What part of Americans being called racist upsets you?
Is it because you think it's not true, or are you just tired of the inconvenience?
lol wow...so when did you (or in this case, White America) stop beating your wife? Kinda the same thing at this point.
That survey isn't perfect but is a decent enough litmus test of our country's "about as low as it's gonna get" racism epidemic compared to the rest of the world, and that doesn't even take into account the governing laws that are in place to protect minorities.
Is this form of protest during a pretty much perfunctory part of the event where you are probably off on a bio break, flipping the last burgers, or fetching a fresh cold one cramping your pre-game ritual?
Was I supposed to also have a bunch of my friends over, diggin in the chips n dip and passing around drinks too? Some people, like myself, simply sit on the couch waiting for the game.
"OMG turtle head poking out. How much time do I have?"
"They're just about to start the anthem. I'll hold your beer. GO GO GO!"
So, OK, there are "better ways of protesting". You suggested buying ad time instead of filling a part of the event where you wouldn't normally be paying attention anyways.
But who watches ad's and commercials during a football game too? Wouldn't I be "fetching a fresh cold one" during that point? An ad has words and tone that can convey an argument or point in a more classy, nuanced way that might not alienate as many people. Just kneeling sends the message that you support a former QB's point of views, the same QB who wore pig socks to practice. Some would view that as a bit of a divisive stance to support during the national anthem.
But wouldn't that *immediately* land you right back here complaining, "Man, I am so tired of seeing all these uppity SJW ads during a game. I can't hardly pinch one off now during the break because I'm so upset."
I poop in a bucket during my football games. I never miss a gameday moment.
