    No genetic fallacy, merely discounting what a known alt-right advocate such as Breitbart, which openly opposes multiculturalism and social justice movements, has to say about the legitimate grievances of black citizens about police.

      Here's what you literally said: "No genetic fallacy, merely a genetic fallacy."

            It's not like they're taking time to make a speech or anything. Without all the hullabaloo, nobody would even know that it was political. If I saw players kneel without any of the context we have, I would just think they were especially patriotic.

              Your delusions are just so darn entertaining. I can picture you with your eyes bugging out and mouth frothing as you wrote that.

                The NFL is committing suicide by activism.

                Baseball suffered a similar public relations disaster back in the 1990s when the players went out on strike (derisively referred to as the millionaire's strike) and had to turn a blind eye (and possibly encouraged) rampant steroid use in order to regain popularity.

                      You think he disagreed with the President's request? Sure doesn't sound like it.

                        That seems... unlikely.
                        "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                            Trump's taking credit for it: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...-on-colts-game

                            And, yes, Pence and Trump are both total snowflakes for this and other reasons. (Remember when Trump declared the theater should be a "safe place" after the Hamilton cast criticized Pence?)

                              If I were them I wouldn't want to be confronted by my failure to help people I don't care about either. However, I wouldn't go so far as to attend a football game for the express purpose of leaving in protest.

                                For all the tough game Trump talks, he would be more consistent to take criticism like a man and not whine like a dumped teenage girl any time anybody says anything remotely negative about him.
