pwny Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 We’re a close knit forum without much wild anger between members, so I figured I would give a chance for this to be discussed in a kind, intelligent manner.

.Buzz Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Disappointed that this needed to be done. People just see kneeling during the anthem and assume things without actually reading into why they actually did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I tell my kids all the time, if you don't understand something, ask questions until you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 For the team to issue an apology, it feels largely an empty gesture to placate those who would rather complain about the how than to have a hard discussion about the why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 They only did this because they saw the attendance on Sunday. It’s all about $$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. To me, it feels like an empty gesture where they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. Especially after feeling the impact at the ticket booth on Sunday. Either it meant something, or it didn't. It's not really a..."both ways" sort of thing. Much as that would be convenient...the whole point is that it's not convenient. Whatever. I'm so tired of this whole thing. I really wish there was an honest to goodness, genuine constructive dialogue opened about the issue...as it was originally intended to generate. But it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. It just seems to be further entrenching and dividing people, so far as i can tell from afar.

JiffyJag Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 to be fair, this is only apologizing for doing it on foreign soil.........not necessarily condemning kneeling that being said, would've preferred no apology, as there isn't one necessary.

Its A Sabotage Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 why wold they apologize to the racist people that they protested in the first place - the stadium isn't full due to 10 years of being straight dogsht and not due to some kneeling and locked arms --- it looks worse now that they apologized should have just let it be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
