Ever taken a look at US Flag Code Chapter 10.176
§176. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

I'm pleased we have a few people left in America who know how to read the Constitution, just sad one of them isn't in the White House.

Perhaps the one who can't should get a personal lifetime ban from the NFL, NHL, NBA, Baseball and NCAA. After all, bans are a favorite tactic of that one.

The athletes imposing their political and social views. Be it Anti Racism, Pro KKK, et al on the playing field. Are cutting their own throats.


One could then conversely argue that politics are being imposed on the athletes by forcing them to stand for the national anthem and that it is an imposition of the "real world" into the sporting event. They are the ones resisting this imposition as you are wanting the management to do.

(I'm also at a loss why it's considered "disrespectful" or some such. Silent kneeling? In a religious service this is a respectful act of veneration. If they wanted to be disrespectful without ambiguity they could always moon the audience... no argument there. :^p )

Edit: Seen all this before with the daily Pledge recitals by schoolchildren... it's merely a test to see which nails stand up so that they can be hammered into place.

Impose on you political or social views you find abhorrent.

Is stating one's view imposing? That's a rather Orwellian view point IMO.
Edit: Clyde your posts imply you advocate thought control, your true colors are showing.

PC is finally destroying the National Political Power of The Left in the USA. Fun to watch their suicide.
Which will eventually lead to a "lovely" new program - Strength through Joy. :-)

Apparently you have never really read, or perhaps misunderstood my many posts regarding The Radical Left and The Radical Right. Not Liberal or Conservative.

I have posted many times that the Necessary Reaction to One Evil, may result in Another Evil. And the resulting Evil must also be destroyed.

Please explain what is apparently your belief. That attacking a Stalin means one supports a Hitler.
HOW do you come to that conclusion?
I hold both with disgust. As I hold both The Radical Left and The Radical Right in disgust.
YET, you have never stated just who will replace them

Hopefully, for the future of humanity. You agree with me.
Not until you answer questions that are raised by your "????" posts.

Meanwhile, back on topic.

Some post have disappeared.

Lets try an be sensible I know it is hard. As all some posters seem to want to do is expose what they believe are flaws in others character.

Do that and post will be hidden. Prove the persons view point is wrong, try not to attack the person you actually know nothing about

Also it is quite difficult for a poster to be off topic in their own thread, if they are happy with the direction the thread is taking.

Very often "points of view" taken at the time of the "incident" are often seen much differently later.
People may say they disagree with the NFL players stance on racial discrimination now but what will the opinion be in 20 years.

Take a look back at the last 50 years of US history and see what the US public's "point of view" about things as they happened and what the US public's "points of view" is now.
1963 the March on Washington, MLK “I Have a Dream” speech.
1969 March against the Vietnam war
1993 LGBT march against discrimination and seeking more funding for AIDS research
2003 January, Protests against the Iraq war

In all of the above the US public "point of view" at the time was against the event but now most of the people the "point of view" is 100% opposite.

Agree, but not to the point.

Sport athletes making political or social points during a sporting event, which we agree with, is no different. Include views you or I believe are either incorrect or abhorrent. It 'works' both ways in a non PC World.

Off the field, is an important difference.

Then Politics should butt out when sports events go to places the politicians don't like. And that's not going to happen, so sports and politics are entwined whether you like it or not.
Lets not forget that Kaepernick's action was about racism and equality not politics.

“I’m talking about the comments that were made by the president, targeting the NFL, targeting the quality and character of guys in this league for that very protest,” Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith told reporters after the Chiefs game, zeroing in, lest he be misunderstood. “I found that very alarming. It’s the same guy who wouldn’t condemn violent neo-Nazis. And he’s condemning guys taking a knee during the anthem.”

"National Football League (NFL) player Colin Kaepernick first sat down during the anthem in preseason in 2016."I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour," he said."

Didn't they fight long & hard for desegregation & not to be called coloured person but Black?

So what do they do? Call others coloured people.
