Disrespecting our flag is unthinkable for a true Hokie . . . -- MikeVT85 06/29/2020 5:09PM
I'd guess the corps is full of students smart enough to realize that -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 4:02PM
Can I ask a serious question here regarding this issue? -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 4:41PM
That is a fair question. There's no magic entity or set of rules -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 5:09PM
But that's the point...there are "rules" in some circumstances... -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 5:13PM
Sure. It's a similar process. I think it's different enough to have a -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 6:03PM
So the offended person has to explain to you.... -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 6:44PM
I mean seriously, you don't have a smell test on what others say? -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 8:00PM
Has nothing to do with "viewing things differently". -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 8:31PM
Then you are no different than any of us -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 8:54PM
Depends on how far your "scale is tipped". -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 9:07PM
As I said I get one say. And yes I have a smell test -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 7:40PM
Maybe I gave you too much credit too quickly. -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 8:24PM
Much better post. However, I still disagree -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 8:41PM
Not playing devil's advocate at all. -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 9:02PM
In any case, you are being reasonable. There's more nuance to my thought -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 9:24PM
But now you’re veering from my OP. -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 9:41PM
This is a great question, and I know the answer, but I'm not saying. ** -- Coach McGuirk 06/29/2020 4:50PM
I can flip it around the other way as well though. -- vthokieq 06/29/2020 4:55PM
So you guess you think you know what the full Corps would think and feel? -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:14PM
I definitely think they are smart enough to know that, but they are human -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 4:40PM
So you're still totally overrun by hypotheticals? OK. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:43PM
Uh, no? ** -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 4:44PM
You don't have any known experience in or with the VTCC, but you're OK with -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:46PM
I don't find it bizarre to hypothesize what others might think -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 4:52PM
The line you crossed was presuming to speak for people about which you -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:55PM
I didn't do that. I said what I thought they might think and I made it -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 5:13PM
Yeah, exactly. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 5:23PM
Which isn't speaking for them as you accused. -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 5:52PM
As in - -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 5:54PM
That's also not speaking for them. It's pretty clear that I'm the one -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 5:58PM
Hypothetically speaking, of course. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 6:05PM
Saying I wasn't speaking for them was not hypothetical.** -- jmanatVT 06/29/2020 6:28PM
I would have never guessed you lived in Lane:) ** -- Rodman6565 06/29/2020 4:22PM
Kneeling to protect police brutality is not disrespecting the flag ** -- VTSnake 06/29/2020 3:51PM
So out of touch! Foolish statement! ** -- Hockey Dad 06/29/2020 6:22PM
Sorry, I don't see the connection between kneeling for our national -- fordham 06/29/2020 5:16PM
Small edit needed ** -- dolph 06/29/2020 4:09PM
Haha, good point. ** -- VTSnake 06/29/2020 7:07PM
He can say whatever he wants...he's protested by the 1st Amendment. -- MP4VT2004 06/29/2020 4:16PM
It sure seems like they could pick a better time to eliminate that question ** -- 48zip 06/29/2020 4:03PM
The anthem is sung before the players take the field -- SteveInBaltimore 06/29/2020 2:27PM
And ... that's a 2? 3? year old phenomena -- Beerman 06/29/2020 2:33PM
Might be interesting during basketball season... -- Gobbler-100 06/29/2020 2:54PM
I remember when we used to turn our backs and pretend to read a newspaper -- Coach McGuirk 06/29/2020 3:26PM
I wasn't a student then but I remember when you guys -- santafe 06/29/2020 3:32PM
It might be interesting to see what Buzz would do it he had players take a -- IB4TECH 06/29/2020 3:20PM
Not sure but ... -- Beerman 06/29/2020 3:24PM
Yeah - definitely a bigger story now than a year ago. ** -- Hokie360 06/29/2020 2:59PM
Wont's they just stay in the locker room, too? ** -- 48zip 06/29/2020 3:16PM
Hoops team is always on the court for national anthem ** -- Gobbler-100 06/29/2020 4:02PM
(Wait...you surely knew that. Maybe I'm missing your point.) ** -- Gobbler-100 06/29/2020 4:03PM
Leave Gobbler-100 alone, huh? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:53PM
I'm actually 48zip's burner account. Just forgot to sign back in as him. ** -- Gobbler-100 06/29/2020 4:57PM
And (shhh) I'm really KHokie. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/29/2020 4:58PM
Football teams weren't, then they were. A few BB teams kneeled last year. -- 48zip 06/29/2020 4:08PM
