but J Cole went platinum with no features.... why wouldn’t you want to watch him perform?

I hear you 100%. The only thing I can say is that it’s never been a part of the game. People don’t just do that and get autographs is always been kind of a no no. In soccer it happens all the time, it’s a different game and culture.  Usually it works out they get an autograph or selfie and usually are ejected (worth…

Couldn’t agree more. The notion that “he was trespassing, so he had it coming” is the same BS logic law enforcement and many others use to legitimize their egregious violence by dehumanizing the victim. There’s no doubt this fan clearly posed no threat, and he’s certainly facing severe legal ramifications for his…

The person had a flower. There should be no respect given for what Pagan did. In fact most of the time American athletes over react to fans on the field and moron sports casters, writers and other fans egg them on by giving them props for reacting like subhumans on the warpath.

Your parents are going to be so confused.

I guess there are blind spots on these little Carrs.

“the playing of our national anthem is an opportunity for our Men’s and Women’s National Team players and coaches to reflect upon the liberties and freedom we all appreciate in this country.”

You know I am getting real sick of people freaking the funk out over people silently and respectfully protesting during the national anthem. They are not screaming at the top of their lungs “Kill the pigs!” or “America is racist!” during the national anthem. They silently take a knee as a form of protest to protest…

See look you can make everyone happy.

No. But generations of tolerating (even justifying) violence against gays - even committed by police or other authorities - may be more similar.

This isn’t your best work.

6/10. Not bad. A few should bite I think.

“In front of national and global audiences, we expect that you stand and honor our flag while the National Anthem is played and so the rest of the world continues to believe there are no problems in our country, there is equal opportunity for everyone, and the streets are paved with gold.”

YOU ARE SO CLOSE!!!!!!

Shut the fuck up U.S. Soccer

This will be an interesting dynamic no matter what your feeling on this her stance (heh) is. Unlike Kaepernick she has everything to lose by doing this and she is doing it during National team competitions. I know I’m on record of bashing Kaep however I think this (his) kneeling trend is much more respectful and as…

“our players and coaches will stand and honor our flag”

Agreed. The later is much more powerful.

Jesus, that’s not even close to the point.

Is it weird that without context, I consider kneeling a greater statement of respect and loyalty? You would kneel to show loyalty/respect to a King/Queen, the Pope, a Mob boss or of course Zod.
