If you're against racial injustice and police brutality, then you're ok with the NFL protests. Pretty simple. Now time for me to listen to men who are 6 times less likely to be affected by either talk about it.

Fighting the good fight. It's not binary. Most of us are dead set against police brutality and racial injustice. But with that presumably large group, MANY feel protesting during the anthem is bad form.

MANY feel protesting before the anthem is played is bad form. MANY seem to feel protesting at all is bad form.

Jason- You can always choose not to listen. Just like many of us did to your abomination of a show which is why you're on Twitter and not the air waves.

already burnt all the bridges might as well burn the row boats too.

MANY feel protesting before the anthem is played is bad form. MANY seem to feel protesting at all is bad form.

Are we sure that, if we assume an interaction with a police officer, that whites are less likely to be victimized by unwarranted police violence than black people?

The aggregate statistics make Goff's statement true, and proceeding from that point of fact, I think it is prudent to then explore how likely white people are to interact with police officers relative to black people doing the same. I remember a study that tried to approximate "police interaction rates" using police reports, but not all interactions with police generate a report, in fact I'm willing to bet that most interactions, regardless of race, do not wind up documented in reports.

Really? Where is your evidence of that?

Personally, I don't give a fuck if they kneel during the anthem or wipe their asses with the American flag on TV, but what Goff says is simply wrong. A person can very well be against racial injustice/police brutality and against kneeling during the anthem at the same time. That isn't really difficult to understand.

Well this show thread is off to a rolling start

I know what moves meters around here.

The fact that players and teams who purposefully knelt only before the anthem were still widely booed indicates to me that for MANY this has never been strictly about respect during the anthem but the audacity to express any kind of opinion at all.

So your evidence is a few boos that you arbitrarily hear thru your TV? It is also possible that some of those boos are directed at the player(s) simply because he is not wearing the uniform of the home team.

The statement isn't concerned with the "why" of the criminal behavior. Unless you are prepared to argue that there are a HUGE amount of false convictions, the statement is true and is not in need of further context.

Then based on what you said earlier, you believe that everybody who booed in Jacksonville, Baltimore, and Dallas is against any protest at all at any time or any where.

Nobody is gonna buy that, so don't try selling it.

And of course it's direct evidence that this wasn't strictly about the flag or anthem for MANY of the booers.

They're likely totally in favor of all protests that are totally out of sight and out of mind.

You don't know this to be true.
