    They have had players kneeling since Kaepernick, so yeah, it was a sure bet.

    Nuance? From a trump acolyte like you portray on this board? That’s a fucking joke. Nuance doesn’t exist in conservative, evangelical, republican and trump world views.

    What does that have to do with Jefferson, and his views?

    Say what now? "Fake News" absolutely undermines the press. Any reporting he doesn't like is labeled that way. If you don't think that has done major damage, then I don't know what to tell you.

    They needed that sure bet, because it would have been par for this administration's course that no players would have kneeled and Pence still would have done his planned protest.

    It might be wise for you to attibute that quote to Thomas Jefferson.

    This is why if you want to make a solid political point, stay the fuck away from memes.

    Understand the sentiment. I made a simliar mistake on Facebook last week and had all kinds of wrath laid down on me, rightfully.

    I still say the statement is powerful.

    I agree, but I guess I can't blame @YankeeFan for mocking the statement considering how it was presented.
