To go on the topic, JR rarely speaks out on anything or gives his opinion, which is perfectly fine. He has every right to not publicize his opinion for the masses.

He hates drama and bringing that to the Carolinas. Of course he won’t be speaking out.

 

Especially last year of the undercover African American cop killed an Aftican American in Charlotte. It is like everyone has to make it about two sides that everything is black and white crystal clear. Having money does not make one smart nor moral and certainly does not mean that their opinion is worth more nor should be placed on the public alter of outrage.

Well JR WASNT one of the 6 owners that gave money to trumps campaign. But trump is going up and going to make the NFL and NBA unite more behind this than ever.

You will definitely see more players make some type of stand in the coming weeks and more power to them.

players making a stand changes fuging nothing

players get paid millions to be distractions for the masses so the ones in power can move without interruption, get with the program

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

players get paid millions so people are more focused on millionaire athletes than real fuging issues

Take this crap to the tinderbox. i could care less about what that mental midget trump does or says. 

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

Let Trump actually take physical action before getting your panties in a bunch for God sakes, he says something you don't like and all hell breaks loose. Trump, do something that is actually worth getting these lib-tards panties in a bunch besides harmless words

I respect JR for doing this. If you want to make a political statement do it on your own time. Disrespecting my flag is not going to help your cause. Trump is right those players should not be on the field and should be punished for disrespecting our country. If the owners don't like his statement maybe they should do away with the American flag and national anthem all together. That should solve the matter. 

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

Wonder if owners would stand up for players if players didn't like Obama

No.

Players that would have voiced negative comments on Obama would be seen in a negative light by media

Doesn't the 1st amendment guarantee free speech without fear of attack or retribution by the government? Now you have the president trying to get those that are peacefully voicing their opinion fired. Doesn't sit right with me. And I thought republicans liked small government...

It might not but I have no problem with people exercising their amendment right.  Its funny that people that say others are sensitive about words are the same ones that are sensitive as fug about people exercising their right to not stand for the flag.

The same people that hated on The Golden Calf of Bristol for kneeling are applauding these people for kneeling.

Hating on JR for not releasing a statement is short-sighted and ignorant. If you care that much about how he feels then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

Amin God is wrong but disrespecting our flag is right. What twisted world we live in.

That only works if Trump actually did a physical action on the topic. (i.e. passed an actual law, act, or pressured Congress to do such.) He just voiced his own opinion on the matter, which is not the equivalent of a law/act government is enforcing.

Reminder of what the first amendment says:

Quote

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
