When billionaire NFL owners are losing money due to players being disrespectful, players causing problems, causing owners to lose money...things will happen as they have. If you kneel during the National Anthem on the Dallas Cowboys your @ss is gone! Jerry Jones made that very clear, this was before the league did anything.
And if you do it on the Jets, the owner will pay your fine.

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
I'm a military veteran and this doesn't bother me one bit. I served this country to help protect every ones rights to live in a free in country. If someone wants to protest any kind of injustice they believe in....I'm all for it. This is how this great nation was first formed, by people protesting a injustice. Now it would be different thing if they turned their backs to the flag during the anthem.
Speaking of the flag.....What really chaps my a$$ are the people who disrespect flag by displaying a flag that is ripped or leaving it out in the rain or at at night without a light on it. I've asked a person to leave my property last week because they had a tattered flag on the back of his pick up.
No doubt, we have certain privileges and rights as citizens, and we owe a great great deal to the ones who fought to preserve it, and especially those who didn't come home, as we remember them this holiday.
But the whole kneeling thing (in my opinion) is just counterproductive. While it did bring some publicity and awareness, I'd say it hurt their cause even more.
Just as a person can choose not to listen to a song on the radio that they don't like, they can choose to change the channel of a sporting event because they don't agree with player protest or find the drama not to their liking.
Someone made the comment that players are entertainers, nothing more. If an actor did something off screen that the producers didn't agree with, guess what, they are no longer on the show. It's happened quite a bit in the last couple years.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Sorry. There is nothing anyone can say that will change my mind about it being out of place and disrespectful. Football use to be escapist entertainment, free from politics. Now there is one less escapist fun TV show to watch. My dvd went from the full 48 programs to record, now down to less than 10. Bring back the big red balls, please. Now it is nothing to me. I don't even watch the home team.
Frequently, and often appropriately, we find these framed by a toilet seat.
The trick is to determine if it's your opinion or one held in opposition to you...
It's been both at various times. Nadie es perfecto.

My gut feeling he is going to wait until 3 or 4 days before the elections and spring something. It will be too close and too late to get on top of it and disprove it. They are not nice or honorable people,

mueller has just said that the "core" findings will be released after the elections.
I'm pretty sure that he called her ****'s face; in which case what's the deal?

So you can't post the word "****" on this forum?

Once again Trump has baffled the politicos and the press by following through on a campaign promise. He's said for years that we should not get into Syria, and that we should get out of Afghanistan. We should stop building the infrastructure for other countries while we crumble at home.
Now he's actually doing it.
Unheard of!
I'm going to miss Mattis, though. But, the thing is, a military man always promotes the military options and, surprisingly like Trump apparently, I don't think that's always our best option.
No matter what our intentions in the region Afghans certainly, and probably the Syrians as well, will never see us as anything but invaders. Just as the Vietnamese saw us, and the French Imperialists who went before us in that debacle.
Could it be that there's someone in our government who actually learned the lesson of Vietnam? I guess we'll see.

The trump coup is a contract bridgecoup used when the hand on lead (typically the dummy) has no trumps remaining, while the next hand in rotation has only trumps, including a high one that would have been onside for a direct finesse if a trump could have been led. The play involves forcing that hand to ruff, only to be overruffed. A similar motive is met in coup en passant, where indirect finesse is used instead of direct.

MOW badge received.
It seems the biggest surprise would be if any of them actually had honor and integrity.
