RE: Trump Says NFL Should Suspend Marshawn Lynch
It is always amazing for people to talk about rights then turn around and want to limit the rights of others. Lynch and the other NFL players are simply exercising their right to protest...I believe that comes under freedom of speech.
Trump not anyone else is under obligation to agree with their point of view. However, we all should applaud their right to protest and make their voice heard.
Exactly!
The NFL protests have NOTHING to do with the First Amendment OR freedom of speech. The players have no right to protest when they're on the job and in uniform. (Try that with your boss and see how long it takes to get your ass thrown out onto the street.)
Actually it does when it is coming from the President of the United States since you are saying it is a workplace/employer issue.
The President of the US does not interact with companies over who should be suspended or fired. The NFL is a private business of which the President has no control over.
The NFL only recently decided that players needed to go stand outside during the playing of the anthem as part of a paid "patriotism" push. Symbolic patriotism is not part of the job of a football player. Could the NFL, as an employer, theoretically compel standing as part of the "performance" aspect of football? Probably, but they are not likely to do so which still leaves open the question of what business does Trump have interfering with private employment?
Fuck all these Liberals. I live in Central America and if anybody wants to protest the anthem they better have not their grandmother alive because she is going to be fucked.
Don't be such loosers and realize that there needs to be discipline and order in every society.
And common sense
They dont understand what America is. I remember the flag burning under Bush. He HATED it but said its thier right. Why can't Trump take a simple course on our laws?
Why can't Trump.....
There are 10,000 phrases that could follow up that start... LOL
I recall that situation with Bush and defended him for saying that...it was their right to express themselves in that manner.
When you start eliminating that or threatening people with loss of income or even jailing, then you are moving towards a tyrannical state.
