I salute the players for standing up for their brothers who are being unjustly decimated by police. They certainly have the right! I applaud them!

Absolutely! It's their right, just like every other American citizen. I wish someone would hire Colin Kaepernick!! What a waste of talent and how chickens^&* of owners not to do so.

I read the no comments and what they are saying is complete bull yes they are paid to play sports but they are also people and last time I checked people are allowed to voice their opinions and could protest as long as they don't go overboard and start doing illegal crimes I don't see a problem.

Athletes have first amendment rights as much as anyone else! They are leaders and are looked up to by young people...They are role models and should take political positions.

They are paid to play a game, And paid really high salaries They are athletes, not politicians and should not politicize sports.Just another example of pandering which prolongs unrest and violence..

Sport is entertainment. When it stops being entertaining, there is no longer any reason to watch.

Don't most people protesting social issues do so on their own time? I think it is very weak just because you have a forum.

They can believe what they want. But to protest not to play when they get paid millions of dollars to do is ridiculous. Just makes more people not want to watch sports.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
