Matze if you are at a sporting event and Canada vs Germany is playing . You dont stand up for the national anthem ? of either countries ?
being a sports patriot is something different, I guess. I don't stand up for the anthem but I'm always cheering for the german team. anyway, that's not what ohhhhyesss meant.
I was not pointing to ohhhyess post . Just wanted to know your stance . Kaepernick is doing this at a sports event so it should mesh in with your view of being a sports patriot. I dont understand the point of always
cheering on the german team no matter what but not respecting the flag at said sporting event. Kinda like Im not gonna stand up for the anthem or flag of the country I was born in but Im gonna support the team representing your country
why the fuck would you have to stand up for anyones national anthem? and why would anyone care whether you do or not? i guess its easier to bitch about that than actually facing problems. the world is a weird place.
How about respect ?
1:During the Olympics Brazilians were booing other countries during the national anthems , flag raising and podiums . Do you think that is ok ?
2:What about that Egypt Judoka that didnt shake hands after being beaten by a Israeli Judoka . Is that ok ?
3:Do you think flag flag desecration is ok ?. For example Burning the flag of your or another country
4: Skating churches/Synagogues/ Mosques ? . Or lets say graffiti a churches/Synagogues/ Mosques ? .
5:desecration of grave stones or somebodies grave
I think those 5 are good examples of respect and tradition. Technically those 4 does not really do any bodily harm to anyone but all 4 are very disrespectful
Is Kaepernick really making things change ? are cops going to go " I was going to shoot this black guy and plant evidence on him but then I rememberd that 49ers QB sat on a bench during the national anthem so Im not gonna kill him "Shame we cant sit at a bar and have this discussion but oh well =(

Quotes fucked up, but my comment starts here:
Lot's of people here in Canada support European/African teams from the places of their birth even 2nd 3rd generations etc. during tournaments, but will say they left the country because it was fucked and they don't want to go back.
And why, would you even think anyone would think that? why even mention such a bizarre scenario?, If you want to show you aren't down with something, then show it. Doesn't matter if it changes the world or not, maybe he just is keepin it real?
