ALGAYDO 35,083 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 What a bunch of snowflakes. They can’t handle people protesting for their rights?!

skaxboy 6,908 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Although I have never been to any NFL game, I have been to many MLB games a a few NHL games. The games I have been to there have been plenty of empty seats during the National Anthem because people are in line to buy drinks and food. Isnt that way more disrespectful than a player kneeling during the national anthem? It’s kinda the same as a player staying in the locker room so why aren’t these “patriots” complaining about them?!?

SolidSnake 2,804 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Since we got centrists on GGD who are all about compromise, here is one for you. Stop playing the national anthem all together at sporting events. It serves no purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they're protesting at work. The company has every right to tell their employees what to do. A business is not going to let a few employees ruin their business because of something a few employees want to do. If the employee feels that strongly about it, why not quit or find a different job? It's their choice to stay and deal with the rules in place or not. They signed the contract. They committed to the job, so they either have to do as what their boss says or they can find someone else to do the job.

They cant make good money anywhere else not until the XFL arrives in 2020 and they will likely be following the same rule. and I would love for you to travel back in time and tell coalminers who were forced to work for scrip that they could just leave and find another job rather than organizing and protesting their bosses. Your attitude is and I'm sorry for saying this just plain and simple ignorance. This is an attitude that has allowed workers to be oppressed and stomped on for ages. I have no ill-will towards you but I implore you to read history about this stuff and change your perspective on the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not changing my perspective on the world anytime soon just because you don't like it buddy. Not everyone is going to think like you, weren't you taught that at a young age? I don't know why you're bringing up the past when we're talking about something happening NOW. In this discussion the past is completely irrelevant.
