    For all the talk about football in general and Kaepernick in particular, very little time has been given to the issues that he hoped to address. Via @ABC's @ztkiesch. https://abcn.ws/2B1IpDN pic.twitter.com/jlhtcCmS7N

        So if they're on the clock their 1A rights cease to exist? Does that apply to trump as well?

        That’s not his point...the point was were was all the media coverage of this “kneelers” during the off-season? What were they doing in their communities to further their cause? Oh that’s right...NOTHING. The kneeling is just virtue signaling and they really don’t give a crap.

        You just admitted there was no coverage of these nfl players during the off season. So exactly how then do you expect to know what they were doing off season?

        Simple...check their social media...you’ll see they haven’t done anything. And if they had, why doesn’t the MSM follow up and show it? Doesn’t matter, because, again, they DID NOTHING.

        Then you tell me then...what the hell did every single one of those players do in the entire offseason to further their “cause”?

        The kneeling during the anthem is a complete distraction to the message. They are actually causing much resentment to a legitimate cause because of these tactics. Just because the Constitution says you can do it, does not mean you should do it.

        He is a Supreme Court Justice in many cases. And there are many cases that I vehemently disagree with. See Dred Scott 1856 ; Plessey vs Ferguson 1896; Citizens United 2002(?) was another brain dead case. Many decisions are 5-4 So is the Minority a terrrible group of Americans?

        And by design. Who’s responsibility is it to shed light on the ACTUAL ISSUES of which created the protest? Isn’t THAT ON THE MEDIA, e. g. YOU, to shed the PROPER LIGHT on the PROPER ISSUES? YOU, the MEDIA, are the ones DERAILING the underlying message and ELEVATING nonsense! YOU!

        Trump swayed the conversation away from the issues. It's never about people. #BigCon

        You’re not remembering the timeline correctly. He started kneeling, and continued kneeling, before Trump said a word. A lot of people had a problem with it before Trump said a word too

        Some will agree and others will disagree. Trump swayed the conversation though. He has a few quotes. Fixing issues isn't an overnight thing. The conversation went around Trump's quotes soon afterwards.
