It they want to do something about people showing disrespect during the national anthem they should start with most of the people who try to sing it.

The only time I ever did the pledge was when I was taking french in high school and I only did it to practice my french.

I think it worked because I can still say the pledge in french today.

That's my story

The Pledge of Allegiance is a really creepy thing when you think about the words, and making school children all over the country say it every morning is bordering on Orwellian.

You wanna sing about how great your country is? Fine, whatever. But swearing allegiance to the bureaucracy of the nation is absurd.

he's not even protesting though, i said it before it's almost the laziest thing he could do next to a facebook post

it's more likely he is upset with his situation in san francisco and wants to go to another team so he decided to make a spectacle of himself by latching onto this issue

what has he actually done to further the cause of police violence against blacks? nothing, it's just a low level troll to get himself exposure

Your reminder of Salisbury led me to this article: http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/iteam/tough-times-sean-salisbury-bounces-back-blog-entry-1.2189456

quote:

ESPN did not renew Salisbury’s contract in 2008 and he fell into a toxic pool of depression, isolation and self-loathing. He spent several years basically hiding in his apartment, leaving only to buy groceries or spend time with his three children (Salisbury and his ex-wife divorced in 2005). He even stopped using the Internet for a while because he couldn’t bear to read what Deadspin and other websites were writing about him.

TLDR: he now shares his home with a 60 year old homeless guy he picked up for company on Christmas.

Hey David Brooks, when Europeans came to America, you know what their thoughts were?

What that nigga want God?
Word up, look out for the cops though Wu-Tang five finger poo poo
Cash rules-
Word up, two for fives over here baby
Word up, two for fives, niggas got garbage down the way, word up
Know what I'm saying?
Cash rules everything around me C.R.E.A.M. get-
Yeah, check this old fly poo poo out, word up
Cash rules everything around me C.R.E.A.M. get the money
Take you on a natural joint
Here we here we go
Dollar, dollar bill y'all
Check this poo poo, yo

I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had secondhands, Mom's bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo, rocking the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way I be gettin' the G off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rolling with this one and that one
Pulling out Gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen who was a fiend
Started smoking woolas at 16
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same drat 'Lo sweater
Times is rough and tough like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick-rear end clique and went all out
Catching keys from across seas
Rolling in MPV's every week we made forty G's
Yo nigga respect mine or here go the TEC-9
Ch-chick-POW, move from the gate now

Cash rules everything around me:
CREAM, get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all

Cash rules everything around me:
CREAM, get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all

It's been twenty-two long hard years of still struggling
Survival got me bugging, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause poo poo is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make cream
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of fifteen
A young buck selling drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin' - going upstate's my destination
Handcuffed in the back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
But as the world turned I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Every day I escape from Jakes giving chase, selling base
Smoking bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks and
Stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young Black youth
But shorty's running wild, smoking sess, drinking beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kicking in his ear
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic

Cash rules everything around me:
CREAM, get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all

Niggas got to do what they got to do
To get through - know what I'm saying?
Because you can't just get by no more - word up -
You gotta get over - straight up and down

Cash rules everything around me:
CREAM, get the money

To elaborate on my point about UK police. The only time when armed police are asked to attend are if its a "terror threat" or the assailant is armed. And even then, they do their absolute best to de-escalate the situation first.

It is a poor comparison to make because the United Kingdom is not awash in firearms. It's apples and oranges.
