Attention!

Here’s how this went down.

Marine Corps vet here. I would have kneeled, too. It kills me that people think blind allegiance to all encompassing symbols is the measure of “patriotism” (whatever the fuck that is). I served so that people COULD protest injustice in the most public way available to them. The debate, and better understanding,…

Then we can finally get all the 240lb white guys who played line in high school in 1988 a shot, if they haven’t all left for the sweet mining jobs, what with Trump’s coal industry Boom being on and all

I’m a Navy veteran. I respect Villanueva’s decision like I respect everyone’s decision to kneel but fuck I know now people are gonna look at what Villanueva did and say “See this/what the troops/vets think of this!” And paint us with a broad brush.

No need to personally attack someone who didn’t catch the gist of your vague statement.

I did slow my roll. I was going to call you something worse.

I don’t recall anyone in this thread saying it was disrespectful for fans to stand.

There’s likely a bit of both. Personally? Come join the party brah. We have rainbows and cake and hugs and also cake.

I think I just found a fun new game. Find the people in the crowd who stand disrespectfully during the anthem.

I haven’t seen too many white players kneeling, and wonder what the discussion is in the various locker rooms. (I know it depends on the team, but it had to be something they talked about.)

Looks like LaVar Ball’s belt will be getting some use tonight

I too have a retired racer! He was terrible at racing, but great at being my dog.

Here’s another stat to remember. Only about 5% of gun owners belong to the NRA. Because the NRA is a fucking evil institution that represents fucking irresponsible assholes and not responsible gun owners.

Thompson, a political activist of some renown in the California capital, hit the then-lame-duck mayor in the face with a coconut cream pie

Don’t do the pie if you can’t do the time.

I know you Trumpettes love fake facts, but Trump lose the popular vote, so...less than half.

“more than half of us”

Even though this is a great accomplishment for his son, Joe Paterno has remained strangely quiet about it.

Well that settles it....I’m not a Big Baller.
