From: The Urban Dictionary:
Corn Hole is a serious toss game played in leauges on the West Side of Cincinnati Ohio. The game and targets are very similar to Bag'O, a commercial game frome the East Coast U.S..
Ex: My buddies from Delhi and I get together on the weekends to drink beer and play Corn Hole.
Poor RM.A day late and a dollar short. Again.
I'm amazed his jersey is selling so well. Not sure if its people supporting him, or people buying them to burn, but either way its surprising.
Nothing says Merica like blue collar workers spending $100 to burn a millionaires jersey because he is expressing his constitutional right to peaceful protest.

More political correctness bullshit. I'm getting tired of stations like ESPN coddling this guy. I'm also tired of teams and NFL not having the balls to denounce him. He is not intelligent enough to be doing this on his own. It is because of his girlfriend and nothing more than that. Colin, be sure you give us proof that you donated that million dollars. I used to truly root for you. I now hope you regret that you ever did this.
I like sitting in Las Vegas!!!
"Nothing says Merica like blue collar workers spending $100 to burn a millionaires jersey" Hobecw does billy know the demos of who is buying the jersey?

kaperenick will be doing a lot of bench sitting this year.
I'd love to see the NFL and any other sport who's players kneel, to do what the wash. Spirit did when one of their players took a knee for the Anthem, they started playing the Anthem before the players ever came out. I would absolutely love to see the NFL do this.
I respect anybody's first amendment rights but I'd really prefer they did it a different way, it's soo incredibly disrespectful to so many people, especially the hundreds of thousands of dead ones who fought for what the flag stands for.
I didn't kill anyone to defend a flag or a song. I did it to defend people's rights to peacefully protest.
I don't agree with his choices, but will defend his right to do so.

But flags and songs are symbols of the rights you defended.
They stand for good things, including peaceful protest.

Where, then, is the distinction between peaceful protest against a specific wrong, as one sees it, and demonstration of disrespect for, in this case, the country that provides the very protections and benefits that the 'symbol(s)' stand for, the privileges and goods that one enjoys as an American citizen, realizing that sometimes things are done very badly by individuals, not the country and what it stands for?
