Wouldn't it be more prudent to just donate the fine money each week and stay in the locker room? Probably get much more publicity. I have never argued their right to kneel but they should be more prudent about their fight now.

He would get a whole lot more pub if he came out and said he was donating the amount of whatever the fine is every week and just stay in the locker room. You know there would be camera's on him as he came out after the anthem. Still make your point.

Yeah, they get so much publicity that a number of players are doing exactly that and you didn't even know it. In fact, one player donated every single game check last year.

I take it back. Its a terrible idea. I'm guessing that the suggestion was more of a suggestion that these guys don't put their money where their knees are. @truthbedamned don't be that guy please.

And you would be wrong. I was not aware others were donating their game checks. Pardon me for having an idea.

1. It’s not against NFL rules to kneel so there is not fine

2. Colin and other have donated millions for the cause. Look it up. Athletes put their money where the mouth is all the time

3. Even though they donate and help out off the field they kneel to bring awareness to the situation because it’s the largest audience they can get in front of.

I just read the NFL suspended the fine idea which I agree with. My bad for not looking into it deeper.

You've said that you are an independent.

Well in truth I am but I am a registered Republican now because of Ca primaries. I am way to liberal on social issues to be a real conservative. My beliefs pretty much mirror Monster. He just has a knack of speaking that I can't do. Props to him.

Well you did run away when I asked you to define what a conservative is...

I never ran anywhere. Tried to talk to you about it numerous times in Discord. You didn't seem interested so I let it go.

You all talk a big game, but curious what any of you have actually done to support the cause. Do you donate money? Do you March with protesters? Do you mentor less fortunate kids? Many of you seem to be very passionate about this issue, so I assume your more then just talk.

I don't believe in protesting myself, but I do give and mentor in a local school...3rd and 4th graders. Thanks for asking...

lol, I see what you did there. You took the the moniker I chose for myself and turned it around into an insult. Very clever by you.

I’m glad you noticed. What can I say, I am clever. Feel free to compliment me some more.
