    People are offended by racial injustice, ok I get it. Its actually more social injustice in my opinion although I won't argue racism exists. It does, both ways! But people of certain social classes are discriminated against regardless of skin color all the same.

    If people are offended by Trumps comments, ok, I hear you.

    But you have to understand people are also offended by them kneeling for the national anthem. Especially those that lost loved ones to war.

    No more double standards and no more bullshit excuses to support and justify double standards! Everyone in America is entitled to their right to free speech, and people are entitled to respond to that right however they wish.

    I saw something on Facebook earlier that I will try to restate.

    They players and the NFL say they are protesting because of unity. The one thing in this country that is unifying for everyone is the flag and our anthem. Its not sports, not politics, not churches. It's the one symbol that shows we are all Americans. And that is what they are disrespecting. They are not unifying with the protests - they are causing division - the exact thing they say they are protesting against. And they are too ignorant to see it

    I made no mention of trumps words...only the fact that you don't seem to get what the flag is.

    I agree it's hurting more than helping with the division of this country.

    I agree wholeheartedly with both, however, calling them SOBs was a bad move. Gotta be a better leader than that.

    Yes. Bad move indeed. He has to set the example and refrain from stooping to name calling.

    No I didn't...I don't care if you have an opinion different than mine in fact I think that it is necessary to have differing opinions. But certain symbols of country should be off limits. Would you be ok if someone went up and took a shit on Lincoln's statue?

    He didn't waive the right to an opinion when he became president....but I must say, I wish Trump had someone like Herman Edwards standing over him screaming 'Don't press 'send'!!"
