I disagree with microbet that this is a good thing, I thought equality was the point. But it's a very real part of staging protests.

I understand that this is a thing, I just don't think that's what keeping the vast majority of the white players from kneeling also.

As far as the football demonstrations go, if white football players can't get beyond the 'All Lives Matter' stage and genuinely relate to and support black players that's pretty damn damning, because we're all hoping that exposure and comradere lessens racial division and a football team should be a pretty ideal environment for that.

I wouldn't be too hard on the arm lockers in either case. People respond to peer pressure a lot. Perhaps in the later games more white players will find the courage.

Optimistically we are several design generations away from self sustaining industrial reactors. Obviously once it happens the world massively changes, and we should be devoting trillions to make it happen imo. Personally, I'm hopeful for fusion in my lifetime, but it's not a guaranteed.

Gonna be an empty field.

You mean it won't go over well with racist trash and Trump voters. The rest of us don't mind or support it.

At least I can see a reason for having this patriot bull**** of a National Anthem before every sporting game.

Trump is such an idiot. The Seahawks were one of the first teams to do the lock arms thing. I wouldn't be surprised if that was their plan for the day until that moron opened his mouth yet again.

Trump's focus on ratings and fame as a criterion for everything else sounds like something you'd expect out of some gross out of touch Hollywood type in some movie or scumbag talent manager, not from the the office of the President. It's almost inhuman at this point.

Bmol has been in the "cite or ban" area for about two years now, no idea how he's stuck around so long.

Obama more racist than guys who owned slaves is a good take though.

Being booed doesn’t have to relate to the anthem at all. White people can still boo the opposing team can’t they?

That's bizarre because I've never posted on this part of the forum before last fall. I'm not sure why we are griping about presidents who owned slaves 300 years ago when it was considered the norm. This is more media BS. Let's rag on dead guys who owned slaves when everyone owned slaves as if they should be blamed for not deviating from what the entire population did during the time they were alive
