Belichick released a statement.
A non-statement, really, but what else can you expect from the likes of him.

Okay, then remove the association with the military.
They are clowning him right now on Boston radio right now. I think it's most likely that he is tired of the reporters asking him questions about this.

True, better than that Richardson statement above though, which is a ridiculous "keep politics out of sports" rhetoric.
None at all.
It pretty explicitly says that they're anti-kneeling with talk about not politicizing sports.

If there was ever a time for the Steelers to catch a case of Leakyolinitus, this is it.
how many people have family members/close friends showing their asses over this?
god, what a baffling 24 hours this has been. people who voted for Hillary, oppose Trump, and hold generally favorable views on social issues just saying some real racist/borderline racist shit because of this. I don't even know how to proceed with some of these people tbh.

LOL. Fuck off. It's really never the right time for anything, is it? "Shut up and get in line. Don't rock the boat."
oh fuck off jerry
done with the panthers. shameful ass organization.
I can almost guarantee that pep wanted to kneel and was pressured not to so he just stayed back during the anthem
Yeah, I've seen some wild shit on my Facebook feed, especially from south of the border (Canadian).

In re-reading, you're basically right. Very disappointing, particularly as a Charlottean.
Yesterday was awkward at the in-laws. Complicated by the fact that they had no idea Trump had made any comments on the issue.

I got wrecked at a family birthday party a few weeks ago for supporting Kaepernick.

I purged my friend lists of assholes a while ago, so I honestly haven't seen much about it until this morning when my Grandma's racist ass decided she needed to get on Facebook again

the hawk apparently plans to crouch in repose on an exposed metal structural beam tonight in protest, zero interest in stealing the ball
Belichick released a statement.
Allow me to quote my own status from today, which is based on an actual person I know and had to delete.
She previously posted that she thinks those who kneel should be killed for treason.
Pop almost verbatim repeated the stupid #WhitePrivlidge arguements on the internet and framed this discussion as a competition where #WhitePeople have to lose their current quality of life.
This is devisive crap. This is a fight for Black people (and other minority groups) across America to be treated with the same dignity and respect that is given freely to its citizens that appear to look Caucasian.
This isn't about (or shouldn't be about) stripping social advantage, but rather raising up those who have previously been disadvantaged by giving those groups the same inherent benefits that being born American should entail.
My dad had an argument with his Trump-voting brother over it yesterday. They were due to go visit them (they live in a nice house in Charleston, SC) in a few weeks, but now mom and dad are reconsidering (but they know if they skip this, then the relationship is over and we'll only ever see them at my cousin's house).

Why are you always so wrong about everything? Pointing out white privilege is not the same as advocating a diminishment in quality of life. My god, dude.

Indeed. He's been this way ever since First Take. He would let SAS go off about political situations and didn't really offer much to say unlike when he intentionally trollbaits people in sporting topics.

Y'all still think the Steelers stayed in the locker room as a form of protest now? Nah? Yeah.
Fucking hell.
Fucking hell.
They are they type of liberal moderate that prefers order over justice. They are people you may want to def reconsider your ties if thats what they get from this form of protest.

didn't even know about clickhole, but the post is still accurate since people legitimately say that nonsense
Probably the statement they wish the president could have given rather than going nuclear stupid.

I bet close to 75% of White America opposes the anthem protest and equal or greater number of Black Americans support it. That's about what the polls always turn out on opinions about race and police brutality.
I'm no stranger to cutting ties with family members for saying some fuck shit but my nephew would be cut also and I love him

Ben was never a good guy. Remember he raped that girl?
Pop litterally said (paraphrase)
Its like being at the 50 yard mark of a 100 yard dash (framed as competition)
White people have an inherent advantage (framed competition now about race)
And people don't want to give up the status quo (implied white people should have to change for the negative to make things better)
Its a flawed ignorant arguement.
Edit. Cops starting to murder white people too would technically be equality but thats certainly not progress in the right direction. Ect.
How old is he? I think younger people def can be saved. Older folks. Im willing to love em enough to let them go.

I am more curious on Military/former Military views on it. I feel if anyone is offended they they would be but I could be wrong.

Good grief. Just stop.
Changing the status quo literally requires opening your eyes. It's not about taking anything away. It's acknowledging what somebody else doesn't even have.

From my friend group it's two Army friends for it, one against. My Dad was in the Navy, but he hasn't really said much.

I feel like you are being trolled. Why is their spelling so bad on their posts.

I think that's a horrible litmus test that plays into conservative talking points, to be honest. The military does not own the flag or the anthem, and conservative talking points try very hard to pit this as a question of support for the military so that they can avoid addressing the issue, which is not a game anyone should play along with.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So, uh, there's gotta be a Tweet of Trump supporting those who did similar protests against Obama...right?
Pop didn't say "change the status quo" he said "give up the status quo which has far different conotations"
I would recomend you take your own advice when considering this issue.
