Book it! I saw Anthony Ervin took a knee in Brazil on Sunday. https://swimswam.com/anthony-ervin-kneels-national-anthem-raia-rapida/The chick from another country behind him is looking at him like he needs his ass kicked up over his head... and she looks ready to do it. I concur.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

Bwana,
Haven't been able to watch a hockey game yet. Have they started in that sport at all?

Kriist, may as well ruin the Summer Olympics too...only comes every 4 years but they have to chiit on it. Bet there's no kneeling in the Winter games Well... we will see. It's done in NFL, MLB, college sports, little league sports, I'm sure jr. high/high school as well. Why not the Olympics? Anthony Ervin just did it where he won gold last year. With literally the world watching? Not some American Foosball shown only in 'Merica! Honest to god, I want to know what JSTUART thinks of this. Americans are in a unique situation with the First Amendment to protest their government or speak mostly how they want and when they want, especially against the government (I'm speaking of the world stage of the Olympics and not about NFL where it's mostly shown to Americans in America). You know someone is going to do it. Someone wants the attention. Would Russia tolerate someone taking a knee for THEIR anthem at the Olympics? How many countries would? Frankly, I'd be laughing my ass off if some American knelt for the anthem after winning gold and some Ukranian or Brit walked over after, on camera, and bitch slapped the chit out out the American. Please note: I'm 100% against anything but taking your head gear off and placing your right hand over your heart during the anthem. And let's keep politics off the field. And Bwana, they'd have done it last year in the summer Olympics if it was Trendy and Trump had spoken against it at that point. How Trump figures in is another story for another thread. If I was a bettin' man, I'd put $$ on American winter athletes kneeling, but only for the American national anthem.

I love to watch certain events in the winter Olympics. I like the luge and bobsled, curling, many of the nordic events, and especially hockey.
But I SWEAR, if I see a single american athlete so much as TWITCH when our flag is being raised or our anthem is being played, the TV goes off and I will be ice fishing and goose hunting the rest of the month.
More than any other athletic moment in our country, this event is about NATION FIRST.

And who provides financial support for the Olympic athletes? They might want to consider that...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

This National Anthem protest stuff goes back to the 1968 Summer Olympic Games. It caused a stir then, and this new is just recycled attention whoring. The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was a political demonstration conducted by African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. After having won gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter running event, they turned on the podium to face their flags, and to hear the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner". Each athlete raised a black-gloved fist, and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. In addition, Smith, Carlos, and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets. In his autobiography, Silent Gesture, Smith stated that the gesture was not a "Black Power" salute, but a "human rights salute". The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games.[1]

I just attended the funeral of my grandfather on Saturday. A WWII Vetran, a hard working, self-made man that had great respect for this country. I watched the Honor Guard give him a 21 gun salute after the service, and a member of the Marines and the Army fold 2 flags. One for my Vietnam Veteran Uncle, and one for my father.
If I'm at an event and see someone take a knee, they'er going to be on them for a long time after I'm finished stomping a mud hole in they ass and walking it dry.

New or not new.

Fish,
And of course now Krapondick is suing for "collusion" by NFL owners, playing the victim while snickering about the BS he has caused.
I saw highlights of his lawyer saying "Not 1 NFL owner will deny that Colin is in the top 20 quarterbacks in the game today, definitely in top 30....no doubt top 65",,,,,WTF ? great spokesman you are azzhole lol
Top 65 ?

I would just have to kick his ass off the team. This isn't the NFL or the NBA where the owners have to put up with a lot of crap in order to get a game played. This is representing our country. I'd have to send his ass packing to wherever his sensitivities allow him to compete.
Sad to say it won't happen because the coaches want to win and like the NFL owners will put up with a lot of crap to do it. The sponsors are the only thing that could get results. Again if it were me I wouldn't want my product supporting some half wit activist that thinks he has the authority to disrespect the country he is paid to represent.

Top 65 ? Krapondick is blaming Trump in the suit for his quitting the 49ers and not getting picked up by another team. He has a future on his knees... in gay porn. He's going to star as Michael Sam in "Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys do Michael Sam."
