Quoted from dgoett:**have to say the kneeling for the anthem is the reason. They won't let you out unless that's the reason given.
Good info!
Really? No 'good people on both sides', like the confederate flag protests in Charlottesville? Yeah it's not about race at all. /s
*and they're kneeling because they respect everything the flag represents, its just that they aren't getting the 'equal' status. And it's peaceful. Being black though... Yeah better cancel. /s
Quoted from Deez:Deleted post
Yeah racism triggers me. Not watching someone kneel. Go look in a mirror.

Well when everyone to the right of Jane fonda is a nazi, or so we are told is really the problem. But you keep up the good fight man, it's clear you're winning. Pfft

Settle down Butthead!
Ok I guess I will delete this thread, I didn't think it would go this way. Man this world is ugly now.
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:Jeez I didn't start nothing. Just mentioned the refund. Everyone calm down or take a Valium.
You are gonna bring this up in every thread you post in I take it?
It's not about the "ugly world." It's about posting about THE single most hot-button political issue this week on a board where political discussion is prohibited, and then feigning shock when it "gets ugly." PLease consider that in the future, we are all trying to do our best here.
Quoted from Wickerman2:ITMFA
Close thread, you are ruining pinsiders that I might buy a game from some day.
Nah, I'd honestly still deal with virtually anybody on Pinside. Business is business!
It does say should stand right? So technically they aren't breaking the rules? If it said MUST stand, then they could be fined I guess.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Nah, I'd honestly still deal with virtually anybody on Pinside. Business is business!
Right? You can call me whatever you want as long as the deal is good!
Quoted from Chitownpinball:Right? You can call me whatever you want as long as the deal is good!
Based on previous polling, I would estimate 70 percent of Pinsiders have different political convictions than I do. Seems silly to refuse to deal with them.
Quoted from rai:I think what the Steelers and Mike Tomlin did was a discrace.
Fascinating.
Quoted from homebrood:Shut this down! So tired of hearing about this!
There is a drain option
Quoted from BoJo:Screw the NFL. NHL season starts in a week.
100%, most patriotic athletes you will ever meet!
In before the lock, but I want to say my piece.
I have no issues with any NFL player that has an issue with what is going on in America, our leadership, our police, racism, whatever. What I have issue with is using the National Anthem of the United States of America and the U.S Flag as the platform for demonstration. The NFL should have stepped in an disallowed any of this this the 1st time Kapernick took a knee. Victims of their own circumstance.
Quoted from rai:I think what the Steelers and Mike Tomlin did was a discrace.
They were not the only team who didn't go on the field. Seahawks and Titans didn't either.

Wish she wouldn't have called out a specific race as it was across the board this week but I found her findings interesting.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Fascinating.
Not sure what you mean?
I'm saying suppose x number of people on the team wants to protest. Tomlin seems to think that *all* should protest the anthem. It's like he is punishing a player who doesn't feel protesting the anthem is not his belief.
The thread was doing fine until someone started calling people racists for wanting to cancel. It's sad that the trigger to call people racists for having differing view points is so quick now. Personally I don't like the kneeling and don't care if they're white, brown, yellow, black or green.

Your spelling of disgrace is a disgrace to the word disgrace.
Quoted from BoJo:They were not the only team who didn't go on the field. Seahawks and Titans didn't either.
Tomlin put down a decorated war veteran because he didn't feel like participating in the protest.

I mean nobody here gives a shit about your banal opinion on this we've already read 1,000 times on Facebook. Why do you think we care what you or anybody else here thinks about this issue?
All I care about is how awesome the Redskins looked on Sunday, and there's an NFL thread for that. As for the other nonsense I'll express my opinion on it elsewhere where it belongs, and you should too.

I agree. I didn't even mention anything about race or nothing. Just the only fact that there was refunds. I never called anyone on pinside any names or anything. Off topic of pinball yes, but more time for pinball now on Sunday
Players kneeling for the anthem? Stupidity for stupid reasons, but it doesn't bother me and I don't care.
People cancelling nfl subscriptions or boycotting the NFL? Stupidity for stupid reasons but I don't care knock yourselves out.
Quoted from rai:Tomlin put down a decorated war veteran because he didn't feel like participating in the protest.
How did he put him down? He did the opposite and said Villanueva had nothing to apologize for. Guess you are just a bitter Ravens fan.

I think it's silly for these players to kneel and cry racism. They are in the top 1%. They have fans of all colors that wear their jersey. They have fans of all colors who would love to get a picture and autograph.
The NFL needs to realize that people watch sports to get away from politics.
