I figure the flag is more resilient than the cunts who piss and moan about those that do. After all. they’ll all be dead and the flag will continue to wave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Weird how everything is about dividing us. Just a couple of years ago, we all go to a Sunday football, stand shoulder to shoulder, be unified as Americans under one flag, enjoy the game. I miss that America. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted September 8, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted September 8, 2018 Interesting, especially since slavery wasn't abolished in britain until 1833. So to sum it up, the British used slaves to fight their battle for them and an emerging country is demonized for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone could just mind their own business and not pay any attention to the guys kneeling.

I don’t expect most on here to understand, but there are still people out here that just want to watch a game, movie, tv show , with out having politics forced on us. I just want to have fun & be entertained. If that makes me a racist or bigot I guess that’s me. Un apologetics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, which is why I don't let displays of politics bother me, I brush them aside like they never happened and thus it doesn't affect my watching of the games. You can't control what other people do but you can control how you react to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore it especially if you're watching it home...guarantee those that are bitching the most about it (not you Cold War but another member) are not standing with hand on heart in front of the tv.

After all, that's the most effective way to protest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
