(GreenGoo, I don't know who Neal McCready is, but the pictures seem significant as college basketball players are shown kneeling during the anthem. It will be curious to see if this spreads into March Madness.)

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
College would seem a better venue for this, since the administrators are so worried about providing a "safe space."

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
They knelt because there was a protest March by racists about the removal of the school mascot Ole Reb or some such. They stated they wanted everyone to know that those ideas were not supported by the students.

Maybe it's just me, but I think it takes a lot more balls to publicly face criticism for something you believe in than it does to cast aspersion from the anonymity of an internet forum. So who are the real snowflakes?

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
What I don't get is that kneeling is like the highest show of respect and subservience. Standing is technically less respectful than kneeling.
On the football field maybe it's like a resting stance but mist other places it's like "I'm REALLY down with this anthem!" Sure looks that way on the court. Yeah, it's a statement but I wouldn't call it disrespectful.

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
Yes, and that was pretty well known at the time they were kneeling. I'm surprised Moliere either didn't know about this or elected not to provide the context. This was a one-off thing (although I suppose it's always possible they continue doing it) to counter-protest the racist rally taking place on campus at the time.
That's my purse! I don't know you!

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
That's why it's done. I'm sure there's a dozen article about it. But the kneeling is the result of a relationship and hours long conversation between kapernick and an American soldier. Mainly it signifies something is wrong and respect at the same time.LawBeefaroni wrote:What I don't get is that kneeling is like the highest show of respect and subservience.

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
I know, I've read about that. I mean with the naysayers who don't know that. Even without that background, it just looks respectful. Maybe because it's usually black guys not doing as they're told?

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
Unfortunately when it's right about 90% of the time, the 10% have been co-opted and are wearing the uniform.

I used to put up a blue line flag sometimes to show support for our local POs. I don't anymore, and use CPMF flag. Not my first choice but the other was co-opted.

Re: Pictures and Videos for R&P
It's weird. Just today I described Trump as Charlie Brown with Kim's holding the football, then I come here and see that. If I show my wife that, she will never believe that I didn't see it first.
Of course, it's not too profound an observation...

No, just a long day and I was thinking Ivanka was the ex-wife and Ivana the daughter but at least I managed to morally fix it.

1) LM suggests the flag is Drumpf's daughter.
2) Remus corrects LM, so now I'm assuming LM used the wrong name, and Remus suggests the flag is drumpf's daughter.
3) I'm confused, because the joke works better if LM is referencing the daughter, but maybe he meant wife? Maybe he meant daughter but used wife's name? Maybe I don't recall which name applies to which woman?
4) Max notes that the joke works better with the daughter. I continue to be confused. Didn't Remus replace the wife's name with the daughter's name? Why would Remus replace the daughter's name with the wife's name?
5) Ooohhhh.
Turns out I don't care enough about either of them to remember their names. I'm ok with that.

That we know of.
The picture is of Drumpf groping the flag, not raping it. Given the "hands on" fathering we have photographic evidence of, I think Ivanka works better for the snide remark.
