The National Anthem is a dog whistle.
Sweet Caroline is a dog whistle too, for that matter......
Gravitas. Double Down.

Iowa State on the Field for the National Anthem?
- Thread starter WIB
- Start date
We almost surely will just stick to the status quo of not being on the field for the anthem but I wouldn't have a problem with something along these lines. Not sold on the racial pattern but a sign of unity wouldn't be terrible. Seriously doubt we see it though.
if a team thought he was good enough to help them win he most certainly would be on a team. wife abusers, rapists, murderers, kneel for the flag, doesnt matter. If tom brady and aaron rodgers thought he was actually that good, they would tell their team to sign him and they would. They know he isnt any better than anyone in the league especially considering the fact that current back up qb's on the team already know the offense. Once a qb is out of the league, they arent coming back for the most part. Ill take the opinion of football staffs that get paid to evaluate players for a living over some guy on the internet that recites stats.
are you talking about white people and black people every other? if you are, you should delete your account because that is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. Sounds like something that would happen on "the office" or something
The easy answer to this is to do what the cowboys did. kneel before the anthem together to protest whatever it means this week and then stand for the anthem to show that you respect the country you are given the opportunity to live in. Win/Win.
Cheesy as **** but more and more I feel like can't-we-all-just-get-along. **** that was cheesy as **** too, I'll delete my account now.
I personally don't care if someone kneels, sits, stands, salutes, or pretty much any other action during the national anthem. I don't care if teams are out or not, but I don't watch sports to get into political debates. I want to watch sports for the entertainment they provide without being forced to listen to an individual (announcers, fans, etc.) give their view point on whatever they think the protest is about.
Congrats on being better than a few awful QBs on bad franchises. When he played for less than great offensive minds, he was awful and when he was with Harbaugh, he couldn't run the offense and he couldn't go through progressions. Coaches can see that. GMs can see that. Explain why Seattle brought him in and then didn't sign him. They probably have the most progressive, outspoken roster and coach in the league in these matters.
People are people. We are the World. Why should it be that you and I should get along so awfully? We are the Children. We all know that people are the same where ever you go.

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving.

That is not systematic by the way. The internet is a different animal.
i get that, but the protest isnt black vs white as many people try to make it, its supposed to be something about cops (black white asian etc) being violent towards black people. And even though cops have shot more white people than black people this year (and every year Im guessing) its disproportionate to the overall population. However the way I look at it, african americans make up approximately 24% of those shot by police and 28% of those arrested while whites make up 42% of arrests and 49% of those shot so the numbers seem pretty close when comparing actual run ins with the law but anyway. Not a black vs. white thing its a anti violence towards blacks by police.Cheesy as **** but more and more I feel like can't-we-all-just-get-along. **** that was cheesy as **** too, I'll delete my account now.
68% of arrests are white, 49% of those shot are white, 28% of arrests are black 24% of those shot are black. African americans committ the majority of murders robbery etc even though the make up much smaller portion of the population. Media coverage will train you to think the numbers are much different.

What the flag and anthem means to eac
they've shown that marijuana use is essentially equal in black and whites but blacks get arrested for it at much higher rates. It is a sick myth that blacks are more criminal. And the all cause mortality takes in a lot more than crime. There are numerous studies out that if a black and a white get charged for the EXACT same crime the black person is much more likely to do time for it.
I have actually avoided listening to a lot of all this, so I don't actually know, but have they declared that as the protest? I'm genuinely wondering. I always just kind of assumed it was, not a black v white thing, but a blacks are generally mistreated throughout society thing. That's how I'd protest it if it were me anyway.
it was the protest, now i think this week they are doing it to protest trump but some athletes are mad because its supposed to be about inequality and these new guys stole it to protest trump and its a whole mess
Can you provide links for this? Everthing I have ever read would indicate this is incorrect. Thanks!
So like when the emo's hijacked the goth vibe, and then vampire kids hijacked them both? Got it.
