How do you respond?

As an Airline Captain I couldn’t get on the PA and give my political views without getting in deep trouble. What I did when I was not in uniform was my own business unless I started committing felonies. People don’t ride on airplanes to hear the captains political view whether left or right. Why do these under educated rich clowns think people want to have their political views shoved in their face when watching a sporting event. I won’t ever watch an nba, mlb, etc until they figure out no one cares what they think.

Apparently you care what they think since you supposedly quit watching

Was this right after your discussion about how the shape and color of women’s nipples can enhance your evening activities and how the research into this later in his life will be a most fulfilling time?

Is this a seminar one can sign up for?

This. In my previous state job, you could be fired for using state time and uniform to perform political activities.

Just so I understand this correctly, you guys are saying that you want to enjoy sports related entertainment, but some dickfaces keep ruining your time with political talk that you don't agree with and you really wish you could just enjoy the entertainment without having to hear blowhards expouse their views over and over again?

Is that really what I just fücking read on the aggie football board? You filthy cocksuckers?

Nothing more American than peaceful protest. That's what I told my son.

That’s great and you are correct. What did you tell him about rioting

 

[travster23]

My son is 10. He loves baseball. Astros are his favorite team and our escape from everything going on is watching the Astros. 3 uncles served in the Army. Two are Ags, one isn’t. One shed blood for the flag in Iraq but is OK. The other two were in action but made it through. Deployments were tough for everyone and had to band together for emotional support for cousins whose dads were gone.

We Watched opening day and he saw three of his favorite players kneel during the anthem and then tonight the Astros walked off the field.


tonight: “Dad, it really hurts me to see anyone kneel during the anthem, especially my favorite players. Why can’t they just play for the love of the game ? I don’t know what to think anymore because they are my favorite players but if I root for them am I disrespecting the sacrifices uncle X, x, and x made?”

How the heck do you respond to a 10 year old with that question? All this really just sucks all the way around.

It must be really hard to tell children the truth. Sorry.

I have been as big an Astro fan as anyone who knows me since 64. They have a right to show their feelings and I have a right to never support them in a game again. . This feigned protest needs to stop. This socialist driven drivel will be the end of all major league sports. Maybe that isn’t a bad thing, when you look at it objectively.

Why do you think it’s feigned? Just bc you don’t agree?

Why do you think it’s feigned? Just bc you don’t agree?

Do you just ask asinine questions for a living? What exactly do you stand for?

 

[oldag1980]

That they are doing what they think is right, even if you dont agree with it. They have a right to do that as Americans and that they are not disrespecting those that served even if some people interpret it that way

If you can't stand for them how are we to kneel for you?
