Protest where no one can see you?

We get it. You only want change if its easy and doesn't get in your way.

Colin Kaepernick has 2.4 million Twitter followers. I am sure he can find a way to be seen without protesting at his workplace.

So only protest to the people that want to see it?

Keep digging that hole.

Capitalization offended you? So fragile.

This comes from someone who is offended by just about anything said, peaceful protests, silent kneeling, you name it. Typical.

Well, wrap yourself in the "Anthem" and enjoy.

And order everyone their t-shirts!

OK, since people keep responding to me. I will respond as well.

I thought national anthem was capitalized, but I was wrong. Star Spangled Banner is capitalized though so whatever point you were trying to make was kind of flimsy.

https://adebayothevoice.com/qa/do-you-capitalize-the-national-anthem.html

And I think it is funny that you and others try and mock my t-shirt idea when "Black Lives Matter" t-shirts are being worn to share a message and the NBA has similar messages on their jerseys.

Wearing messages on your clothing is not some crazy lame idea I dreamt up.

No one has a First Amendment right to protest at work.

That is not a hole, but a fact.

And yet its allowed by their bosses - and you still have a problem with it.

We get it. You're all for change. Just as long as you don't have to see it happen or be affected by it in any way.

You and KG should start a club.

Oh I think there are clubs already in existence that would be a great fit for them. No need to start a new one.

Yeah I should join the KKK right DF. Or how about the Nazi Party. I'm a huge supporter of both of those.
That was sarcasm in case you didn't figure it out.
I'm the most anti racist Native American, Caucasian and Asian mixed person who's married to an Asian who's lived in the inner city of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, who has best friends of all races and ethnicity that you will ever meet. I've fought racism in my own life by accepting persons of all ethnicity. I've dated White, Black, Native, and Asian. The people Brad refers to as "THEM" I refer to as "US".

The Vikings did indeed go to Riley Reiff yesterday in an attempt to restructure his contract, as
@ChadGraff
pointed out, and Reiff did not practice yesterday. I’m hearing they gave him the day to think it over before they would opt to release him and save $8 million.

Releasing him will prove to be a mistake. We can't afford to get weaker on the OL and mark my words releasing him will make us weaker on the OL.

Flipmazzi 🏈@Flipmazzi

75% of Riley Reiff’s pressures allowed occurred in playoff or divisional games.

He’s a fantastic LT when the stakes are low.

Restructuring is a waste. I imagine it will be a Griffith situation; pay cut and opt out. Why would Reiff agree to this? Next year the market might be brutal for veterans and it will only save us a few million this year.

If Oneil and Udoh are our Ts, we still have tons of depth in Hill, Ezra, and even Collins and Dozier.

I think Bill proposed the lineup I would go with:

Hill/Ezra, Best of the rest, Bradbury, Udoh, Oneil.

We still have a ton of line flexibility. In the above - I'd also cut Elf, but that's never gonna happen.

Idt he's exactly that important. He certainly isn't worth no 13.2ml.

I listened to Flipmazi twice. Two times too many. Stefon Diggs is his hero. Interesting stat, but ridiculously small sample size.

It was not allowed by their bosses last time. If it is this time, they obviously can do it. Either way, it would not be a First Amendment protected right.

And I have nothing against KG, but I will stand on my own opinions, thanks.

I need a club just as about as much as any of the passionate people that are replying to me need one. You know, the people that keep implying people are racist because they would prefer NFL players not kneel for the national anthem (look, Bill, no capitals!)..

Protests are great.

Choose the protests carefully though because some protests are more powerful and useful than others.

I think kneeling for the national anthem is a poor form of protest. I do not really see this opinion as being super controversial and deserving of the kind of hatred I, and others have experienced. And, yes, I think being called/implied a racist is hateful.

I cannot be more clear on this, but I think it has been lost by all of the responses

"Best" is singular, so you can only have one best friend.

Yours, apparently, is Neopolitan.

I think Reiff isn't effective at Guard; thus the problem.
