Your question clearly had implications and I'm curious as to what you meant. The only thing I can draw from it is that folks should not be allowed to protest because of Westboro.



IF he would have been caught protesting in the scenerio that I suggested he would have been terminted immediately.Instead I've seen MULITIPLE talking heads on ESPN defending and excusing his actions.

Never did I say ONE THING about shutting down protest or curbing free speech just that there are consequences for his actions ESPECIALLY when representing your employer and organization.

So basically you're comparing sitting through the national anthem to picketing at dead soldiers funerals?

Are we not allowed to take things case by case? Transitive properties is not something that should be applied in this scenario. That's ridiculous.

I have far more of an issue with the idiocy after.

He says he wants to unite, but wears socks depicting cops as pigs. That is just immature and does nothing for any cause.

He talks about oppression in the US, doesn't like what the flag represents, yet wears a Castro shirt in his post game interview.

How can someone be that out of touch?

I find it quite amusing that several rich black guys are protesting the country where the environment exists for them to succeed and amass the wealth that they have. It is actually quite ridiculous. No where on the face of the earth, could either of them have achieved so much. They are the most non-oppressed oppressed people in the history of mankind. What a joke....
