Thank You: Stills, Foster, Jenkins and Thomas

Here here! Proud of them.

 

Oh boy, here it comes...

 

The only thing I want to thank Stills for is dropping the easiest TD pass in history.

 

I have no issue with their decision to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem. They have every right under the Constitution to express their views in a peaceful manner.

What I do have a problem with is Stills inability to catch a perfectly thrown ball with no defender within 10 yards of him and then completely disappearing from the offense for the rest of the game. If he can't play better than he did yesterday, he will have plenty of time to perfect his kneeling the rest of this season. Because his won't be seeing much of the playing field if he can't catch the ball when it is thrown to him.

 

Interesting take on the Seattle "protest" here:

My problem is they are kneeling down protesting police officers doing their jobs. Yes, sometimes accidents happen, but by and large the perpetrators brought it on themselves. Every video I have seen showed a person NOT obeying police orders. It's not like police are shooting up honor students. These people had arrest records and in most cases had a weapon on or near them.

It's just because they are black. That's the only reason.

The ONLY reason.

 

I can't wait until we as fans stop pretending to care about what players do during the National Anthem.

 

Bunch off asshats if you ask me. Was it done in a calm manner sure but yesterday wasn't about social injustice, it wasn't about black white or green lives matter, it was about showing your respect to the victims of 9/11 and HONORING the men and women who risk and gave their lives so people can protest. Having served in the Army for 4 years during Persian Gulf and Panama I find it offense for any AMERICAN to kneel or opt out of the National Anthem especially since they are making millions of dollars. If you are so upset about social injustice as they claim take some of your money and start a foundation in those communities to give back. Is there a time and a place for protesting? Hell yes and I applaud those people who do it peacefully. Yesterday wasn't the day to do it and I'm upset that these guys who represent a team I love choice to be complete *******s in my opinion on the day when we should be honoring our soldiers and the victims of 9/11.

 

While the Constitution allows us the freedom of speech that they displayed, it was terribly offensive to those of us who spent any time in the military, who volunteered in the aftermath of 911 or any, any police, first responders or other public servants who have ever put their life on the line for those spoiled millionaires... There are better ways to make a statement than to disrespect our country. Go on a ride along with some of those cops you think are so biased, then tell me you think this is the right way to express your complaints...

The buddies I left in SE Asia and I have nothing but disdain for these guys...

 

So.Much.This.

 

I appreciate your service.

But that shouldn't offend you and if it does, its really on you. You should feel pride that you fought for a country where people are allowed to not stand for the anthem.

In fact, this protest has been so effective, it would be amazing if ex service members started a similar protest to get the VA fixed and to ensure 9-11 first responders get all the financial support they need for their medical issues.

Because the most disrespectful thing I can think of is the amount of vets and 9-11 FRs that are dying or suffering, while our politicians let them languish.

 

Profiling leads to more brutality. Just like a match leads to fire. They are permanently intertwined.

You're basically arguing that everyone should just shut up and take it. Bad things happen, and we should never do anything to try and stop those things.

 

Those four players can go **** themselves.

 

WADR, I don't think you understand how protests work. Protesting as an act is not the solution to a given problem. Its about generating awareness of the problem.

 

That's "phony activism" for ya. With social media, there's even more now than ever.

 

As I've already explained to you.....social injustice, racial profiling, police brutality are all intertwined. They are the same problem.

 

I hope they all have career ending injuries next week.

 

Wow, that's a ****ty thing for you to wish. But then again, that's pretty much all you do.

 

F those guys. They suck. Don't respond to me ok. I and the majority of this board don't like you. They did this on the anniversary of 9/11 no less. Again, F them.

 

I'll respond to whom I please. Thanks though. I sincerely hope you hate me.

 

Youre a pretty disturbing character. Go seek help.

I dont see why this bothers anyone, mind your damn business and let them do what they want to do. Its a free country, not North Korea.

I didnt get to see the beginning of the game, did not see what Seattle did, but i feel like they had to explain it fifty thousand times before and after the game about what they did so their message went over everyones head. They tried i guess.

 

The white privilege here is astounding: hey black people, you're protesting wrong. That's not how you protest! Plus, the thing you're protesting isn't even a thing. You think you're experiencing that thing, but you're wrong.

 

Your don't see why it bothers anyone but you're bothered by what I said. Hypocrite much?

 

This, **** those guys. Yall love football more than your country, that's your right as well. And it's my right to have an opinion about that.

As if the Dolphins weren't shameful enough already.

 

GTFO with that white privilege bs.

 

They simply sat down, you wished career ending injuries on them. The fact you don't understand the difference is testament to a lot about you that sucks.

The other thing, you ONLY post about bad stuff.

 

You love a song more than freedom.

 

I now hate Arian Foster slightly less than I did on Saturday
