So someone standing up for what they believe in deters people from coming to the games and paying money for entertainment?
answer:no
So long as people like football there will be football what the players do belief wise doesn't change this,granted I don't agree with their reason,but even so a few things a person does or multiple people do belief wise,overall doesn't change that so long as there is demand for football there will be football,granted that they probably should consider acquiring licenses for protest,but other than that there is nothing unconstitutional about protesting especially in a non violent way,honestly I don't see this tearing any branch of football down,it's a business and sport,just like any business there are divisions on beliefs and choices,they don't have to quit their job to protest necessarily,a protest can be a simple boycott like with the anthem,is it bothersome to some,yes but it's nothing that hasn't been done before even "entertainers" can protest something even while in the industry,especially the entertainment industry.
I mean seriously if some celebrity was just fired or up and left for something as simple as boycotting an anthem,people would notice and most likely fight for the person to come back,so leaving the profession in order to protest is not likely,because the industry would come under scrutiny.

I have always been a dreamer, so that is nothing new.
I realize there are corrupt police officers, judges, and dog show judges. BUT they all have written sets of criteria they are supposed to uphold.
Yes, citizens are to obey laws, but our opinions are not yet legalized. I am sure there are multitudinous opinions about any topic.
I meant that we are Christians, and should imagine how it might feel to be marginalized, so try very hard not to marginalize other people.
I did not know white people are the minority. This might explain why there is a recent uptick in neonazi behaviors. This sort of thing is motivated by fear, I do believe. Paton’s book was about fear, and how both groups in South Africa were afraid of each other. It is a great book, and beautiful, if you’ve never read it.
I do not know much about African history, but Paton was an Afrikaaner, and knew what he was writing. Apartheid was evil and created to control the diamond trade. A truly evil system.
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, that people would be judged on the contents of their characters rather than the colors of their skins. So, if I am dreaming, I am in very good company.

great
now I have Lennon in my head
I really do not make those kind of comparisons.
well, maybe when you get a year or two under the belt, we can have another pow wow. a little history would also serve well
check out what the Bible has to say about fear...and then compare it to your observations above.
that's your homework should you choose to do it
truly must be off to put out the doggies and get coffee ready for tomorrow am cause I sure want to have some ready when I get up

I doubt two years would improve my debating skills.
The Bible says that perfect love casts out fear, and this is beautifully demonstrated in Paton’s book. The characters love each other at the end, and are no longer afraid.
I confess that much of my history comes from novels.
I did not mean to impugn you, but sometimes it is difficult to ascertain what a poster’s world view is based on his posts.
For the life of me, I can not figure out why Lennon wrote “imagine there’s no Heaven” instead of “imagine there’s no Hell”. It would be a good song except for that line.
Good Night, and take good care of your dogs.

always about being a racist (not to mention being a sexist) blah blah blah… by steph curry or whoever it was, to refuse trumpl's invitiation shows how bitter he still is. im not trying to be a racist as you would think but just open your eyes and see the truth. and im tired of hearing trump is such a racist!! it drives me crazyyyy!
steph curry just proved to be the ultimate hypocrite - he and his team were invited to the white house. they had a wide open opportunity to speak to the person they disagree with . they could have spoke to the president IN PERSON. but, while talking about mr. trump dividing people, they just drove the wedge deeper.
