All the protesting and kneeling has let the country know the reason it is going on and now it is time for the players to do what they are paid for and play football and end the on field kneeling already..

They are playing football. They never stopped playing football. It's time for you to stop whining and post something else already.

The First Amendment guards against government interference with a person's freedom of speech. The Panthers are not the government. They are an employer. It is settled law that employers can restrict speech, political and otherwise, in the workplace.

Clearly, Reid DOES NOT understand his rights. It appears as though the Panthers are going to allow him to kneel. That is the Panther's right. However, unless their is contractual agreement to the contrary, the Panthers could likewise choose to restrict his ability to kneel if they so chose.

The way I see it, what kind of country would we live in if we were forced to stand?

I don't have to agree or support it, but when we force our values on others and use authority and power to do it, we become worse than the protestor.  That seems to be Rivera's perspective.

This is the problem because nobody is forced to do anything. You and you alone make that choice to do it.

Just like north Korea. No one is there propping them up making them stand. They just have to understand that if they don't stand there will be consequences. They have freedom to choose to stand and go along with the compulsory and coerced patriotism or face consequences.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
