Hell, I don't know. Ask them. Inequality, brotherhood, unity. Whatever it is, they are acting on it on a platform that we gave them. And now people are mad that they are doing it.

It's as dumb as a parent giving their kid everything he/she wants, and then getting mad when the kid is a spoiled brat.

WE created the monster! And now people are mad that the monster is misbehaving.

True, we gave em the platform and the monster is misbehaving. You act like we have no right to be mad about it. I say if we gave em the platform, we can taketh the platform if we choose and we can be mad about it if we like. What's your issue with folks being upset about it? Yeah it's our fault, don't mean we can't be mad or that we have to continue to give them that platform.

I think I've made it clear I have no issue with the people who are offended by this.

I just find it hillarious that many of these same people also complain about everyone getting offended over simple things, and running to facebook, twitter, or online forums to complain about it. And here they are doing the same thing.

And then there's the fact that no one has to watch it. I probably spend half the Sundays in football season not watching football. Half the Saturdays too. Has nothing to do with being offended, I just havd better things to do. And my life goes on. And I don't feel the need to run to SaltyCajun to tell people that I didn't watch football.

You sure like to read between the lines, and insert your opinion of what you think you read, rather than taking what is written for face value.

I'm speaking in general. From my observations through face-to-face conversations and social media interactions, most of the people "offended" by the kneelers "disrespecting the country" are the same people that get angry at people who are "offended" by confederate statues, or "racist" team names.

If that statement bothers you, maybe you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you fit into this category, because, AGAIN, I was not speaking of anyone specifically in this thread.

BTW, you brought the "offended" topic to the table with your last statement of the OP. "That way they could eat and be guaranteed not to be offended", or something along those lines.

I did, however, directly address your ever so thought provoking topic earlier. No establishment is going to just stop showing NFL and become a "safe zone" until customers stop visiting that business. Being offended is the hot new thing in America. But unless people stop going to those businesses that show NFL games, I doubt many will become "NFL Free Zones".
