  1. I'd join her. I'm down for the cause. Besides, she'll get up as soon as the anthem is over. Oh nevermind, they don't play the national anthem before every meal at restaurants. This is a false equivalent. The reason why they are kneeling is because they're famous and it will definitely attract attention. As I stated before, had the NFL just left this alone or just had a better relationship with the players, this would have died out. The teams kowtowing to the president gives the players all the more reason to keep kneeling because that idiot has dog whistled them. I never said you have to like it; but the point of a protest is to inconvenience the people who can make a change.
  2. Ok Mr Farrakhan is an anti Semite. Ms Jeong was joking about living in a system that minimizes the accomplishments and opportunities of people of color and women. Robert Byrd would be a republican by today's standards. [Hidden Content] Per Mirriam Webster Definition of racism 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b : a political or social system founded on racism 3: racial prejudice or discrimination If we were to examine the foundation of this great nation you will see that part 2 of fits us to a tee. We still have not addressed these issues. Why the so called alt right is so Angy I have no idea. The country is still structured to support and nurture them. They're idiots. No one is taking their rights away. However they have the right to express their dumbass ideas as long as they do not harm anyone. They haven't proven they can do that yet. [Hidden Content]
  3. The Chron is picking Port Arthur to win. I think most on this site believe that to be the case. I do to but I don't think the Titans sweep. [Hidden Content] Thoughts?
  4. It's to bring attention to police brutality toward the black community. Kap never really said he wouldn't kneel if he was signed but he has brought attention to the subject and has poured millions into the cause. It would have died down had the owners not kowtowed to the celebrity in chief. His words make this an easy way to shoot him the finger on national TV. If the owners and players were truly partners this wouldn't be an issue. You don't see this in the NBA. This is the NFL fault for bungling this by being heavy handed with the talent.
  5. Forcing people to stand for the anthem is the anthisis of what the country is supposed to be based on. Freedom of speech. You don't want to live in a place that forces patriotism. As for honoring the flag. If you have a flag t shirt you are violation the flag etiquette. It is not to be worn as an adornment. If you're not standing when the anthem come on TV well then you aren't very patriotic. The players have a right to kneel and you have the right not to like it. That's how it's supposed to work. But they are not protesting the flag or the troops or whatever the celebrity in chief will say this afternoon. The best thing the NFL can do is go back to the old policy and keep the teams in the locker room until kickoff. Better yet quit playing the anthem period except for the super bowl.
  6. Why would they turn violent? Is the rest of the GOP going to go all in on the so called "alt-right" kick? That's only about 10 to 15 percent of the party. They'll be out in force this weekend making asses of themselves. As the old adage goes, not all Republicans are racist but all racists are Republicans.
  7. He's only opposed to it if you come from the wrong parts of the world. Otherwise it's fine.
  8. We'll see them in a scrimmage in two weeks. Ought to be fun.
  9. I would venture most of the people teaching at the school are locals. No one is moving out there for that low pay. We need to fix school financing so small districts and the children in them don't get left behind. Our future success as a state and country depends on an educated workforce.
  10. Yes that was sad they left but they do fit in the SEC. They paid a lot of money for Jimbo. I hope it works out for them. For what it's worth, outside of Alabama, the big XII is much more exciting and competitive. The SEC bores me to tears.
  11. Your comprehension is bad. The links I pointed you to answered those questions if you took the time to read.
  12. Then your comprehension is bad. See you on the field.
  13. Kevin sumlin was bad at his job. I don't know if Jimbo is the man, but the Aggies have had a hard time since firing R.C. Slocum. AM is a school that should be happy to win 8 or 9 games most years and get lucky every four years with a 10 or 11win season.
  14. I like discussing ideas. Just not with people who's minds are made up and are not bright. This has truly been a a waste of time. I feel dumber by replying to your inane messages. When you point out something that is factual I have no problem agreeing with it. You do not extend the same courtesy. So I'm just going to leave this alone.
  15. Thoughts and prayers! Especially for the people who have to put up with you.
  16. Your words reveal your heart. If you don't think yourself as racist why do you worry about the opinion of people like me? [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] You sure you don't want a souvenir? [Hidden Content] Thoughts and prayers to all of you confused souls.
  17. I've answered this in previous posts. Go look back.
  18. The split in 5A has made for some interesting matches. I think Mid County will be represented but Barbers Hill, Crosby and Santa Fe will be tough outs. Vidor will probably be out due to some convoluted tie breaker. Crosby PNG Barbers Hill Nederland Santa Fe Vidor Dayton Lee Overall very good district. The ride to Santa Fe is going to be long.
  19. I owe you idiots nothing. Do your own research. The season is here so no need to play in the mud for a while.
  20. You are a lost cause. Thoughts and prayers.
  21. Those sound like to personal problems you should work out with a professional therapist. Good luck with that. As you Republicans like to say, thoughts and prayers to you.
  22. That's why we play. Y'all stay healthy. I don't want any excuses!
  23. Here we go again with the circular arguments. I just came by to say you were using my argument strategy. I even read your article, which I found insightful. I'm not going there with you. I've answered this before ad nauseum.
  24. Yuck. I hope we beat y'all. That said our school has cowbell believers too.
