Will you racist rednecks beat me up?
The national anthem is racist you know!
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 about the American victory at the Battle of Fort McHenry. We only sing the first verse, but Key penned three more. This is the third verse: And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,That the havoc of war and the battle's confusionA home and a Country should leave us no more?Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.No refuge could save the hireling and slaveFrom the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.The mere mention of "slave" is not entirely remarkable; slavery was alive and well in the United States in 1814. Key himself owned slaves, was an anti-abolitionist and once called his African brethren "a distinct and inferior race of people (https://books.google.com/books?id=xVRQ8NsrP5MC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=%E2%80%9Ca+distinct+and+inferior+race+of+people,+which+all+experience+proves+to+be+the+greatest+evil+that+afflicts+a+community.%E2%80%9D&source=bl&ots=akAa-MkOnE&sig=gl287IEmrxDd7QhWzDZ1vndULAY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7-4HtktDNAhXG7YMKHbKMDCEQ6AEIJjAB#v=onepage&q=%E2%80%9Ca%20distinct%20and%20inferior%20race%20of%20people%2C%20which%20all%20experience%20proves%20to%20be%20the%20greatest%20evil%20that%20afflicts%20a%20community.%E2%80%9D&f=false)." Some interpretations (http://harpers.org/archive/2014/09/washington-is-burning/) of these lyrics contend Key was in fact taking pleasure (https://theintercept.com/2016/08/28/colin-kaepernick-is-righter-than-you-know-the-national-anthem-is-a-celebration-of-slavery/) in the deaths of freed black slaves who had decided to fight with the British against the United States. In order to bolster their numbers, British forces offered slaves their freedom (http://www.pbs.org/wned/war-of-1812/essays/black-soldier-and-sailors-war/) in British territories if they would join their cause during the war. These black recruits formed the Colonial Marines, and were looked down upon by people like Key who saw their actions as treasonous (https://vimeo.com/166881889). As an anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner" has never been a unanimous fit. Since it was officially designated as the national anthem in 1931, Americans have debated the suitability (http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=124012&page=1) of its militaristic lyrics and difficult tune. (Some have offered up "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" as alternatives.)

I say don't hate on Kraperdink. He's doing it for the pussy. Fine, silky, Egyptian pussy, bro. foxynewz
NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s conversion to social activism coincided with his romancing of a hip hop DJ of Egyptian descent who has frequently spoken about perceived racial injustices and “Islamaphobia†in the U.S.
Kaepernick, 28, who has come under fire for his decision to remain seated during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner before San Francisco 49ers games, reportedly began dating Hot 97 DJ and MTV host Nessa Diab in July 2015. A few months later, his social media posts began to reflect the Black Lives Matter and Muslim activism of Diab.
"History!" Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15, when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.
Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends. But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X†and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.
Kaepernick, who was notably photographed with Bible quotes tattooed on his biceps when he first came into the league, also posted a greeting in July acknowledging “a lot of people†who he knew fasting during the Muslim holiday of Ramadan and wishing them “a Happy Eid!†He also was heavily critical on social media of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims.
Diab’s Twitter and Instagram account is a mish-mash of black activism, celebrity pics and the occasional defense of Islam. She frequently retweets Black Lives Matter supporter and newspaper columnist Shaun King on race-related issues. On Aug. 18, Diab retweeted another user’s musings that black athletes face a backlash for expressing political opinions with the added comment “YESSSSSS.†She defended Kaepernick in an Aug. 28 tweet, writing, “I’m always proud of him and always will be @Kaepernick7 . Please take the time to UNDERSTAND what he is saying,†followed by a link to a transcript of his news conference.
Diab said in a March 2014 interview that she spent many of her formative years in Saudi Arabia, after her dad was transferred there from a job in California. She described being in the Kingdom during the Gulf War and how the threat of bombings later colored her impression of American tragedies.
“When 9/11 happened, it didn’t surprise me at all,†Diab said on the Guy Code Podcast. “’Wow. Mmkay. This is what we went through, probably, every couple months.’â€
On the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Diab posted a quote on Instagram from President Obama saying in part “ISIL does not speak for Islam.†Diab added: “Had to repost @ebroski on this and also check those comments out #knowledgeispower #enlightenment.â€
Posting about Alton Sterling’s controversial shooting by police officers, Diab remarked “they will also try to discredit the store owner’s account of what occurred because he’s Muslim and we know Islamaphobia is at an all-time high in this country.â€
Diab said her parents, who were originally from Egypt, were highly educated, but denied some jobs in the U.S. “because they have an accent.â€

Colin is doing it because he knows his ass is about to get cut. He's trying to make it as hard as possible to get rid of him now.
49ers don't start him? It's because they racist. 49ers cut him? It's because he stood up for black people so they must be racist.
Racism is the hottest topic in the media right now, he's doing what his agent told him to do. Doesn't hurt that his girl is with BLM.

I fully support his first amendment right to free speech. That being said, most people in this country don't understand the right of free speech sometimes comes with consequences and those consequences can damage your livelihood.
So yay for him for exercising one of his God given rights and fuck him I hope he dies penniless in a dirty bathroom.
-
Here's my thoughts. I agree with his right to free speech. How can we be up in arms over this when they have taken the pledge out of our schools? On the other hand, I hate him and anyone else that disrespects our anthem and or flag. To see these blithering idiots on TV stepping on the flag, makes me livid.

That's his mother and his stepfather. His dad left them at an early age.
That article Snags posted explaining that he did all this for pussy makes this all snap into focus and finally make sense.
By the way, this part of Colin's rant seems to be suspiciously missing from all the ESPN & other news stories I've seen. Click link below for video.

I mean, we have a presidential candidate who's deleted emails and done things illegally, and is a presidential candidate. That doesn't make sense to me. Cause if that was any other person, you'd be in prison. So what is this country really standing for?

What puzzles me... Or offends or whatever.
There was a time when if some fool like this did what he's doing, the nation would collectively say "fucking idiot" and move on.
Not now. Instead we have to legitimize his idiocy by asking everyone under the sun what they think about it and then blast them for whatever opinion they express -- particularly if they don't take one that's outlandish and extreme. We give his ignorance validity when we have dipshits analyzing the national anthem line by line and offer opinions as to its relative racism. We wrongly brand people long dead by applying today's moronic standards to the lives they lived at the time. Ohhh, Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem and he had SLAVES!!! Yeah. He wasn't eco-friendly and burned lots of oil. He probably wore clothes made of FUR!! He's EVIL!! There are so many morons who want to whitewash history and purge it of anyone who falls short of the pussified values they hold now. We need to blast Washington and Jefferson off Mount Rushmore because they didn't sit down for the national anthem and demand the abolition of slavery. They were oppressors!! Roosevelt killed people. Get him off there. We need to put Martin Luther the King up there... you know, because he was a philandering piece of shit.
When the behavior of some assclown like Colin Dumperdick is given this much attention and shown any validity at all it shows me just how far down the path to ruin this country is.
Yesterday in Home Depot I saw some black woman going off on somebody at the service desk. Finger waving, head bobbing, weave shaking big mouth bellowing. From what I could gather she was trying to return items for a refund that didn't come from Home Depot and the clerk was trying to explain it to her belligerent face. One of the things I heard her scream at the clerk was "You owe me respect..." I thought about that. Nobody "owes" anybody respect. You have to earn that. Showing your ass, being an obnoxious loud-mouthed bitch doesn't earn you any and you shouldn't get it.
So fuck Colin Pimplefink. Why is anybody listening to anything he has to say? He hasn't earned it and can go fuck himself.

This story won't die.
Finebaum said this country is not systematically oppressing black people. Hoo boy was that wrongthink. Nevermind Marcus Spears pretty much agreed with his entire point and even repeated "I don't believe this country is oppressing black people."
So anyway ESPN made him publicly self-flagellate. It looks exactly like an ISIS hostage video, except instead of trying to avoid a beheading, he's trying to avoid getting axed by ESPN for wrongthink. Watch the video below.
https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/video-paul-finebaum-remorseful-comments-race-issue/
Nevermind that what Finebaum said is 100% factually true. There is no other country on earth where black people have more opportunity, wealth, health, access to education, etc. as they do right here in the U.S.A. The government of the country that flag represents does not systematically oppress you. I'm sick of hearing that nonsense. Racism isn't over. I'm not saying we're perfect. But 90% of the BLM cases are completely justifiable use of equal force by police, and of the 10% that aren't, 99% of those are punished. And all of the data points to the fact that it isn't even a matter of race whatsoever. Black people commit violent crimes at a rate of 5x that of whites and are only killed by police at a rate of 2.5x. In other words if you put yourself in a situation where you're likely to have a violent standoff with police, you have about half the chance of getting killed if you're black than if you're white. Yet the narrative is ONLY white cops are ONLY killing black people for NO reason other than some systematic oppression as if the police are rewarding white (and only white) cops for killing black (and only black) civilians. Lunacy.
And when ESPN and CNN and everyone else lionizes this type of dumb shit for the "very important message", they spread the misinformation narrative. And I'm not even pissed that he's doing it. I agree with K, fine, roll your eyes at the idealistic idiocy and move along. But we can't. I've had to fucking read about it everywhere I look like he's some actual significant civil rights icon for sitting on his ignorant ass and throwing the country under the bus for some radical Muslim snatch.
And now it's spreading. Now he's being joined by his teammates and people on the opposing bench. Such heroism.
And he looks like he's playing dress-up as a black activist with that cartoonish Undercover Brother afro of his.

Yeah, that racist third verse is problematic.
They should take it out or something, IMO.
-
Excellent take, Chiz.
To further illustrate why the BLM movement is so incredibly irrelevant and misguided, I just read a Chicago Tribune piece stating that there have been 90 murders in the month of August alone in that city. 471 so far this year. Blacks make up 35% of the population of Chicago and they are committing 76% of all crimes.
Your movement should be focused on decrying violence in inner cities and promoting the strengthening of families in the African American communities. I hear all the time that people don't understand the environment that young black males come from. And I'm certain that is in fact, a huge factor in the discrepancy in the crime rate. So work to change the environment. Don't spend all your energy looking to shift the blame and cause even more racial division. Go instead to the core of the problem. Family.
It sounds too simple but I firmly believe that without discipline at home, you get exactly what we have in this country.

This is the easiest thing to comprehend. It doesn't bother me so much that the media refuses to acknowledge, because they are using the narrative to further their agenda and ratings. But it blows my fucking mind that people can't look for themselves and understand the BLM narrative is FALSE. Nearly all of it. It's fucking incredible.

How much have you seen that's been positive since the BLM shootings? Parent at my kids school is a local cop, and I was talking to him, and he said he's never seen so much positive things happen... people coming to the station with food, gift cards... just to say thanks to the guys in Blue. Said he pulled a guy over for speeding a few weeks ago, and was giving the guy a warning. Before the guy took off, he asked to say a prayer with him. Said he'd never seen that in 10 years on the force.

If you haven't watched South Park the last couple of seasons, I HIGHLY suggest that you go back and catch up.
South Park has always been great, but they have abso-fucking-lutely crushed it since season 18. I had never heard the term cisgender until they used it to tackle the trans bathroom debate two years before it was actually a debate. But Season 19 was the best satire in the history of ever for the insane PC/SJW world we're living in now.
Season 20 appears to be continuing that trajectory. Starts tonight.

I'm gonna' take a wild guess and say Kid Rock and KISS aren't Colon Craperdink fans. foxynewz
Kid Rock had three words to say about Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the National Anthem.
In a new video of his Friday concert at Fenway Park in Boston, the singer stopped in the middle of singing "Born Free" to say "F--k Colin Kaepernick."
The crowd went wild while Rock continued to perform in front of a giant American flag.
The rocker isn't the first celebrity to speak out against the San Francisco 49ers quarterback.
Over the weekend, KISS took aim at the football player on their "Freedom to Rock" tour.
"In case you didn't know this tour is called the 'Freedom to Rock [tour]," KISS' Paul Stanley said on stage. "A lot of times people that are born free think that freedom is free and it's not. Freedom is only free because there are people willing to sacrifice to keep us free."
He then announced a $150,000 donation to "Hiring our heroes" which helps veterans find employment.
Before leading the audience to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and a rock version of the "Star Spangled Banner," Stanley told the crowd, "You should remember, patriotism is always cool. Loving your country is always cool. Standing up, respecting and honoring our military is always cool. So, to show some respect between pick-throwing, we’re going to put our right hands over our hearts and why don’t we say the Pledge of Allegiance."

If you haven't watched South Park the last couple of seasons, I HIGHLY suggest that you go back and catch up.
South Park has always been great, but they have abso-fucking-lutely crushed it since season 18. I had never heard the term cisgender until they used it to tackle the trans bathroom debate two years before it was actually a debate. But Season 19 was the best satire in the history of ever for the insane PC/SJW world we're living in now.
Season 20 appears to be continuing that trajectory. Starts tonight.
Oh my God I cannot overstate the greatness of this week's South Park.
Like I said the last couple of seasons have been fan-fucking-tastic.
Apparently there's not a thread for South Park. I did some searching and all I could find was Kaos bitching about how low brow and idiotic it is. This is the wrongest thing in a long list of wrong things you've wrongly been wrong as wrong about.
In all seriousness, I IMPLORE you to at least watch all of last season and this season. Really should go back two seasons prior if you're up to it.
I promise you'll like it. It's very obviously not what you apparently think it is. I'm not kidding when I say the BEST satire in the 21st century. Better than The Onion ever dared to be.
If you watched a few episodes in the late 90's and haven't watched since, I promise you it is an entirely different animal. The crassness that is there is a veneer.
This week in one episode they slammed Trump & Hillary (giant douche vs. turd sandwich), the Kaepernick controversy, Politically Correct reboots, BlackLivesMatter, and more.
This season is gonna be greatness.

Woke up way too early this morning and while flipping channels, got my fill of media bias. Just posted in the political forum on CNN's bullshit. Now, I can come here and say that ESPN can suck a canker sore covered, AIDS infected goat dick. Yeah, I'm going to continue to watch because that's where 90% of my TV sports comes from. But, the morning Sports Center has become a mish-mash of unrecognizable, minimally talented talking heads. I have no idea who any of them are and there's zero appeal to the format...and I know the format.
This morning, they showed a clip from an interview with Tony La Russa, where the former Cards manager ripped Colon Craperdink, saying he'd never allow that from any of his players and also said Craperdink has always been all about himself until lately, now that he's just a back up player. After the clip, all 4 of the useless hosts took turns lighting into La Russa for his opinion.
It's Sports Center!!! Report on the sports and leave your opinions at home. But, I guess it's clear that what they said is the official ESPN stance because if you say something "outside the lines", they'll send you packing in a heartbeat.

And yes, I'm gonna' watch me some South Park.

Saw the same thing.
Shame you missed the "special report on hazing" on ESPussyN where some prune-faced mommy part who's never played competitive sports tried to claim that athletes are all closet homosexuals who sodomize each other with broomsticks to vent their frustration and maintain their masculinity.
The bitch claimed to be a "hazing expert." She knows NOTHING about male behavior. Just another symptom of the pussification of America.
Fuck her.
She advocates "standing up" to coaches who don't play kids or do things "you don't think are fair."
FUCK her.

We're just going to disagree about that. I don't think Jon Stewart or Colbert or Bill Mahr or any of the people you swear by are brilliant or genius. I think they are smarmy assholes who are about as wrong as anybody can be about most topics.
I also find South Park to be crass, vulgar and sacreligious. I've tried to watch it a few times and I feel like I need to go to church 15 minutes in. It offends my sensibilities (not an easy thing to do) no matter how "awesome" you think it is.

To go along with hazing...
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/14/politics/marine-recruit-death/index.html
Documents disclose alleged Marine hazing at Parris Island
A Marine drill instructor at Parris Island, South Carolina, was under investigation for allegations of mistreating enlistees when he was inappropriately sent back to a new job dealing with recruits, one of whom, a Muslim, died during basic training in what the Corps has ruled a suicide, military documents show.
The drill instructor is alleged to have ordered another Muslim recruit into an industrial clothes dryer as punishment in 2015, several months before Raheel Siddiqui died after leaping from a stairwell at Parris Island after allegedly being abused by the drill instructor.
Siddiqui had threatened suicide in the days before he died, but may not have received appropriate treatment, investigators found.
CNN and other news organizations on Wednesday reviewed hundreds of pages of redacted documents detailing three investigations into abuse allegations at Parris Island.
The drill instructor has not been identified by the Marines because the service is now considering charges against him and as many as 19 others. Some of those could be criminal charges leading to a court martial, two defense officials told CNN.
The documents detail repeated incidents -- including the one with the dryer -- such as slapping and hitting recruits, and making them do activities from stress positions, all alleged hazing.
The Muslim recruit who was put in the dryer has not been identified, but according to the documents and as first reported in The Washington Post, he suffered burns. Several Marines were subjected to ethnic or homophobic slurs, including Marines assumed to be Muslim being questioned by more senior Marines about whether they were terrorists, the documents say.
Investigation found physical and verbal abuse
Three "command-level investigations" concluded Siddiqui committed suicide, the Marines said last week. But Siddiqui's family has told CNN affiliate WDIV in Detroit its strongly doubts he killed himself.
The 20-year-old from Michigan died March 18.
The Marines recommended a number of changes, including mandatory suspension of personnel investigated for abusing or hazing recruits and increased officer oversight of training.
Last week's statement said some commanders and senior enlisted advisers were relieved of duty and some drill instructors were suspended.
CNN's Keith Allen and Steve Almasy contributed to this report.
"making them do activities from stress positions." Shit, I guess I was hazed multiple times a day.

Link to where I said Stewart, Colbert, Maher are brilliant or geniuses.
I respect(ed) what they do, but South Park is next level. And they clearly attack things from the right, which is unique and rare in mainstream comedy. If you don't like South Park, you should like South Park given your politics. You very obviously have the entirely wrong idea about what the show even is.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember them tackling religion (at least not the only one you would have been upset about, yours) in like 15 years at least. Scientology, Islam, Mormonism, maybe Catholicism? A couple of episodes out of the nearly 300 deal with those.
-
I'm no South Park aficionado, but out of the ones I've seen, the Michael Jackson (Jefferson) episode is some top shelf humor. They just punish MJ.
-
I can appreciate that some people don't like their humor in the adult cartoon platform, but Southpark has gone harder at the left wing/liberal/PC crowd than anyone I've seen. Really they attack everything stupid in this country.
-
Also, lil Wayne is getting hammered for saying he's never dealt with racism in his entire life and believes the mellinials are slowly bringing racism to a halt.

Would they dare take on BLM?

As I mentioned, they did in episode one of this season, and forshadowed that it's going to be the central focus of the season. That picture Godfather posted is not one of his famous photofarks, btw. That's from the episode.

WHAT THE FUCK, over?
We already have an Air Force. Chesty is rolling in his grave.
The wash out rate of Marine boot camp is about 12% which is significantly lower than what it was when I was in. At least in our cycle. (We started with 106 in the platoon and graduated 64) Not sure about the other three platoons in training cycle but I think it was about the same) This tells me that we are already letting a lot more folks through that would not have made it.
Awwwww, little baby got put in a dryer.
There was a laying of hands on someone? Get out of here!
Fuck I'm glad I live on a hill with a good fields of fire.

Circling back to the original topic.
Did anyone see the interview with the leather-faced, bieberrry soccer lesbian bitch who refused to stand for the anthem while playing for the NATIONAL team in an international competition?
What a clueless, entitled mommy part drizzle. If she's unwilling to stand for the anthem while representing the country, she should be removed from the fucking team.
Also saw a poll where 31% of the country supports people like her and Cumperdink. Getting rid of all of them would be a good start to solving some of the overcrowding problems. There are plenty of places in the world they can go. In six months they'd be dead because they can't support themselves and don't have the government to bail them out. Or they'd be begging to be allowed to come back and would agree to worship the flag and sing the anthem at the top of their lungs.

Before the end of this season I will wager that some college team will demand that that SSB is no longer played or they won't play. And the University will cave. I fully expect the WBNA to in act that also.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Hell, the band of one University said they were going to sit. I believe one of the ESPN channels decided to not show that game. For Kaepernik he is expressing one of the freedoms that we have, I don't necessarily agree with him and I stand at attention for the anthem. I don't agree that he needs to leave for exercising his rights, because that's what I and other men and women helped fight for...the freedom to do just that. I've yet to hear him say that he hates it here, so with that in mind, maybe he feels his protest will bring awareness to the issue. I honestly don't think it's a race issue, but maybe more of a lack of proper training, recruitment, or lack of diagnosing PTSD in some officers...I don't know. I will say, it has gotten people to talk about it.

The only thing it has done is bring people to talk about his right to disrespect the flag and those who fought and died to protect his right to be an asshole, who is only doing this for the pussy. Fuck Colon Kraperdink and everything he's done to further divide this country.

My feelings on this might shock you, I have given a lot for this country, served, been away from family members, been in countries that I could not even pronounce.
He has a right to do what he his doing.
Now on the other side I have the right to not piss on him if he was on fire. He a douche of the highest order. I see where little league teams are now kneeling before games cause their coaches want to protest, folks like that are simply making this a black and white issue. If I was the coach of the other team I would pull my team from the game, yes, forfeit. They don't want to respect the flag, I have rights too.
Come February if I am at an event and they want the crowd the stand to honor something in black history month.
I am going to plop dead on my ass and hope I get others to follow.

I say again, that what Kraperdink has started, has done zero to make race relations better and only served to widen the divide in this country. To be clear, no one can really question his, or anyone else's right to "protest" in that manner. However, people need to understand and recognize that the manner in which he has chosen to do so is highly offensive and disrespectful to not a minority, but a huge faction of our society. But unfortunately, we've come to a point in that same society where only minorities have the right to be offended.
I saw an article last week where a restaurant owner made a doormat out of a Kraperdink jersey. In reading it, I only got as far as seeing the comments from one "former" patron who said he found that offensive and accused the owner of racism. Now, admittedly I stopped reading and did not continue to see the owner's motivation behind his actions. But let's assume for a second that it was due to the obvious reason of being offended by Kraperdink's manner of protest and his interpretation that it's disrespectful to the flag and our country. The problem is that any push back against that is automatically deemed as racist and an affront to minorities.
It's just getting worse by the day.

There is no constructional dialogue with many blacks. It is all about color first. The oppression fabricated by the media is upheld at a level of misinformation that I have not seen in years. If you try to refute it in any way, you are racist and do not understand due to your white privilege. Or you are referred to as a typical southern white male, but that's not racist.
I am waiting for the ignorant to join the black panthers and declare war.

I feel its getting worst on a national level basically once again fueled by MSM. To the everyday Joe its just something to shake our head at. Dude across the street from me is black, we hang out, watch football and drink beer, our color doesn't mean anything to either one of us. We are both Ex-military. He thinks CK is a shitbag. He said it just perfectly, " If the guy leading your protest is making 19 million a year he has no rights in regards to being oppressed"

The fact that you would even concern yourself with something that is none of your business shows how much of a racist you really are. I truly think that you only "care" when it comes to winning money for yourself or your white cronies.
Colin would kick your ass in short order.

Bruce Pearl folks....
http://www.al.com/auburnbasketball/index.ssf/2016/10/auburn_basketball_team_plans_different_protest_stand_national_athem.html
In light of the silent protests taking place across the sports landscape started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem, SEC men's basketball coaches and athletic directors discussed how they wanted to handle such protests, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Bruce Pearl has discussed the protests with Auburn's men's basketball team, whose 13 scholarship players are all African-American, and the players plan to "find a different way to protest" rather than do something during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner before games.
"We're going to continue to stand out for the anthem," junior guard TJ Lang said. "We're going to find a different way to protest and acknowledge the problem that's going on. Just standing, it kind of means a little bit more just with our troops and everything.
"We have people (in the program) who have family that are in the military, in the armed forces who give their life for that flag, so it kind of means a little bit more to us than the police brutality-type deal. I feel like as a team we're coming together, we're going to find a different way to protest, whether it is wearing something or going out in the community and just trying to raise awareness."
Pearl is not one to shy away from weighing in on social or political issues.
The third-year Auburn coach consistently tweets about conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine.
Pearl's had speakers from various backgrounds speak with his team, from basketball Hall of Famers Karl Malone and Charles Barkley, to alleged rape victim Brenda Tracy, to military and law enforcement personnel.
He is continuing to have discussions with Auburn's players about how they intend to address issues that concern them.
"I'm confident that we as a team will respect the flag," Pearl said. "My teams always have stayed out for the national anthem and my teams did it way before 9/11; since I've been a head coach we've always done it. It's sort of been one of our team rules. Yet I recognize the First Amendment, the freedom of speech and understand the possibilities exist.
"But our team is going to honor the flag and we're talking about ways that we can bring awareness through other forms of community service and even protest about the challenges that our young African-Americans face regarding profiling and some of the challenges that law enforcement experience. Our kids have a heightened awareness, as they should."

Bammers continuous surprise me with their ignaorance of American History. Perhaps real men should leave the country to those pussies who call themselves liberals and leave it to those stoopid young entitlist (sp: isn't a word yet) fucks that seem dead-set on screwing up the Republic. Screw the bammer not standing for the National Anthem and screw their offspring.
