Cowboys QB Dak Prescott 'not at all' tempted to protest national anthem

[smootness]

So apparently Marshawn Lynch has never stood for the national anthem in his life and nobody ever cared until 2017?

He has definitely stood in the past.

[Tbonewannabe]

Was he the one who got away with murder?

That was Ray Lewis.

Nope. I didn't say any of that.

This is the problem with the entire public dialogue. People don't know how to listen and just make up what they think other people mean. It's amazing because for some people sitting during the national anthem means disrespecting the military when no one has ever said that at all.

By the way, Kap initially was on one knee which for many people is just another symbolic gesture that people appreciate (ask Tebow). Kap has never disrespected the military or anyone who died in the military. That's just the red meat that people feed you so that you won't consider the real issue.

The real issue is police not being held responsible for unarmed deaths which is why Dez went out of his way to clarify that his not kneeling does not mean he doesn't support social issues.

By kneeling Kap brought attention to an issue that the rest of society likes to forget. By not signing him NFL owners are actually keeping the issue alive.

I know you "blue blooded Americans" whose country has been taken away will not agree with me but that's fine. Continue on making America great again but this time do it for EVERYONE. God bless.

You"blue blooded" Americans? You're all about generalizing. Look, your statement implied that the major reason Dak didn't kneel for the national anthem is that he's afraid for the security of his contract. What this implies is that you believe he actually wants to kneel in the first place and doesn't out of fear. Why would you just assume he wants to kneel? Because he's black? That's generalization at its finest.

1. To each their own. It's why this country is better than everywhere else. Free speech is a good thing whether you agree with it or not.
2. Kap is a damn fool. He turned down millions thinking he could do better and he couldn't. Happens to people everyday that's looking for more when they've already got a lot (it's called greed). Plus, he's got a crazy chic in his ear and on his jock that's already ruined one NFL player. Damn black widow....(not in the racist sense)

Mods- All I wanted here was a nice happy Dak Prescott thread. Please delete this. I would if I could.

For the record, Kaepernick was going to be cut if he didn't opt out. He knew it, and the 49ers have admitted as much.

That said, I don't care that he isn't on a team, and I don't think it's the NFL's duty to make sure he is. He made a choice, which he is free to do, and I have no issue with his choice. But you have to deal with the consequences. He took a stand he seemed willing to pay the price for, and it did cost him.

He could've restructured for less money. He chose not to. It was offered to him.

You're right, I was wrong on the contract deal. I got it confused with the Denver negotiations and what they were trying to do. My bad.

The real issue is the reforms offered by BLM.

thank you for proving my point. distract, distract, distract. never address the issues.

Lock. It. Up. For. ****. Sakes.

That is why I don't leave the house unarmed.

Distracting by pointing out the real actual problem in this country and not something completely made up by the crazies? You are full of it and you know it, you just want chaos with no consequences just like blm.

I really hope that did not make sense in your head, for your sake.

I've got news for you, the only people that are responsible for the distractions are the BLM leaders and a large number of people that support the movement.....it's not everybody else's fault for seeing all the crazy, violent, lawless shit that has been done in the name of BLM, noticing the fact that the BLM leaders and the majority of its supporters weren't adamantly condemning and discouraging it, and coming to the conclusion that BLM was a bunch of radical, racist lunatics that should be ignored. I am sure that there are some real issues that need to be addressed, but BLM is not the group to lead that charge because they have lost all credibility.

Ive got news for you, the violence at BLM events has been minor and massively overstated, they did adamantly condemn and discourage it. The radical racist lunatics are those that run propaganda to discredit any group that comes along to challenge the racist status quo. They did the same thing in the 60s. Dont fall for it so easily.

What issues did you think you raised, local crazy person?
