What's your opinion of sports stars political opinions?

  1. They should shut-up and play. Only talk show hosts can express opinions

    Thinking outside of the box ...

    What if people had to pass an IQ test in order to make public statements or to speak publicly.

    The WH and MSM would be decimated.

    LOL the "hands up don't shoot" chant was literally nonsense. It was an outright lie to push a narrative and apparently you bought it hook, line, and sinker if you are trying to suggest that it wasn't nonsense.

    If I have to listen to groups like the KKK actively try to recruit people near my alma matter, then professional athletes have the right to voice their political opinions.

    Yeah, I was being sarcastic with the indignant responses talking heads like Ingrahm try to peddle

    The ones who were offended have severe perseuction complexes.
    I've never seen such a triggered group of humans than some of my fellow veterans. Pretty disappointed.
