Plenty of people on this forum where saying that he had no valid reason to protest and that he shouldn't be doing it at American football games. Not everyone is going to agree with what you are protesting about but a lot of forumites also took exception to the way he was protesting..

Yes. He had no valid reason to protest. His protest was stupid and yes he shouldn't have done it at football games.

He was perfectly free to protest on his own time. Maybe outside the stadium or something.

Except most of them wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to SA’s anthem.

Most conservative are raised to respect things like anthems and flags. So even if they think the ANC are completely fskingup our country, they still stand respectfully for the anthem.

Not at all, it just seems some people on this forum don't think any form of public protest is justified.... If you try and prevent and denounce peaceful protests that have no effect on anyone else why are you surprised when people resort to violent protests?

I don't see these as protests. I see it as criminal behavior and the sad thing is the people trying to find justification for it.

There too. Whatever would make him happy.

I'm also not allowed to expres my political views whilst at work. It's a thing, my company try and represent themselves as apolitical.

I agree there is a lot of criminal behavior thrown in but do you really think it would have got this far if people like Trump and Pence has been more accepting of people protesting peacefully?

So you agree that Kapearnick should have been allowed to carry on with his peaceful protest at NFL games?

Your views on Isrea Folau would probably show you to be a hypocrite.

I said stand respectfully. They do that for all parts. Some never bothered to learn the words (if they are over 45 and didn't have it at school)so they mumbled along and get more exited if they actually get to the part they know.
 
A civil protest can be based on objective reasoning. If the cop walks then protest in a civil manner. With an example like the current situation there will be massive support. But this rubbish is simply going unsupported for reason.

You can also arrange a mass protest with the intent for government to focus on police brutality and cops getting lighter or no sentence for murderous behaviour. Respect the good cops. This can be done and will receive my support.

Instead what you see is BLM banners which suggests racial motivation from the protesters. So no that will incite counter protests.

You see fires, looting, cars being destroyed etc… No that is criminal and affects innocent individuals.

Just point me to the part on Kapaernick's contract where he agreed to act a certain way during the singing of the national anthem...
