Weren’t you the one thumping the Bible? I say she should look to her Bible and stop seeking worldly acceptance if her path is righteous. I would advise Hill to read the 23 Psalms. How would you encourage her via your Bible sir?

Weren't you the one crying victimhood at every racial turn?
First, I'd tell her this isn't a religious issue and turn cheek to religious bigots. Secondly, I'd let her know this is an Anti-America issue using injustice in the name of justice. Lastly, I'd let her know her Military Family and a greatful Nation would be proud of her.

She did not face cancel culture. Identify a single person who had an actual, tangible negative impact on her way of life because she stood for the anthem. Not alleged hurt feelings due to twitter trolls and low self-esteem.
The entire concept of “cancel culture” is just code for being upset that people are exercising their 1st Amendment rights by saying things you don’t like. Too bad that you don’t like the 1st Amendment now that it finally works against your Klan friends. If you want to rip on black people in real life, throw a fit at Costco when asked to wear a mask, call the police on black birdwatchers, well, you get to be raked over the coals like you deserve. It’s not canceling, it’s holding you accountable for being an a**hole.
Saying something doesn’t make it true. You just don’t like that I trash you and your racist, homophobic klan friends. I do enjoy that you have such a hard time hearing things you don’t like, and that you fear being canceled by patriots like myself in real life when you can’t hide in anonymity.
Ill just leave this here.... its like a new version of the cultural revolution in China in the 70s. Cancel culture getting out of hand when these people speak up.

Hmmm... "patriots like myself" curious what the standard is for patriot here. Did you bleed or put yourself at significant risk for physical or mental harm for the benefit of your fellow citizens? Bear in mind the beliefs of your fellow citizens are as equally valid as yours. Explain to me the standard for calling yourself a patriot...
It's one thing to do something different from your entire team on such a charged topic when you are already on a pro team under contract. It is another issue to be going into a top D1 school as a freshman and needing to establish your place on the team. You are naive to think that there is no potential risk to consider. If Hill wasn't worried about backlash and judgement then why did she put out such a long tweet and have multiple articles to explain herself to the world? Why did she need to say anything at all about standing? She had to give a reason and justify her actions.
Whatever. There are always risk with decisions. If she doesn’t want to stand up for what is important to her, she has a lot of growing to do. Also keep in mind it’s a fake issue. I’m not aware of an entire college team kneeling in the history of the world and the odds are less than remote that it will happen on her team. But if she happened to pick a program where the entire team’s and coaching staff’s culture is so diametrically opposed to her values, she chose the wrong program and only has herself to blame and I don’t even remotely feel sorry for her. Expecting she could roll into a program and everyone would give up what is important to them because she disagrees and has self-esteem problems is ridiculously naive.
And what is your point? Everyone should always stand because there might be a player on the team who’s a chicken and too afraid to even discuss it with her teammates or coach?
Ill just leave this here.... its like a new version of the cultural revolution in China in the 70s. Cancel culture getting out of hand when these people speak up.

Waahhhhhhh!! Ever heard of the 1st Amendment? If you don’t want to get fired from your job, have your name and photo plastered all over the Internet, and get blocked on social media, don’t be a despicable human. Don’t parade around with tiki torches. It is so simple.
Like China in the 70s? Are you serious? If you spoke up against the Chinese government, it would kill you. Here, you might lose some Facebook friends and if you’re a really awful POS, lose your job. Take a breath. All this over-reacting makes you look really soft and snowflakey.

You need a parade? One you can prance around in a thong and get lots of attention?
The Anthem Debate Is Back. But Now It’s Standing That’s Polarizing. (Published 2020)
As games return and dozens of players drop to one knee, leagues that once tried to tiptoe around the issue won’t be able to avoid it.
Its like China in the 70s as the cycle of zealotry got out of hand. The movement kept escalating until it got to where people who were previously considered good upstanding communists were now being denounced as "not communist enough". The punishments went from public denunciation to camps to executions. When the people in the current movement are now going after Lin Manuel Miranda for not being anti slavery "enough" where 5 years ago he was bleeding edge, things are going too far. Where does the removal of statues and renaming of things stop? Washington was a slave owner.. are we going to remove the monument and rename the capitol as well as the state? We need to pump the brakes here.

This analogy is dumb as fuck and completely not applicable because there is no zealotry on behalf of Black Lives Matter. Fighting for equality is not zealotry. White silence is violence.
Can’t your dumb ass look around and see the inequitable administration of justice in regards to black folk? Can’t your dumb ass confirm that schools teach lies about “great white men?” Can’t your dumb ass see that America ISN’T a meritocracy and white privileged is reflected in employment, healthcare, education and every other sector of society?
Please miss me with your passive aggressive bullshit.

Does it feel different when you drop to 1 knee instead of both?

Blacks aren't fighting for equality. They've had equality. In fact, they've had the bar lowered for them, in multiple ways, so they aren't forced to compete on an even level. White silence is us eye rolling because we're all sick and tired of the whining and playing perpetual victim.
What inequitable administration of justice? Black people STILL insist a prior record isn't relevant. How fucking stupid is that? Stop with the white privilege bullshit. Nobody takes that trash seriously but you. Following basic fucking rules and playing the game without committing crimes is not a privilege. It's common sense. Kanye actually said something intelligent once... black people are only slaves in their own minds.

Thanks Pal. I knew I could count on you to “tell it like it is.” Your honesty is refreshing.

I just hate to see you struggling when THESE guys are living so large in the white man's world, Dre.
Someone would have preferred Lin Manuel had addressed slavery more in Hamilton is like the Chinese government sending people to concentration camps and executing them? The depth of your idiocy has no bottom. We have this thing called the 1st Amendment that China does not.
Your real problem is you just don’t like the 1st Amendment anymore because you don’t like what you’re hearing. Most of your lifetime you’ve been able to say all the dumbf**k things you wanted in your little echo chamber of like-minded idiot friends, with no pushback. But now every time you go on social media, people call you out, as well as everyone else who says the same dumbf**k things you believe. You can’t take it that the 1st Amendment allows people to say what you don’t want to hear, including explaining to you and your Karen friends exactly how stupid you are. And although you probably thought it was great 3 1/2 years ago when Karen got fired for flipping off Trump, it’s no longer funny to you when Karen is now getting fired for saying things you like. So now you want to “pump the brakes”, but the only way to do that is for the government to violate the 1st Amendment. Which means you are actually so stupid that you want the very thing that allows for the totalitarian state you claim to be worried about.
As for statues, I’ll keep it simple because you are. When society and government lack the human decency to stop supporting and sponsoring confederate monuments that symbolize and glorify hate and bigotry, it is no wonder that people strike out at all symbols of the government and society that sponsors hate and bigotry. In other words, if you want GW statues, get your s**t together. Until more people start focusing on what drives people to do these things, even if you disagree with their methods, more statues are coming down, and more Wendy’s will burn to the ground.

Congratulations! I see your argument has evolved from black on black crime and now you are taking the “colorblind-post-racial” position. Ladies and Gents, I think this fine gentleman is definitely showing progress.
