This is going to sound weird, I know, but I'm fascinated by Octavian's - not sure what to call them - socks? They go up to his knee, presumably to protect his legs, yet all his toes are exposed. Doesn't make sense to me.
And I like the turquoise color on the inside of his socks.
Yeah, I know. Weird.

There was a huge push at the time to depict classical subject-matter again, and a fast-developing belief that historical heroes were to be depicted as unemotional. It lifted these heroes up above the dirtiness of mere mortals, making them worthy of respect. Their deeds were done out of necessity and reason, not with gauche feelz.

This style had a huge influence on Jacques Louis David and his Neoclassicism. He won (finally) a scholarship to Rome and spent years copying the Old Masters and ancient works. That time also saw the early development of his later political ideas.

Well, he's all up in armor, so the greaves around his shins kind of follows. But he's not wearing the classic Roman military caligae (kind of a semi-enclosed sandal with heavy hobnailed soles). Wondering if it was thought to be vulgar for high-ranking Romans to wear caligae, except exclusively on the battlefield.
What's more likely is that, given all the other inaccuracies in the painting, the artist simply fucked up.

I think it probably depends more on the leadership: who are the owners and the leaders of the players? If the owners put up with the protests and there's a protest leader among the players then they're most likely going to take the knee. It would be interesting to see if some external group is organizing this.

simply by having it's players all stand at attention and show respect for the Flag and National Anthem.
And individuals say a few smart things about "gratitude" for the country which allows them to earn they living doing something they love when asked by the MSM.
Huge benefit at zero cost.
Thus, it would require a smart owner and team back office and more importantly smart players.
And thus, it will not happen.

But the NFL is insane if they think SJWs will replace white conservative men as their consumer base. SJWs have no interest in sports. In fact they loathe sports. It would be like GM telling its most loyal truck customers to fuck off and then market itself to Greenpeace or Sierra Club.

I talked to one of our nieces yesterday. Her dad, a YUUUUUGE football fan, called her and was ranting and raving about the NFL. He said that's it...he's done watching.
Anecdotal, to be sure but...I've seen YUUUGE football fans here and other places on the internet who are extremely pissed off about this and they, at least, claim they won't be watching anyone.
I think it will be a while before the fan anger is represented in the ratings though.

Well, he's all up in armor, so the greaves around his shins kind of follows. But he's not wearing the classic Roman military caligae (kind of a semi-enclosed sandal with heavy hobnailed soles). Wondering if it was thought to be vulgar for high-ranking Romans to wear caligae, except exclusively on the battlefield.
What's more likely is that, given all the other inaccuracies in the painting, the artist simply fucked up.

But I guess it's bad form to discuss it in context of people.

Lovecraft's the Lurking Fear was about a family that basically devolved into subterranean monsters due to inbreeding. Shadow Over Innsmouth was about intermarriage between humans and fish monsters, which also resulted in monsters. I guess the trick is to find the happy medium.

No one has ever said they have to participate either in singing or reciting a pledge or putting your hand on your heart. The kneeling and raising of the fist is an active political statement. It's not ambiguous. It is organized. No one here would be able to do that while doing their company's business.

The ancient Greek historian Plutarch said that she was no great beauty but that she had a nice voice, and the ability to charm men with her intellect. The bust they is attributed to her is certain to be modeled to make her look better, and she is also depicted on coins of the time. But those are unreliable because it said she was made to look more "manly" on the coins for PR purposes.

This is true. However, I don't know if NFL owners have given those orders. If they don't, or if they give or imply their permission, I don't see how the First Amendment would not apply. It is not illegal to sit down or otherwise not participate in the singing of the national anthem. We may not like it but I think it's within their rights.

The First Amendment applies when the context is government vs non-government.

If the owners don't care, or agree, or are otherwise oblivious, the players can say what they want, right? I mean, if upper management doesn't care, how would there be repercussions?
Posted by: grammie winger at September 25, 2017 10:57 AM (DLIpz)
Say what you want when you're off the field and out of uniform.
What you have here is a league assessment that this behavior is not hurting the NFL or team image among the audience they want to attract.
In which they're probably wrong, but...

That's some major league forgetting right there. They forgot so hard that they STILL can't do these things, to this very day.

There's that word again... teams.
Teams are things where many people come together, work in the same direction to accomplish some pre-determined goal, with the understanding that their shared desire for the same outcome will make no one person on the team value his or her personal goals above that of the team.
So... this whole thing... yeah. Not a team.

There are at least 3 NFL's.
1) the one that the fans see, in uniform, playing the game
2) the one the owner's see, as a bunch of employees that are paid to perform on the field
3) the one that the player's see, as a bunch of professional athlete's that aren't respected enough for their parade of dumb personal behaviors and dumb ideas.
There are, without a doubt, some really smart guys that play and have played football.
In the 1960's, the Brown's quarterback actually had a PhD in mathematics and taught at CWRU after he retired.
Paul Brown used to administer an intelligence test to potential players, because he didn't want stupid players on his team... they wouldn't read the playbook!
Having said that, there are also some monumental idiots playing too.

There are more than 1,500 active players in the NFL, so the odds are pretty good that a few of them are bright.
But I would argue that athletic intelligence is a very specific thing. QBs and OTs need to have nimble minds to see the defenses, but that might not translate to more conventional and useful intelligence off the field.
And judging by the number of retired athletes who are essentially destitute because they couldn't balance their checkbooks, not too many of them have transferable intelligence.

This is what I don't get. If the owners don't like, just fire anyone doing it. For every guy in the NFL there are a thousand guys, especially in the ghetto, who would give their left nut for a shot at playing there, and who are at least nearly as good, and in some cases, maybe better.
Fire these clowns, with the tacit agreement among the owners that no one else will sign them, and watch this crap go away.

Announcer, "Starting as center today for the New York Giants is Triggly Puff"
Posted by: Anna Puma
"Today's starting defensive line ... uh ... persons are Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Rosie O'Donnell, and [who's another porker?]"
"Starting at middle linebacker is, of course, Michelle Obama."
***
Have you watched the Giants play the first three games? Most of these player announcements would actually be an improvement. Although I would put Triggly Puff at left tackle in place of Ereck Flowers, not at Center. And Lena would be in as fullback and Michelle Obama as RB. I could definitely see Lena "plowing the field" and creating a huge hole for Michelle to slash through the line and scamper for 10-12 yards before she lowers her head and puts a vicious hit on the other team's DB.
Hate to say all that as I am a Giants fan. Also hate to say "Lena Dunham" and "plow" in the same sentence - but what can you do. At least the Giants make it easy for me to boycott. I hate MNF so I will not be watching and hate the Cowboys almost as I much as I hate Kaeperdick and Goodell - Oh here is a funny "Goddell is a dick" meme:

I would guess that there are very few linemen playing in the NFL from the Ivy League. I would guess that a big plurality would be from the SEC, Big 10 (or 14, but who's counting?), ACC, Big 12, PAC 10 ....the so-called "power conferences", which end up recruiting the biggest and fastest players anyway. College football sorts them out, so only a small percentage of the best college players actually play in the NFL.

Well, he's all up in armor, so the greaves around his shins kind of follows. But he's not wearing the classic Roman military caligae (kind of a semi-enclosed sandal with heavy hobnailed soles). Wondering if it was thought to be vulgar for high-ranking Romans to wear caligae, except exclusively on the battlefield.
What's more likely is that, given all the other inaccuracies in the painting, the artist simply fucked up.

True point ... but they do extend everywhere it is not forbidden by someone else (such ass an employer).
But this is a straw man argument because no one (of note) is saying they don't have free speech or that this is the issue.
The issue is with the NFL including in the ticket price, being "flipped off" by commie/leftist players calling middle class white fans bigots/racists etc.
That the NFL allows players to insult their patriotic fans is being called out.
It is the NFL that is choosing to make anti-America commentary part of their ticket price, just as the networks are doing to the viewers.
Trump has a good approach ... a team that wants fans, can fire the players that sit. (the team brand is a goofy thing anyway, since players come from everywhere, and move from team to team ... it's not like the Bears are all from Illinois or anything ... just random guys wearing a costume, and now they don't even pretend to like the fans)

From far and wide, O Canada
We got cut by NFL teams
O Canada - we got cut by our teams!

As a Giants fan, I always hated the 'boys, but i tip my cap to Jones for this.
The other guy I hate/respect , Bill Belichick has got to be burning up over all this.

Not allow. Insist upon it. This is an inspired idea.
Let the NFL know they can't go partial SJW, they gotta go the whole enchilada. Women, Hispanics, LGBTQ, trannies, the disabled, Muslims. We need quotas and affirmative action for major league sports. How many of the above are team owners? Don't tell me it's mostly white guys because that will not stand in today's woke world.
Organize protests at every game! Start picketing! Tell 'em to sing the national anthem in Spanish! Be inclusive, celebrate diversity! Show the bloody bike lock you used to break open a Trump supporter's head at the gate, and get a free beer pass!
Make 'em live by their retarded values.

Can't wait for the pink uniforms and pussy hat helmets.
Also rename the teams.
The San Francisco Swishers.
The Oakland Convicts.
The Los Angeles Gardeners.
The Chicago Drive-Bys.
The Houston EBTs.
The Seattle Grunges.
The Miami Little Friends.
The New York Hitmen.

He acts like he's such a football expert. He knows a few owners and has sat in owner's boxes--but that only makes him a jock sniffer.

I believe Rush has pretty much already joined the boycott, and he doesn't talk about football except for this topic anymore.

WTF does this flap have to do with free speech?
There's a protocol followed for the performance of our National Anthem.
Deliberate disregard of that protocol isn't illegal, but it DOES show disrespect for the song, the country it represents, the symbol of that country and the people who sacrificed to ensure the country endured.

Seems simple and forthright. No need for discussion. Also they are jerks no matter what skin tone they have.
Also the NFL does have a rule that players must be on the field for the Anthem. The rule also states what players "should" do during the Anthem. "Stand at attention with helmet under left arm and no talking" is part of it.
The NFL ignoring it's own rules and has abdicated its leadership position on this activity.

Over at ZeroHedge a story about fans burning NFL jerseys.
Please continue to go all in with the left on the culture wars NFL owners.
Support your BLM/Antifa players and say "screw you" over and over again to the people who make you money.
Then contemplate one of the laws of physics: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
