Do parents here find it acceptable that the women call each others "b-----", like the women apparently do? If so, is it ok for a man address a woman that way?

Also, do MR really think people will take her seriously when drops the F-bomb almost every time she had a mike in front of her they won?

I personally don't monitor the terms or phrases my kids use that closely, but I've always told them to be careful in the words they use, and direct words or terms at others that they wouldn't want directed back at them.

Also, if the US is so bad, that MR has to be forced to stand for the anthem and will not sing it (apparently again ever according to her), why would you play for that team? Why would you rep a uniform (country) that you believe treats so many so poorly?

If she really wanted to make a point, she would have made the team and resigned to show point. That's a sacrifice.

And yes, I'm a middle aged man --- I don't care about their sexual orientation, I don't care that they believe they are serious problems with this country, I don't care that they don't Trump or don't want to go to the White House, I don't care who they vote for, but I do think they could represent themselves and the country better, and show some humility.

You simply are not interested in knowing or understanding why she is protesting DURING the National Anthem. And no matter how many times you have been told that she or Kaepernick are not protesting the anthem but trying to raise awareness for social injustice. People like you who are so bothered by the protest need to hear the reasons the most but it’s simply lost on you.

And who the hell are you to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do during a song. [/quote]

My comments above stand, but it shouldn't be a surprise that I don't like her not standing for the anthem --- I don't.
And, bad behavior is still bad behavior --- I notice you didn't address any of that.

As I stated, I'm fully willing to accept there issues that believe need addressing. But you stand for the anthem which represents the country that allows to have a voice and say what you believe --- even with all its warts. Others teams (countries) stood and sang (sometimes very emotionally) their anthems because of what it meant.

And what people like you don't understand is that I'm fully allow to have an opinion on other people's action, and the same freedom that allows them to take the action allows me to find it distasteful and inappropriate, and to state my position as well.

I completely agree with your last point that you are fully allowed to have an opinion on other's behaviors (such as some of the ones you mention above: not celebrating a championship with "humility," cursing in interviews or at victory parades, or protesting the national anthem by not singing it or by kneeling or raising a fist during it), and that you are also fully allowed to voice your opinion.

I would just hope that you have voiced your opposition to these behaviors when [b]men[/b] engaged in these behaviors, because there are countless examples of NFL, college football, men's college basketball, NBA, NHL, etc. players taking political stands, supporting various social justice issues, supporting foreign governments opposed to the US (e.g., Ovechkin), cursing in public at victory parades, taunting opponents, not celebrating championships with "humility," etc.
