get that son of a bitch off the field". My stepdad's family in AZ all stopped watching the NFL over it.
But let's just pretend like none of that ever happened. [Reply]

This, exactly. The Brees discussion is about kneeling.
And I still haven't and will never get a straight answer on why kneeling is so disrespectful, but "home of the CHIEFS" or stuff like POTUS dry-humping the US flag - is not.
It's all bullshit. It's the exact same double-standard shit people are protesting now. I can get pulled over by the cops and never have to worry about being choked to death, because I'm white. That's the entire point of this week of chaos. For Brees to think right now is a good time to go after kneeling is incomprehensible. [Reply]
