Kaepernick sits during national anthem, and 49ers defend him

[Blarg]

I missed the opening ceremony for last night's 49ers game. Was everyone standing for the national anthem?

Whenever someone says the term, "Rich, spoiled athlete." what I really hear is, "Boy, you should know your place."

 

Apparently we need to create a safe space forum for you

Because that is only said about black players?

Ridiculous.

this is just another tactic that is used to shut down debate.

Seriously, when was the last time it was said about a white athlete protesting something? 

[mtangelsfan]

Contract talks?  Collective bargaining disputes?

Seems like a lot of people are anti-rich guy

Yeah, but that doesn't count because muh SJW reasons.

But those saying the argument is invalid by using a literal ad hominem, ie "Spoiled and rich athlete", isn't?

It was said about the Stanford Rape Swimmer.

Of course it is.  That wasn't Rico's argument though.

[nate]

What was he protesting?

[Spirit]

Curt Schilling says, "hi!"

That isn't what Rico stated.  His statement was much broader and that is what we were responding to

No but when someone gives a lame argument such as "spoiled rich athlete" is often seems to be used a proxy for a different argument. Not always for racism as Rico implied but when the subject is a black athlete I don't suspect the percentage of it actually being the case being a trivial number either.

I think Nate was asking what the Stanford rapist was protesting in response to Stradling.

[Spirit]

Josh Hamilton says, "hey!"

Yeah.

Other than going to jail of course.

I was referencing to Ted Cruz's tweet, but I've also heard other people say the same thing.  It comes off to me as, "Hey black athletes, shut up!"

[Stradling]

Spoiled rich athlete only counts for black people if they are protesting.  I come up with an example of an athlete that was referred to as a spoiled rich athlete that is white and it isn't valid because he wasn't protesting?  That is dumb.  Show me how many white athletes protest and if they are professional more than likely they are rich.

But that was literally Glen's question.  If you want to change the context of the question that is fine but you gotta say something since you are moving the goalposts. It came off as utterly bizarre as Nate pointed out.

Not buying sportswear made in a 3rd world sweatshop would probably honor the flag more that Mr. Cruz has ever done.

Why does literally everything that is said have to be called racist or sexist these days? This world is full of a bunch of little bitches. I don't like Cruz at all but he said nothing racist.
