It's just interesting to me how it seems the general response from military is one of support but from police it's the polar opposite. For any shred of what it's worth I'm a military vet and I have no issue with any of it.

Most cops play soldiers in their "urban warfare" beats. The ones who behave like citizens trying to take care of other citizens are the rare good cop.

I agree with you guys and all but I think the Brooks and Isola takes are much more harmful in this discussion than Newton. The sheer number of loving idiots out there is depressing

Yeah, I'm sad Cam chooses the Russell Wilson route, but I can't blame him for getting by. Frank Isola is just another lovely sportswriter who panders to those idiots and David Brooks should be launched into the sun for sure.

The psych ward I worked at banned police officers from carrying their guns on unit. That was usually all it took to keep most of them from entering. They were absolutely petrified of going into a situation without a gun. It didn't seem to bother the geriatric nurses, but a young, fit, white male can't be around a bunch of meth heads without protection. :rolleyes:

They've gotten so used to widespread fellatio for killing young black men over the past few years that anything but unabashed praise for every single cop in America is a personal affront of the highest order.

Lmao. Sometimes I think the world is sufficiently lovely enough that we as a collective species deserve somebody like Trump. If he did get elected, what did any of us do to really stop it? We deserve this. We deserve failure. Cleveland deserves the Browns. Seahawks deserve to lose to the Rams from now until the end of time, ie. next season.

Eagles and their head coach are doing something for the anthem tonight.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000703966/article/pederson-would-join-eagles-in-teamwide-gesture

NFL posted:

Doug Pederson would join Eagles in teamwide gesture

Doug Pederson stands with his players.

The first-year Eagles coach was asked Saturday whether he would prevent his players from protesting during the national anthem on Monday night if they choose to do so and expressed his support of whatever action they wish to take.

"If they wanted to do something teamwide, I would definitely be for that," Pederson explained. "I think it just shows unity, and there's no division that way. And I think it sends a great message that from our standpoint and the National Football League and the platform and as individuals, we love this country and what it represents and the flag and the national anthem and everything.

"Listen, we're not perfect, obviously, and for us to stand sort of united that way would be -- I would be OK for that."

On Friday, veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins initiated the discussion about a potential protest by Eagles players on Monday night, in the same vein as other demonstrations that permeated throughout the league in Week 1. Per SportsRadio 94WIP, Jenkins said that he will "most likely" be joining in on a protest and that other Eagles will "definitely" do something during the anthem.

Jenkins added, "We got guys, especially myself, who feel very strongly about the topic and last week, we talked about doing some stuff, but we wanted to make sure that we didn't do anything to take away from the folks, and the families that suffered from 9/11. We didn't want to mess with that day.

"For me, it has nothing to do with this country, or the flag, or the anthem itself. Really, it's just to continue to push for the conversation about social injustice. ... That's a range of things from police brutality to wages and job opportunities, education. It's just a lot of things set up systematically in this country, since its inception, that really puts minorities, especially African-Americans, at a disadvantage."

Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit during the national anthem to protest social injustice against African-Americans and other minorities in the United States has clearly found support among NFL players. Last week, players from the Seahawks, Chiefs, Dolphins, Patriots, Rams and 49ers all staged demonstrations of unity during the national anthem.
