This is so wrong on so many levels.

Just how I feel but it's more about hogging the mic than it is about his position/status.

It's not an absolute, for me, either. I just think he would have been better off quietly funding a movement or supporting a group that needed the media outlet and voice. I fully support him, at the end of the day, and anyone else, I just think he should have taken a back-seat after he made his opinion clear.

I mean, it's a terribly complicated situation and I don't think him becoming a millionaire means he can't speak on inequality, but the fact of the matter is that he was raised privileged, has not experienced intense poverty and doesn't fully understand the actual plight of his people, or any other oppressed people, just as I don't know what it's like to wake up in a tiny Chinese village and work from sun-up to sun-down.

He' speaking out and protesting but he's beat around the bush instead of being candid.

the flag is about this country , one nation


it's not about an athletes right to protest



do your unity crap before the anthem and once the anthem starts respect the flag


it's that simple



no athlete is above the flag

I think someone of you are missing the point they are protesting because they don't get the same freedom as white people why should you stand for a flag when you don't get the same rights ..

And some are protesting for freedom of speech

the better arguement might be that the flag was created by people who stood up and fought against those that were oppressing them.. if slavery had something to do about it they would have knelled during both antehms in europe and not just the USA..
- IndianaSabresFan

Well, Europe's slavery was never 100% about dehumanizing a person for the color of their skin, and it wasn't chattel slavery. They also abolished it much earlier than America.

But I get your point. I just think the flag is tainted to begin with because it represents an institution that does nothing but oppress all of us.

Im scared that Gerbe gets it and so many don't understand that simple point

on the mcCabe thing a few pages back.. i thought i saw he was week to week and his ability to start the season next week was in question
- IndianaSabresFan

BN reported that Housley "did seem to think McCabe would be ready for the season opener"

I think it was from yesterday so perhaps news came out in the meantime. It's upper body so I wonder if it's that same shoulder acting up or soreness from a hit.

The flag should represent what we want this country to be TODAY. Not celebrate what it was 200 years ago.

The entire point of the protest was to demonstrate the issues with this county present day.

We could have countless arguments about the flaws of how this country came to be.

The problem is, how the country came to be wasn't what was flawed, what the country has BECOME is what's flawed and our flag represents that, not just to us, but the rest of the world.

I mean, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are some of the most important documents in human history and they have not been adhered to by the very country that wrote them up.

I really want to make this my location

Anyone get the new NHL 18 game yet???

How is it? The new skate and defensive stick that well done? The 3s campaign is what REALLLLY spiked my interest. I know a lot of folks like the expansion to 32 option.


EA spelling it SABERS instead of SABRES in the game is just heartbreaking thou... my gawd... how did they not catch that.

That flag was built on genocide and slavery.
- BeadyEyedDouche

the players had no problem standing and acting normal for England's anthem

they had slaves til 1833


try again

If you think they sacrificed for this, you are dead wrong

If anyone feels that, they should leave the country IMO

because of stupid poop like this and gerbe's relentless fighting about stupid crap that most of the time doesn't matter i don't come here much anymore. too bad i enjoyed discussing hockey here before but this is just a crap shoot of arguing and piss matches
- IndianaSabresFan

Wait until the season starts. It's always about inane poop here in the summer, one year we spent over a week on cutting down a tree. It's just how it is. We'll talk a lot more about hockey when there's actually hockey to talk about.

They probably patched it.

Yeah well, no. Read the constitution. If you don't understand that something is broken, please re-read the constitution.

what's broken?

A cop tells a black man to stop
Black man fires on cop, runs and then gets gunned down


what's broken is PEOPLE not respecting each other

I think the bigger concern is the way too many times that this doesnt happen but the rest does...
