  1. What a huge false equivalency Kyle. Colin Kaepernick is silently kneeling (as a compromise because he was first sitting on the bench and someone told him kneeling would be more "respectful") and then on the other hand you have Alex Jones who literally incites acts of domestic terrorism. However, here you have ZERO people on the right defending Colin Kaepernick and he still doesn't have a job in the NFL, so that battle is essentially lost, but then you have certain people on the left defending Alex Jones and giving him more power to make it seem like he's the victim. People on the left dislike Alex Jones because he's a fucking monster and charlatan, while people on the right hate Colin Kaepernick and any NFL players because they won't stand up for a song. I'm tired of this ridiculous discussion it's like we're living in the twilight zone where even a person like Kyle apparently thinks these two thinks are equal in "principle".

  2. +Elite 1984 - Yeah pretty much. It's the same reason why we found out last week that it has actually been 75% of leftist professors who have been getting suppressed on college campuses while Prager U and all that shit pretends the SJWs are the real threat to the world. They cry and scream about the left and then the left gives in so the overton window shifts more to the right. I'm not saying that being principled is a bad thing at all, I'm just saying objectively it is why the "centrists" in this country seem to be moderate right-wingers nowadays, while someone like Bernie Sanders, who would be a moderate in European countries, is considered this Marxist extreme leftist in America who is disdained by all of the right and moderate leftists/centrists.

  3. They're not even equal situations in my opinion, but you have a questionable free speech issue with Alex Jones where he was breaking the terms and services for years and several people on the left come to his defense. Then you have an actual free speech issue where the president is pressuring a private company to infringe on the rights of players who are breaking NO rules in the NFL and literally no one on the right is defending people like Kaepernick. This is why the left is losing the culture war.

  4. One has been literally charged in court for inciting acts of domestic terrorism while the other won't stand for a song. I'm tired of people pretending those two things are the same.

  5. It's increasingly frustrating when he does this. Another point that bolsters your argument even more is the fact that the NFL situation is more of a free speech issue because you have the government and president of the United States pressuring these companies to infringe on the rights of the players otherwise these owners would not even be thinking about setting any "rules" for the players. In the case of Colin Kaepernick, he was not breaking any NFL rules by kneeling yet was fired anyways, whereas you have Alex Jones who has been bending the rules and violating the terms and services of social media platforms for years and they finally banned him just as social media has done for thousands of people in the past who break the terms and services agreement. This is a HUGE false equivalency by claiming these two things are "equal" especially when you consider the differences in character and how one has literally incited acts of domestic terrorism while the other refused to stand for a song.

  6. Kyle, those two things are not the same, on one hand you the government and the president putting pressure on these private companies to infringe on the rights of the players who are literally just kneeling for a song and Colin Kaepernick broke No NFL rules when he knelt. Whereas, you have Alex Jones who is charged with inciting acts of domestic terrorism and who was banned for breaking the terms and conditions of these companies several times over. The government was not stepping in to ban Alex Jones, yet they did so with Colin Kaepernick who was not even breaking any rules with the company. These things are NOT equal, stop pretending like that is the case Kyle.

  7. They're both issues with private companies except in one case you have the government and president putting pressure on a private company to infringe on the rights of the players for not standing for a song. There was no government intervention with social media platforms, they banned Jones simply because he broke the rules, whereas Colin Kaepernick never broke the rules and no rules were ever even being proposed by the owners until president thin skin started bitching about it on a daily basis.

  8. +Shawn Brink - Did you not just watch the video? Donald Trump and the government by extension is still, to this day, putting political pressure on the NFL to infringe the rights of the players. When the president of the United States constantly tweets out harassment and direct/indirect threats on the league backed by McPatriotism he is doing the exact same thing they did to Colin Kaepernick. It is clearly not just Colin Kaepernick as you're claiming. The fact that the POTUS is doing all this makes this a free speech issue because none of those NFL players were even breaking rules already set by the league, whereas the government was not interfering in the Alex Jones dispute, and he WAS breaking the terms and services of those social media platforms, he had been doing it for years. I'm doing the opposite of "generalizing" everyone on both sides here, because they're totally different disputes. Also, I don't ever recall Bernie Sanders making up conspiracy theories about Steve Scalise having a child sex ring in his basement do you? In fact, I remember Bernie Sanders immediately talk about how he was disgusted and horrified by the news and condemned it in the strongest possible way, whereas I'm sure Trump would say "there were good people on both sides".

  9. I always seem to find myself wishing that he would spontaneously combust on live air.

  10. Even if your statement was true, Kaepernick was getting the salary of a professional NFL player. He put his job and career on the line to give awareness to a serious problem in the US.

  11. Andrew Kozlawski is right. The problem is that you have the president and essentially the government constantly putting pressure on a private company, the NFL, to infringe on the rights of those players who are literally just kneeling for a song, while on the other hand you have Alex Jones who has been charged in a court of law for inciting acts of domestic terrorism. No government official did anything to force Alex Jones to get banned and it wasn't even like there was a public petition to get him banned. He was banned for violating the terms of service of those companies whereas Colin Kaepernick did not violate any NFL rules and was simply fired because the president is a whiny snowflake bitch.

  12. Wow what an incredibly weak argument.
