    The people the protesters are trying to reach are not you and me. It's too late for us, we'll never change our views. This is to move the conscience of younger Americans who are still forming their opinions. Our concerns and suggestions are, frankly, irrelevant. We've had our time.
    It was with CK. I'm not convinced it is now.

      They did.

      And IIRC, the NBA has a rule where the players/etc have to stand for the anthem. Where's the outrage about them being forced to stand?

                    He is. Wentz literally plays in one of the easiest most conservative QB schemes and still sucks at not throwing interceptable passes.

                    Wentz still threw 31 interceptable passes last year. 5.11 percent of his attempts were interceptable. 25 quarterbacks in the league were better at taking care of the ball. Not one of the seven who ranked below him threw the ball short as often as him. Four had an Average Depth of Target in the top six in the league, all seven ranked in the top 20 whereas Wentz ranked 27th. None of the quarterbacks who ranked below Wentz in interceptable passes played in an offense that prioritized taking care of the ball.

                      Does anyone here regularly watch the NBA?

                        Probably not here. But in general, quite a few do watch. All I hear is crickets from that crowd.

                          What crowd?

                          The focus has mostly been on the NFL because Trump started poutraging and calling out those players specifically.

                            General social media. Many have been very vocally against forcing the players to stand for the anthem. Well, why aren't they yelling about the NBA, also?

                            FTR, I think you *should* stand for the anthem, but I am against *forcing* you to. I will support your right to *not* stand for the anthem.

                                I have no idea, actually. That's not the point, though.

                                They have the rule. The rule is the issue right now (although it really shouldn't be, etc etc it's about the real reason for the kneeling, I know; the general public isn't thinking that way right now, though).
