jbluhm86 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just now, I saw one of the Ravens players taking a knee, but having his hand over his heart and singing the national anthem. I think this is a pretty decent compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I think the protests are largely built on false information but then everything is these days. Everything is slanted nonsense. It's not keeping me from watching because I don't value their opinions, like, at all. The masks are more of a turn off than the protests.

LondonBrown Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I turned the game on when I knew it had already started and I could avoid all the other stuff. I have been doing the same with soccer over here. Any player that wants to do whatever they want to do is perfectly fine by me, nobody should be able to tell someone what they can and cant do (legally) I hate the current sports coverage we are all getting and fully believe sport should be a release from everyday life, it becoming political is a terrible thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjh2130 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm all in. As maddening as the browns are I throughly enjoy watching football. I'm not going to punish myself and take something out of my life that i enjoy (especially when everything is so limited with covid) because someone has a certain viewpoint on something. Everyone is entitled their opinions and rights. To me it would be crazy to punish myself and take something out of my life I enjoy because someone has an opinion.

The unity pledge at the beginning, the black national anthem, the countless commercials, and whatever else. It's overkill and it doesn't do anything to stop racism. Heck, I can argue it actually does the freaking opposite. I absolutely detest BLM. They cause nothing but trouble in my town, they harass people on the sidewalk, they shut down traffic, and then they get upset when they get run over by car because they "have the right to protest in the streets and stop the flow of traffic". I hate racism, in all forms. But I'm also beyond furious that my hometown had to put up with "protesters" after 3 cops were cleared of shooting a black man who just murdered someone, said he was going to kill some cops, and pulled a gun on the police as they tried to apprehend him. This piece of shit got shot and we have to put up with broken windows, curfews, and whatever else. Wtf does this have to do with racism? Nothing. I feel like the world has gone crazy. We celebrate the life of a man wanted for sexual assault, who had other violent arrests, who had a knife and fought with police, and people donated $2.2 million to him. Do I feel like he deserves to be shot 7 times? No, absolutely not, but what choice did he give the cops? I know I'm rambling, but I'm just tired of it all. Sorry that certain people trying to have a voice, being treated as equals, and talking about real issues that upsets you, or caused you a delay in getting your Big Macs and MCcafe.

WarriorsRpussies Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 It's a good message and happy the league is on board, social injustice is a issue we all need to deal with, even if some people want to bury their heads in sand and ignore the problem because it make's them uncomfortable or is an inconvenient. I specially liked how the Chiefs did it after the anthem so there was NO debate over frivolous stuff . Exactly how big of complete piece of shit do you have to be, to boo an act of unity for humanity and peace, is beyond me? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 No less a patriot than Thomas Jefferson said "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing" for America. In my opinion Americans do more self-reflecting than any other nation on earth, and a hell of a lot of good has occurred because of it. So I am all for it. And to the people who think it should stay out of football and sports, we all know that the issue is more important than sports. Until we right what is obviously a terrible wrong, no venue should be safe from reminding us of this serious problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
