  Why the NFL Protest Is a Massive and Insulting Failure

  i think everyone has the freedom to protest, they also have freedom of speech, these are two fundamental things that make america amazing.

  but thinking rationally about what is going on with the nfl, therefore, i have an unfavorable opinion of the league, and the players, not their right to free speech, but their motive and execution of it.

  constitutional freedom to protest ends at the workplace door too.

  @flipper: causes precede effects. The order was NOT : 1) Trump calls player sons of bitches, 2) played take knee.

  Trump didn't start this. Kaepernick did. A year ago. Based on lies.

  @Brokeback: not "who". Rather, "what". "What perspective"

  Answer: The objective one. The one that isn't racially charged. The one backed up by facts instead of "feels".

  The more I think about this, the more unlikely this guy's story is. He was looking at this lady's backup set specifically - then he comes across these pics and has to dream up some excuse : "oh yeah, we were just looking for ... ummm ... the cheque register... yeah that's it."

  Wait.... he confronted her about the pics several times in private?? Yeah, this guy is a stalker and probably wanted to fool around on the side too. She turned him down.

  Yep... horn dog.

  @Brokeback: blacks are not being hunted. It's not an interpretation. It's not happening. The stats don't bear it out. Not even close.

  I got that these players have their own world view. OK. No problem. However, their world view (in this case) is like having the "view" that 2+2 = 5.

  It is corrupt human reasoning. It is not honorable. It is incorrect.

  But Brokeback - the point is: that's not happening. It is propoganda. Whites are more likely to be shot and killed (because cops are extra careful around blacks). It's just like the pussy hat protests that were for women's rights when everyone knows full well that women have all the rights of men.

  In any case, any fatal shooting by a police officer is not "policy".

  And even though it is a nonsensical protest, you don't see laws being passed or Orange Hitler cracking skulls. Trump isn't censoring anyone.

  This is all leftist nonesense.

  @Brokeback:

  Questions:

  In this case, what government policies are being protested?

  In this case, what sort of government censorship has there been?

  Why were there pictures of this woman's affair on the bank's backup drives?

  I assume it is because the woman has a work PC on the network and the bank backs up all files from all workstations...

  But if that is true, then the elder would have to go into the backup specifically for this woman's machine - not some general search for a cheque register. Doesn't seem right.

  Why do people take pictures of their affairs? And why store these at work of all places?!

  So weird.

  Perhaps the protest message would be cleared up a bit if the players wore pussy hats while they took a knee.

  This is all leftist nonsense.

  Karl Marx Genius Of The Modern World

  So I've thought about this more... Marx did get it wrong when he thought that people could be forced (or would all be willing) into adopting socialism. Socialism requires people to change how they think about things and what they value. Forcing this to happen is a bad idea.

  I agree it is not a good idea. The only way to force stuff like that is "re-education" camps. Or just gunning the dissidents down as they try to run away.

  But my main point is that it doesn't matter even if everyone got along and *wanted* to be communists/socialists.

  Independent of the incentive problem is the calculation problem. As soon as you remove free market prices, you lose information needed to allocate resources. The population of a communist country could be quite sincere. It doesn't matter. The economy will fail.
