Perhaps you should ask yourself, who is this 'us' to which you're referring.
What's dividing this country are people who want blacks to stay silent while racism still goes on. The flag means more than just patriotism but some like to believe that's all it stand for. Land of the free, home of the brave right? We will alway be the Divided States of America until we all stand up to racism and bigotry from both black and whites. We need to come together as people and as god's children and knock of the BS.
Please elaborare on what the news network "stands for" Im not familar with the network
Yeah, no. Quite a few of us realize that we've been divided since this country was founded and are trying to rectify that. Others prefer the divide and the privilege it has afforded them.
What matters is opportunity. Everyone has an opportunity for success Unfortunately too many people squander it and when they do they demand privilege. All people should be accountable.
Wrong. The fabric of the country has always been tenuous.
The flag and the anthem are symbols. If they symbolize a lie, an empty promise, why should they be respected? Patriotism, real patriotism not just knowing the lyrics to Toby Keith songs, means holding your country responsible for its promises, making it live up to its ideals. Otherwise you're just and ignorant fan boy, wallowing in a delusion of superiority.
Who are you to put a value on them as human beings? You are saying the value they have is only equivalent to what they currently receive...even thought the free market would say otherwise. So, my assumption then is that you don't believe in capitalism? If so, then I am completely fine with your argument.
And that's great that you paid for your college, but why then resent others that don't have to? How do you know they don't appreciate the opportunity they are getting? I appreciate that I have a job but if I'm doing more work than I am being compensated for then I will ask for more money. Pretty simple.
And I am completely OK with being a person who you deem to be "the problem"
I hear what you’re saying but please don’t confuse conservative and racist. They aren’t synonymous
The need to sell your program as getting kids ready for the NFL is what killed option football. The Wishbone or Power I didn't ever stop working, but schools were able to point out how those guys were not ready for NFL. Which was true. But if winning championships is really what it was all about, then those offenses would still be around at bigger schools.
Those two being the two options blow my mind....but if you go back to 4 years ago it was Trump and Hillary.....and if you went to second place it would have been Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. Its crazy when you look at how what people look for in a president has completely shifted.
People will be so sports hungry by the time the NFL gets here, I am pretty sure that everyone could kneel....and no one is going to turn it off. I would be the NFL has the best TV ratings of all time this year.
I find it funny that Mitt Romney was to middle of the rode for everyone when he actually ran for president. But then was the guy Republicans were begging to run when Trump picked up steam. The problem for both parties....moderate doesn't win in the primaries, or if they do such as the case of Biden....the have to move to much less moderate positions. I think you absolutely could form a 3rd party made up of moderate Dems and Repubs....the problem is in the short term they all are committing political suicide while getting everything formed. All their funding from the parties would dry up.
Disagree, they already had a drop when Kaepenick started this. We saw the drop in ratings and attendance. College football even had a drop in attendance. Now they are planning to do protesting on steroids. Also, we have not even mentioned CTE yet.
One could argue the same thing for the other way around. Without athletics, many of these guys wouldn’t even get into UGA. Sure the university profits off the players but they also benefit by having an avenue to showcase their skills. Without that avenue, what would most of them be doing? I just don’t understand why only one side can be offended. Mike Gundy can’t be offended by a thing his star RB does. However, he can wear a news shirt and the RB can be offended. It makes no sense at all. Like many people, I don’t even know what that news cast is and could are less. If Gundy wants to watch that on his own time, good for him. If the RB doesn’t like it, ignore it and move on. That is what we have always done before. What has changed is the media is influencing people to rebel, question, protest, be offended, etc.
And if his players don't like his message about what is important in his life and it is important to them to say so, they can go for it?
