Donald Trump To NFL Protests
In the article Trump to “NFL Protests: Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable” by Caroline Kenny, the author explains that Donald Trump used a very harsh language against the NFL players that took a knee during the national anthem. In the article “Seahawks, Titans, Steelers Stay in Locker Rooms during National Anthem as More Players Protest” by Katherine Iam, the author will explain the same thing and also states how Donald Trump kept tweeting about the NFL players that knelt during the national anthem and said that all the players need to be fired and wanted them to get out of the field. I personally believe that standing for the flag should not be mandatory especially in the U.S., because it is known as a country where

    's Not Only Unpatriotic, It's Ignorant, By Kris Kobach

    The take a knee movement is not the first protest the National Anthem has seen, it is just the latest in a long history of “unpatriotic behavior.” Perhaps the most infamous protest was a result of the black power salute held by Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, “they didn’t [take a knee]. Instead they raised a fist” (Brown). The Civil Rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s were a time of upheaval for various minority groups of American society, including the black rights movement. Holding a fist instead of placing a hand over the heart got the gold and bronze medals respectively strip from Smith and Carols, for calling attention to real problems that still exist in our country. These brave men “wore beads and a scarf to protest lynchings. And when the national anthem was played, they lowered their heads in defiance and raised their fists in a Black Power salute that rocked the world” (Brown). These acts of defiance have set a stage for other individuals to speak out again the injustice plaguing our society. The downplay of such circumstances is unpatriotic and inhumane, more so than refusing to stand during the National…

    Argumentative Summary: Are We Being Protected?

    Rather than fines and later game suspensions, the NFL should enforce in game benching. This rule would force a player to sit out for the rest of the game if they gave an illegal hit. This would make coaches much wearier and force them to coach their players about legal hits. The NFL should also do more than just punishments of other players but they should speak with sports networks that often show these illegal hits in their top plays. Sportcenter on ESPN is an example that has a segment in their show called “SC Top 10”. Many time illegal hits have been shown on this top 10 because they are glorified by fans and considered jaw-dropping. The NFL has worked with these networks about fans that streak during games, so they should work with them on illegal hits. By doing so these hits won’t be given much attention and eventually lose…

    Colin Kaepernick's Controversy

    These actions were viewed in all different way and from all different types of people. From your everyday fan to players, coaches, owners and even the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. And not everyone was in favor of Kaepernick choice to protest during the National Anthem. “I agree that America is not perfect. I agree that there are a lot of issues with minorities in this country. And I agree that we should do something about it. But I don't know if the most effective way is to sit down when the National Anthem of a country that has provided you freedom and is provided you $60 million a year is the best way to do it, when there are black minorities that are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan that are protecting our freedom for less than $20,000 a year” (Alejandro Villanueva, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman, Aug. 29, 2016). But the biggest moment during the last 13 months happened on September 22 2017 when president Donald Trump stated “Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects the flag, to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He's fired. He's fired”. This single quote would spark outrage…

    Assault In Football Research Paper

    Yes, I absolutely agree a football team should permanently remove a player accused of assault. Assault is a serious crime in America, and is not looked lightly upon. Although for some reason, Americans want to turn their heads away from a star athlete being accused for this horrible crime. My reasons for agreeing to remove a player are: football is glorified in America, assault is a horrible crime, and American’s morals are going out the window.…

    Shirley Jackson Argument

    In the document “Texas V. Johnson” that statement is demonstrated. “Texas v. Johnson” is a formal document of the court’s opinion on the burning the flag. On lines 37-39 it says, “The way to preserve the flag's special role is not to punish those who feel differently about these matters. It is to persuade them that they are wrong.” Even though the court had stated in lines 26-31 “We are tempted to say, in fact, that the flag's deservedly cherishes place in our community will be strengthened, not weakened,” The court did not punish Johnson for his actions of burning the flag because even if the court does not agree with him, they also believe “...nobody can suppose that this one gesture of an unknown man will change our Nation's attitude towards its flag…” (Lines 17- 19). In “Texas v. Johnson” the court may not agree with Johnson, but they do not punish him. Although he was being disrespectful, he did not break any laws. Additionally, in this document Brennan stated, “We decline, therefore, to create for the flag an exception to the joust of the principles protected by the first amendment.” (Page 15, Lines 1-2) Again, you should persuade them that they are wrong to burn the flag over compulsion, because our flag is founded on…

    An Analysis Of Donald Trump's Protests

    Every debate has at least two sides and the current political issues are no exception. The main political issue that faces us today is professional athletes refusing to stand for the National Anthem. One way to view the these protest is from the view of the athletes. Colin Kaepernick was the first athlete to take a knee when the National Anthem was sung. He did this to bring attention to several African Americans were shot by the police. He believes the flag stands for oppression, not freedom. However there is another way to view these protests. Some believe these protests today are because of the President, Donald Trump's political views. Trump believes in making the country alienated from hostile countries like Mexico, Syria, and North…
