the younger generation has always known the internet, the idiots in the media, etc - so they generally view the world with more of a healthy degree of skepticism than our ignorant, racist relatives who believe that Hillary killed 4 Americans in Benghazi with her email server because they 'read it on the internet'.

Bob one point to bring you back down to earth a little bit. In social psychology there is basically this fact that intergenerational relationships, ideology and culture don't change for about 3 generations or so. In reality it'll probably be the next generation after mine (I'm 31).

Also that doesn't totally factor in group/out group theory. Which I laugh because when people talk about political tribalism it's literally been going on forever just with a different name.

TROOPS!!

Stephen Martin heard all the arguments defending NFL players who protested against social injustice and police brutality. He even understood them, to an extent.

But Martin, who owns a sports merchandise store in Colorado Springs called Prime Time Sports, couldn’t wrap his head around players kneeling during the national anthem.

And after Nike made quarterback Colin Kaepernick the face of a prominent ad campaign last year, Martin stopped selling the company’s merchandise, a radical step for a sports store in a mall.

Now Prime Time Sports is closing, Martin announced Monday, a victim of both the culture wars surrounding the Kaepernick debate.

Two things that stick out. This guy is the in hole for 350gs. Doesn't sound fiscal responsible and actually another quote he said where he thought there were more of his side and he'd be ok. That's the one that blows me away.

I can respect his stance though because he stuck to his beliefs.

yeah one thing is for sure - he's committed to his beliefs - to the point of losing everything he owns.

I simply can't imagine being that upset at someone who chooses to peacefully protest during a song.

If he got $60 million, there must have been pretty strong evidence the NFL owners blackballed him.  They better hope none of that evidence sees the light of day.
